{"product_id":"active-power-v-utility-bench","title":"Active Power V Utility Bench","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Active Power V Utility 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStripped of marketing language: this is a bench for people who train consistently. Where a measurement matters to you, ask us and we will confirm it before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest suited to\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitting it into your space\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePoints to weigh up\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the other 108 benches we stock, this sits in the middle at R11 955 — the range runs R1 996 to R29 929, so there is room to move either way if the fit is not right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRubber feet protect flooring and stop the bench walking during heavy sets — worth checking they are intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor context on how often adults should be training muscle groups, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/physical-activity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"\u003eWorld Health Organization physical activity guidelines\u003c\/a\u003e are a sensible, independent starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUseful details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Active\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCategory: Benches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: V21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: new unless the listing states otherwise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee also \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/strength\"\u003eStrength\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/benches\"\u003eBenches\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/racks-and-cages\"\u003eRacks And Cages\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dumbbells\"\u003eDumbbells\u003c\/a\u003e, which tend to be bought alongside this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe practical gap between light and heavy-duty benches is not the badge, it is the rating: frame gauge, bearing quality and how easily wear parts can be replaced.
