GMWD Chest Press Machine, 1200LBS Bench Press Machine with Independent Converging Arms, Adjustable Flat Incline Bench for Chest, AB Workouts, Shoulder Home Gym Equipment, V1

This is a fair and un-compensated review. This is a very sturdy and effective bench. I do not hesitate to recommend it. It is far more than a chest press. Its design lends itself to many more exercises. I especially like the space saving design. This works exactly as it should. Some of been critical of the instructions and assembly process. Are the instructions perfect, no. That said they are more than adequate. In places I wish the instructions were clearer, but again it is NO BIG DEAL. It is relatively easy to assemble. Everything lined up as it should and I had no issues with parts or hardware. I am very happy with this purchase. In fact, I purchased the ab machine from GMWD!

No complaints on this one at all. Of course for the price I don’t expect this machine to be strong enough to survive a nuclear bomb lol. You can move the arms to the sides if you put strength on it and could possibly bend it, but who the heck works out like that??😂 gotta go read a book if you somehow break this machine. This machine is fantastic, it holds so much weight and really hits the pectorals. There are many levels to the protective bars to lay the arms in once you’re finished working out. You will NEVER need a spotter with this. The machine is very comfortable while working out and is very easy to use and understand. There were no missing parts at all and assembly was very easy with easy to read instructions. I was able to adapt to this machine very quick and easy and you can actually do many exercises with it. I use it for bench pressing and then to work out my back as well. Versatility is good

I had been eyeballing this piece of equipment for a long time. This has been a fantastic addition to my home garage gym. I no longer am concerned about dropping weights and hurting my floor. I use the bench for other exercises as well. The arms are a little squeaky when you’re using them, but I’ve never had any concern that the machine is going to fail. I’m fairly tall at 6 foot six and I have no issue using this equipment. I have used both the flat and incline settings and they have worked great. I love how the bench folds up and allows for my space to be used effectively. I don’t see the use for the shoulder press Option because I’m so tall. The construction seems robust. And it was easy to put together. For the price you cannot beat this.

For the price, this chest press machine is a decent option, but don't expect top-tier quality. Right out of the box, it's clear that this isn't a luxury piece of gym equipment. The frame feels a bit wobbly, and the plate holder has a tendency to sway back and forth even with moderate weight loaded. However, I've been pleasantly surprised by its stability during actual workouts. It hasn't tipped or shifted while I'm using it, so it's definitely functional for its main purpose. The biggest letdown was the advertised shoulder press function. The design of the handles makes it physically impossible to perform a proper shoulder press without them bumping into each other. Your only choice is to try doing them unilaterally/asynchronously, which I'm generally not a huge fan of. This was a real bummer, especially since it was one of the features that drew me to this machine. Overall, if you're strictly looking for a basic chest press machine and you're on a budget, this could be a good fit. It's not the sturdiest or most versatile piece of equipment, but it gets the job done for chest workouts at a hard-to-beat price.

Great machine, easy to assemble, works great! I really like how the design allows the seat to fold up to optimize space!

Was happy with sale price. Easy to put together. Perfect for what I need it for you can do chest press and sit facing front and do shoulder presses. I don't know how durable for someone lifting 200 on each side but for someone just lifting light it is perfect for the price.

Easy to assemble. Good quality and the arch is perfect for chest pressing. Bought it for our son who lives in another state. He assembled it quickly and really found it to be a good buy.

Ok for the price I was shocked. I had the feeling it would be cheap but it's not. For us it was worth the money. Very happy with it.

This is a solid chest press machine for a home gym at a reasonable price! The converging arms feel very smooth when pressed. The height is adjustable, and you can use a flat position or set the bench for a slight incline to alternate arms. The bench also folds up. Don't expect to do shoulder presses, though, as the angle is too far forward. There are also ankle peg pads behind the bench for decline sit-ups, which work well, but you will need to place yoga blocks, foam, or something soft between the rack and your shins to make it comfortable. Putting it together was straightforward with the instructions; it only took me about an hour once everything was laid out. Overall, a great chest press machine!

This machine is very simple and feels sturdy and robust. No squeaking, cracking or scratching noises. The two arms are sturdy and if you tighten the screws properly, you won't get any "loose" or sideways moving of the arms (as other reviews pointed out). I do suggest using power tools to assemble this product. The machine when folded takes very little space, once again not to sure why people complain about that.... as long as you don't expect a 6000$ value out of it, this machine will satisfy you 100% for the price. Finally, i didn't find any noticeable difference between this machine and the chest press that you would find in a commercial gym. Works as good as any "hammer strength" machine for less money.

Putting it together took a good 45-1hr with a drill(quicker) it looks great and is very sturdy, built well and a good size a bit of a tight fit for a bigger guy but still good. The only thing I have issue with is a couple of spots have plastic coverings, had to worn the guys not to be rough putting weights off and on, but overall this machine moves very smooth and easy to transition from one move to another. Good value for your money, great overall performance from this machine.

Parfait pour gym maison

Very easy to put together. The machine feels amazing. One thing I do wish for is to have a little more convergence at the top. But either way, it feels extremely safe to go to absolute failure with this. One big tip is at the starting position, to save your shoulders and give you a little spot, is to use the foot foam rollers included as a pad under the arms. Position it in a way that once you lift off, the pads will fall off so your reps moving forward will have the full stretch ROM without compromising lift off disadvantagious stretched position. Watch budgethomegyms review for actual tip.
