Product Information

Nicole said the bench felt sturdy, though not as heavy-duty as a bench from a brand like Rogue Fitness (which makes sense given the price). The foot pads, she added, were a nice touch and could be used for extra stability during different exercises.

Portability: To test the portability of each weight bench, we first pay attention to the overall weight of the bench and whether it includes a handle or wheels. If the bench is foldable, we note how easy the folding process is and whether it needs two people to fold or carry it. If you’re buying a weight bench for your home workouts, chances are you’ll be doing a lot more exercises than just bench presses. Elevated pushups, dumbbell pullovers, dips, squats, fly chests, and glute bridges are just some of the common exercises you’ll do. A weight bench will offer you a way to perform all of these as long as it is adjustable.

It can fold when not in use, has an impressive number of adjustment positions, and has a weight capacity that works for most people. Similar products by brands like REP Fitness, Bowflex, and Titan Fitness start at around double that ( Titan’s Incline Bench V2 is the same price, but at a much lower weight capacity, and to be honest, we have a lot of problems with it). A 2019 study involving over 12,500 people found that as little as an hour a week of resistance exercise may reduce the risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular disease. Experience level: A beginner may have different training needs and experience than experienced lifters.

But, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), strength training offers numerous health benefits. Specifically, strength training: Strength and durability are at the core of every piece of gym equipment including weight benches. The best judge of the strength and sturdiness of a weight bench is its weight capacity, which is the amount of weight or load a bench can safely bear. The weight capacity of a bench depends on its frame material and design structure. So how much can a low-cost foldable bench like the FlyBird take? I wouldn’t take any foldable bench, even one as good as the Flybird over 500lb. This is still a hefty amount, and if you’re a guy who weighs 180lb, this still leaves you 320lb to play with. This is usually the part where we’d ask GGR Operations Manager Sam “AsSAMbly” Presley what the assembly process was for this product, but the FLYBIRD Adjustable Bench actually ships pre-assembled. Simply open the box, rip up all the plastic protecting it, and get to benching. If you’re not Paul Bunyan, you’ll appreciate that this compact bench can easily fold in half by pulling the out pin. Construction and DurabilityThe problem with most foldable benches is that they love to boast high weight capacities, yet in reality, if you lifted heavy on one of these things every day, the bench wouldn’t last longer than a few months. Fitness goals: The equipment a person needs depends on their goals and the type of training and exercise they need. An individual should also consider the other equipment they will use with the weight bench.

When hanging, the bench extends only 8 inches from the wall. And during testing, we found it slim enough to slide easily under a bed or other furniture. We also found it simple to assemble, but you will need your own tools to do so. While it’s at a higher price point for a non-adjustable bench, it’s worth the investment for its sturdiness and ease of storage. Best for intermediate to advanced exercisers that need maximum adjustability and have limited storage space. Best for advanced exercisers who want to add more exercises to their routine and have plenty of space in their home gym. Because it's so lightweight, the bench does wobble slightly during exercises like step-ups, but we still feel safe using it.

Type: You should consider whether you’d like: a straightforward option that simply provides a strong and stable base for workouts; adjustability for a wide range of exercises and different angles; an all-in-one option that allows you to lift heavy; or an option to target specific muscles with extra attachments. For example, flat benches don’t adjust for angles, MacPherson says, making them less versatile than adjustable benches. With an incline or decline on adjustable benches, you can target your muscle groups from slightly different angles than you could with a flat bench.
