XMark Fitness Commercial Rated Adjustable Weight Bench
The XMark Fitness Commercial Rated Adjustable Dumbbell Weight Bench is a really great bench for gyms that might be tight on space. But just because the dimensions are a bit smaller, don’t be fooled into thinking that this isn’t a heavy-duty bench that will help you get great workouts in.
This bench offers a change from other benches on this list, as it has individual levers in place that will allow you to position the bench at different angles.
One thing that could be improved is the fact that the setting area doesn’t offer as many adjustable positions as other benches, making for awkward feeling positions during certain exercises.
Nonetheless, for a few hundred dollars less than the preceding two benches, it’s a good buy and a quality bench that can handle 1500 pounds in weight capacity and it is built to last. See our full review here
