We have an old Precor bench that has wheels. The wheels make a difference in moving it around.

It is like this one:

That is really pricey! Ours was on sale at the now defunct Sports Chalet.

I bought this PowerBlock bench a couple of years ago and LOVE it! It's very durable and still looks new. I make sure I wash off the sweat after each workout because my last bench "faded" because I didn't always make time to do that...yeah, ugh.

Wow girl!!! I have not had any adjustable bench costing that much. I usually see them for cheap on Craig’s list.

Dang woman I just have mine away, not like this year but I needed space

Like the wheels and this seems reasonable. Is it sturdy? Do you like it?

yes, I like it quite a bit! I had a flat bench for 30 years and decided it was time for an adjustable one too. it arrived very well packed, pretty easy to put together and the wheels are great, the other side has a handle so you can just lift up on it and wheel it out of the way. shipping via ups was pretty expensive. it seems sturdy enough for me and pretty good quality build.

Not to derail, but what's the benefit of having an adjustable bench vs. flat bench? What moves would I do using the incline? (I'd been thinking about a bench...but now I'm wondering if it should be adjustable...)

oh I love incline..

You can do chest flies
Bent over rows
Triceps

it works your body at a different angle

i.,e you can sit on it to do regular arm exercises.

the one I had had a leg lift on the end so I could do curls for the legs.

No getting on the floor.

many many much and more. Highly recommend over a flat one.
