Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight does a weight bench need to support?

Calculate your body weight plus the training weight with reserve. For most home trainers, a load capacity of 250 to 300 kg is sufficient; gym benches like ATX Warrior or RealLeader are significantly higher.

Are there any used weight benches available?

Yes, regularly. Studio benches from Keiser or Matrix are mechanically simple and last for decades – bought used, you get professional quality for the price of a new home bench.

Is an adjustable weight bench worth it for beginners?

Yes, because with an adjustable bench you cover all angles and don't need to buy more equipment later. Anyone who only wants to do bench presses is better off with a flat bench.
