Love this exercise bench! May 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I absolutely love this exercise bench. It was very easy to assemble, with all the tools needed included in the package. Because it's easy to change the seating angles on this bench, I don't have to spend a lot of time fiddling with adjusting pins. Paired with the bowflex selecttech dumbbells, I've been able to cut down my workout time drastically (which is quite important due to my busy schedule). My one gripe (shared by a number of other reviewers) is that you have to practically raise the bench vertically in order to make use of the wheels in order to move the bench. I try to store my bench in my walk in closet, so transporting it in/out does take some effort. But overall, I'm thoroughly pleased with this product.
Nice bench. April 16, 2008

This bench is really sharp looking. It goes from 90 degrees to a decline of 17 degrees, just like advertised. Some benches I researched had handles that prevented the decline or just didn't decline as advertised. So I was very pleased that this bench does indeed work as it's supposed to. Another feature I like is the removable leg hold-down brace for added decline position support. Assembly is required, and wasn't that bad. The directions were fairly good, and one person was all that was needed. I agree with other reviewers about the wheels; you have to raise the bench up quite a bit to make them useful. Other than that, I really don't have anything bad to say about this product.
 Everything I thought it was April 13, 2008
It has great appeal to it and matches my Selecttech weights. Like others have addressed, it has a gap between the seat part and the adjustable back part which I wasn't really expecting but you need it to allot for the 90 degree position of the adjustable back part. For those like me who were concerned about the decline position on the bench being nothing useful, I was quite happy with the degree of decline on it that could be used for decline crunches or decline bench. I just might have to sell my Selecttech dumb bell set for the heavier, newer model Nautilus has designed. After a certain time, you'll be wanting to do the same.
Solid construction--Easy to assemble January 2, 2008

I bought the Bowflex 5.1 Bench as a Christmas gift for my fiance. Now, as a rule, exercise/fitness/diet related gifts are off limits for holidays and birthdays--but it was on his list. He did all the research and felt that this was his best option. I like the fact that all of the edges are rounded and that makes for fewer, or at least less painful, stubbed toes and I like that the welded joints are ground smooth; fewer opportunities for snagged clothing. The bench pads are comfortable and I think they'll hold up for years.
Assembly was easy, though I would suggest to Bowflex that they shorten the long arm on the enclosed allen wrench so that you can get a full swing when tightening bolts.
It does take up more room than I anticipated. We have a small home and even though I took measurements, the foot print seems larger than I anticipated. That and I forgot to allow space on either side of the Bench for arm swing, so dumbbells come precariously close to the wall.
Overall, a great product and a good value.
Great bench! December 24, 2007
The bench works great. An issue that I've experienced though is that the plastic stoppers on the adjustment bar fall off whenever you change the bench's incline setting. The bench is also a little taller than other benches I've used before. I am 6' tall and have an inseam of 33". I usually like to lay a couple of inches lower than what I do on this bench. But, it's just my preference.
