BARWING GT-617 Adjustable Weight Bench

Overview

Weighing about 32 pounds, the BARWING GT-617 is a black alloy steel bench built for home strength training rather than commercial gym duty. It suits shoppers assembling a first home gym who want a bench light enough to move.

At under 15 kilograms it sits on the lighter end of steel-frame benches, trading some of the planted stability a heavier frame offers for easier carrying and storage. Amazon's listing does not include a stated weight capacity, incline positions, or upholstery details, so check Barwing's own product page for those specifics before loading it with free weights.

• Alloy steel construction
• Item weight about 14.7 kg (32 lb)
• Black finish
• Category: Fitness & Exercise benches

Who it's for

Best suited to renters or apartment dwellers who need a bench they can lift and tuck away rather than leave bolted in place. Lifters chasing a documented high load rating for heavy barbell bench pressing will not find that confirmed here.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

How stable a bench feels under load comes down mostly to frame gauge, base width, and total mass anchoring it to the floor. At roughly 32 pounds, the GT-617 is lighter than many multi-position benches, so expect to brace your feet against the base during heavier presses rather than relying on the frame's own weight.
