Rep needs to get better with inventory control. They show stuff as in-stock but then say the items are pre-ordered. I am waiting on a couple pieces of gear and have been for awhile.
@@avinashtyagi2 I've been browsing their racks for about two years. Not once have all the pieces I want been in stock. Granted I'm not checking everyday, but still...
As a "baller on a budget" your videos have helped tremendously with making sure I get the best bang for buck on home gym equipment since moving back to the US. Thank you so much.
I got the Titan Single Post Adjustable FID Bench after doing research on different options back in January 2021. It's served me well and is very sturdy. There were some flaws in the manufacturing/ tolerancing that caused some holes to not perfectly align and to have a slight wobble after assembly. The bench is also a bit too long in my opinion, so some overhead stuff is hard to do (5'9'').
I went with Rep AB 3100 after seeing a lot of positive reviews on UA-cam. I love the grippy pad and esthetic of the bench. But you definitely feel how light weight it is, and just doesn’t seem that high quality. Should’ve went 4100..
Bought a prime bench simply due to the lack of inventory of other companies during Covid, and I don’t regret it at all. It’s super solid. Bench press, hip thrusts, sit ups, curls it doesn’t move, wiggle, or anything at all.
hey u guys in usa so duno if this will ship to you but here in Europe we have Kelton is a polish company they make gym equipment very high quality and amazing price for 200 bucks u can get a killer bench that looks like costs 900
Yeah, that recommendation doesn't hold up now that the bench has increased in price. The Grind bench looks like the best budget one at this point, looks to be just as good as the Tru Grit and it's still only $100.
Really feel an adjustable bench should be the best overall...very few people will be happy for very long with just a flat bench. The AB4100 was a good choice. I was pleasantly surprised to see the Ironmaster in here, it's a very solid do-it-all bench. I really like mine, there's really nothing else out there that can do as much.
Do you think you could do a best all in one bench? For example like a bench that has incline, decline, leg attachments for extensions and leg curls, etc.
Why haven't you included the PowerTec FID Bench? I have the Ironmaster, but had I known about the PowerTec FID bench when I was purchasing I would have probably went that direction instead due to the attachments it has versus the Ironmaster.
I need a portable, preferably foldable squat/bench rack. I'm going to CDL school and afterwards I'm interested in long haul. I think it would be fully awesome to drive big rigs around the country with my dogs and a barbell. Also i have significant nerve damage and have hurt myself badly more than once, weights are critical to me functioning as a human. I have a lousy clean and want/ need to keep back squatting more than i can clean. After 7 years of dedication and fighting serious weakness from an injury my bench is slowly going up but progressively loading push-up might be a better way. I'm not sure that weight vest will keep doing the trick. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
Nice review! Would love to see the Torque XFIB mentioned sometime. It's outrageously expensive for a home gym, but it's half the cost of comparable commercial benches from Hammer Strength, Precor, Dynamic, etc.
Best reviews over years out there. WIth growing professionalism and reach, it would be great if you could also make a special with a far look over the big lake. Not all your recommendations are available in Europe which is often disappointing. Maybe you habe means to check out what’s hot and what’s not in Europe
You miseed the Fitness reality SuperMax adjustable bench. I am 6'2 and my favorite part of this budget bench is the long back pad 33.5". The flybird you show is only 30.1". I can fold min up to 9" deep stored vertically and I actually hang it on the wall on a safety arm hold. Plus the Fitness reality is only $149 and is on sale right now for $119. I mean it's not prefect on fit and finish, the adjustment notch are welded on which i have heard people have issues with and the foot holder is not padded and can be uncomfortable; but I have used it for over 5 years with no issues. It amazes me how many gym equipment youtubers are talking about the fly bird with Fitness reality being out there.
@@Gymgineer Of course! I guess you guys need to start sending out of bunch of benches (and let's be honest probably some checks) to get mentioned along with flybird by all the fitness equipment you tubers.
It always interesting just how fast these videos become obsoleted because companies like true grit double their price and then it invalidates the assessment of value. Also the amazon basics bench got replaces by what looks to be a much much lower quality bench.
We went with the Fitness Reality 2000 over the Firebird about a year ago. Any reason why you didn't consider it? It's held up pretty well. We just got our rack and plan on another bench. Maybe go up and get one of those REPs. Nice work as always. Love the content.
I commented something similar. I'm seeing a lot of fly bird reviewed by youtubers I'm thinking flybird is either paying for the reviews or just sending out more equipment to these guys for free. And fitness reality is Being left behind. IMO the fitness reality is the best budget bench for taller guys so many of the other budget benches cut prices on shipping and materials by making the back pad shorter.
*DO NOT even bother with ANY "Amazon" benches...* You WILL just be wasting your money. I just spent hours researching them, and even the very "best" ones, supposedly 1,000 pound ratings have TERRIBLE "quality". Cheap wood used, poor welding, and much more... So, I noticed that no "major" brands were on Amazon so I came to UA-cam and FINALLY found actual QUALITY MADE benches in this and a couple of other videos.
I am about to purchase the Power Block Adjustable Bench $285.00 Only because the Inspire SCS adjustable bench is $545ish. I had that bench but moved and left it with the home i sold. Now i am in Colorado without a bench. So Power Block good of bad? I own the FT2 inspire functional training system i bought again b/c i left the other one in the home i sold. Or do you think the REP AB-4100 is a better value and bench
Can you put the Thompson Fat Pad on any of these and what about the Keppi 5000? Saw comments about it, but can’t find the link to that video. Thanks for the help!
What about the ForceUSA benches? - I have one of those and it has leg extension, leg curl, decline and preacher as provided attachments, it's not perfect but it's very beefy and seems unparalleled in terms of functionality.
Hey Coop. I have been following you for over 5 years and love your reviews. I am in the bench market because my old bench got worn out. Was wondering why you don't review the synergee Adjustable Incline Bench. Really like how versatile it is but wanted to get some thoughts from you? Have you done any reviews on it anywhere?
Totally poop none of these benches have a built in preacher curl bench and led curl abilities so none of these benches offer the most versatile workout option for the amount of space.. home gym space is a premium what do you think everyone going to buy and own 100 different machines for a home gym? Abit out of touch with your viewing demographic
What do you think about the adjustable bench from major fitness. I'm planning on getting a power rack from them and wanted to see just how great their own bench is compared to other adjustable benches you would recommend?
I've had the Inspire SCS adjustable bench for a couple years and it's been great. Has some attachments, good quality, the upholstery is different but I like it.
I'll be showing my ignorance here - but I've been looking for the kind of bench used for bench press. With the attached rack for holding the barbell. I notice you don't seem to review these unless I've missed it - is there a reason for this? Do you have a recommendation?
Hey Coop, the Flybird in the video looks different than the one you linked? The one in the video has one solid back piece to rest on - the one in the link has two pieces - one longer one that says FlyBird on it and where your lower back would be is a smaller piece.. Just want to make sure that you would still recommend that before I make a purchase. Thanks!
@@GarageGymReviews yes atx makes greats things! I own a Kingsbox power rack. Its a Rogue-like manufacturer. But rep bench look realy good for the money.
It's hard to beat that. I bought it on 2019 and it looks just as good as when I bought it. I considered the ab5000 but it was never in stock. No regrets with it.
lucky for you these companies give you all this stuff so money is not a problem for you over 80K in that room thats awesome i'm not blessed like that i gotta take my broke ass to a flea market to get a bench
Would love a comparison of the PRx Profile Flat Folding Bench and the Rogue Fold Up Utility Bench. I don’t bench very often so my standard Rogue Flat bench takes up more space than it’s worth at times. Would like to know how the fold up benches compare. Thanks for all the great videos.

I got the iron master super bench pro. Best bet for a small gym. Small footprint. Very versatile
It is good for short people below 5'10.
As a "baller on a budget" your videos have helped tremendously with making sure I get the best bang for buck on home gym equipment since moving back to the US. Thank you so much.
The Tru Grit Flat Bench went from 100 dollars to 200 dollars. They doubles their price. Dont buy from them.
Do you even bench BRO!? Just kidding, amazed at how many benches were covered in such a short amount of time.

I’m late to the game. The $100 tru grit bench is now $200
You said you looked on Amazon for the most popular, highest rated budget benches, but somehow the Fitness Reality 2000 was excluded.
I'm Canadian, just wired money to Sorinex for their basic flat bench. How f____d am I? Is it over bros?

I have a commercial life fitness adjustable and a hoist decline ab bench. Im hoping this can replace them
Where’s the GetRX FIDAB-2? I think it stacks right up there with the top benches and combines full decline with ladder adjustment
Agreed
doesn't just line up, its better. less slop/movement in the bench and some cool features
hey u guys in usa so duno if this will ship to you but here in Europe we have Kelton is a polish company they make gym equipment very high quality and amazing price for 200 bucks u can get a killer bench that looks like costs 900
The first bench(crapola) was $200 reg price, so the rep ($209) would still be the better choice for best flat bench over all!!
Yeah, that recommendation doesn't hold up now that the bench has increased in price. The Grind bench looks like the best budget one at this point, looks to be just as good as the Tru Grit and it's still only $100.
Can you move your arms a little less?

Exactly. No adjust. No buy.
So true
Surprised Prime wasnt the winner
Yeah not having adjustability seems pretty silly. If you’re on a budget though it’s not a bad idea
I love the grippy texture of the rep benches. Have both the incline and flat bench from them.
You mention REP benches a lot, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen you review the REP AB-3000.
What about the AB-5100?
What is your pick for money not an issue best bench for tall people?
The trugrit is literally double the price now $200 😂
I passed on this strictly due to corporate greed. I understand inflation, but doubling your price isn’t inflation.
Thanks for the overview guys! Lots of options and something for everyone!
REP AB3000
I never buy anything for my home gym without consulting GGR. Coop is the utmost authority on home gym equipment and his expertise is unmatched
Also I have the grind bench as well as the grind squat rack. Both are great budget options and I’d recommend them both
Rep ab3000 FID.
optional Fat Pad.
Versatile!!
The Inspire SCS is an amazing versatile bench with Incline, Decline, Wheels, and attachments as extras: Preacher Curl & Leg Extension/Leg Curl.

Why not REP AB-3000 FID?
I just bought an Ironmaster Pro with the pull up bar, decline situp and dip bar attachments and I love it!
Nice review! Would love to see the Torque XFIB mentioned sometime. It's outrageously expensive for a home gym, but it's half the cost of comparable commercial benches from Hammer Strength, Precor, Dynamic, etc.
The tru grit bench is at best buy right now for $60 1:44
Im a big fan of my ironmaster bench, i got it back in 2017 for 300 bucks but noticed they cost a bit more now but it was a great value at the time
Rep AB 4100 in clear grind would be dope. Would buy one if offered.
Oooh, I could see that being popular!
COOP! We need a review of the Bells of Steel Buzz Saw 2.0 with attachments

Yep, great bench. The AB-4100 is just a better value. Can't go wrong with either though. - Coop
@@GarageGymReviews Makes sense to me. I was torn between the two when I was trying to buy. Thanks for the videos!
