Checks off everything on my wish list!
Since the pandemic, Ive put on a bit of extra weight, so I decided to invest in some fitness equipment to help get me out of the rut Ive been in. This weight bench and rack checks off everything on my wish list: Easy to assemble - took about one hour and two people to put together. Well built - this is both sturdy and well made. Added plus is that its comfortable! Brand name - I wanted a well established brand with a good reputation, which Weider has! Easy to use - everything about this is simple and self explanatory. Im starting with some fairly light weights because Im a newbie and have very little arm strength! Great size! Im clearing out my spare room to convert into a mini gym. Its a fairly small room so the size of this bench is perfect! Ive used this bench several times and so far, I love it! All in all, this was a fantastic purchase and Im excited to be starting my new journey to better health and fitness! I was given this product for a reduced price in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

    Happy about a good deal
    I gave the bench five stars because it is well made for it's price. It seems to be sturdy. I wish the seat was metal and not particle board, but it is a less expensive model.

    Expectations were met during this transaction!
    1. Came fairly quickly. Ordered on a Saturday and got it Monday, it was updated at least 2x though. Originally, it wasn't supposed to be here till Thursday. So, that was a plus. 2. Unlike when I received my weight/barbell set this package actually came in pretty good shape. Box appears to have been handled properly. **My weight/barbell box was all torn, soaked and had tape from here to Point Nemo wrapped around it, ??‍♂️.** Now, i just have tonwait for the quality techs to come out and assemble. Overall it was a great transaction, this time around.

    Not a good design very bad instruction
    The product is ok for the price. However, does anyone having issue with installation Weight Rest? There is a stick weld in a handle causing the handle going fully in. It doesn't make sense, very bad instruction...

    This product is very bad. Dont get fooled by the reviews like me. I bet the company is writing good reviews themselves because this product is terrible. It wobbles when u assemble, and when you call customer service they are no help at all. Dont be like me, look for a quality product and not this fake bench.

    Great for a home gym
    My husband and son were very pleased with this weight bench. It was easy to assemble and is well made. It's fairly light weight so it's easy to move as needed. The adjustable parts are easy to adjust and work perfectly. I love that everyone in the family can get use out of this bench. It's padded enough to offer comfortable support during our workouts. I'm very impressed with the quality of this bench. I was given this product for a reduced price in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

    High quality equipment and easy to use and adjust
    I'm really pleased with this bench, I got this to start my personal gym at home since the gym has been closed forever since the pandemic. First of all, the equipment is high quality, and fairly easy to assemble for the type of bench, it took me a little bit less than an hour the get it done by myself, you will need a few extra tools that are NOT included though (shown in the first picture), the instructions recommend 2 people to assembly, probably it would take less time or it would make it even easier, but if you're by yourself is perfectly doable, every step is super clear and easy to follow. I've been using it for a few weeks now and so far I'm happy with it, everything works just fine and all the adjustable parts are easy to move so it can be used by me and my husband without struggling because of the readjustment every time. Also, I liked that includes an exercise guide for beginners, which I think is actually good and a nice extra.

    Workouts at home
    Our gym has been slow to reopen due to the pandemic (never mind the fact that I would also need to wear a mask while working out) and I needed to get my work outs in. This bench has certainly given me a great start to doing just that. My husband was able to put together the bench in about an hour with help from me on several occasions. The bench is used by both myself and my husband. I use it mainly with smaller weights/dumbbells and basic strength training, while my husband uses it for more chest presses and hardcore workouts. With the adjustable J-Hook bar hold, it is easy for us to do our rotations as the bar holds everything safe as we lift and secure the weight between sets. Since we didn't fully know what to expect and if the bench was going to work for us and our exercise needs, we initially started using it in the garage. After several weeks of use, we have decided that we need to convert one of our spare rooms into a mini gym. Because of the size of the bench, we think it will be perfect there. Once in a blue moon, especially after a workout, he mentions that he is happy that we got this bench as it is built to last (he has owned several benches in the past, and they have been shaky when you're lifting- not something you want when you have heavy weights above you). After evaluating this bench, we both think that it is perfect addition to our lives. Its sturdy and perfect for what it is. Huge fan so far! I was given this product for a reduced price in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

    Home gym must have
    Wonderful weight bench at a great price. This bench is very sturdy. Im glad I went with a well known brand. It adjusts to the perfect heights, the seat and leg extension part are comfortable. Now I just need to get myself to start using it regularly! Great addition to our home gym.

    Great work out for parents as well as my teenagers
    Since the pandemic started, Our family has not been working out like we used to. The boys have gotten more into gaming than exercising. So this summer we decided to invest in some fitness equipment to help get back into our fitness goals. And help my sons get into better shape to start their senior year. We decided to get our own equipment instead of paying for the gym membership to slowly get back into it. The gym memberships can be costly especially when we were always finding time to not go. So having this in my garage is a huge help to decrease the amount of excuses. This weight bench and added bar rack checks off everything that we needed to start lifting again. Easy to assemble with detailed instructions - I like that everything came labeled in the instruction manual as well as all the screws and bolts were labeled. It took about one hour and two people to put together. Well built - The bench is well built and sturdy enough to hold my 220 lb husband as well as my sons without issues. The boys like that the bench can also be adjusted to different heights so they can maximize their workouts. Brand name - I wanted a well established brand with a good reputation, which Weider has! Easy to use and came with some workout plans/paperwork- This bench is simple and self explanatory. It came with a sheet of paper that shows basic work outs as well as paperwork to write down your workouts. All in all, this was a fantastic purchase as well a wonderful customer service. They were very friendly and helpful. I was given this product for a reduced price in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

    Exactly what I have been searching for!
    For several months, my fiancé and I have been tossing around the idea of cutting our pricey gym memberships and purchasing equipment for a home gym. We have finally taken the plunge and purchased the first piece of our new mini-gym -- the Weider Legacy Standard Weight Bench. The Weider weight bench is exactly what we were searching for! It was priced affordably and came with excellent reviews. Right out of the box it was super easy to assemble and took under an hour. The directions are clearly laid out and very simple to follow. The bench is lightweight, which makes it very easy to move or reposition, yet incredibly sturdy. The bench is very comfortable and extremely versatile allowing 4 different positions based on your workout needs. Personally, my exercise routine focuses on my strengthening my legs, whereas my fiancé is more focused on his upper body. This bench allows us both to complete our strength-building exercises with just one piece of equipment! We were concerned that we would not find a bench that would suite both of our needs and body types but are so happy we discovered this bench! I'm 5'4", 120 pounds and my fiancé is 5'11", 245 pounds and the bench easily supports our separate workout routines. We have both used the bench for two weeks and it has worked seamlessly. An additional bonus that I really liked, was the exercise guidelines that were provided . The guidelines were simple to follow and identified the core muscles that were being affected. I am also looking into giving the iFit membership a try for new exercises to use with the bench! Overall, anyone looking for a quality product that is reasonably priced, easy to assemble, changes positions, and supports various exercise routines this is the product I/we would highly recommend. I was given this product for a reduced price in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

    Perfect weight bench!
    I absolutely love this weight bench! It was super easy to set up and thats coming from someone who always puts things on the wrong way! Its really comfortable as well. It dont feel crowded when Im lifting and the bar I got fits on there perfectly. The leg workout is nice as well, the last bench I had didnt have this option so being able to do legs is amazing. I got a few weights for my legs and they go on there no problem and its easy to use. It doesnt feel like it get stuck when your doing the lifts for your legs. Its not small by any means but it fits in my front room no problem and leaves me plenty of space for other things. The back goes up or down depending on how you want to sit which is nice as well. I like to do one arm lifts (Im bad with workout lingo) but Ill put my leg up on the bench and do my lifts that way and its nice just like how I use to do them at the gym!
