Cap Barbell Fitness FID Bench Review
By admin on Jun 22, 2010 with Comments 0
One of the most important aspects of a home fitness bench is whether or not it is able to be customized to fit the proportions of your body. If it is, almost anyone will be able to use the bench - however if it isn't, you might find that the comfort or safety of the bench is compromised.
Thankfully, the Cap Barbell Fitness FID Bench scores well in the "customization" area - as there are 4 different positions available to users. And what else did we like about the product? Read on to find out.

Cap Barbell Fitness FID Bench Specifications & Features
Dimensions
The Cap Barbell Fitness FID Bench is a standard exercise bench, with a maximum weight capacity of 250lbs. This is a generous amount, even when you take in to account the added weight of the dumb bells or exercise weights which you will be using from time to time.
As we said in the introduction, the FID bench is capable of 4 unique position - including flat, inclined, declined, and 90 degrees upright. This increases the selection of exercises which can be performed on the machine. Furthermore - adjusting the bench itself was a breeze, and even the most terrified DIY novice will be able to work it out!
Comfort & Style
This bench from Cap Barbell Fitness includes luxury finishings, such as the dumbbell holder which is able to provide support for your dumbbells whilst you get in to and out of the correct exercise positions on the bench.
The handgrips are also covered with foam, providing added comfort during rigorous or demanding exercise. When you need to convert the handgrips to leg supports, the foam also makes exercises such as leg raises a breeze.
Extras & Add-ons
Aside from the dumbbell holder at the side of the machine (which isn't really an added extra) - there are no additional features to this bench. The product does come with a warranty, but we were unsure whether this was for 1 or 2 years (it didn't tell us anywhere!). Even so, a year is a fairly decent amount of time to have a piece of exercise equipment covered before - because of the wear and tear that it might experience during that time.
Our Rating of the Cap Barbell Fitness FID Bench
The Cap Barbell Fitness FID Bench is an excellent bench to buy if you are looking for a product to complement a range of exercises. Unlike other benches which can only be used for 3 to 10 different activities, the adjustable nature of the FID bench makes it flexible and accommodating when you want to try new things.
The finishing work has been done well, and you can tell just by looking at it that the construction is of high quality. Sitting on it and using the machine will confirm this - and for these reasons, we wouldn't hesitate to give the Cap Barbell Fitness FID Bench a full 5 stars.
