If you’re searching for the best weight bench Australia has to offer, you’ve come to the right place. A quality bench will be the real workhorse of your gym. It can be used for dumbbell work or with your power rack. The benches that have optional attachments work almost like a multi-gym. So if your gym bench will see a lot of action, it is critical to get one that can stand up to the abuse of heavy, regular training.

Space-saving design
The most basic bench is the flat bench. These were the most common type of benches in the early days of weight training. Ironically, as strength training has reverted back to an emphasis on basic movements like bench pressing, flat benches have seen a resurgence. Some benches were designed to also go incline, which is great for those who want some variety. This allowed you to do different exercises in a variety of angles. The design of these flat incline benches is relatively simple, so they can be heavy-duty.
The incline benches were further developed to incorporate decline angles. These benches are commonly referred to as FID benches (Flat, Incline, Decline). For serious home gym users or personal trainers that are tight on space, the FID bench is very popular. You get to perform a variety of exercises from one workout bench.
What’s wrong with a cheap gym bench?
If you are committed to your training, you need to invest in a quality bench. Although they might be twice the price or even more than a cheap bench, it is a sound investment that will pay dividends down the line. Since your bench sees a lot of work, the quality of materials used in a budget bench will only last a year or two, if you are lucky. The factories that produce these benches aren’t liable for any injuries caused, so they will overstate their load capacities. If you are a serious trainer moving some serious weight, using a poor quality bench is an accident waiting to happen.
