What's up guys! In this video I compare the two most popular weight benches on Amazon, the FlyBird adjustable weight bench vs the Fitness Reality 2000 Super Max Xl High Capacity no gap adjustable weight bench. Both the FlyBird and Fitness Reality Benches can be purchased on Amazon and have over 4.5 stars with thousands of reviews. Both workout benches are foldable, but with the FlyBird being able to fold much smaller. The Fitness Reality 2000 is the newer or second version of the Fitness Reality 1000 super max bench which is reated 4.6 stars with almost 6000 reviews on Amazon. I recommend the FlyBird Adjustable weight bench for people who don't lift a ton of weight, are under 6'1 and want a bench that can fold away and be put out of sight. The FlyBird workout bench set has a weight capacity of 620lbs while the Fitness Reality Super Max Xl is rated at 850lbs. I recommend the Fitness Reality workout bench for people that are taller or want a very solid bench to lift alot of weight on for cheap. The Fitness Reality adjustable weight bench has the no gap seat option which is similar to the famous Rep Fitness Ab5000 Zero Gap bench which is one of my personal favorite benches. Both home gym workout benches have a leg attachment that make doing decline workouts perfect. If you are looking to do some decline ab work I recommend the Fitness Reality bench because it has a much better leg attachment for comfort and support. In the end the Fitness Reality 2000 Super Max Xl adjustable weight bench is my favorite workout bench for a home gym that's under $200.

@seapanther53 2 года назад

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.

@kavris8307 2 года назад

Hey Joel, this is the one I have. amzn.to/2NeuKNC It's not the best out there but has been working great for me.

@FireSun20 3 года назад

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 3 года назад

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.

Thanks mat for the in depth review best one by far on youtube!! I just bought this based on your review. it did cost me $331 in canada tho. The back rest kinda has me concerned a bit only at 9" but i have heard you can spin the back rest to get it around 10" or so.. do you know if this is true or not? Anyways i subscribed.

@MattTolbers 3 года назад

Yeah the back rest width is basically the only slight negative, but all the positives for the price out weigh that. During flat bench you can just sit upside down to get the wider back rest but obviously you can’t do that for incline or decline. I’ve heard others are already getting the wider back rest when they order so hopefully you do also

@Klingonmastr 2 года назад

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 2 года назад

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

I’m just a beginner and don’t lift heavy at all yet and I’m 5’10 150, would you still recommend the Fitness Reality over the Flybird for me?

@MattTolbers 3 года назад

Unless you want a bench that folds really small for storage I'd get the Fitness Reality 2000 or 1000.

@jabayalifts 3 года назад

Would you recommend the Fitness Reality 2000 or the Bowflex 5.1? I also do heavy barbell benching for incline and flat

@MattTolbers 3 года назад

If you do heavy barbell benching go with the fitness reality 2000 forsure

How high is the seat height for the fitness reality? I'm leaning towards ritfit since it's the lowest of all the budget fid benches.. I'm only 5'5"

@MattTolbers 2 года назад

It’s 18” high so about average for a bench. Should still be ok for you

Check out the Youten 1000 LB capacity bench.

Is the height of the fitness reality bench within 18in when folded? Want to know if it fits under my bed

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 3 года назад

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.

@studnts4elac 3 года назад

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 3 года назад

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 🙂

Found your chanel today - great reviews. I got the Bowflex 552's as a Christmas gift (I know, not your favorite) but was wondering what you think the best bench for an apartment would be - this Fitness Reality, or is there a better one on Amazon for under $300? Also, what should I put underneath it (on my bedroom carpet)? I am 5'10" and 185lbs if it matters. Thanks in advance!

@MattTolbers 3 года назад

Hey bro, the Fitness Reality should work great in your apartment. Best bench for the price on amazon. A Stall mat should work well even on semi thick carpet because it's so heavy it should flatten most of it out.

@e.m.8094 3 года назад

@@MattTolbers So, I ended up getting the Bowflex 5.1s. (I'm guessing that's the one you'll be reviewing soon) It's returnable, so if I don't like it I'll exchange it for the other one I guess. Hoping for the best.

@MattTolbers 3 года назад

Nice guess bro, you’re right lol! For the $300 and less the Bowflex 5.1s is amazing, that review will be dropping in a few days. What cool about you getting the bowflex bench is it will match your dumbbells 😀

@@MattTolbers Hey Matt. Great review! Just wondering if you posted the Bowflex 5.1s review yet. I tried a search on your channel but didn't see one yet. Thanks.

@MattTolbers 3 года назад

I’m recording it today and I’ll get it posted tomorrow evening. I drive for UPS and it’s super busy this time of year and then the holidays had to spend time with the fam. Now I’m on vacation this week and work slowed down so I can actually start posting a bunch of content. So sorry about the delay but excited to record it tonight and get it up tomorrow

@lm7692 3 года назад

I am thinking of getting this bench. If you have a moment, I hope you can help me. Did it arrive very well packaged? I'm thinking of getting it through Amazon and I am concerned about them flipping it around and ultimately receiving it looking like crap. 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 3 года назад

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. The padding feels great to me.

@bradevans3815 3 года назад

The seat could rip if the gap is zero and then you raise the backboard. Its talks about this in the instructions. Thats what some of the reviews were alluding too.

Is this bench adjustable for a 5’7 person from ground up? Thanks.

@MattTolbers 3 года назад

The fitness Reality 2000 should work great for you

@IIIllllIIIIlllll 3 года назад

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 3 года назад

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