All you need to exercise more

I bought this weight bench after the holidays and got a great deal because it was a floor model. It needed a new cable so I was able to test Weider's customer service which was superb and easy to use. The bench is great for recreational weight lifting. You can do bench press, shoulder pulls, arm curls,...

Good value for the money

I researched weight benches on many websites before purchasing this one. I couldn't find another bench with these features in the same price range (onsale for $120). Durability, stability and reverse-incline were the determining factors in my purchase. The product seems well constructed and durable.... read full review »

This is a good bench for the money.

I purchased this bench a few weeks ago, and I have been using it every other day. The workout you get from this bench is great, I also really like the fact that it has the lat tower. However after purchasing this bench from Sears, I got home and started to assemble it. After getting about half way through putting it together, I realized I was missing a lot of nuts and bolts. This was a bit disturbing. I was told to call and notify Weider, I did not want to wait several days for shipping, so I went to the local hardware store to get them. I truly enjoy using this bench, I just think you should get... read full review »

Good bench for the price

I recently bought this bench to workout at home instead of joining a gym. It was a breeze to setup. I've only had it a few weeks but I like it so far. The lat tower is a nice feature that you won't find on another bench at this price. Believe me, I looked for a few weeks online. I don't use the leg attachment but when I tried it, it seemed like it would work fine. I actually found I can do squats with it. I'm 6 ft tall and when I put the bar at it's highest point, I find I can back into it and lift the bar. If I put the bench as low as it will go, then that allows me to get a near full... read full review »

4 stars

I found this product to be a good value. It is a great bench for the price. It allows you to do a wide variety of exercises. It is also relatively easy to assemble. I recommend it for a beginner or someone on a budget.

Amazing quality for the price.

I purchased this a few days ago and just picked it up from the warehouse today. After just one workout I can see how sturdy this bench is. The instructions were very clear and it took me about 2 hours to assemble (by myself).

Exactly What I wanted

I received this as a birthday gift (I requested this item) and have not been dissapointed. Build quality is great, the instructions were easy and installation took little time and the packaging was well organized. The bench is very solid. I have only had it for a short period of time and have only one complaint. When using the lat bar for behind the head excercises you end up pulling the bar at an odd angle so that you do not hit your back w/ the weights. Otherwise, a great machine.

Very nice, sturdy bench. Excellent value!

The Weiderpro 260 is built to last. Very sturdy and well built, especially compared to the other benches in this price range. The bench includes a very nice lat tower which also is a rarity at this price. Also has a preacher pad. Even the stitching on the seat and bench is very high quality. The bench is wide enough for a larger person and is very comfortable. Being mid-width allows for a nice wide grip for bench presses. The tethered-pin seatback makes adjusting the angle a breeze. I put it in the incline position for situps. Besides being an excellent bench, it has an awsome appearance. The... read full review »
