Fitness Bench

Whip your home gym into shape with a fitness bench from Harvey Norman.

Thinking of setting up a home gym? You’re not alone. Thousands of Australian fitness enthusiasts now choose to set up their own equipment to train in their own time. It’s convenient, often cheaper, and means there’s no excuse for not getting your workout in!

While many people may consider home gyms to involve treadmills, cross trainers or other cardio machines, there’s nothing to say your home gym must be huge. If lifting weights is your activity of choice, all you need are few essential pieces of equipment to get you started.

Besides the weights themselves, one of the most important pieces for a home training gym is a weight bench. These useful benches are there to make sure you’re perfectly positioned to perform at your best and avoid injury. Providing a solid, cushioned and stable platform for you to lie on while lifting, the bench provides support for your back and ensures you don’t end up breaking your furniture, or, more importantly, yourself!

 You can find weights or fitness benches from a range of different brands, but when heavy weights are involved it’s advisable to invest in a good quality item to ensure it’s safe. Adidas Fitness benches or PowerTrain Fitness Benches are both reputable brands with very popular equipment for lifters.

Of course, fitness benches don’t have to be used only for lifting. Their adjustable settings mean that you can use it for all kinds of workouts, whether you’re lying on it, performing press-ups on it or jumping over it! Invest in an adjustable fitness bench for your home gym and you’ll be amazed how many workouts incorporate this piece of equipment into the moves.

No matter what you’ll use your workout bench for, grab yourself a great quality purchase from the fantastic selection at Harvey Norman.
