Marcy Diamond MD 857 Olympic Surge Bench
The MD857 by Impex Fitness is a complete workout system. This Olympic weight bench offers four back pad positions so you can isolate and develop all areas of your pectorals. The angled uprights, which is what's seen on the weight benches at your local gym, allow for easy return of the weight bar to the bar catches on that final push. The adjustable height bar catches and safety catches put your body in the perfect position throughout your bench press workout. This offers safety to the user and maximizes the benefit of the exercise. An included leg developer, with contoured foam roller pads, allows you to develop all major leg muscle groups. The arm curl support pad and arm curl bar will give your biceps the burn you are looking for. Unique to this bench are the bar catches on the back of the uprights. These bar catches allow you to perform squats off the back of the machine. Also on the back of the bench are two well positioned weight plate storage posts that allow you to keep your workout space neat and tidy. Detailed instructions allow for quick and easy assembly so you're working out right away. This bench offers a weight capacity of 600lbs. (body weight + weight plates + weight bar) with assembled dimensions of 80" L x 47.5" W x 60" H. A 2 year manufacturer's limited warranty is included.Work your chest, shoulders, biceps, legs, and more without trudging to the gym day after day with the Marcy MD 857 Olympic surge bench. The MD 857 is built tough, with a durable steel frame, upholstery-boxed padding with high-density foam for comfort, and a long-lasting powder-coat finish. More significantly, the bench makes it easy to perform a wide variety of exercises. The bench's adjustable seat and back pad, for instance, operate on a slide track that places the exerciser in the correct posture for military and chest press exercises. At the same time, the bench includes an adjustable preacher curl pad and a detachable bicep bar, so you can isolate your biceps for better bulk. To accommodate your legs, the MD 857 includes a dual-function leg developer with a pivot point and locking mechanism. The pivot point aligns the developer with your knee joints for improved efficiency and safety, while the locking mechanism lets you perform abdominal exercises while seated on the bench. The bench even offers a reverse walk-in squat feature for working your quads in an upright position.

Other features include contoured foam roller pads, adjustable bar catches, akimbo-style crutches with diamond striker plates, and two Olympic weight storage posts. Designed to fit Olympic-size barbell and weight plates, the bench measures 80 by 60 by 47.5 inches (W x H x D) and carries a two-year limited warranty on parts.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

I like it a lot.
So I've answered a few questions here and there on other people's review, so I figured I would start my own.

I bought this weight bench mainly because I wanted to workout in peace and avoid any gym environment.

Assembly took me about three hours, but that's because I did it on my own. That being said, I would recommend two people carrying it out for safety purposes.

The box came with everything I needed, so I was happy that it was complete. Also, it did not come damaged like other reviewers have said, so I guess I got lucky in that regard too.

I like the flexibility of the catches because you can put them along different heights of the unit and are reversible. The one exception is that the catches at the very top (facing on the opposite side in the picture), in that they are restricted to that height (but are reversible too). The catches themselves come in two types. I use the short ones as the primary catches, but the longer ones for...

Good Bench
This is a solid product and I like it a lot. The only complaint I have is that the squat rack in the back is definately for a taller person, but I just turned the top front rack holders around to use in the back. I'm only 5'6" so getting the bar back up on the squat supports was a bit difficult, but once I turned the front ones around it was much easier. I like the versitility that it offers in that regard too. Overall a very solid product.
Marcy Diamond MD 857 Olympic Surge Bench
I am very happy with this bench. Very sturdy and easy to put together. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because some of the peices of the kit had paint chips and dings. Probably from shipping. Other than that I am pleased with this purchase.

For the price, I'm very impressed
I've been working out with weights for 15 years but have been out of the game for the last several due to personal reasons. A few months ago I was told by my Dr. that I need to lose about 25 lbs. so I decided to get back in the game after a 2 year hiatus. However, because of my very limited time and having 2 young children at home, I did not want to go back to the gym at this time. I'm away from my kids enough during my work day so I decided to set myself up at home. The problem was, as it is with most people, I have very limited space and certainly don't have a large extra room I can dedicate as a home gym.

I bought this bench because the price was appealing and because I needed something that would fold up and take up less space since it's being stored in our bedroom. I was actually surprised at how sturdy it is for a folding bench. The bench is solid and folds up and stores very easily in a small corner of our bedroom. The mid width is perfect for my 6' bar. It will...

Pretty good home bench.
This bench is great for those without a lot of space. It folds up real nice and stays that way with a locking pin that pops in, plus a manually installed pin underneath that you can add also. It was easy to put together, comes with the tools you need (but use your own if you have them) and is a sturdy bench. I use mine with a 6-foot, 15-lb aluminum bar (200 lb load capacity) and together they make a perfect home workout center. Comes with leg extension/hamstring curl attachment which is easy to get on/off (but you need tools for the nut/bolt that holds it in place). Finish is a nice satin gold color (looks good) and quality of manufacture is good also. The supports are wide enough so that one person can load weights without the bar tipping.
Only two nitpicks: #1: the weight supports wobble some at the higher settings,and at the highest setting - for squats - it is just right for my 5'8" frame; taller folks will bend down some to get under the bar.
#2: the gap between the...
Excellent Value for the Price
I hate going to the gym because my local gym always has people using up all the benches. I never get a good workout in, because I can only use the machines, which are the only things available. I like being able to workout at my own convenience, so I shopped around for a bench.

I was looking for a bench that could do flat/incline presses and not take up too much space.

This was the only one I found that folded up. For the price I saw on Amazon, I was a bit hesitant. Not only was it cheap, it was eligible for free prime shipping as well, so I was a bit skeptical because shipping alone for this probably cost $40. The reviews were better than the other benches so I went for it.

When I opened the box, it looked like the box just exploded in my room and all I saw was a thousand nuts/bolts, and some metal bars. I was scared to death because the instructions were only 4 pages long, and it was very intimidating at first glance. After about a half hour...

Ok for price if you're not too tall.
For the price this low-end home gym is generally able to do the things I wanted a cheap home gym to do. However, there are a few issues you need to consider before buying it. The biggest issue is ergonometric - this unit is not designed to be used by anyone over perhaps 5'10" or 5'11". I'm 6'1" and this creates problems for me. I have to find work-arounds to use a unit designed for people smaller than me. The problem is that form is very important when doing the exercises (when you don't pay attention to form, you either reduce the effectiveness of the exercise or risk injury) and finding work-arounds sometimes compromises your form during the exercise.
There are also a few quality issues but these were not entirely unexpected considering the price of the unit. It would have been nice if the bench padding were a little better but its adequate. The two most annoying quality issues involve the plate bars (the bars that hold the weights). This first issue was with the plate...

Great value
I did a lot of research before purchasing this bench because:

1) The pictures show both the lat and preacher extensions in their *storage* locations, so I wasn't able to see how they were usable from the pictures on the interwebs.
2) Comparable benches start in the $400-$500 range, and this sells for about half that...
3) The fact that it accommodated both Olympic and Standard weights was mysterious.

I've been using it for ~2 weeks now, and I can comfortably say that I would purchase it again. The lat and preacher extensions both fit in the usual location (into the upright that the leg extension comes off of), and work great. The product ships with Olympic "sleeves" and standard-sized plate poles (on the leg extension for example), so you're supposed to slip the sleeve over the poles (and your standard bar if you have one) if you want to use it with Olympic plates. As I have standard weights, this was great for me. I can't comment on how it performs...
Most amazing piece of gym equipment i've owned!!!
Just like a lot of other people that get home gyms for the simple reason of not going to the gym for personal reasons, I too was looking for the most parts an all in one type. I don't like those cable/rod type machines, they just don't give you that being back in the gym type of feeling. So after some positive reviews, good price and most importantly, the Lat pull bar option, made me go with this bench. I had it shipped to my home in a really heavy box. The assembly was very difficult and some of the instruction was just inadequate especially assembling the Lat bar and required just some common sense. Having your own wrench/socket set helps big time. Because of the lack of instruction, I first didn't put the plastic cuffs on the lat bar that first go in the base and at top and in between the moving mechanism which made it very uneven and frictional. I think one of the other reviewers probably made the same mistake and mentioned something about the weights being uneven. Once I figured...
