9 Best Workout Benches for Home Use UK 2024 | Flybird, Opti and More

When it came time to choose a number 1 product, instinctively we were attracted to the utility-style benches. We believe this style is the most practical and has the best balance between function and application. With that in mind, we chose the Naspaluro bench, and this is for many reasons. 

One feature many people will be happy with is the high weight capacity. This makes the bench a solid option for various types of people with different goals. Add to that the abundance of backrest adjustments, the mid-ground dimensions, the free bands and the excellent folding capabilities, and really, it was the clear winner. 

This flat bench from Onetwofit has a couple of unique features that we want to touch on. The first one is that it is considerably longer than any other bench in our ranking. While that may make it that little more cumbersome to store, it's advantageous if you're on the taller side as it will support you more appropriately. 

Secondly, we like the inclusion of the dumbbell rack underneath, which makes keeping your equipment in one place much easier. Okay, it doesn't fold away, but the fact you can store your weights and bench in the same place should save you some floor space as it is. 

Before we dive into the specs, it's worth pointing out that this beach is on the shorter side. Therefore, if you're a taller person, this might not be the most suitable option. For everyone else, though, this smaller back and seat rest could save you even more space, which can be helpful if your workout real estate is at a premium.

While it might be small, the weight bench can take over 250 kg before reaching capacity, and we think this is a testament to the quality of the materials used in the construction. Furthermore, there are six varying incline angles and a support bar to ensure you can exercise safely and efficiently.

Another classic flat bench here, only this time it's foldable, which is why you find it higher up the list than the previous DTX Fitness offering. You don't have to worry about this compromising your safety though, as the frame is built from very sturdy steel tubing. 

We also really like the addition of a carry handle on the underside of the bench, which makes manoeuvring it around the home to your workout area that little bit easier. On top of that, this is the cheapest option in our ranking, making it a good choice if you're tight on cash. 

Domyos are a well-respected company that produces good home fitness equipment that doesn't break the bank, just like this barbell bench. Ultra-compact yet stable, it's built for use when completing standard or incline presses. This may seem limited, but it does tick several other functionality boxes. 

As well as the quality, this bench is also surprisingly space-conscious, being able to fold and be store easily. Our only concern is that it has a maximum capacity on the lower side; this might not be a problem for most casual users, but those who want to pump some serious iron might want to look elsewhere. 

This is a bench that comes with seemingly never-ending options for adjustability. For example, the backrest and core pad have seven different heights each, making it more than likely you'll find the perfect position to exercise comfortably. Plus, you'll also get some resistant bands thrown in for free with your purchase. 

The company have used a solid and sturdy steel frame, and this comes with additional rubber feet to protect the equipment from slipping, sliding and damaging your floor. Some people have questioned the welding, stating that it complicated the assembly process, so you'll want to take that into account when purchasing. 

With mentions in trusted magazines like Men's Health, you know DTX is a company that produce the goods. Here, we have their take on the flat weights bench. It's a no-frills design, but you can rest assured that everything is high quality, from the steel frame to the thick 7.5 cm padded seat. 

In addition to, or because of, the quality, this more compact bench can take 250 kg of weight, which is surprising given the size. We do wish it was foldable, although due to the nature of flat benches, it shouldn't be too hard to find space for it – even if you're living in a city centre flat. 

This multi-function barbell workout bench helps bring the gym to your home. The backrest itself has three different positions: 90-degrees, one incline and one decline. However, the standout feature is the inclusion of 6 x 5 kg weight plates, making it perfect if you're at the start of your home fitness journey.

One potential downside is that this is the largest of all our benches, and you'll need to ensure you have the room for it as there is no option to fold it up. That said, if you do have a permanent space, this is excellent value. 

Getting our ranking started is this utility-style bench from JX Fitness. The brilliant feature of this design is that both the backrest and the seat are adjustable. This provides you with even more versatility when it comes to the exercises you'll be capable of performing.

However, some people have found that when you decline the bench, the gap between it and the seat is a little too wide, which can result in some discomfort. There are some questions about the quality of the upholstery used, although the fairly reasonable price reflects that.
