What We Mean By Collapsible Weight Bench

I have found that when searching for collapsible weight benches, you will find most results will list those that are foldable weight benches. This is misleading and can be very frustrating, to say the least.

You see, a collapsible bench can be both foldable and collapsible. But a foldable workout bench in some cases will only be foldable; as in folding the backrest or seat.

So to clarify, what we mean by collapsible is having the ability to completely collapse the weight bench into a smaller size in order to better fit it into a smaller space for storage purposes after usage; such as under a bed or into a closet.

With that said, all benches in this product review are fully collapsible gym benches.

You’ll be surprised to see just how small you can collapse some of these workout benches.

How Do I Choose The Best Collapsible Workout Bench?

Here are a few key features to consider before investing in a collapsible weight bench. Decide which features are most important for your particular needs so you can make a better decision when purchasing a new bench.

Maximum Weight Capacity

This is the maximum amount of weight a bench can support. The lowest weight capacity for the collapsible gym benches in this review is 500lbs and the highest is 1000lbs. So, unless you are a powerlifter, any of the benches above 500lbs is suitable for most users.

Portability (Size & Weight)

Depending on the amount of space you have available with your setup, the size of the bench may be an important factor. So make sure to check the dimensions of the bench you are interested in. Check both the setup size and collapsed size for storage.

Additionally, you will want to check how much the bench weighs and if that is something you are comfortable with. Some benches may be too heavy to move around or transport for storage.

Functionality & Adjustability

Make sure your bench has all the incline or decline positions you need to perform the exercises you intend to perform. Some benches even have an adjustable seat that allows them to be positioned into a decline sit-up bench.

Folding Weight Bench vs Non-Folding

I thought we’d take one last look at what makes the collapsible gym bench different from a non-collapsible workout bench. Here are the top differences and what the advantages and disadvantages are for each type of bench.

Storability & Portability

When it comes to portability the folding workout benches are much easier to move about due to their lighter structure. Typically our collapsible weight benches are around 25lbs on average. Where our lightest bench is only 19lbs. Non-folding weight benches are on average 30-40lbs and more and are much harder to maneuver.

Sturdiness

The legs on non-fold up weight benches are mostly welded to the bench structure, which creates a more solid structure. Foldable workout benches, on the other hand, have movable joints and hinges that allow folding and collapsing the bench. This can lead to slight wobbling on cheaper models, but from the reviews I have read on the above models, this has not been a problem.

Weight Capacity

Due to the structural differences mentioned above, the collapsible workout benches may not always support as much weight as the non foldable workout benches. However with our maximum weight capacities ranging from 500lbs up to 1000lbs. So unless you are a powerlifter, this shouldn’t be a problem.

My suggestion is if you weigh over 200lbs and are benching over 300lbs you may want to consider a bench with a maximum weight capacity of over 800lbs.

Flat vs Incline/Decline Gym Bench

Though many would choose the adjustable incline/decline bench to the flat bench, the flat bench does have some advantages.

Here are a few reasons why you might prefer a flat bench over an incline/decline bench:

• Solid structure
• Great for powerlifters (bench press)
• Solid bench pad (no space gap between back & seat)
• Height adjustable (in most cases)
• Sturdy enough for step-up exercises
• Usually has a higher maximum weight capacity

Here are some reasons you may prefer an incline/decline bench:

• More exercise possibilities with various inclines or decline positions
• The bench may be converted to a sit-up bench (in some cases)

Summing Things Up

Collapsible weight benches are ideal for small spaces for home and apartment setups. They can be folded flat and in some cases folded a second time into a cubed form for easy transport or storage.
