Weight Benches

A bench earns its keep across nearly every barbell and dumbbell exercise you'll do — flat and incline pressing, seated curls, step-ups, isolation work — so it's worth choosing one that adjusts to the angles and load you actually train at, not just whatever's cheapest. We carry five benches across three brands, from $159.95 up to $997.

The Synergee Preacher Curl Bench ($159.95) is purpose-built for isolation arm work rather than general pressing, with a 7-height adjustable seat and armrest instead of a flat/incline pad. For general use, the Synergee Adjustable Incline Decline Bench ($199.95) covers 14 positions from decline through incline, and the Synergee Adjustable Wing Back Bench ($299.95) adds wider back padding aimed specifically at dumbbell and barbell pressing.

Step up in load capacity and you're in Major Fitness PLT01 territory ($719.99) — rated to 1,300 lb and built to pair with a Smith machine or power rack for heavier barbell work — or the AVF Dynamic Adjustable Bench ($997), Athletic Vision Fitness' commercial-grade option if the bench needs to survive daily multi-user gym use rather than occasional home sessions.

A note if you're shopping by brand: XMARK doesn't currently make a bench in our lineup. If you're pairing an XMARK rack with a bench, you'll need to buy the bench from one of the other three brands here — there's no XMARK-branded option to match it with yet.

What to check before buying: your rack or Smith machine's J-hook height range against the bench you pick (most flat/adjustable benches clear a standard power rack's hooks, but it's worth confirming on taller commercial racks), and whether you need the bench to fold flat for storage — none of the five here are foldable, so plan floor space for whichever one you choose.

Good fit if you want a dedicated bench for pressing, incline work, or arm isolation to pair with a rack, Smith machine, or dumbbells you already own.
