Active Adjustable Multi Function Bench

If you are putting together a space that has to work every day rather than look good once, the Active Adjustable Multi Function Bench is worth a close look. It comes from Active and forms part of our benches lineup.

Stripped of marketing language: this is a bench for people who train consistently. Stated details include an adjustable design.

Who it suits

It works best for pressing, rowing and accessory work at home or in a facility, and commercial floors needing benches that survive daily use. Outside that, there may be a better match in the range — ask us.

Getting it in place

Check the footprint against your rack and platform. A bench needs room to load and unload plates either side, not just space for the frame itself.

Before you decide

Look at the frame gauge and the welds rather than the upholstery. That is what carries the load, and it is what separates a home bench from a commercial one.

Against the other 108 benches we stock, this sits in the middle at R5 934 — the range runs R1 996 to R29 929, so there is room to move either way if the fit is not right.

Rubber feet protect flooring and stop the bench walking during heavy sets — worth checking they are intact.

For context on how often adults should be training muscle groups, the World Health Organization physical activity guidelines are a sensible, independent starting point.

Key points

• Brand: Active
• Category: Benches
• SKU: US213
• Stated: an adjustable design
• Condition: new unless the listing states otherwise

Browsing options? Strength, Benches, Racks And Cages and Dumbbells are the categories most people compare this against.

Commercial and home equipment differ mainly in duty cycle — how many hours a day the frame, bearings and upholstery are designed to take. Equipment built for occasional use will usually survive a home routine comfortably but will not last on a busy floor, and the difference shows in the parts you cannot see rather than the finish.
