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 and require more balance and coordination. Free weights also work a larger number of muscles than resistance machines, which tend to focus on isolated muscles. However, free weights must be used properly or injury is more likely to occur. A utility bench helps manage free weight routines. 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 you want to focus on your 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.

5 out of 5 stars Danskin Weight Bench   June 9, 2008
This little bench is perfect for women, but men can use it too! The price is reasonable and it is attractive, sturdy and easy to assemble. I own 2 now and love them both.

Its okay. Too small and too expensive for the price! Also, you need to assemble, it doesn't come pre-built.





4 out of 5 stars Fully Assembled? I Think Not.....   March 21, 2008

One of the selling points of this weight bench was that it came fully assembled, but when I saw the box waiting on the porch for me I had a sinking feeling that this was not true. Sure enough, when I opened the box it was in pieces with assembly instructions included. It wasn't hard to assemble, but it would have been nice to know in advance so I could take that into account when comparing the different benches in my price range. Also, it is a bit on the small side as mentioned in other reviews. It doesn't take up much room, though, and does fold up nicely to stow away. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

This is a great little workout bench with the emphasis on "LITTLE".
No where did I remember reading that this was a small bench meant for women or small men. I am 6'0" and it is far to short for me. My head hangs over the end of bench when working out.
Otherwise It was built nice and folds down a lot flater that the Bowflex bench I was looking at.
If you aren't a short person... don't buy this bench. Spring for the Bowflex. If you are short...this is a great bench at a great price.



5 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for!   June 11, 2007

I wanted to purchase an exercise bench for my 61 year old father who has been doing free weight exercises on the floor for as long as I can remember. I needed something that could fold for easy storage. This bench folds and unfold easily, is sturdy, attractive, comfortable, light weight, offers 4 positions for different exercises, and comes with an exercise DVD and pamphlet. There was no assembly required, although there is a spare part that looks like a cap that we couldn't determine where it belongs...I highly recommend this bench!
