That patent pending gapless feature is suspicously like my benches patent pending gapless feature. My bench which is already on the market.
Imitation is the sincerest form of... I'm gonna cut a !@#$*. ROFL!
Was hoping to find a fid bench with leg developer and narrow seat on a budget and dont think the ironmaster is for me do to the lack of seat adjustment as standing at a 90 degree angle impedes standing up with dumbells and I dont want to drop my powerblocks. I will mostly do low incline db pressing and ab work on it and was hoping for leg curls and extensions as well. Can anyone vouch for this bench? Im thinking about giving up on the leg developer.
I am a little concerned about the strips of metal used to maintain the position of the back pad.

This is a steal. Pad is a little eh but overall it’s great and can’t beat the price.
139$ for the Fitness Reality 2000 FID bench. I have one and the pad is a little eh but for this price it’s a steal.

This gets the job done. I haven’t used mine yet but first thing you’ll notice is the upholstery is pretty eh. And the cushion kinda sucks. These are compared to the nice commercial gym ones I’ve used.
But it’s 215 with free shipping and it’s a FID. I got it 200 otd and think it’s good for the price. I really wanted a ab3000 but 🤷♂️
A lot of people here seem to not be enthusiastic about this bench, but I have it and I really like it. I got it quick too, ordered 7/31 and delivered 8/6. I was a little worried about the recent reviews, but after receiving the bench it mostly seems like the people who ripped their seat cover were just using it wrong. The incline has an additional step where you slide the lower seat forward before inclining the bench, and I think people didn’t read the instructions and didn’t do this, leading to tension on the two cushions.
Anyways, I’m just one person, but I like this one.

This gets the job done. The cushion sucks and upholstery sucks even more but it’s decent and probably the cheapest solid FID bench out there.
But the price has gone up since I bought mine. Mine was 180 and just under 200otd. Once you factor in prime shipping it’s a solid deal. But I’d never buy it if I had to pay shipping.
I have the XL 2000 version from FR and I recommend it because I have it and its a very sturdy great bench. FR seems undervalued in the homegym community but this bench is a great buy. Its rated at like 800 lbs but doesn't wobble does all 5 positions from decline to shoulder press. I got it at like $180 but the prices seem to fluctuate.

Well I wanted a Rep ab3000 FID. Fitness Reality has their Super Max 2000 in stock on amazon so I decided to get that for the time being because space is a little bit of an issue.
I realize two different classes of bench as far as quality but I think I can make the FR bench work for the time being.

Which lower end benches were you talking about?
Looking for recommendations on a good FID bench that stores vertically when not in use for space saving. Budget around $300. Currently I'm considering the Fitness Reality 2000 as a cheaper option, or the REP AB-3000 and possibly doing a wall hanger with that. Bowflex also has a couple with their 's - stowable' line. Would love some suggestions!
Hello friends, Vancouver Canada here.I now have a rack, the fitness reality 810 which I snagged from Walmart.ca for 550. I now need a good bench for powerlifting. It would be preferable to do incline, but I guess I could use blocks?https://www.amazon.ca/Fitness-Reality-Capacity-Detachable-Lock-Down/dp/B07B3Q9F22/ref=sr\_1\_1?keywords=fitness+reality+2000&qid=1636502389&sr=8-1This bench seems well made and versatile, but some people say the foot bar gets in the way of the feet during bench press. What do you think?The benches in my local fitness stores are total trash for 350$.Also, I have these J hooks and am looking to replace them or cover them in uhmw tape. https://www.amazon.ca/Fitness-Reality-Steel-J-Hooks-Power/dp/B07B4Y3WH4/ref=sr\_1\_8?keywords=j+hooks&qid=1636502839&sr=8-8Any advice appreciated.

For $50 more than your budget, the titan FID single post bench is a really solid option.
$250 https://www.titan.fitness/strength/benches/adjustable/single-post-adjustable-fid-bench/400969.html
Everything else that’s really solid quality comes at $400+ (iron master super bench pro, REP-AB series, rogue adjustable series, prime fitness etc.)
Flybird and fitness reality FID benches on amazon are within your budget and will get the job done, but I think the titan bench is worth spending a little more extra on.

Looking for input on a Home Condo Gym Setup
Main questions:
I was wondering if someone could quickly take a this bench seat I was planning on buying. I want something stable, that provides leg support for crunches, and folds (at least partially) for storage. Does this look okay or do you recommend another brand?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B3Q9F22/
I was also thinking looking for a simple bench press rack (I hope that is the right term) - I'm going to be getting a PowerBlocks straight bar accessory to go with my existing kit. Any other recommendations? I'm trying to conserve space.
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Soozier-2-Piece-Pair-Steel-Height-and-Base-Adjustable-Barbell-Squat-Rack-and-Bench-Press/907486082
Isn't there some kind of mechanism I could use to lock down the bar when adding weights? I swear I used like some kind of snap lock at a gym one time, so the bar wouldn't fly off with weights added to only one end.
I think I would get this one instead. Not only is it cheaper but a lot of people who have it on this sub really love it. Free shipping too with Prime. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B3Q9F22/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B3Q9F22/ref=crt_ewc_title_srh_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER I have heard good things about it from people that have it or you could try your luck at catching a Rep 3100 in stock.
I have this one, it’s a solid bench at a good price.

If you don’t need decline or a leg attachment, this one is cheaper and smaller. I also own this one, but I much prefer the other one I linked too.
