Weight Benches
Weight Benches: Flat & Adjustable
A good bench should feel immovable under a heavy press and still be easy to wheel out of the way. Our flat benches are built for heavy bench pressing; our adjustable benches add incline and, on the FID models, decline work. Every bench below is rated to carry serious weight in a home, garage or commercial gym.

Flat, adjustable or FID?
- Flat bench: the most stable choice for heavy bench pressing, and the simplest. Choose the Competition Flat 2.0 if you compete or train to IPF standards.
- Adjustable bench: adds incline pressing, seated presses and supported rows. The Team Plus goes from flat to 90°.
- FID bench: flat, incline and decline in one bench, with leg rollers to hold you in place for decline and core work.

Weight Bench FAQs
Should I buy a flat or adjustable weight bench?
If you mainly bench press heavy, a flat bench is more stable and simpler. If you want incline presses, seated shoulder work and supported rows from one bench, choose an adjustable. Our weight bench buying guide compares every model.
What does FID mean?
Flat, Incline, Decline. An FID bench adjusts below flat as well as above it, so you can do decline presses and sit-ups. Our Competition Adjustable Bench 2.0 goes from −15° to 85°, and the Commercial FID has 28 settings.
How much weight can your benches hold?
The Team Flat, Team Plus Adjustable, Competition Flat 2.0 and Commercial FID benches are rated to 450kg. The rating for each bench is on its product page.
How high should a weight bench be?
Around 43cm (17in) suits most lifters, letting you plant your feet flat for leg drive. The Competition Flat Bench 2.0 is built to that IPF height.
Can I use your benches in a commercial gym?
Yes. The Competition and Commercial FID benches are built for heavy daily use in gyms, studios and schools. For a full fit-out, see our gym design service.
