Review Of The Fitness Reality X-Class Situp Bench
With some of the key features out of the way, you might be wondering how the unit works in practicality.
Usability:
The first thing you will look at as a fitness lover is the usability of the unit. However, this bench allows you to perform multiple exercises, including stomach workouts and some of the painful lower back raises that I have come to despise. Not only this, but there are a couple more exercises that work well when you have additional weights to work with you:
These are only a few of the common exercises that you can perform on this unit. However, you might need to have some additional weights to help you with it. The bench can only be used as the platform to get started.
Design:
It has been designed from Faux leather with 2-inches of foam for padding inserted. The combination of these materials will wick away moisture and prevent sweat from sticking to it like most of the equipment in the gym.
As we have mentioned, it only weighs 55.6-pounds but can hold a staggering weight capacity of 650-pounds. This is due to the high-quality steel used for the inner frame of the unit. Additionally, the Fitness Reality X-Class Situp Bench features wheels that make it portable and easier for the user to move around the home, and once you are done; it can be folded to be put away.
Set-Up:
The setup is fairly simple if you have a basic understanding of how to put things together. The unit does not arrive fully assembled, but all the tools have been included. It took us only a couple of minutes by following the instructions to have it fully assembled and ready for use.
What We Liked About It:
- Extremely durable structure
- Moisture wicking materials
- Easy to assemble
- Allows users to perform multiple workouts
- Reasonably priced
Final Verdict:
A serious workout enthusiast will definitely love Fitness Reality X-Class. Not only is it stylish and affordable, but it allows you to perform numerous workouts with your own bodyweight. The Fitness Reality X-Class Situp Bench can be a little expensive for some, but it’s worth paying the extra to get a sit up bench that is going to last.
