Ok, most people buy these and after 3 months they collect dust or used as side table for ironing. Not me. I specifically was looking for a compact bench that could fold up, and more importantly do the one exercise everyone doesn't like.. back extensions. The reason is I'm getting older and i can feel my back and core being weaker and I want to hold it back as much as possible and this is the best combination of those factors at a low price too!
unboxing- I unboxed it in my family room with my son's help and we put it together in about 30minutes maybe less. mostly straightforward but you have to make sure to use the correct 'lockpin' as there are different sizes. if you make a mistake, just use the other one. problem solved. once put together Ii see how removing two of hte locking pins in the middle, and removing the curl bar and leg extension can allow it to fold up pretty small and be placed in a corner.
Useability – The padding is pretty good for a budget bench and i like the colors. it looks higher class than others. the padding on legs is pretty thin but I know I 'm not using it for extensions but rather to hold my feet in place so i can do situps without having to be on the ground. the benefit is also I can use a 5, 10, 20, r 25 lb plate on my chest to really isolate my abs in the correct order. then i can turn around and lower the bench to hit the really low abs with leg raises or scissor kicks.
elastic bands. – hmm.. i guess if you've never worked out these are useful but for any serious gym rat these will be useless. i did however find a way to use them to work shoulders, and if you squat on the bench it self give a littel resistant for legs.
curl bench- the curl part is very narrow and not good enough to do two arms very comfortably. I'd have to do 1 arm at a time which is fine, but I'd rather do both together in the interest of time.
side handles. good for beginner pushups (reverse elevation so less weight). not sure what else you can do with these yet.
Any other exercises are pretty common to all benches, so they all work. Overall, a good bench for not a lot of money and it will help save my back. I have a competition going on with my two children to see who does the most situps/ pushups/ back extensions this month. wish me luck.. regardless I'll be a lot healthier.

This was a gift and they’re very happy with it! The quality and sturdiness was exactly what they wanted.

Easy set , easy to store and perfect for at home exercise

I recently added the GIKPAL Adjustable Weight Bench to my home gym. This workout bench has proven to be a versatile and main piece of equipment for my full-body strength training routine.
The ability to switch between incline, decline, and flat positions allows for a wide range of exercises targeting different muscle groups. Whether I'm doing chest presses, shoulder presses, or leg extensions, this bench can handle all my workout needs.
The extended headrest is a thoughtful addition that provides extra support and comfort during exercises. It's a small detail, but it makes a significant difference, especially during more extended workout sessions. The leg extension feature allows for targeted exercises that enhance the overall versatility of the bench.
The overall aesthetic of the bench is sleek and modern, adding a touch of style to my home gym. It's a great addition to any home gym setup. Its versatility, comfort features, and space-saving design make it a great choice for those serious about their strength training and value.

Got this for my apartment since I decide to workout at home. The ease of movement is great, so I can just roll it into a corner when I'm done. For a foldable bench, the stability is surprisingly solid; it doesn't wobble when I'm lifting heavier dumbbells. The weight is pretty light too, which helps with moving it around. The design is straightforward and doesn't look bad sitting out. The ease of use is a big plus; it took like five minutes to figure out the angles. The adjustment ability is super simple with a pull-pin, so I can go from incline to decline without a hassle. It does exactly what I need it to for a home workout.

The leg curl is too small to use, I leave disconnected. The plates hit the ground if you go over 10lb plates. The preacher pad is too small for a curl bar, but ok if just a dumbell is used. The preacher pad is not wide enough for a grown man to use a curl bar. I would recommend this weight bench as long as you dont mind not using the leg curl. Its very compact, and flexible, exactly why I bought it. Solid steel construction, padding is good for now (less than 12 months of ownership), and lightweight and easy to fold and put away.

Very sturdy. Pretty easy to put together. Folds up but not quite as compact as the picture shows unless. I am doing something wrong. There were no instructions on folding it.

Sooo worth the purchase: This bench has allowed me to do more than ever imaginged: Sit ups, push ups, leg lifts, and resistance band exercises. I bought this bench with no expectations…a year later im glad to say that i made a great decision and purchase, because i'm still using & appreciating it.
