Athletic Works Standard Bench & Rack Combo with Leg Press

it's aturdy and not so wide. it's good for anyone living in a small room and it's not bad for the otherwise situation as well. For me it serves its purpose good.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. This product is just an accident waiting to happen. The bolts are very loose when assembling even though I followed all directions in the handbook. For the price I paid this is a very cheap and non sturdy product! The bolts are also missing as well and it’s also very crooked and I’ve done every trick in the handbook to make sure it wasn’t but unfortunately that’s how the product was made. I’m unhappy how the product came in. You are also unable to tighten the bolts so everything is just loose and wobbly I do not recommend this! Save your money from buying this product cause if I can give this zero stars I would ! Your best bet would be going to big 5 and getting a better sturdy one !!! I also had to add stuff of my own to fix the weights .

DO NOT BUY THIS UNLESS YOU PLAN ON THROWING SOME SHEET METAL SCREWS IN THE ADJUSTABLE BAR HEIGHTS. OR DRILL HOLES FOR PINS!!! Lifted the weight off the bar holder and it came off. Had i not been able to handle the weight , roll it down my chest and throw it to the side it would have KILLED ME!! I made a formal complaint. They are aware of this defect!!!

Product was damaged and part was missing. I reached out to the manufacturer to obtain the missing bolt and it was not replaceable. They couldn't send the part but wanted me to ship the entire bench back after it was already assembled. Multiple emails back and forth with no resolution for several weeks. Horrible customer service!

When I first bought this bench, some of the parts arrived cracked. However, customer service sent me replacement parts immediately. For home workouts, this equipment is more than good enough. If I add one more machine to my home gym, I will probably buy a lat pulldown machine. Then my setup will feel complete.

It was easy and quick to assemble. Nothing was too difficult to reach. Only needed 2 extra tools to complete it and both were in my home tool kit. Already used the bench multiple times and love it.

I put this together today, after purchasing an electric ratchet and wrench, which was my first time using a ratchet. And I was finished in no time. I'm pretty proud of myself, I thought I would need a man.

it's not a "leg press", it's a leg curl/leg extension. first the bad; it's tooooo low to the ground to use the leg extension properly, so I put some weights and a board under a frame by then leg attachment. 2nd, very dangerous if you're not careful; the "safety device/hook" is not to keep the barbell rest attached to the frame, said rest will fall out if you're not careful, so I inverted it so it holds the "rest" on the frame (see photo). Otherwise for the money this is a great bench, padding is good, easy to put together and easy to work out on, here is the weight limitations from the booklet: User: 250 lbs. bench barbell rests: 250 lbs. Leg ext/curl; 80 lbs.......plate storage post: who cares. total weight capacity at the same time; 500 lbs......not bad for $99.

I assembled it for my sons on Christmas eve %26 it was a piece of cake. I'm a Mom that only weighs 115lbs, but put it together with ease. Only took about 20 minutes from start to finish. Also, it's extremely durable %26 strong. Will definitely have around for many years to come. It's also not too big %26 bulky like a lot of weight benches tend to be. It didn't come with a cover, which sucks because we keep it in the backyard so it's exposed to the elements all year long. So we just bought a big tarp, threw it over it %26 used some of the weights to keep it from blowing away. Other than that it's absolutely perfect.

For light weight lifting this will serve its purpose. But has some fatal design flaws Pros: 1. Price - very competitive price for a bench with rack 2. Installation - Not the simplest but not overly complex and good instructions and pieces labeled by package. 3. Looks - Looks very nice once assembled Cons: 1. QC control issues - The lever for the leg exercises is leaning towards the left and uninstalled and reinstalled tried to align and realign and it is just how it just is leaning towards that side based on the weld. Measure both sides and one is about 1 to 2 cm welded closer. This could affect appropriate form for leg exercises 2. Flimsy - when moving the bench it shakes. It does not feel very sturdy. As of this time not a deal breaker since I have used it a couple of times. But I’m concerned about longevity and safety 3. Safety - This is a BIIIG one! The rail racks as removable to adjust as one expects. But they come off with very little effort, 8 out of ten times when removing the bar to do bench presses rack rails/holders come off if I’m wearing gloves or have my hands to close to the rack. They should have a a lock mechanism to prevent them from accidentally coming off. VERY VERY DANGEROUS. I will be drilling a hole from on side to another to create an anchor to prevent this from happening but this is a terrible oversight and makes this very unsafe especially if you are going to be using this by yourself since not all of us can have a spotter. Summary: It is as the title states, acceptable. Based on the price ($123 at time of review). I could live with it because I can make some small modifications for the safety concerns. And I do not plan on using more than 150 lbs when I bench press currently. For most beginners this will be ok (as long as you always use it with a spotter!!) for heavier weight lifting I would look elsewhere.
