Golds Gym XR 8.1 Combo GGBE99517 Weight Bench with 100 Lb. Vinyl Weight Set

First the included bar is worthless. Its not wide enough. I had to order a 7' bar. The support where you place the weight bar is right where you would place your hands on the bar. So your forced to have a very narrow or wide grip on the bar. So with the included bar, your forced to grip narrow because there is no room for your hand between the support and the weights. You really need a longer bar. The 7' cost me $100 and makes the bench worth using. Plus you can add more weights. Be sure you are are ordering a bar for 1" dia weights. The bench seems a little narrow and higher off the floor. I'm 5'9" and have to use my tippytoes to balance while lifting. Its easier for me to use the leg extension bar for balance. So do the math. Your gonna have to spend another $100 to get what you expecting. Since this not my primary piece of equipment i thought it was fair and it does the job intended.

I’d say that the company needs to check how they handle their shipping or something because 2 of the weights came damaged. Also I felt like the bar was a bit too light and the small seat is also a bit too fragile. I’m a heavy guy weighing about 213 so it may just be my weight. Still this product is very worth the buy. I’d just say they need to handle the shipping better since I have seen other reviewers also complain about the shipping.

When shipped i was not told it was going to ship in 2 packages, they came different days, the bench was weilder brand not golds gym brand, product seems ok tho, its going to serve its purpose even tho its not what we ordered exactly, the weights shipped separately and we got 150 lb weights not 100.. i was thoroughly confused..

I like that it's an all in one and easy to assemble. This is a good beginner set for my 12 yo son. I wouldn't purchase for an adult. Considering I'm only 5 feet tall, so it works for me as well. Good set over all!

The media could not be loaded.  I bought my Golds gym equipment, wasy instructions, easy to assemble, I also bought mats as seen on video (optional) a tent, because I have my equipment outside my backyard, and a rain cover because I want to care for my equipment, and make it last long, better for me than visiting dirty gyms. I love my equipment from Golds. I am very satisfied, thank you so much!!!

It is not a full size weight set, but if you aren't looking to lift more than 100 lbs then I don't think the quality of this weight set will bother you.

Bar was to light not official weight

It took longer then expected to arrive but worth the wait
