Coop.. Doug called and said the Doug Score is trademarked and applies to all UA-cam metric derived ratings. Please review the benches quirks and features.
Holy poop - $1k for this?!?! I have a ton of stuff in my home gym and the most expensive single purchase was half that price... which is my mediocre, yet sturdy, power rack 😶
I have an atx bench that can handle a 1000 pounds+ looks like a tank, has great powder coating and is adjustable and is even sturdier than this wall mounted bench. for 300€.... Just look up ATX Warrior Multi Bench MBX-750.
It really doesn't look stable, lol. You're touching it lightly and it already wobbles... My main gripe with this bench compared to a movable bench is that this bench has a set position. A movable bench you can move forward or backward, positions can vary widely from exercise to exercise (strict press vs incline vs...) or even body structure. Better buy a good, movable utility bench for 600 bucks and spend the other 400 on some extra toys for your gym.
I gotta say, for someone that does this for a living and relies on fitness equipment company relationships to feed his family, Coop consistently gives a REAL review that even has a good amount of negatives. He's not roasting this bench by any means, but being very forthcoming with its flaws while also highlighting the strengths. It builds long lasting trust in all your content. It's refreshing in a UA-cam era where every review you see is someone praising every product they review as the best thing ever made, as they grovel to the company that sent it to them or paid them. I appreciate the pressure to give a good review when a company sent it to you and you rely on that relationship for your job. But, no product is perfect. You're a unique reviewer, Coop, in the best way possible.
1k!!! That’s almost half of what I paid for everything in my gym! I was looking at their flat bench today and wondering when they were gonna have an incline.
Honestly I don’t think Coop’s scores are consistent with his critique. The score seems generous and Coop sounds like an apologist for PRX. Also, if safety is the weakest score for a piece of weightlifting equipment…that’s a huge red flag. Hard pass.
@@Sean_WyattVanOwen he dismisses all the ironmaster equipment, when it's arguably the best stuff on the market, for both quality/value. Dude won't even mention their bench which is easily top 3 out there period. Coop is a schill for whoever sponsers him the most
I dont see how this thing is safe at all ive never seen a bench that shakes so much from side to side not to mention even lifts off the ground like that, That and the fact that the metal or steal or what ever it is made of is very thin and the legs on the front connected with just 2 small bolts on each side, Very hard pass i can already see some one who lifts very heavy on this will bend it easily
@@ImmortallLLegend nobody who "lifts heavy" is using equipment like this. They're using Rogue, Sorinex (maybe), EliteFTS, Ghost Strong, etc. This type of shit is for women and people who don't really know how to lift.
If you wanted an adjustable bench that stores easily, why wouldn't you spend half this price and get a Rep AB5200 that is sturdy as hell and stores vertically? Also it doesn't have to remain attached to the wall. Also, there's no way that thing has 1,000# rating like Coop mentioned. Coop, I love ya buddy, but this feels like you sold out to PRX a little.
Coop, love your videos and have been watching for years. This is the first time I ever noticed you doing this, I just could not unhear the excessive use of the word, “like”. It’s a verbal crutch many people have. It took some conscious effort on my part to get over its use personally!
Hey coop thanks for keeping up with all the great video's. Would be great for you to do a review on the new rogue adjustable bench 3.0. bench looks sick and much more affordable too!
The setup itself is neat with the folding rack and wall mounted folding bench for those who have small spaces.. the cost however isn't justified at all for both, and there are many solid alternatives for folding squat/power racks and you can get one of those benches that you can hang to the wall or store standing and you are all set... plus I think Coop was being generous in praising its stability when it didn't look particularly stable, may not be terrible, but not really standing out for stability
Thanks for all the info Coop. Been super helpful in rebuilding my home gym. From budget to better. Used the PRX affiliate link on your website and was shocked when a discount was auto applied. Wasn’t expecting that but was a decent amount for some new gym clothes. Much appreciated!
It’s sharp no question and I dig that clean flush look, but I just don’t like the idea of having to repair holes in my wall any time I want to switch up my layout that involves moving my rack.
@@leskobrandon9872 we can understand that! Believe us, we've gotten pretty good at hole repair work as we move things around in our consult/gym areas 😅

Many questions here. Why is Coop reviewing a "prototype" and not waiting for the actual retail version of this bench to review? The public doesn't have access to prototypes and important product features may change by the time it hits market (judging by how poorly this bench appeared, I hope it gets completely overhauled). Also--who wants a folding bench that can't move anywhere and takes up more room than a normal bench? Also who wants to bolt a bench into their wall studs? I literally don't know why someone would want a folding bench when most "free" benches could store vertically. Finally, the cost. Who in their right mind is going to pay a grand for this thing? If this is an indication of PRx's products, they won't be in business for long.
agreed, it's clear that Coop is being paid to do this review. This bench looks like absolute shit. Claims multiple times it's a sturdy and "premium" bench, and it's rattling and moving like a bush during a tornado.
This product feels like an answer to a problem no one has Also, you can't just say it's one of the more stable bench on the market 10 seconds before showing how unstable it is
There is a level of tolerance in the brackets which allows the unit to slide/adjust. When you're seated on the bench, it is very stable. Thanks for checking it out!
I really like the prx products but when I started doing the cost/value breakdown I decided the ability to tuck against the wall wasn't worth that premium price tag PRX wants. Got a rep pr4000 for Comparable pricing and what I consider to be way more versatile
An extra half yard from the wall is EXTREMELY expensive. When there are possible finger amputation risks (max effort bench day!!) you can’t allow kids to use it unsupervised around it. I understand they tried but damn.
I have an ATX Warrior Multi Bench MBX-750. It can easily handle 1000+ pounds if need be. It's solid as a concrete bolted down twelve story building. Is adjustable, has weels for easy manouverability, thick steel and powder coating. cost was 330€. NEW I see this flimsy ass looking ass bench that still wobbles even though it's bolted to the damn wall. For almost 1k?????
Just my opinion, but that is a really bad design. There are a few little things that I don't care for, but the main thing is that the seat slides back leaving the frame exposed between your legs. Even if it wasn't an accident waiting to happen, it would still be awkward af. Did Coop say this was 10 years in the making?!?😳 I'd say back to the drawing board, fellas.
I'm 61 and have a few basic things..plates, dumbbells, bench, straight bar, trap bar , cable pull down and I have a 5'10 210lbs frame . One doesn't need all of this expensive crap to put on muscle.
Are people really so pressed for space that with a wall mounted rack, they can't store a bench, even one with upright storage? Not to mention, not everyone will set their bench up the same relative to the rack. Seems gimmicky and unnecessary. Just get a regular top quality incline bench...
With our racks, we have found that people do appreciate the space saving abilities, and ever since we released our folding flat bench, customers have been calling for an incline option! Just trying to give the people what they want 😅
Haven't watched the vid yet, just a few seconds.....this product is going to sell like hot cakes!. Yes to the product and ofcourse to Coops top vids. 👍
I love my prx pro rack, but this is too high for me. 400 to 500 is my limit. You can get a double j hook and wall mount a gold gym bench that inclines and declines ...and allows you to use it for lat pull downs on a pully for $100. This screams Mr. Wonderful influence to respond to the market request. It will probably do well though, if it goes on deep sale I would dabble.
This only makes sense for someone that is extremely space limited, already has the PRX folding rack, and doesn't care about money. This is less versatile than a standalone incline bench since it can't be moved anywhere. It seems to be harder to use than other competitors products. And it is way more expensive. Even if you own a PRX folding rack, just buy a regular incline bench that stores upright. The only downside is the extra few inches it would stick out from the wall. PRX seems to really overvalue their products. From reviews they seem to be pretty decent quality but they are charging premium+ prices.
@@JBS7551 i actually think the idea is solid. People value space and stored aesthetics when you're making a setup e.g. in your living room. They just need to improve the design a bit and cut a bit off the price.
Getrxd poster throughout the video and you didn't mention their adjustable bench?! :) Great job and you're on your way to being a freelance fitness equipment design consultant! Be safe while moving...to Idaho so I can help you unload ;)
Please try and get a hold of one of The Bullbar pull-up things. Looks sketchy on one hand but might be a space answer on the other if it is build quality to match price. Thanks!
Hey Coop, don't know if you'll be able to see this, but did you have any attachment suggestions for pulldown cables that can attach to these folding squat rack products? The wall racks are great for like squats and bench press, but was there any attachment that can be put on them to make them pulldown cable machines for triceps and lats? Thanks and always a fan!
Cool I’ll buy the squat rack and bench , now how do I pay prx to install the whole thing , cause there is no way I’m gonna be looking for studs trashing my drywall to find them
Absolutely ridiculous price. This bench looks cheaper in quality than some benches half that price. The vinyl looks cheap and glossy and that bench logo needs to go. The metal edge at the end of the bench will get annoying very fast. I would rate this bench a 4 out of 10. The main attraction is the storage and incline positions. I can't think of anything else positive about this bench.
I think it just lacks versatility as well. Often for rows and shoulder work, you’re chest down on the incline, with your head hanging over the top. This just doesn’t allow for that. It also doesn’t let you pull the bench out if you want it for step ups with a bar on your back, etc. It would be great if it weren’t permanently fixed to the wall, but could snap in and out.
We did look at this when testing, and obviously it is bolted to the wall, but when the rack is folded up, one can still perform the majority of movements that one could perform on a free standing unit. Yes, we know there are some that you cannot.
I have that bench and it's amazing. Now I want to change my rack for a Rogue one, the RM4 Monster Rack. Will this bench work great with that rack? With my foldable one works great
Coop can you do a roundup on urethane bumper plates? Lu Xiao Jun, American Barbell v1 and v2, Rogue and Titan? Which is the best in durability? Are they actually all from the same factory?
I though about this setup. Instead I think it’s better to have a mirror in front of the rack and invest in a decline/incline bench. Also better on price but losing on space
Which is why we should all be grateful for beta adopters. The first cell phones were several thousand, huge, dropped calls constantly and only made calls.
Hey Coop! Prior to this benches release, I was dead set on investing in a prime fitness adjustable bench per your recommendation. With all the attachments it's about the same price as this bench although I love how easy this would be to use with the PRX rack. If your main rack was PRX, which bench would you buy if price is not considered?
One thing i tell people who always want to put the weights in the basement... a room... etc.. if you hide it youll never use it. I turned my living room into a gym. Literally and i use it 7 days a week .......
It's the quality of life that justifies the price for me. Not having to adjust and readjust the placement of your bench so it's perfectly aligned with the rack for each angle is so money! I am very disappointed in the design critiques though :( coop is definitely right it looks like there is a lot of things PRX could've done to really knock this out of the park, especially at this price point. That being said, I still pre-ordered!
@@prxperformance you guys rock, thank you! Do you think there will be any minor changes from Coop's suggestions on the final product vs the prototype he reviewed?
@@Nolannn3434 We already addressed and implemented some items like the rounded seat pad, and padding between the metal/wall! As far as anything being "shaky', there does need to a level of tolerance there for the bench to adjust/incline. Hope that helps!
Coop, I don't understand your scoring system. The value rating on this bench should be completely in the toilet. Is a 6/10 supposed to mean it's better than average value or equivalent to a D-? Because it certainly sounds like if 5 is average, it's value should be about a 0.5.
Why do Americans care so much that things are made in the USA? American products aren't exactly known for their reliability or quality particularly compared to German or Japanese products.
You know it has to be overpriced for Coop to call it expensive. One of your most thorough reviews to date Coop, love the Coop Score addition!
👊
Definitely well done on the review! We're super proud of all the work that went into being able to get this new bench launched!

Absolutely ridiculous price. This bench looks cheaper in quality than some benches half that price. The vinyl looks cheap and glossy and that bench logo needs to go. The metal edge at the end of the bench will get annoying very fast. I would rate this bench a 4 out of 10. The main attraction is the storage and incline positions. I can't think of anything else positive about this bench.
Yeah, the rail system is clever to accomodate for the rack being so close to wall but to not be able to get your legs in front would drive me nuts
I think they should up the price and quality and market to small commercial facilities like my apartment complex.
It should named the CPS score: "Coop for President Score
😂
Not to be confused with Child Protective Services.
I think it just lacks versatility as well. Often for rows and shoulder work, you’re chest down on the incline, with your head hanging over the top. This just doesn’t allow for that. It also doesn’t let you pull the bench out if you want it for step ups with a bar on your back, etc. It would be great if it weren’t permanently fixed to the wall, but could snap in and out.
We did look at this when testing, and obviously it is bolted to the wall, but when the rack is folded up, one can still perform the majority of movements that one could perform on a free standing unit. Yes, we know there are some that you cannot.
@@prxperformance thanks for the thoughtful response! The simple act of folding up the rack to create space does open up a lot of possibilities.
I have that bench and it's amazing. Now I want to change my rack for a Rogue one, the RM4 Monster Rack. Will this bench work great with that rack? With my foldable one works great
Innovation at its finest baby!
👍
@@GarageGymReviews bro you tryna check out the channel and shoot me a comment on my garage gym tour I posted?
LOL, more crap. Is it going to make you bigger ? No , just makes your wallet smaller.
Now I remembered - Master Ken
Coop can you do a roundup on urethane bumper plates? Lu Xiao Jun, American Barbell v1 and v2, Rogue and Titan? Which is the best in durability? Are they actually all from the same factory?
With a review like that, no wonder you are nearly hitting 300k subs..
Am I missing something here, when talking about safty (pardon) the pun but where are the safety's when doing bench press for example. 🤔
I though about this setup. Instead I think it’s better to have a mirror in front of the rack and invest in a decline/incline bench. Also better on price but losing on space
Could you do a review on the rogue 3.0 adjustable!!!
Waiting for mine to come in but wanna see what you think ! Thanks in advance!!
Double the price of my foldable Monster Rogue rack!!
Beyond sticker shock for that!
$1k means your paying for the R&D of the product instead of the actual product itself...
Which is why we should all be grateful for beta adopters. The first cell phones were several thousand, huge, dropped calls constantly and only made calls.
Exactly they're paying off their staff for the decade of work 🤣🤣🤣 it may drop within the next 3-5 years
It's not a bad thing, they aren't a huge company. If you can afford it, go for it
Hey Coop! Prior to this benches release, I was dead set on investing in a prime fitness adjustable bench per your recommendation. With all the attachments it's about the same price as this bench although I love how easy this would be to use with the PRX rack. If your main rack was PRX, which bench would you buy if price is not considered?
Check out rep fitness for benches. Best on the market.
Looking for a bench and a mount to put on my wall in my garage any suggestions that won't be crazy expensive?
Seriously not spending 1k on a bench.
Is that a LivePro barbell in the intro?? Can we please get a review???
Should do a vid about garage door insulation
One thing i tell people who always want to put the weights in the basement... a room... etc.. if you hide it youll never use it. I turned my living room into a gym. Literally and i use it 7 days a week .......
Can you do a budget review of the hulkfit folding cage?
Was considering this product or one of their wall mounted products. Can this be mounted to a brick/cinder block garage wall?
Need a GGR logo on the moon. Algo gang 📈
👊
I've been eyeing this but I want a lat pull attachment that isn't a simple pulley :(
It's a new product, it's priced high to see if it sells high. Don't be the guy that preorders this. Year down the line it'll be cheaper.
I thought that was a good price at first, that's when I thought it was with the rack too.
Great concept. It is obviously super wobbly which is not good if you're lifting heavy. If they fix that this might be something I'd buy.
There does need to be a level of tolerance for the bench to slide from position to position. When you're sitting on the bench, it is hardly wobbly 👍
I don’t think prx watched the same video we all did. $1k for this is comical. Go with a rep fitness bench dude.
they might sell what, 50 units?
That’s 50 grand. What do you think a run of 50 would cost to produce? Interesting questions.
I guess we will wait and see, it's been off to a great start!
@@prxperformance LOL
Thumbs up for judge judy, lol'd.
😁
Same
Just too pricey. Plus it needs the improvements like Coop said. Rather save 500$ and just store a bench upright in a corner somewhere.
It's the quality of life that justifies the price for me. Not having to adjust and readjust the placement of your bench so it's perfectly aligned with the rack for each angle is so money! I am very disappointed in the design critiques though :( coop is definitely right it looks like there is a lot of things PRX could've done to really knock this out of the park, especially at this price point. That being said, I still pre-ordered!
Appreciate you! We put a lot of work into this bench!
@@prxperformance you guys rock, thank you! Do you think there will be any minor changes from Coop's suggestions on the final product vs the prototype he reviewed?
@@Nolannn3434 We already addressed and implemented some items like the rounded seat pad, and padding between the metal/wall! As far as anything being "shaky', there does need to a level of tolerance there for the bench to adjust/incline. Hope that helps!
@@prxperformance awesome, thank you so much!
You got ripped off Nolan
Here’s the TLDR: it’s $1010
Coop: is that too much?
Everyone: Yes.
I’d actually choose Titian fitness products over this
does PRX ship to the EU?
We gotta do something about these prices. Inflation is outpacing any increase in citizen pay.
Yeah that price is awful. Imma pass on this one.
I see the main thing is how it stores.... better off getting REP AB-5200... which stores upright for 1/2 the price
Nothing against wall mounted not sure if I'd want this but that's just me.
Coop, I don't understand your scoring system. The value rating on this bench should be completely in the toilet. Is a 6/10 supposed to mean it's better than average value or equivalent to a D-? Because it certainly sounds like if 5 is average, it's value should be about a 0.5.
Why do Americans care so much that things are made in the USA? American products aren't exactly known for their reliability or quality particularly compared to German or Japanese products.
