Best Fitness BFOB10 Olympic Bench Review

As the manufacturers of this product put it in their marketing, the Best Fitness BFOB10 Olympic Bench is an "all-in-one" device which is able to support over 50 different exercises. Whilst it certainly looks the part, we wanted to give it a hands-on test to see whether or not the performance actually lived up to the expectations.

Following is our review of the product, focusing on things such as the style, comfort, and abilities of the bench.

Best Fitness BFOB10 Olympic Bench Specifications & Features

Dimensions
Because of the folding frame at the back which makes it look bigger - we wanted to get an accurate and comparable measurement of the dimensions of the product. Hence, the following measurements exclude the additional weight frame.

The Best Fitness BFOB10 Olympic Bench length is 68", width is 41" and height is 45". The folding nature of the frame deserves a special mention here, because if you are trying to do some exercises with the frame up - you'll have quite a bit of difficulty. You can actually completely remove the frame from the bench if necessary - which is a handy design function.

Comfort & Style
Whilst the bench is adjustable, it does not provide as many settings as other similar devices out there. More specifically, the BFOB10 gives you 3 different incline settings, including flat, decline and incline.

These are standard with most benches around this price, but to make it extra special we would have liked to have seen 5 to 8 different possibilities.

One final thing worth mentioning is that this bench does have heavy duty roller pads to cushion both your hands and feet when doing specific exercises. This adds to the overall comfort of the machine.

Extras & Add-ons
The Best Fitness BFOB10 Olympic Bench comes with a 1 year warranty on all parts except for the add-on frame (we'll get to that in a second) which is covered by a 3 year warranty. This is good for peace of mind, and clearly shows that the manufacturer is confident in their own products.

The frame is probably the most important feature of the Best Fitness BFOB10 Olympic Bench which distinguishes it from other exercise benches out there. The frame enables you to use barbells to perform exercises such as the bench press, without having to have someone standing over you (spotting) the whole time. Handy = yes. Vital = not really.

Our Rating of the Best Fitness BFOB10 Olympic Bench

It's much like using a piece of modern technology for the first time - there are surprises around every corner. Because of this - the BFOB10 gets 5 stars as our rating.
