V-fit STB09-2 Herculean Folding Weight Bench,Black/Orange

I looked at many benches and a lot of them are the same but i opted for the V-Fit because i've had their equipment in the past and trust the quality of their products and wasn't dissapointed this time either , built very well and value for money . Had a slight issue but this was dealt with within a matter of hours by this professional company . Great product and great company to deal with . Top marks all round

This is a replacement for the one I got last year . The good thing is the fly bars are set to the correct height and the fold up system is very good. Down side it a bit short but I will manage. I'm 6"2" . The other down side is i have to remove the fly bars in order to do a chest press this could be cause I have a shorter bar . If I got a longer bar the weights would probably miss the fly bars . My bar is 5 ft if I got a 6ft it would be ok. Overall it a good bench it will do the job if I don't want to hit the gym .

Though this is a good starter bench Ive had to give it 2 stars. The reason for this is because I bought it knowing it had a fly attachments too which can be set up as a permenant function. The problem with this though is that if they are attached you will be unable to do a flat bench press with the bar as the attachments will get in the way of the plates. Ive tried positioning the plates but its just too uncomfortable. I cant believe this has been over looked and is still being sold dispite this massive design fault.Of course you can set up the fly attachments as and when you want to use them but who wants to waste time constantly altering the bench. To be honest as well they're not that great as you cant do a fly press at full extent so its better to leave them off and use the dumbbells.Apart from this its pretty sturdy (for a beginners size so I WOULDNT RECOMMEND IT IF YOURE 6FT PLUS AND BULKY as it'll just feel too rocky). Im 5.11FT with a slim athletic build so it'll do for me (just!).I bought it for £40 on black friday- I wouldnt recommend spending £60 on it though as again the fly attachments will probably be left off.The photo I took was with the bar in its stationary position so you'll see you'll have no chance bringing that down to your chest.

I bought this bench as I wanted a bench which can fold out the way and not take up too much space. It does this nicely. it is quite small but I fit ok, I'm 6'2" and fit on the bench but I have removed the leg and fly weight connections as they get in the way. Not difficult to put together but does take time and patients. The bar holders are quite close together so you need a close grip to lift off and back on again when laying down. The fact you can incline the bench is very good to provide a host of extra exercise positions. Down side - a bit small and a bit wobbly but good enough to get on and workout.

Similar to other comments, I would say is a good bench, fairly easy to assemble however the fly section is a flawAlso, if you are over 6’ tall for sure I wouldn’t recommend getting this. I am 6’5” so this ended up being passed on to another family member.For him, it’s great. But no ideal for myself.If you expecting the world from this, don’t buy it. But as a reasonably well priced bench it is good, especially for people starting out.

A good bench but as some other reviewers have pointed out, it is not without its flaws, mainly the butterfly arms tend to clash with any weights for bench pressing and the nylon buffers for the butterfly arms will not survive much use (though it is easy enough to get replacements from the manufacturer).Another thing, get a proper set of spanners before assembling this bench. The ones provided with the bench are not very good and you cannot give the bolts a proper tightening when using them. Proper spanners = no creaking or wobbling.

Very easy setup, I would recommending using a couple of your own tools to make it easier but the tools received are practical!One thing I didn't like was the Buttefly arms have a Nylon material between two metallic materials and basically the Nylon will not survive thus the arms will become loose and you won't be able to use them ...Alternatively you can just lay down on the bench with two dumbells just as goodGreat delivery time, great quality and I am happy with it!

It was easy enough to put together, but the supplied spanner’s are pretty much useless. The incline seat back doesn’t go up to total upright, and the two rear retaining claws that hold the bar bell are set way too low and really need to be adjustable to give more flexibility when performing different presses. But that said it’s a cheap bench not the cheapest but it does a job to a point. Shame really could have been better
