Exercise Benches for Home Gyms


Shop adjustable FID, flat and folding exercise benches, plus attachments, and find the bench that fits your training.

An exercise bench is a padded platform that supports your body for strength exercises such as bench presses, shoulder presses, rows and curls. It is one of the most useful additions to a home gym, because a single gym bench works with dumbbells, a barbell and a rack.

At Trojan Fitness, our bench collection covers adjustable FID benches, the Trojan SX1 Elite Commercial adjustable bench, folding and flat benches, and ab and specialist benches. Some listings add a leg developer, preacher pad, dumbbell rack or weights, and separate attachments are also available. To choose the right workout bench, compare the exercises you plan to do, your space, the stated capacity and the equipment you already own.

Types of Exercise Benches in Australia

Flat Benches

A flat bench holds one position, which keeps the design simple. The trade-off is no incline or decline. Trojan lists flat benches, including a foldable model and one with a dumbbell storage rack.

Adjustable (FID) Benches

FID benches change between flat, incline and decline positions. The trade-off is more moving parts, so check the adjustment mechanism and stability.

Commercial Adjustable Benches

The Trojan SX1 Elite Commercial Adjustable Bench is also sold with a preacher or leg extension attachment. Check each listing for its stated capacity and adjustment range.

Foldable Benches

Models such as the Bodyworx C412FB and C320UB, and the Trojan folding flat, incline and decline bench, can suit smaller spaces. Check how the fold mechanism affects stability.

Specialist and Attachment-Equipped Benches

This group includes ab benches, a Roman chair, a seated calf raise bench, TriaTrainer 3-in-1 physio exercise benches and FID benches with a leg developer or preacher pad. They expand your exercise options but add footprint and cost.

What Exercises Can You Do on an Exercise Bench?

An exercise bench supports pressing, rowing, curling and leg exercises, and the options grow with an adjustable backrest or attachments.

  • On a flat bench: bench press, dumbbell press and dumbbell fly
  • On an FID bench: incline and decline presses
  • Seated with an upright backrest: shoulder press
  • Supported by the bench: one-arm dumbbell row and triceps extension
  • With attachments, where included: preacher curl, leg extension and leg curl

Benefits of an Exercise Bench for Your Home Gym

A weight training bench turns dumbbells and a barbell into a far wider range of exercises.

  • Train When It Suits You: a bench at home means no travel and no waiting, so your session fits your day.
  • One Bench, Plenty of Exercises: presses, rows, flyes and curls can all be done on a suitable bench.
  • Different Angles With Adjustable Models: FID benches let you change the angle of the backrest for flat, incline and decline work.
  • Space-Smart Fitness Equipment: folding benches and models with built-in dumbbell storage racks can help in smaller rooms, depending on the model.
  • Room to Build On: some benches accept attachments such as leg developers and preacher pads, so your setup can grow with you.

How to Choose the Right Exercise Bench

Check these points before you decide:

  • Bench type and exercises: list your regular exercises, then match a flat, adjustable or specialist bench to them.
  • Fixed or adjustable positions: adjustable benches offer more variety; fixed benches are simpler.
  • Weight capacity: compare the manufacturer's stated capacity with your body weight and the heaviest loads you expect to use. No single figure suits everyone.
  • Frame, stability and base: look at the frame construction, base design and locking features in the specifications.
  • Backrest and seat: check the dimensions, padding and adjustment range.
  • Foldability and storage: if space is tight, check how the bench folds and how much room it needs.
  • Floor space: leave room to get on and off the bench and to move dumbbells.
  • Compatibility: check how the bench works with your barbell, dumbbells and any rack.
  • Attachments and inclusions: check whether attachments or weights are included or sold separately, as not every attachment fits every bench.
