Steelbody Deluxe Utility Weight Bench for Home Gym Weightlifting and Strength Training

Very stable, much better construction than a couple of other benches I've purchased. Useful for a number of different exercises and easy to move. Read more

This is a solid bench. The seat and bench are a little wobbly since they have a wide tolerance in the bolts, but it never bothers me or interferes with any lifts once you’re on it. They are also a little wider than I would prefer (I’m 6’, 175lbs), but I’d imagine it would be more comfortable for wider people. It is fairly transportable since it has wheels. But doesn’t fold up completely or anything, so still takes up quite a bit of room. Highly recommended for the price point. Read more

After using FID benches for years, I decided to move to a flat bench. The first one I got was okay, but after a couple years, I wanted something that had a wider pad. I bought one that we returned, and the same night we returned it, I ordered this one, the Steelbody Deluxe Versatile Rated 800 lbs Flat Utility Workout Bench. I'll be honest. I've owned a few pieces of Marcy fitness equipment, and they're okay considering price and size, but when I saw that Steelbody ws an Impex/Marcy brand, I had a moment of concern. Still, the reviews were enthusiastic, and the bench looked like exactly what I was looking for, so I thought "Why not?" This bench ticked every box on my list. Our workout area isn't large, so we wanted something not too long, and the pad on this bench is 43", but it's wider than most, which I very much prefer. And it's wider on one end than the other, which makes it more versatile. The pad is firm but has some give on the top, and the cover is fairly thick with some texture. Everything metal is strong and sturdy, and the rubber feet stick to our hardwood floor well. The handle is also well-placed and the wheels work well. And it was easy to build. It has no smell of any kind. In fact, so far this Steelbody Deluxe Flat Utility Workout Bench is exactly what I was looking for. It's comfortable, sturdy and stable, and it's easy to roll to a corner, closet or the side of the room. One side of the pad is 12" wide, the other is 15" wide, and that leads me to one more thing I really appreciate - the description and measurements of the bench are accurate. This is a big thing, as most benches I've tried make inaccurate claims, exaggerate or leave things out of their descriptions. I've been through a number of benches, mostly more expensive than this one, but this one really delivers on what I was looking for. For those looking for a wider flat bench that's sturdy, stable, comfortable and reasonably priced, this is one I'd recommend. Read more

I’m giving this bench 5 stars because the quality is there. It’s sturdy and feels genuinely built to last. That being said, I ran into a few issues: 1. As seen in the photo attached, the back pad came with a deep stain on it. It looks like oil or blood, and I haven’t been able to get it out. 2. The instructions were HORRIBLE. I built an entire home gym before setting up this bench and none of their instructions were nearly as bad. The way each part is labeled, and the way the instructions go through each step is so poorly done that it took me at least twice as long as it should have to set up. 3. The main back pad feels too short. I was worried about this, but a few reviews convinced me I should give it a shot. When in the upright position, the back of the bench only goes up to the base of my neck. It makes it impossible to have my head resting in the proper position while doing any incline chest press or overhead pressing movements. If you’re 6’+ and having your head resting on press movements is important to you, or if you want a bench with easy instructions, then you may want to look elsewhere. If none of these things bother you and you’re shorter than 5’11”, this bench is built to last, heavy and has little to no wobble. Read more

The Steelbody Deluxe Utility Weight Bench is a solid, well-built piece of equipment that’s perfect for any home gym. It feels sturdy and stable during workouts, and the padding is comfortable and supportive. For the price, the quality is excellent and hard to beat. The only downside is that it doesn’t have a decline setting for decline bench presses—but overall, it’s still a great value and highly recommended. Read more

A few eons from now when some random galactic explorers discover the remnants of our earthly 'civilization' they will probably find a whole bunch of these excellent Steelbody weight benches still in rock-solid pristine condition. Very likely they will gather up as many as they can and transport them back to their native galaxies for use as the centerpiece in their home gymnasiums. Beautiful, built like a tank, EASY assembly (okay, a 17mm socket ratchet or wrench is useful) rolls effortlessly where ever you need it (stands up nicely out of the way when you don't need it) classy and stylish labels & logos. Wide enough, long enough, strong enough, stable enough for any legitimate workout application. And best of all, none of the if's and's or 'but's other customers whine about in the reviews of all the cheaper (yes) but otherwise inferior benches being sold on this site. Do yourself a big favor and get this one! Read more
