FBF1 Workout Bench

Thank you for purchasing the FITBENCH® FREE!
The FITBENCH FREE has product features that allow for a wide variety of workout options and is our first 100% made-in-the-USA bench! We made this bench with two things in mind: safety and durability! The FREE is made of a polyethylene composite material, making it light enough to take the bench with you to many different rooms or locations. The FREE has nonmarking rubber feet to ensure that it stays in place when it is in use. It also offers multiple storage compartments for your additional ccessories,  such as our Glutey Bands. The FREE’s bench  top has six different elevation positions so that you can do endless incline or decline exercises. The molded top is soft enough to lie on, but durable enough to act as a plyo box for step ups and box jumps. Its soft-close top ensures that fingers or limbs won’t be pinched. This all- in-one workout bench is the perfect addition to your home gym. We can’t wait for you to start crushing your workouts!

  • Customer Name and Address
  • Telephone Number
  • Email Address

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS and ACCESSORY PLACEMENT

The FITBENCH FREE requires the placement of the dumbbell stickers and the hook covers onto the bench. In addition, the user will need to place the dumbbell weights, slam ball, kettlebell, and FITBANDS® in their designated locations.
