UBench 17.5kg Rubber Hex Dumbbell

The UBench 17.5kg Rubber Hex Dumbbell is one of the benches options we supply to gyms and home setups across South Africa, made by UBench. Here is what it does and who it suits.

Stripped of marketing language: this is a bench for people who train consistently. Stated details include 17.5kg and rubber construction.

Best suited to

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.

Fitting it into your space

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.

Points to weigh up

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 118 benches we stock, this sits in the middle at R1 087 — the range runs R70 to R90 612, 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.
