Review 1 for Gold's Gym Standard Bench
not real sturdy

I bought this bench for my 11 yr old son of Christmas 2010. I had it assembled and thought is was a great for the value. During Labor Day weekend the weights were remomoved and theupper part of bench was lowered, so 2 ladies could sit on the bench. The lower leg started folding under and Both people weighed approx 340 lbs together. There was no listed weight capacity that I remember, but I did think it would be sturdy enough to support 2 elderly medium framed women.

The weight bench does not hold enough weight

The weight bench is definately for a beginner, I got it for my son and it does not hold enough weight for his to increase his lifting, will fall apart if you add more than a certain weight.

You can put way more than the 110lbs suggested weight limit on there. They have to put that warning on there. I use well over 200lbs on it every week and leave 185 just sitting on it everyday.

This bench only hold 110lbs. the bench is to short length wise, the arms that hold the bar are to close togeter and the bench when you lay down is to high, try before you buy if you can may not fit your body type. I'll try and resell it on craigslist. Cheap is cheap.

Excellent Starter Bench

This bench has met my expectations and then some. Great for beginners or those who want to supplement their gym routine. I am 6 foot and 190 lbs. and this bench works just fine. Sure, it could be a few inches longer and the seat for your butt could be a little wider but those are minor problems imo. The bench was a little time consuming to build (a little over an hour) and you definitely need the help of someone else. Overall, I would recommend this to someone who wants to get in shape and doesn't have hundreds of dollars to blow.

Poor bench press width and design

After having used this bench for over 3 months, I have the following feedback. Lets start with the good:
Good:
- Aesthetically pleasing to look at
- Good construction quality for the price
- Good directions for assembly
- Aesthetically pleasing to look at
- Good construction quality for the price
- Good directions for assembly
Bad:
- The width of the poles for holding the bar is seriously inadequate. You can't put more than a total of 50 lbs on the bar and be able to put it on the holding stands without the fear of pinching your hands
- The width needs to be at least 6 inches more on both sides
- The width of the poles for holding the bar is seriously inadequate. You can't put more than a total of 50 lbs on the bar and be able to put it on the holding stands without the fear of pinching your hands
- The width needs to be at least 6 inches more on both sides
Conclusion:
It can't do the main job its supposed to do i.e. help in doing proper bench press without the fear of getting hurt. Do spend a little more and get a regular sized bench press ensuring that the distance between the poles is standard and to your liking. I didn't see it assembled before buying. I simply relied on the Gold's Gym name, big mistake.

Overall it's too small. The bench is too small. The bars are set too close. The curling bench is too stiff and hurts my arms after one use. Overall I am not impressed in the least. Also seems rather fragile. It shouldn't move while I use it.

Your hands go on the outside of the uprights that hold the bar. Sounds like you're trying to put your hands on the inside.

I'm 6'4" so it's way to small but if you're under 5'10" it might be ok for you. They should really put what size person it's for so you don't buy some thing you can't use. Other than the size issue it's a nice bench, but I will have to find and buy a different one.

Great Value (Pump it up!)

I looked at 6-7 different weight benches...this one was made very well, wasn't to difficult to put together. It did require a soft mallet, power driver (only because I have one), pliers, box wrench and socket tool. The bench is comfortable, stable, and made well. It allows dead weight lift, and arm curls, I just wish it came with an attachment that allowed for sit ups, but all in all, a great value for the money!

I feel like I am in a gym. The front bar with the weight is what I need to tone my legs and thighs. The adjustable bench lets me do crunches for my stomach and I love the small bench to put my elbow on when I do my dumbell weights.

Narrow Seat

I found it difficult to do hamstring curls on this because the seat is so narrow. Same with leg extensions. If you are a larger person you will feel like you are balancing on a rail on this. If you are petite/slender it will probably be fine.

Basically a Youth Bench
,03/01/2011

Gold's Gym doesn't call it a youth bench, but that's basically what it is. I'm a 5'10 / 160 male and this bench was too small. When lying down flat to bench press, my butt was hanging off the edge of the bench. The vertical bars (with the pegs for the bar-bell) were too short. If I were to have the bench on incline, I would have to squeeze in-between the bar and the bench. And on top of that, the difference between incline, flat and decline wasn't enough to truly hit the different parts of the pectoral muscle. The bench was too narrow and only covered half my thighs, so using the leg extension would have been uncomfortable. The leg extension only holds 50lbs, and the barbell pegs only support 110lbs. If you are an intermediate to advanced weight-lifter, serious about weight lifting... DO NOT BUY THIS BENCH. I returned it and will be purchasing an Olympic style bench, much closer to what you would find in a gym. On a side note. The Vinyl Gold's Gym weights are garbage. I guess you truly do get what you pay for.
