Active Incline Press Bench

The Active Incline Press Bench is one of the benches options we supply to gyms and home setups across South Africa, made by Active. Here is what it does and who it suits.

In plain terms, this is a bench intended for regular use rather than occasional. Full specifications are shown on this page and in the product images.

Best suited to

Think garage gyms building around a rack, and pressing, rowing and accessory work at home or in a facility. Those are the situations where this piece makes the most sense.

Fitting it into your space

Confirm the pad height against your rack J-hooks. A mismatch there changes the press position and is awkward to work around later.

Points to weigh up

If the bench adjusts, check how easily the ladder or pop-pin moves under load, and how many positions it actually offers between flat and upright.

Priced at R13 999, it is the 79th of 108 benches we list (R1 996 to R29 929). Worth comparing before you settle.

Wipe the upholstery down after sessions. Sweat is what degrades vinyl, and a torn pad is the usual reason a bench gets replaced before its frame is worn.

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

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.
