I bought this bench for about $140 on Amazon. Very happy with it so far. Was worried about it not being big enough for someone 6ft tall but that hasn't been an issue for me. If you twist my arm and I had to complain about anything I'd say it sits just a little high off the ground. Maybe an inch lower would be better.
It should work as long as you find a good anchor point. I don't use resistance bands with the bench but it will work if you can find a good spot to attach it.
The video we've all been waiting for! Thanks so much for this. Seems like a good basic bench despite the cons. And honestly, most people are getting this for a little pump and portability. If you're looking to add this as part of an actual home gym, you probably don't care for portability and should consider something else.
Yes, if you have a full garage gym, i'd go with the FitnessReality Bench as it supports more weight for benching with a bar. My small closet needs a smaller form factor though :)
I just got mine for 160+ on their site, it's 190 but they have a 30% code for first time buyers. I'm just starting off so this is fine for me & I don't like paying for gyms when I can just get my own equipment.
Excellent review mate. Im looking at getting this one over the others ive seen for my £120 budget. Was looking at the jx bench too. One pro having the bench high is those dumbell rows. Also can you stop the wobble having on a flat floor (not carpet)?
Yeah it doesn't wobble so much, but if you are doing something like hip thrusts I recommend putting it up against a wall so it doesn't slide/fall over.
This bench is only ok if you are 5'8 I am 5'9 and my head is stilll not fully on the backrest when it is in any of the upright positions putting too much strain on neck. I returned and bought the Oosofit on Amazon amazing quality easy adjusts and soft padding good for 6'4" easy, with its removable head rest and it is very well made with no wobble even on hard floor. I really do not now how these benches are a top seller.
Not sure how you are sitting on it as I'm taller than you and my head isn't over it. I'd say anyone 6'2" or less can use this without issue. It can be wobbly though for some exercises like the hip thrust as I cover in the video.
Man this is really what I need for my home gym setup I have a few equipment but what what i need now is a bench press since i dont have a big enough space I'm looking to get a incline bench rather..... But I cant get one brand new .And I been looking all over one which I could buy second hand off someone but no luck ...
You can press from the floor as well. If you need angled exercises it definitely helps, but you can also find ways around it which I'm trying to do as well for my programming to help reduce cost overall. Good supplemental equipment for dumbbells though.
@@GamerBody But I got this other dumbbell bench which I got my eye on it's a 2 in 1 bench so It can act as an sit up bench so it can act as an decline bench and a incline bench it cost under 100 dollars I'm saving up for it
It depends. Of you want one that holds a bit more weight and is lower to the ground, the fitness reality bench is better. If you want a bench that stores easier and is more maneuverable but is higher off the ground, the Flybird is the way to go. Personally I am sticking with Flybird bit I'll have a video of what I a keeping after 2020 coming up soon :)
It can stand upright on its own. However I do separate the feet slightly because if they are all the way together it can potentially fall over. You don't need to separate them much, bust enough so that it has a little more stability overall.
I noticed you simulated a standing single arm preacher curl. Have you ever declined the bench and inclined the seat to do seated preachers? Just wondering.
@@GamerBody Maybe for quality sure. But against name brands (Hoist, Rogue) it's a steal. for $160 you get what you pay for. Mine showed up yesterday, the height is abnormal but I'm 6'1" so it's fine. I'd say its best qualities are no assembly required and it's small storage footprint. Good review.
Great video! so I'm 5'6 and 150 pounds and am deciding the firebirds. One is 16 inch seat off ground and the other is 21 inch off ground. Now my logic tells me I'm short so the 16 inch seat is fine....but Im a big fan of the bent over incline rows work out that you do at 2:06 in the video. Would you say the 16 inch seat would be too close to the ground for that specific work out? my dumb bells would touch the ground at that point when im hunched over right?
Hmm I think it would depend on your arm length. I incline my bench slightly to help keep them from touching but without actually testing it would be hard to know.
@@GamerBody I JUST GOT THIS AND IM RETURNING IT IMMEDIATELY. U REALLY DIDNT MENTION ENOUGH HOW THE 21 INCH HEIGHT OF THE SEAT MAKES THE DECLINE UNBEARABLE. T HIS ITEM IS PURE TRASH. A 21 INCH SEAT IS JUST A HEADACHE. DECLINE HURTS MY BACK AT THAT SEAT HEIGHT AND I CANT STABILIZE MY FEET WHEN DOING DUMB BELL CURLS. AWFUL PRODUCT.
I do state it as a con in the video multiple times. It works for me at 5'11" bit won't work for people shorter. Did you watch the entire video or skip that con?
it would work for your height i’m shorter and i find it just fine... i did have to get used to the height of the bench but it’s not that big of a dealbreaker
Eh I'd go for something lower to the ground. Take a look at the Fitness Reality bench. I have an older review. It doesn't fold as well, but works great otherwise.
I find the location of the leg holders puts a lot of strain in lower back when hooking my feet in and lowering to the decline sit up starting position. Is there another way I should be doing this. Lot of decline benches have feet holds at the top and I think that allows for your back to not hyper extend when getting into position.
I personally don't decline the bench or use the leg holders. I just keep my feet flat on the ground and do flat or incline exercises. That is just me, but not sure if anyone else has more experience with other decline exercises who can share.
so this one's a little higher off the ground? I wanna do step ups on it. You think it'll be a bit to high for that? I'm also around 6-6"1 feet tall. Does this support my height? In the description it mentions it covers u pto 6"2 but just wanna make sure from you
You are going to be at the top of the range for height. I wouldn't do step ups on it as it isnt stable enough for that, and also a bit tall. I would only use it if you are secure laying on it, or have it up against a wall. I hope that helps.
@@GamerBody I might order it this week to try it. If I do I’ll reply to let you know the height (I asked the question on the Amazon page but no responses yet)
Someone ended up answering that it’s 21 inches “floor to pad”, so I’m thinking it’s the same..I suspect it might be the same exact model as yours despite it saying ‘2021 version’. I ended up ordering it (used your link, hopefully it worked) and it arrives Monday so will let you know how it is and if I notice any differences. I was super torn between this and the Fitness Reality 2000 (don’t think you’ve tested that model yet) but ended up picking this because it folds better, even though it’s not as sturdy, and likely a little too tall. Free returns so if I hate it I’ll just swap for the 2000. Home Gym Reviews did a comparison (title is ‘Best bench under $200’) of the 2000 and Flybird and he prefers the 2000 overall.
It depends. If I had to do one for the rest of my life and not the other, dips, but both have their place in a training program. Dips have more tricep activation and hit the lower chest more.
Do you feel safe with the locking mechanism esp when lifting heavy? Im 220lbs and want to use this to bench 150 to 250 lbs. Will this stay stable and not unlock on me sending me for a ride?
It says it can support up to 620 lbs. While I have not come close to that, if you can lift a lot of weight (especially a barbell setup) I would watch out. Dumbbells should be fine though.
Bro thank u for the vid.. I might buy it now!... but definitely not for the extreme locking out of your elbows during incline press... and plz don't go down so far.. keep the 90 deg and concentrate on chest
Don't worry I'm under control. 50 isn't a lot of weight for me and I have the range of motion I need. I lock out but keep tension I'm the muscles which is fine so no worries.
Might be close to it being too high off the ground, but won't know for sure. Also, drop decline bench press. No point in that exercise whatsoever over a standard or incline bench press.
Wow! Were you doing them fast? I make sure only the core is moving and to not pull with my arms (as much as possible). Im 5'11" about 180 lbs and it hasn't broken yet. If you got on Amazon see if you can return it.
I took a look, that waist pad isn't going to change anything (seems pretty gimmicky to me) and it has the one thing I hate, the seat angle selector. That one was on the other Flybird and is terrible! The pin selector is far better on this brand. It also only holds 500 lbs where this one says it can hold 620 lbs. I'd personally go with this one over the other, but my main issue with this one is the seat height is 21" which is just slightly high for me at 5'11"
@@GamerBody Are you talking about the specific angles to which it pauses at (the 7 degree difference or so) that makes this one better? Or is it specifically the fact that this one uses pin selector compared to the drop down stopper? Thanks!
The pin selector. Made a huge difference when I was comparing the smaller Flybird bench not long ago. The pin selector is fast and feels more secure when I was testing. I returned the other one very quickly.
I used mine this morning with two 69 lbs dumbbells for bench press, chest supported row, and other exercises and no issues. For me it has been great, but I have seen others break it. I wonder if they don't out in the pin properly.
@@GamerBody You are right, the pin helped with it being super sturdy! I almost went with bowflex 5.1s but it was expensive and there's a gap! Now i also bought bowflex 552 but I need a new adjustable dumbbell that can reach 80 pounds :(
Another user just wrote saying Core is making an 80lbs version releasing the end of this year so that is exciting. There is another brand that have it and use the exact same locking system but the dumbbells are almost $800.
I am also looking at the same two benches but since we are all tall the Fitness reality 1000 is slightly longer and i think i wont like the high position of this flybird but it is cheaper tho.
@@hidde8232 I returned my flybird - was small, not as well built & not very sturdy. Love the fitness reality 1000 - worth the extra money. If you are looking for a smaller bench which you can store and fold easily then the flybird may make sense.
Which Flybird bench did you buy? If it is the Adjustable Weight bench, that one is pretty big, bit the other versions are much smaller. Regardless, the Fitness Reality bench is great.
@@abdullahalsultan4652 hmm I normally use all 50 lbs when lifting and it doesn't move except for hip thrusts. I also make sure I stabilize my body as well in the lifts so it might be how your are putting your body weight on the bench itself. While it is not the sturdiest bench, I haven't had it fall over yet for normal exercises.
It should work but make sure you can control yourself as it could be somewhat wobbly. If you are turning side to side at all I can see it falling over.
@@GamerBody That is a very good point! For some reason the RitFit “looks” sturdier even tho it has a lesser max weight capacity. A comparison between both would be great ! Would love to hear your POV!
I think you are right on the cusp, but most likely will be an issue on any bench. I'd try it and just return if it doesn't work for you. It's just too big at 5'11" for me, but not sure if your height isn't too tall.
@@GamerBody yea that’s my only concern, not sure if i’ll be able to tie than band far enough to provide actual resistance, i appreciate the quick response tho!
@@GamerBody thanks man! i ended up going with the other flybird bench just because the cost and the fact that it’s a bit longer, hopefully it’ll come in the mail soon🙏🏽
The only others I've use are powerblocks and Yes4All. I'd go Yes4All only because I use them for bodyweight training in a backpack. The powerblocks are great otherwise. I can't say anything for other brands I have not tried.
Do not buy it is terrible quality very unstable and too short if you are over 5' 8" it folds up really well though. I was very disappointed buy the Oosofit on Amazon, my bro has the JX fitness the easy adjust one and that is very good too the seat is not as stable as mine though.
@@GamerBody Hi definitely not spam I found if the bench is at 30 deg and seat angled up which pushes you further up the bench my head was not supported it all its OK if you always keep the seat flat but for me then its uncomfortable, just seems very flimsy. The one I bought is by oosofit and I have been very impressed so far it gets 5 stars too my brother has the Decathlon bench 900 which is very good but the seat is only supported on one side so over time it has bent to one side which is a shame.
Thanks, I'll take a look at your brand and see if it will be a good comparison to the Flybird. I angle mine for incline bench and skull crushers but my head doesn't go over the back rest and I'm 5'11". Interesting that yours did when using it.
Yeah the seat needs to be about 3 inches lower but still works for me and I'm 5'11". I hope they make a new model exactly like this just lower to the ground

literally not "costly". Low end of other benches for sure. Seems like a steal if your review is reliable.

It should work but make sure you can control yourself as it could be somewhat wobbly. If you are turning side to side at all I can see it falling over.

Great bench can i use resistance bands with this bench? Thank u
I you have an anchor point you can use them. Do you have a specific exercise you are looking to do with it?
I have this bench it’s very wobbly and there are much better on the market
Yeah of the benches I have tested this one has the greatest potential to fall over.
I’m 6ft6 is this bench ok for me?
I think you are right on the cusp, but most likely will be an issue on any bench. I'd try it and just return if it doesn't work for you. It's just too big at 5'11" for me, but not sure if your height isn't too tall.
This came mostly assembled, correct?
Yup, only had to add a few things like the feet and ankles attachments. Pretty easy.
@@GamerBody cool. Thanks
I bought it and returned it. Felt wonky and unstable.
Thanks for your thoughts! Works well for my setup now, but as I just moved I wonder how it will be on the new rug in my office.
could i do band presses w this?
I don't see why not. I personally don't but of you can anchor them right it will be the same as any other bench
@@GamerBody yea that’s my only concern, not sure if i’ll be able to tie than band far enough to provide actual resistance, i appreciate the quick response tho!
The seat is higher than most at 21" so if you normally tie it down it should work better than a standard bench.
@@GamerBody thanks man! i ended up going with the other flybird bench just because the cost and the fact that it’s a bit longer, hopefully it’ll come in the mail soon🙏🏽
Nice, let me know what you think of that one.
Mine makes noises when I use it :/
That's weird. Are you doing something where you are moving on it? Or does it make noises for only some exercises and not others?
@@GamerBody the seat where you put a pin near the foam goes up and down and makes clanking noises when I do situps
Ah yeah I could see that. Mines not too bad but I guess it depends how much it gets on your nerves.
What dumbbells are those?
Core Fitness Adjustable Dumbbells. There is a link for them in the description.
@@GamerBody so uhh I just checked and these dumbbells don’t ship out of the United States, what other adjustable dumbbell do you recommend
The only others I've use are powerblocks and Yes4All. I'd go Yes4All only because I use them for bodyweight training in a backpack. The powerblocks are great otherwise. I can't say anything for other brands I have not tried.
How tall are you ?
5'11"
My bench collapsed on me when I was flat benching 95lb dumbells. I had it for a little over a month. It's supposed to hold 650+Lbs but it doesn't.
Did you have the pin selector in it?
@@GamerBody Yep, the leg bent where I low body goes and the bent collapsed with 95lb dumbells in my hand.
Hmm how heavy are you? I feel like I don't come close to breaking the bench so I'm surprised. Maybe a bad build for yours?
@@GamerBody I am about 200lbs may 225. No where near the limit though.
That's unfortunate. I'd reach out to support and see what they can do.
I just spent 100$ on this bench
2:30 This guy fucks
Superhero glutes
I'm 6'4 and weary i'll be too tall for this ....
Head space might cut it close, but the seat height will probably be perfect for you (a bit too high for me)
@@GamerBody thank you for the very quick reply
How’s this bench still? Still happy with it? Cheers bro
Just made a new review. Still going strong!
Do not buy it is terrible quality very unstable and too short if you are over 5' 8" it folds up really well though. I was very disappointed buy the Oosofit on Amazon, my bro has the JX fitness the easy adjust one and that is very good too the seat is not as stable as mine though.
This isn't the oosoft bench...I'm. Very confused on this comment because it doesn't appear to be for the same branch at all...possible spam?
@@GamerBody Hi definitely not spam I found if the bench is at 30 deg and seat angled up which pushes you further up the bench my head was not supported it all its OK if you always keep the seat flat but for me then its uncomfortable, just seems very flimsy. The one I bought is by oosofit and I have been very impressed so far it gets 5 stars too my brother has the Decathlon bench 900 which is very good but the seat is only supported on one side so over time it has bent to one side which is a shame.
Thanks, I'll take a look at your brand and see if it will be a good comparison to the Flybird. I angle mine for incline bench and skull crushers but my head doesn't go over the back rest and I'm 5'11". Interesting that yours did when using it.
I got one for $170.00
Not too bad.
Would you ever dare to use this bench with a barbell with more than 100 pounds? Seriously?
Yes. I'd probably go as high as 250 before I started questioning the bench.
@@GamerBody Ok, IMHO I wouldn`t even think about it..just by looking at your vid and considering how wobbly and instable the bench looks.. ;-)
Doesn't feel unstable to me, just to high off the ground. I hope they make one a few inches shorter in the future as that would be perfect.
@@GamerBody Ok, thanks for your views
tbh this bench was too high, im 5'10 I ended up selling it
Yeah the seat needs to be about 3 inches lower but still works for me and I'm 5'11". I hope they make a new model exactly like this just lower to the ground
@@GamerBody yeah that’s what I’m saying it works, but only for chest it’s a bit iffy
It doesn't look strong.
Says it can hold up to 620lbs. I haven't had any issues but my dumbbells only go up to 50 lbs each.
@@GamerBody It just looks thin as compared to what I see in gyms. It could be a better stronger material/alloy though.
Might now be as strong as a gym one. If you use a normal barbell at home I'd probably go with another brand. This one works well for dumbbells though.
@@GamerBody I am planning to just get Merax Deluxe 71.5 Pounds Adjustable Dial Dumbbell so I think this bench should be fine.
Yeah that should work just fine. I guess it depends what your weight is but if you are 500lbs or less you should be all set.
Awful bench.
How so? I like it quite a lot.
