RitFitAdjustable/Foldable Utility Weight Bench for Home Gym, Weightlifting and Strength Training - Bonus Workout Poster with 35 Total Body Exercises…

The media could not be loaded. I've been doing dumbbell workouts nearly everyday on this bench for 2 months now.Things I like about this bench:• Feels well made and sturdy.• Foldable form is perfect for apartment living.• Mine doesn't wobble, like at all.• That foothold thing is optional, you'll notice I didn't attach it to my bench.• Some other foldable benches sit really high off the ground for some reason, this one is normal height.• I appreciate that the design is low profile and doesn't look obnoxious next to my furniture.Areas of concern:• I saw other reviewers say that the nub in the locking mechanism got bent during bench press. I would not bench press with this bench, just because the locking mechanism doesn't inspire that much confidence for me. However I did stress test this bench by laying it flat, sitting on the upper edge while holding two 70 lb dumbbells, and bouncing up and down on the seat to see if it would break. It did not feel like it would give. I also regularly do chest press with two 70 lb dumbbells on this thing. This bench feels very sturdy and I am not worried at all that the locking mechanism will have any issues during dumbbell exercises. I also have the feeling that the people that had bent locking mechanisms possibly didn't twist it all the way in like you're supposed to. However, if I do have problems with this bench, I will definitely update this review.• The upright height isn't enough to lay your head against for overhead press. I thought this would be annoying but it turns out it doesn't really matter at all, since I could scoot forward in the seat and lean back so that my head is supported by the bench. Also doing overhead press without leaning your head back is not even unpleasant.Overall, this bench is high quality and fills all my needs. I'm extremely happy with this purchase.Update: A little over 4 years later, that little nub finally broke off. I have the powerblocks barbell attachment, and I've been setting the bar (roughly) onto the bench after doing shoulder shrugs. The full weight of that is 200 pounds (90kg). I was doing that for a year before it broke. Thought I'd update the review, but it looks like they changed this listing to a different product so it doesn't matter that much anymore I guess.

This could very well be the best purchase I have ever made for my home gym. I have been using cheap adjustable benches for years. They have always been wobbly and very thin, which would hurt my shoulders when benching.This couldn’t be more different from that! Not only did it come pretty much already assembled, other than having to attach the bases (which was very refreshing! Only took 20 minutes total). But it also is very wide, sturdy, and comfortable. The padding seems very high-quality, and I am honestly very shocked at the price being so low, considering I have spent more than 100 on far worse benches. This is also the first bench I have ever bought that hasn’t wobble at all. Will definitely be buying from this brand again if this hold up, which it feels like it will!

The bench arrived today, and upon the minimal assembly required, I decided to make some upgrades before I had even used it. These were not absolutely necessary, but doing so enhanced the sturdiness and overall usability.First, i added some duct tape around the inserted part of the legs to minimize movement. Second, I added two inside washers to the leg/ankle holder since it moves up and down. Third, I drilled two additional holes in the main bench bracket to provide two additional incline placements for the back/main support. Finally, I drilled a hole in the steel "pin" that holds the bench together and allows for the bench to be folded for storage. Doing this allowed me to use a "cotter" pin to a. make sure the pin didn't fall out while using the bench, and b. insure that it will not fall out and get lost when storing the bench.All in all, an excellent bench. Arrived less than a week after ordering (w/o any damage), and was super easy to assemble. The company even provided two wrenches (w/three different metric openings) to assemble the bench. Nice welds, minimal movement (after the aforementioned mods), lightweight and storable. Though I thought that the leg support rollers locked into place, and that there was a higher incline for the butt portion of the bench, it is still extremely versatile and held up nicely for my first workout. Not sure I would want to use it to rep out 235 lb bench presses, but am not at all concerned with doing 100 lb dumbell presses. For the price and convenience, this would be really hard to top. Very happy!Update: so, I had to go back and drill another hole so that the back support would actually lay flat. (it still is not completely flat because the butt/seat support section is slightly off.) Also, when I had the bench in the decline position (for the back support) the ends of the metal support rails dug into my back so much so that it was too painful to continue. I ended up wrapping and taping the ends, but still need to lay a towel across the gap when doing decline position(s). Rethinking my original review and knocking off a star. Just really poor quality control concerning the "missing" holes and the oversight concerning the ends of the metal rods digging into your back while using.

I've been screwing around at home on a blow up balance ball to try to mimic the exercises I use to be able to do at the gym. While I appreciate the glute workout I wasn't actually trying to get when I used the ball, it was too limited to actually do more than awkward presses. I saw this bench and almost peed myself. The price was perfect and it looked very sturdy in the photos. It got here quickly and I assembled it (very easy...thank you so much for that). It is just what I was looking for. Super sturdy bench, adjusts like a dream, light enough to move where I need it without any help (I'm a 5'3", 130 lb female). But heavy enough to stay where it suppose to. No wobble, nothing. I've done everything I know how to do on this bench and it is stable. Leg lifts, hip thrusts, overhead pulls, inclines, declines....all of it with heavy (heavy for me) weights. This bench stays where it is suppose to stay and I absolutely love it!
