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.

Sports reviews of Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Bench Series 5.1
Customer Review: 2 issues otherwise...
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
i'm pretty happy with the product with 1 large complaint and 1 small complaint. the big complaint is the wheels. unless i assembled it wrong it doesn't roll and i store it in a separate room from where i workout making it especially annoying. if you aren't going to move it this won't be a problem. the small problem is the separation between the two paddings. most people really hate it but I've worked out on much worse so i only consider it a mild inconvenience. oh there is a third problem the way the pad is angled when i do tricep dips my hands don't feel solid or even. the bench itself is solid and i would recommend it to anyone despite my minor complaints. i was lucky enough to get it free with the purchase of the weights so i guess if i spent 250 i might be a little more angered but again i would recommend.Customer Review: Love this exercise bench!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
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.Customer Review: Nice bench.
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
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.Customer Review: Very good all-purpose bench
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I purchased this bench with the intention of being able to complete a solid dumbell workout on those days that I could not get to my local gym. The assembly instructions are clear (which apparently is an improvement). The bench is easily assembled in about an hour. The construction is solid and there is no significant wobble. Position adjustments are quick. Although the gap between the butt and back pad bothers some people, it does not seem to be a major issue with me. As others have mentioned, the bench does not move on its roller wheels very well. All in all, the quality of this bench is comparable to what one would find in most fitness centers.Customer Review: Sturdy and well built for the price
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This bench is well built for the price, but could have been a bit better. The wheels, as stated in other reviews, are largely useless as you have to have it almost perpendicular to the floor to use them. The bench does not wobble even when I use my Selecttech 1090 dumbells (I am 200lbs plus the 180lb for the dumbells). Using the decline bench is great for your chest and is something you may not even be able to do at your gym.
