For full disclosure, I am not a gym head or professional body builder; I am a casual exerciser who wants to workout at home. I bought this to replace an older "higher end" brand of weight bench, and I really do like it so far. The ONLY thing I had to get used to is the butterfly handles, as they are not a stationary handle grip like my old bench, but it still works. Just gets some getting used to. I did build this myself in about an hour, but it would definitely be easier with 2 people. I just had to use what I had nearby to help keep things upright while I attached the pieces, but when I did, it was a good, quality build and so far it's a pretty decent bench that does what I want it to. I did have to buy new weight bars but that's no big deal, I was going to do that anyway. The brackets (or whatever they're called) were too wide for my old bar so the bar wouldn't sit, but like I said, I'm glad I bought a new bar for it. Overall, a pretty decent bench for the price range and very sturdy and comfortable. I like it

I'm a Senior on SS and ordered this bench to get back to working out! It's perfect for My needs, low cost with the features I need. When the bench arrived, the carton was damaged and the main back cushion was ripped and the curl pad was cut.. With NO HASTLE at all, I contacted Marcy and they immediately shipped new cushions that arrived within days. Thanks to Cesary B. for prompt resolution!!

I am pleased with how this bench is built. It is sturdy once it was assembled. I am able to use all the attachment features but find the handles for the preacher curl are not comfortable. I removed them and just use the padded cushion without the handles along with dumb bells. The main reason I bought this was because I was very interested in the leg curl and leg extension attachment. The leg extensions are not a problem because I can sit upright to do those. I'm 5' 4", and my feet/legs can reach the rollers by sitting toward the end of the bench. The leg curls require that I lay on my stomach, and where the bench hits my thighs causes bruising and discomfort. I am working on some kind of modification -- like a pillow or piece of foam. Other than the thigh discomfort, the rollers hit my calves/ankles in the right place, and the leg curl is comfortable and effective. Once I can improve the comfort level of my thighs against the bench, I will be 100% happy with this bench. Its uses weighted grips (discs) that (1" diameter hole) which need to be purchased separately -- you can purchase these individually so that you can start with only what you need. I would also recommend purchasing a barbell. This shipped promptly, and the price was fair.

This product started out okay for us. I’ve had this item for 2 years. I noticed right away that the set didn’t feel stabile. The single leg in the front of the bench isn’t enough for the suggested weighted. The leg slides back and bends the support bar. I haven’t been able to pull it back out flat. 😩I had to remove the chest fly parts first. The lay were so bent that I was afraid my husband would get hurt using them. Overall the size is good and it’s comfortable it’s just the flimsiness of the chest fly bars, leg extensions that ultimate damaged the structure and now I have to replace it because I didn’t get the warranty ðŸ˜

Cool and cool looking, works great nice and sturdy for the price. I Recommend a 72†bar, the 60†is too small/narrow and hands/web can get pinched when putting the bar back on the up rights.

Made more for a woman than a man size wise. It’s not expensive but then you have to buy the weights separately which does run the cost up considerably. Lots of pieces to assemble so having a helper is recommended.

I just needed a bench because the old one for my smith machine wore out. I had seen thus model when it came out ten years ago and always wanted to try it since it was so cheap.The Sports Authority had one set up and it seemed OKAY. I really liked the chest fly even though I prefer doing it with dumbells. Well this unit does not serve my needs. I would be better spending the money on just a bench. This had a preacher curl similar to my old bench but is no where need as good.1. Goes together easy and is solid. Only plus.2. The bench press uprights are to narrow. They hold the barbell where you need to grip. This forced you to do either a wide grip or narrow grip. Narrow grip is preferable given the choices but this is aggravating that neutral grip is impossible.3. The preacher curl does not allow full range of motion to the top. My old one did. This prevents getting the critical last few inches to flex out the biceps. It stops short by hitting the pad and blocking the bar from being pulled closer. This is a superficial workout.4. The right chest fly on mine has a defect. The threaded insert is not welded correctly so it rubs when rotated. The left one is done correctly and seems high quality. Problem is the handles do not have enough length to engage the chest. My arms are bent to close to the chest. This makes the shoulders do all the work and defeats the point as it is horrible biomechanics and terrible lifting form. This will cause an imbalance in the anterior deltoid which I already have. I think this can be fixed by adding chains or Garry rigging cables with handles and using it that way but do not want to bother.Final thoughts: It failed at barbell press, chest fly, and preacher curl. I and 5'6" and it feels too small for me. I might have been able to use this when I was 12. The leg things are wimpy as expected and I did not test them. 3 stars would be generous, 2 stars realistic but no more. While the concept is brilliant on paper it fails to execute. If they made a wider one with better functioning and build quality that met my needs priced around $600 they would have a winner. I am just going to stay far away from this brand and do push-ups and calisthenics until I can afford quality.

Very good bench. sized to fit most workout areas. Very sturdy, strong welds. Seat and back have just the right padding and appear to have good durability. The only suggestion I have is when you assemble this, the moving parts I suggest you add a lubricant (light grease) which will make it quieter and move without wearing. I added a rubber to the stop bar at the leg press where it rests at the frame to make it quiet. This was just a rubber 1" round table leg cap (comes in 4 packs).The only real con about this is the 3 feet of the bench are a molded steal without any protection for your flooring which it is mean to go on a rubber mat flooring. Do not use foam, best is to buy a rubber mat that is 4'x6'x 1/4" this will secure the bench from moving and protect your flooring plus helps to dampen noise which is what you need in an apartment.

I waited 4 months for this, as it was back ordered. Not disappointed! Went together easily in about an hour with clear instructions.When I unpacked it, I was immediately impressed by the welds and finish.Its sturdy and well made. The barbell rack is a little to narrow, so getting a wide grip is tricky.For me, its for casual use/exercise, and for the price, I recommend it!
