To be fair this unit was discounted from $1600cdn to roughly half that. Still…there are some things that are not quite like the web images describe. The “stainless” position selectors are thin sheeting riveted to achieve the look and the pads themselves are secured with far too few bolts. I don’t see how this can achieve the weight capacity ratings they publish. Not important imo however. The wheels are tiny and substandard, if your floor is at all irregular like mine, they make it tough to roll it.
The bench does work as an advertised however but be sure to get it on sale.
Great machine, Excellent Quality at half the price of Precor!
Easy to assemble, Recommend to anyone who wants this kind of exercisor!
The Treadmill Company did a great job, was quick for shipping through UPS, although, UPS did a poor job of shipping, for two days in a row on tracking info they confirmed delivery, but didn't show up. After calling they said it was because of the weight and that they needed 2 men to deliver. Although tracking said it had left the warehouse, it never did. When I finally received the delivery, there was only one man......Never had such bad service with UPS. So if you order and you get confirmation, better call them first to make sure they will deliver as promised!!!!!
Q:Is it possible to adjust the leg extension downwards or put it in a position where your legs aren't behind the leg extension? It seems like there would be some difficulty to have free movement of your legs when you're trying the lift the weights off your knees for heavy lifts

Q:How easy and comfortable is it to get into position to do heavy decline dumbbell bench presses on this bench? Is the front edge of the seat wide enough to hook the backside of my knees for it?

A:This is an incredible and very heavy duty bench. The seat pad is wide enough for sure to be able to comfortably hold you while you do decline press.

Q:Hi - I'm just looking at your Element Fitness Thorium FID Bench, what is the hydraulic for on the bench? For resistance while doing a leg extension, and if so is it adjustable to raise and lower the resistance? Thanks!

A:It does not have a leg extension option. The round pads are to hold your feet for ab crunches. The hydraulic is to assist raising the entire seat assembly.
