Ultrasport weight bench

 

Il prodotto arrivato in tempo e senza incidenti. Non do cinque stelle, perch ho dovuto regolare i dadi principali, la panca non era praticamente solida durante l’utilizzo, sembrava che tutte le sue parti si muovessero

 

A lot more stable than I thought it would for the price

 

This bench arrived in the flat state making the box rather large and bulky but saving on having to do any assembly.

There are a lot of ways to configure the bench allowing for a full body workout using it from bench presses to leg raises and push ups with a customisable incline.

The bench feels sturdy to use and can then be stored away fla

 

I’ve trained in gyms all my life and I’ve worked as a PFT in some gyms. Was looking for a bench which would meet my home training needs whilst packing it away between workouts.
This bench is sturdy, comfortable, easily erected and folds down making it suitably smaller…….Fantastic!

 

Delivered exactly as described.
Amazon estimated an early delivery through no fault of the courier so it was late by 36 hours or so but the equipment itself is excellent quality and very easy to set up.

J’ai attendu beaucoup…..beaucoup….beaucoup de temps avant que le banc soit disponible .
mais ds qu’il a t disponible , il a t livr en 2 jours !

Le banc est parfait en tout point pour mon usage .
aussi bien techniquement qu’esthtiquement , je le trouve carrment au dessus en terme de qualit que les bancs de chez dcathlon.

Contrairement a ce que j’ai pu lire, le banc est arriv entirement mont , il est en mode “pli” dans le carton , par ailleurs, le banc est bien protg avec des mousses , aucun dgt a dplorer a la sortie du carton .

il a 3 positions possibles pour l’inclinaison de l’assise, et 7 positions possibles pour l’inclinaison du dossier ( avec le dclin qui se fait sans le “pin” l’pingle .
Je m’entraine dans une salle de sport donc j’ai l habitude du matriel pro , et ce banc me semble tout a fait correct pour un entrainement individuel a la maison.

l’ usage que je compte en faire c’est principalement du travail aux haltres ( 35kg maxi dans chaque mains )
du dvelopp couch a plat , du dvelopp inclin 45, du dvelopp paule 90 et dvelopp dclin .

Je ne l utiliserai pas en banc abdominal , car je n’aime pas le travail abdominale avec les pieds bloqus, mais je pense que c’est ok pour cet usage galement.

il me semble parfaitement stable dans toutes les positions.
J’ai quand mme resserr un peu les boulons de l’assise et du dossier, histoire de ….

Le cot pliable est galement trs utile , mme si l’encombrement reste massez important pli.
la hauteur du banc quand il est pli ne permet pas par exemple de le ranger sous un lit .

je n’ai pas encre d’exprience de ce banc dans le long terme , je ne sais donc pas encore comment il va vieillir ,
le revtement ne semble pas super rsistant , mais a priori , en prenant soins de ne pas poser des poids dessus a devrait le faire .
Pour l’instant je n’ai aucune raison de regretter mon achat , bien au contraire .
je trouve qu’il a un excellent rapport qualit prix.

 

This is a really good weight bench.

The bench itself was easy to construct, the instructions were clear and simple to follow. The seat appears hard, but it’s surprisingly comfortable. The bench allows for a multitude of workouts, for abdominal and arm/ shoulder building, the booklet gives you lots of exercises that can be carried out using the bench, if you are not a regular gym goer.

To assist with using the bench, you can amend the angle, the back and seat of the bench, making it comfortable and safe to use. It does not come with any weights, these need to be purchased separately.

The only downside, once it’s constructed, you have to find somewhere to store it as it cannot be folded down.

 

Needed some gym gear for home during covid 19 lockdown. Wasn’t feeling optimistic as some people are taking advantage by charging literally hundreds of pounds for a single dumbell! Really good product. Arrived already assembled and its very sturdy. Ridiculous value for money considering the lockdown situation!

 

This is a decent weights bench, though it feels like it’s at the budget end of the spectrum.

It can be set in a wide variety of positions, making it very versatile.

It seems reasonably solid, though it doesn’t seem quite as robust as ones you might find in the gym.

Can’t comment on the value for money as it says it’s currently unavailable. But I’d expect it to cost something like 50.

 

Comes ready assembled, sturdy as hell! Me and my mates love it in the garage. Sit ups, bench presses! Opens up whole new set of exercises to do.

 

Spent a lot of time researching this before I bought it. The folding point is important to me due to lack of space, but I also wanted something solid and reliable which I could use for regular, hard workouts. I’m far from being a serious bodybuilder, and don’t lift massive weights, but I do workout hard and didn’t want something which I was going to worry about collapsing under me.

The relatively low cost concerned me, as well as the concern of fake reviews (if you ever post a negative review on here, it’s amazing how quickly a barrage of contradicting reviews appear to counter it….).

Anyway, as it turned out, I needn’t have worried. The bench was delivered on time, was exactly as described and rock solid in use. It’s very quick (1 min) to unfold, and less to put away. It’s very solidly made, and honestly not much worse than ones I’ve used in gyms. Am very pleased with it.

If I was being really picky (and I’m deliberately trying to find fault here), I’d say it’s a bit low to the ground (the seat could be an inch or two higher for my preference). And I do wonder whether the padding will wear as well as a more expensive bench – although that’s not based on anything other than paranoia – so far it all seems fine. The only other thing is (and again being really picky) whilst this seems to be one of the most compact folding benches I’ve found, with a few tweaks to the design, it could probably have been slightly narrower when folded.

In summary, if you’re looking for a fairly basic, folding bench, then I would thoroughly recommend it. And not just for the price, but for any price. I’m not sure what I would have wanted out of a more expensive bench. Definitely a good buy.
—————
Quick addendum to this review, having now worked with this for a few weeks.

It’s still a really good bench, and still very solid, but there is a flaw if you plan to use this for sit-ups. There’s a big gap between the seat and back rest (2 inches?) which makes sit ups difficult. Am not sure whether this is a standard flaw with any folding bench, but worth bearing in mind if this is important to you, and enough to justify removing a star from my review.

 

This bench is exceeded my expectations for a folding bench below 100. The main benefit of this bench that made me choose it was the fact that it folds in half to a relatively small size, a lot smaller than the ones that fold up but leave the legs out. There is no assembly required, the bench comes in the folded state, and requires literally 60 seconds or less to unfold and setup ready for workout (this is done by removing 4 detent pins, unfolding, and then replacing).

The bench itself is plenty long and wide enough for myself, I’m 6-foot and there is plenty of room, I’m not the heaviest of people but the bench seems very solid when setup, although I don’t believe it will support the stated 500kg weight (the manual also states 400kg not 500kg, but most gym benches have a max weight of 250kg, let alone a folding one). The bench weighs about 15KG i’d guess, it also has a carry handle so it’s easy to move around when folded.

There were a few paint chips, dents and material scratches and one of detent pins that came with the bench is damage (the spring has collapsed), although this doesn’t really bother me, and I use that pin just for foot-rest position. Amazon also refunded me 20% of the price due to these minor defects so I’m very happy overall.

The seat positions are fine (and the seat is very large), the back-rest positions are also very good (decline, flat, multiple incline positions). Only downside is there is a rather large gap between the seat and the backrest in the decline position, however after reading other reviews of similar products I believe this is the case with the majority.

In conclusion, if you’re looking for a decent, sturdy bench for working out at home and you want it to be able to fold up when not in use to a size that can easily be put in a cupboard, wardrobe or under your bed I would say this is probably the best one you’ll find for under 100.

 

The last bench I bought was a non-collapsible York one. It was about 70’s worth. I was against a collapsible one because I thought it’d be flimsy, and definitely weak and unstable… not so with this Ultrasport bench. (Admittedly it can’t collapse to a truly thin flatness, but it’s enough so that I can just slide it under my bed.) Out of the box, this is pretty easy to assemble — simple instructions — although I did ask my partner to help (because it makes it easier all round). The foam bench/padding feels good, not cheap and pathetic as I initially feared. The bench easily handle my weight (over 13stone) plus the weights I lift. It’s handle my movement when it comes to dips and lifts fine. Definitely a good home purchase for anyone looking.

 

This is an adaptable and sturdy piece of kit requiring only minmal assembly. I have a lat pull down system st home and can use this Ultrasport bench to give a good solid workout to most major body parts . Unlike other benches I have owned it is foldable and portable so great for people who are short of space. One minor downside is what you lose here – some of the padding – which is less generous than some of the more expensive and well-known brands . All in all though this is not half bad for the price and will meet the needs of many home gym addicts.
