[@seapanther53]

I've had the Fitness Reality for over 14 months now. Working out 5 times a week with heavy weight sets in all positions this bench proves to be sturdy. The quality in most areas of the bench is very good for the price and weight of the bench. Where it fell short was the stitching, padding, and cover. The stitching has since become loose (did not become undone......yet), the padding is still good but is becoming more squishy and worn, the cover (material covering the pad) tore where the two pads meet (the zero gap point) bc this is where the most flex from the pad occurs and the cover is just not that strong. I'm currently looking for a higher quality bench, however, if FR sells replacement pads I may just purchase that, depending on the price. Why? Because the frame is is great and sturdy, I want an FID ladder adjustable bench, I like that it's lightweight, I like the bottom feet come out like they do so I can use my loop bands on them, and the price of similar benches will be about $600-$800.

The Flybird Bench seems like a good decent bench compared to one of those cheaper Marcy/Weider benches. The one main complaint seems to to be the height of the bench. I saw a Reebok flat bench that was also 21 inches tall and that seems a bit too tall for doing bench presses. It also makes the think really wobbly which isn't good.

[@MattTolbers]

Yeah being 21” high is the main issue with it. Folds up nicely though

[@IIIllllIIIIlllll]

would the fitness reality bench stand up on its own against a wall in a closet when it is fully folded (like around 9:37), not just when it stands up on its own at 9:32?

[@MattTolbers]

If you lean it up against something it will, but not if it’s standing on its own.

[@jameslavis4660]

do you have the height when folded?

[@FireSun20]

Hey Matt awesome video! Just noticed that you installed the wheels on the wrong side according to the manual. I just received my bench and was wondering if you noticed any issues having the wheels/base installed the way you have it. Seems like moving the bench would be much easier with your method than the one recommended in the manual. I'm considering reattaching it the same way you have to have a "handle" (support plate) to pull the bench. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[@MattTolbers]

Hey, yeah you're right lol! It doesn't really matter which side you put it on though. It works great for me this way, but if you like to pick it up super high before rolling it, it may be better the way the manual shows because the leg attachment may rub the ground if not. If you don't use the leg attachment on it the way I showed would be easier to move it with.

Im short on space so im curios how long in length is the fitness reality without the foam thing at the end for sit-ups

[@jkuang]

The leg lock still wobbles even after I screw in the nob. It feels stable using a hand shaking it. But as soon as you start using your leg, you can feel that it wobbles. Is there any way to make it absolutely not wobble? It feels very uncomfortable having your leg wobbles a bit when you are doing crunches.

[@MattTolbers]

If you have it tight it shouldn't wobble very much. If it's still bothering you maybe invest in the Rep Fitness AB5000 which will be even more solid.

[@DeepTitanic]

heya! Can this bench do incline situps without putting it on a box like you did in the video?

[@MattTolbers]

Yes but not going to get as deep an angle

[@jonf35]

Can you tell me please whether this 2000 XL bench can stand upright when folded (am guessing it must be leaned against a wall or stabilized at the bottom)? Also what is the height both with and without the leg attachment, when folded and rested horizontally?

Matt, love your reviews! Solid!👏interested in you reviewing ER KANG Bench, Kingkang Bench, Ritfit 2.0 bench and FISUP Bench. Thank you Sir! 💪 PS... I ordered the Fitness Reality 2000, the REP AB 2300 are out of stock.

can you compare this to the 1000 version? The back rest width is small at 9 and 10 inches. when most other benches are 12 inches. it is reversible but many of the reviews do point this out. can you talk more on this? and also address some of the 1-3 reviews found on amazon?

[@MattTolbers]

Yeah the back rest is a little more narrow then average, but I personally don't like super wide back rest so feels great to me and think most won't have any issue with that. I will order the 1000 soon and do a comparison 🙂

[@studnts4elac]

@@MattTolbers nice!!!! Thanks

[@JohnnyLawrence293]

hey do you have this issue with yours? even with the seat all the way to the front, if i raise the back to 85 degrees, it's still pressing against the back of the seat cushion and making an indent. kind of worried about the longevity of that area . wish it left more of a gap there when the back is all the way up. thought leaving it in the gap position would make no contact.

[@hankfink]

Thanks for this kind of review. I have the money for the better quality but not the space and this is a happy medium until all this COVID crap is over. 👍

[@MattTolbers]

No problem and I agree. This bench is about as good as it gets for that price range and when higher end benches become more available and prices aren't so high you can upgrade.

[@joecircosts804]

I’m 5’9”. I would have originally thought the fly bird would be a better option because the seat length is not as long as the fitness reality, however the 21inch height from the floor really throws me off. In your opinion, do you think at my height the fitness reality would still be a good option for flat/incline/decline benching although it is a little longer in length? Looks like a beast of a bench!

I have read several reviews that talk about cheap stitching coming apart, padding not being firm enough, etc. Can you tell me that I will be getting a bench that is well worth the purchase?

[@MattTolbers]

The bench came packed very well, I’m sure very few of them get damaged. If it happens to be damaged just return it, Amazon is very easy to return. The stitching is pretty good, but not perfect. If some stitching starts coming lose just buy some red thread and stitch it back up, easy fix. You gotta realize to get that nice of a bench for that low of a price you may have to deal with something minor like thread coming lose. I highly recommend this bench over any other under $200.
