Full review
Longer notes from the same comments we summarized above.
What people reported
The Fitbench One is generally praised for its clever concept of combining a bench, plyobox, and storage for various fitness accessories into a single, compact unit. Owners appreciate its multi-functional design, noting it works as both an incline and decline bench, and provides 14 different anchor points for varied workouts. Some users consider it a smart solution for limited spaces, such as small home gyms or hotel gyms. It is also seen as ideal for large group training classes where each participant needs their own station and equipment.
Problems people mention
The most prominent concern among owners is the significantly high price of the Fitbench One, with many stating it is too expensive for home use. Several comments highlight that the cost exceeds that of an entire home gym setup, including power racks and barbells. Some users also reported sliding off when using the incline feature, suggesting a potential stability issue. Despite its compact nature, one comment noted it's "not easy to move", and there was a concern that in a commercial gym, the accessories stored within could easily get scattered or lost.
Where owners disagree
There's a slight disagreement regarding the incline stability. While some users expressed concern about sliding, one community manager mentioned that the incline with no seat was a "nice touch" and they didn't mind relying on their legs. However, the feedback on sliding was more explicit from other users.
Who it's for
The Fitbench One appears to be best suited for commercial gyms, fitness studios, and facilities that host small- or large-group training classes due to its all-in-one station design. It may also appeal to home users with very limited space who prioritize a compact, integrated solution and are willing to invest at a premium price point.
