    Solid bench. Work well for weights and torso exercises. A 5” gap between seat and back when flat. I just made up an insert out of wood, foam and vinyl to fill that gap. See photos Like wheels to move around and store standing up when not in use

    I love this bench. The build quality is top notch. There’s no wobble or creaking while using. It’s a bit bulky for vertical storage but it’s manageable and not too heavy. Pairs great with the Bowflex adjustable dumbbells.

    I needed a Bench to go along with my Bowflex Dumbells and since I love the dumbbells so much I bought the bench. My at home gym looks great and bench is good.

    This bench is very sturdy and easy to assemble. The adjustable section of the bench is nice because it gives you multiple settings while at the same time the mechanism is very easy to operate. I bought this because it's easy to store in the upright position and because it is a Bowflex product. I was also able to purchase it at a time when there was a promotion from the best from Best Buy so its price was significantly better than anywhere else

    I had limited space for weight training and bought a Bowflex Select tec 552 with a media stand. The bench was a perfect complementary piece of equipment. Assembly was pretty straightforward using the YouTube assembly video from bowflex. I started using the select tec app and it was easy to adjust the bench for a wide range of exercises.

    Positives: Feels pretty solid. Stores easily. Height adjustment options are nice. Negatives: The gap that everyone is complaining about is really huge and uncomfortable in certain situations. I'm not sure how the designers of this bench thought that was OK. The screws that come with this bench are one of those really really cheap Chinese screws that will melt off if you use any amount of force. The leg holder pads are too close to the butt pad for my legs. How hard would it be to allow you do adjust the distance from the pad? A little disappointed given this is their best bench.

    Feels like the Tesla of workout benches. Perfectly engineered. Tough enough to handle us bigger people and yet as comfortable as a luxury ride. Some assembly is required but it’s very easy to put together and start working out (only two sizes of hex wrenches are required and they are included).

    Bench was super easy to put together. Took about a half hour or so to get it assembled. It's got some weight to it so it feels nice and sturdy. The adjustability lets you do all of your bench exercises, flat, incline and decline. Highly recommend.

    This bench works great and is high quality. Assembly was easy. After a few weeks of use I recommend. Yes the gap is significant between the seat and back but it does not really impact me. I am 6’2 and not really an issue. I use bow flex 1090 dumbbells and between my weight and nearly 200 pounds of weights it is solid.

    Good sturdy bench, great for my workout space I made in my at home office. Easy to put together. I have 3 very minor (for me) issues. The space between the cushions is a little farther than I’d expect. The wheels to move it come out right where you’d normally plant your feet, so you’ll have to get used to that. 3. In order to change the incline position is a peg that needs to be unscrewed. I would expect a peg that can be pulled out like on other benches. Overall the pros vastly outweigh the cons for me, and I really Enjoy this

    Assembly was a nightmare as it is going to take you more tools than they supply. Also, some screwholes do not seem appropriately installed, so do not be afraid to grab a hammer and bang away! Tried to call the customer service number for assistance, but they mever answer as I waited over an hour on hold. This is when I grabbed the hammer! Once together, bench is actually nice & works as advertised. Only complaints - Gap between seat & bench is large in flat/decline positions - space to hold legs in place is tight. Bought on sale - would never buy at full price.
