About Utility Benches
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, free-weight lifting continues to be a popular option for home strength training. Free weights offer a special benefit in strength training because they promote quicker strength gains. Free weights also work a larger number of muscles than resistance machines, which tend to focus on isolated muscles.

Specially-designed adjustable pads, grips, and bars help limit and guide movements to minimize the possibility of muscle or joint damage. Plus, from a single utility bench, a vast number of exercises can be performed. Whether it is focusing on the abdomen, arms, chest, or any other muscle group, a utility bench can help you maximize your strength training goals while minimizing your risk of personal injury.

Manufacturer's Warranty
30-year warranty on frame, one-year warranty on upholstery

Sports reviews of Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Bench Series 5.1

Customer Review: Solid work out bench
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

This works as advertised. I am able to rapidly change the elevation of the seat and back rest. The quality is high. As some others have mentioned, the wheels are useless; you will end up dragging it. It is more expensive than the series 3 and you should not get it if you do not change the back rest and seat. I would have liked a lock on the back rest and seat for moving it but otherwise am happy with it.

Customer Review: Great bench!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

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.

Customer Review: Well built but expensive
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

The bench is what I expected. I bought it to go along with my Bowflex 552 dumbbells. The bench seems very well built. I like the fact that you can adjust the seat to an angle and use it as an ab bench. The padding is comfortable and it is a nice looking bench. Overall I am pleased with the product but I think the price was a bit steep for a bench.

Customer Review: Overall, very good bench
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

This is a solid, sturdy and versatile bench that so far has been worth the money spent. The number of adjustable positions makes it a better fit for me than the 3.1. The only complaint that I have is that it takes up a lot of room. It would be nice if it could fold up against the wall to conserve space.

Customer Review: Great Bench
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

So there is definitely an issue with the position of the seat on the bench, but nothing worth complaining about. For the price, this is definitely one of the top contenders, it feels sturdy, I have no question about its stability and construction.

Highly recommended
