Amazon.com Product Description
Tired of heading to the gym for weight workouts? Turn to the Power Pro Olympic bench from Phoenix Health & Fitness, a full Olympic-size bench that offers incline, decline, and flat bench positions. The Power Pro is not a "cheater" by any definition, with uprights that measure 42 inches apart on the inside for serious stability. The bench is also extremely versatile, with deluxe lat tower and arm curl attachments, along with a leg lift station with its own curl bar. As a result, you can work out virtually any muscle group in the comfort of your own home. And thanks to the heavy-duty 3-inch steel uprights and main frame, you needn't worry about the bench buckling to the pressure any time soon. In fact, the Power Pro is tested to the following weight limits: 300 pounds for the bench, 400 pounds for the uprights, and 150 pounds for the leg lift and lat tower (the bench isn't recommended or guaranteed for use over these limits). Other details include a built-in squat rack in the rear, three Olympic weight plate adapters and spring clips, and adjustable uprights that conform to multiple uses. The Power Pro, which measures 88 by 83 by 60 inches (W x H x D), also carries a 90-day warranty on labor and a one-year warranty on the frame.

The product was just as described. Shipping was fast and this product is of very high quality.
great weight bench for price 5 stars all the way February 20, 2010
J. Torres (whittier ca)
This bench does it all for me and cant beat the price and free shipping and bench arrived sooner than estimated by amazon/ups 5 days actually. I just cancelled my gym membership and got this bench. The only problem with this unit is that the bench is a lil short for me as I am 6'2 but not really a big issue. I am currently benching 335 and this bench does not shake or wobble. The lat tower is pretty sturdy too..I put 180 on it so far and it held up nicely. As for assembly.. it took me about 2 hours to put together ( instructions not that great )but I managed to do it. I would definetly buy this again if I had to and recommend this bench to everyone. Thanks

I decided to try and exercise more, and gain some more muscles so I bought some weights and needed a bench. For the price this isn't that bad, pretty good actually. But it is a bit small for me, being 6'3". The padded bench is small for me, but shouldnt be an issue for those of smaller statures. Assembling the bench was quite an adventure, as others have written some parts are not labeled correctly. Also some of the bolts, screws and washers come packaged in different boxes. There is a large piece of cardboard with the majority of the hardware attached to it via plastic, but some are scattered around. This was one of the major drawbacks, not only was it frustrating to look for the missing screws/bolts, but it also added to the build time. Overall build time was around 3 hours for me and my brother, with constant searching for missing hardware and for the tools needed. Once assembled the bench is pretty large, well planted and stable. Build quality is pretty good, except for the paint which peels off with the slightest touch. Also, my bench already had some surface rust on it, I'm guessing from sitting around so long and maybe during shipment, but I can see past that (some spray paint will cover that up)
Overall I'm satisfied with my purchase. It's a great bench with some quirks for an amazing price.

I really like this bench. The instructions were absolutely horrible so it took longer to put together than it should have. The frame was not welded absolutely perfectly either so all four legs do not completely touch the floor, and some of the bolts do not fit perfectly. All in all these things were not really an issue for me. I am also not sure that had I spent $100 more that I would not come across the same issues with a more expensive bench.
Great value August 26, 2009

I did a lot of research before purchasing this bench because:
1) The pictures show both the lat and preacher extensions in their *storage* locations, so I wasn't able to see how they were usable from the pictures on the interwebs.
2) Comparable benches start in the $400-$500 range, and this sells for about half that...
3) The fact that it accommodated both Olympic and Standard weights was mysterious.
I've been using it for ~2 weeks now, and I can comfortably say that I would purchase it again. The lat and preacher extensions both fit in the usual location (into the upright that the leg extension comes off of), and work great. The product ships with Olympic "sleeves" and standard-sized plate poles (on the leg extension for example), so you're supposed to slip the sleeve over the poles (and your standard bar if you have one) if you want to use it with Olympic plates. As I have standard weights, this was great for me. I can't comment on how it performs with the sleeves, although others have suggested it's not quite perfect.
As for the low price? The bench is of seemingly good/high quality, but Phoenix (the mfg) definitely skimped on aesthetics *not* function when producing this. Here are my gripes:
* The paint they used is some kind of bubbled-looking powder coat (or so...) and it likes to flake off in places where you're sliding plates on and off of it. So, no big deal, vaccuum it up and move on...
* One of the uprights was welded 1/4" too low and I couldn't fit a washer when assembling. Washer omitted, works fine.
* The numbered assembly steps in the instructions are incomplete (you end up with left-over parts) but the exploded view of the bench is complete. So for a few of the minor parts (like the rubber stopper for the lat bar, and various caps for the ends) you'll need to refer to the exploded view.
* Assembly takes a considerable while. I would leave a good 3 hours.
* Mine shipped with an "Other side up" label affixed to the wrong side of the cross-bar that connects the two bench uprights to the leg extension upright. The pictures clearly indicated which side in fact had to face up, however.
So, the overall impression that I have is that this is a quality bench that definitely gets the job done, but that some of the minor details are keeping it from selling for more. That's great for me, because I have a perfectly functional bench at half the price, and I don't care about the details above. In fact I'm leaving the "Other side up" label for effect.
