267 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other home gym and fitness equipment we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The SUB1604's defining feature among adjustable benches at this price is its folding design, which trades a little stability for significant storage convenience. At 27.6 pounds it is heavier than the lightest benches in this category but still manageable for a solo lift and fold. The alloy steel frame keeps construction quality above plastic-heavy entry-level alternatives.
The red colorway is either a selling point or a deal-breaker depending on your preference. Most home gym equipment in this price range is black, so the SUB1604 stands out visually. The 4.3-star rating from 267 buyers suggests real satisfaction, and 100 monthly purchases confirm ongoing demand.

Performance notes
At 27.6 lbs the SUB1604 is not the lightest folding bench, which is often a sign of a sturdier fold mechanism. The alloy steel frame should handle dumbbell presses and bodyweight exercises reliably at moderate loads. Folding benches at this price are generally best used for light to moderate work; avoid loading them near their unlisted capacity limit without confirming that figure.
