JX FITNESS Adjustable Weight Bench Incline Decline Flat Workout Bench 90 Degree Upright Home Training Sit up Gym Bench

I've been in and out of gyms for 38 years and have used many different benches, but this is the first time I've actually bought one of my own. I spent hours of research to try and find the best bench for me. One of the most common problems is that if you are 6' or over, backrest size and the general overall length of the bench could be a problem. Also, if you have long legs, you might struggle to get the leg extension/ leg curl to work properly or struggle to get your legs to fit under a preacher curl attachment. I'm a tad over 6' and this bench is a good size for me; the backrest supports my head in all positions (except 90 degrees) and is wide enough to give good support. [I've seen other benches with elasticated neck/ head roll pillows and so I've ordered one from Amazon to help my sore neck]. The seat is also generously sized compared to other benches and the overall feel and comfort is all good here with thick cushioning. Steel is sturdy and strong and the bench is stable. After having just returned a bench with leg attachments, that was just too small, I've elected to go for this bench and will use its comprehensive adjustments to do extensions/ curls; just remove the rollers (20 secs) and then adjust the front of the seat until you can hang your leg(s) over the rolled edge and swing them freely. Adjust backrest to suit you. Attach a resistance band to an anchor point low down behind you (you could wrap it around the bench's rear foot), and then attach the other end to your ankle cuff. When you've got the tensions and resistance just right, this exercise gives a really good range of movement, and the rolled seat edge nestles nicely into the backs of your knees. Perform leg curls by setting the seat front to desired height, attach the low anchored band, and lie down with knees just off the seat edge; again, the rolled seat edge cushions just above the knee and a good range of movement can be achieved. The seat is big enough for me to use one or both legs. After having tried allsorts, I reckon ths is the best way to do extensions/curls outside of a gym; the movement is smooth, controlled and complete, no rollers pressing against legs/ ankles, low inpact, and cost effective (set of bands and attachments £30 from Amazon). But most of all...soooo comfy using this bench. As my bench was just delivered today, I've only used it once and cannot give details on its longevity. The quality looks very good though and I have no reason to doubt its integrity. I just knocked 1 star off the assembly rating because the bolts that attach the backrest and seat were a little difficult to locate in the threaded holes and can be easily crossthreaded; just start by gently pressing in and turning anti-clockwise until you can hear and feel the bolt locate at the beginning of the thread, and then carefully turn. If you leave the bolts loose until they're all in, it will be easier to manoeuvre them in to right position. So as you've gathered, I'm a fussy and particular so and so, and I'm delighted to say that I love this bench and can defiitely recommend it to those like me, who are seeking to try and create their own home gym.

Bought this bench after reading good reviews and doing some research on Amazon. Delivery was very quick only 3 days and delivered by yodel. I've only used it for a 2 hour training session so far but am impressed and happy with my purchase. Pros: -Decent price £95 (including 5% discount). -Easy to assemble (half hour). -sturdy (I'm 6'4" and weigh 15 stone). -easy/smooth to change positions for different training techniques. -comfy to sit on and lie on. -well made and heavy construction. -Great for sit ups, could feel my abs working hard and was comfy doing so. -Looks pretty cool with the bright blue colour. -anti slip feet, so wouldn't move around or damage flooring. -foam roller pads are chunky and comfy. Cons: Leather effect covering could be thicker. (Suppose I'm used to using professional gym weight benches at my local gym, which cost hundreds and are made to take serious punishment). Overall: the bench is great for home, office or garage use and I'm happy with my purchase. It's well made and sturdy and offers many different folding positions. It's comfy to use and cost was decent for this quality weight bench. I would fully recommended the bench and look forward to many years working out on it ☺

It arrived packaged well, wasn't too hard to put together, it took me about 30 - 40 minutes on my own. It's a decent size, easy to move and for what i paid not a bad product. Obviously a proper gym bench will be better but this fits my budget since I want to do more exercise at home. Adjusting some of the nuts so they aren't too tight or loose can be a bit of a pain but it's not too bad.

I have been using this now for 8 months, multiple times a week with heavy free weights, with the bench inclined, declined in multiple positions. I purposely tested and waited til I posted my review to give an accurate analysis for the home gym user. It is very well (German) made and sturdy with good welds and thick powder coating. Bolts are good quality with nylock nuts. Frame is solid good thickness steel but light enough to move easily. The foam is thick and offers good support and stays firm under weight. The material is smooth and soft but firm and easy to clean and non porous. So far I have not had any problems. I can see this bench lasting a long time. Only issue I had was some of the studs pictured holding the lining strip that covers along the stapled parts was coming off, which I repositioned and hammered back down. It folds easily and I would suggest not to over tighten the bolts that allow it to move until you're satisfied with how you wish to move it's positioning. (Allen keys and Spanner Tools are included) For all intents and purposes this is a great solid piece of home gym equipment and I would recommend this as it was very good value and has not let me down. The quality for this value is hard to find as I researched before buying this, and using Amazon means your warranty is unquestionably protected. This is ideal for someone who trains at their own gym and makes an ideal piece to help achieve your gains.

Took a long time to arrive, I think I was unfortunate and it went out of stock as soon as I hit buy. But when it arrived I was not disappointed, includes all the tools you need to assemble (one spanner and two allen keys) and all of the nuts and bolts are vacuum packed onto a sheet of cardboard so it is very clear from the get go that everything is present (or not I presume if it in fact was not). Each individual tube in the construction is sturdy and thicker than I imagined for the price. The Back and seat seem relatively lightweight but I have had 5-6 strenuous workouts so far and there has been no flex or anything. It definitely is lighter than a professional bench when you carry it around, but it feels like it will hold up to a sensible amount of punishment. I wouldn't recommend using it for box jumps or anything. Very happy with the buy, I was worried that I could have been parting with cash for junk as with a lot of exercise equipment. Not so. Very happy buyer.

Very VERY Sturdy and stable. Does not make any noise when using it at all, unlike my older bench which was terribly noisy and rattly. Love how quickly you can adjust the backrest and seat. Great Price too. Trim underneath is a bit tatty but its not visible so does not bother me. You can lift a lot of weight on it too, unlike some of the other benches on amazon for this price. I Bought it mainly for bench pressing so it was important for me that it can handle a lot of weight. I also sit on the seat and do Bicep curls etc so i wanted a sturdy seat and a seat that was wider so my upper legs have more support because i was getting hip pains with my older bench.

First of all, this product was delivered after 3 working days, not the 21-24 days stated on Amazon for standard delivery Although not as strong as a bench in a commercial gym, I was surprised at its quality. The steelwork is very strong and so if anything fails in the future, it is likely to be the padding on the seat and back but time will tell. It is a lot better than I expected. Very easy to assemble and so my next challenge is to clear a bedroom so that I can use it without putting weights through the walls. Overall, I am very happy with every aspect of the purchase.

Don’t be expecting gym level equipment when you buy this as it is certainly not anywhere near commercial grade. It’s alright, does the job and beats laying on the floor. Relatively easy to build and pretty sturdy. What I struggle to understand is all these companies out there that are charging 2/3 times what they would have before ‘lockdown’ etc I find it all a bit of a joke to be honest and will definitely not be using many of these companies when things go back to normal. Unfortunately supply and demand means they can hike their prices and stupid people (myself included) still buy their overpriced and let’s be honest sub standard products. Like I said, decent enough weights bench, just rather expensive for what it is.
