GMWD Chest Press Machine, Bench Press Machine with Independent Converging Arms, Adjustable Flat Incline Bench for Chest, AB Workouts, Shoulder Home Gym Equipment

Pros: super easy to put together by yourself, though expect about 2 hours of time. Have an adjustable wrench and a socket handy. Sturdy, well made. the range of motion is exactly what i want and is a really unique take on a bench press, far better than the seated ones or using a smith machine. I'm in my 40's and still have the brain of a 25 year old lifter and I like that its a really safe way to lift heavier when i'm solo 285lbs felt stable! I have not tried decline, but really never liked decline benching so I don't think i'll mess with that. It's also very functional for shrugs, which IMO should be called out on the listing! The angle is perfect for them. Lastly it really takes up very little space. By flipping the bench upward it further saves space when not in use. Very small footprint. I'm beyond happy that something like this was available for the price range, and if I elect to add any other piece of equipment, I will be checking this company out.

I’m really impressed with the GMWD Chest Press Machine. Overall, this machine is smooth, solid, and genuinely a joy to use. The independent converging arms feel great during presses and allow for a very natural range of motion. Once set up, it feels sturdy and well-built, and it’s an excellent addition to a home gym for chest, shoulders, and even some ab work. There were a couple of minor downsides, but nothing that ruined the experience. Some of the arms arrived with dents, and the box didn’t include assembly instructions. That said, customer service was excellent — they quickly provided the instructions so I could start assembling right away and also offered a partial refund for the cosmetic damage, which I really appreciated. The pop pins can be a bit stiff to pull out at times, but for the price point and overall quality, it’s a small trade-off. All things considered, this machine delivers great value for the money. It performs smoothly, feels durable, and is backed by responsive customer support. I’m very happy with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their home gym without breaking the bank.

This is a fair and un-compensated review. This is a very sturdy and effective bench. I do not hesitate to recommend it. It is far more than a chest press. Its design lends itself to many more exercises. I especially like the space saving design. This works exactly as it should. Some of been critical of the instructions and assembly process. Are the instructions perfect, no. That said they are more than adequate. In places I wish the instructions were clearer, but again it is NO BIG DEAL. It is relatively easy to assemble. Everything lined up as it should and I had no issues with parts or hardware. I am very happy with this purchase. In fact, I purchased the ab machine from GMWD!

I really like this machine. I watched some YouTube reviews about it and thought it could work for what I need. A bench press like machine that I can max out to failure without risk of injury or needing a spotter. Combine that with the ergonomic arched range of motion that it has and I think this is a winner. I only knocked off one star because parts of the machine had dings and dents that I don't anticipate will affect functionality or durability. I had a socket wrench set but the nuts and bolts were mostly a bit too big so I had to use a monkey wrench and a small adjustable wrench. I wouldn't even try using the strange throwing star type wrench tool they included. Even with my meager tools I was still able to unbox and put together completely in under 2 hours. No doubt having the appropriate socket wrenches would have sped things up, but I don't believe you need two people to do this. The instructions were adequate, but they weren't as much instructions as they were very clearly labeled diagrams or explosions, showing each part clearly and where each different piece connects and which bolts go where. Surprisingly, the flip up feature does seem to save a lot of space, especially where I've placed this on my porch. One of the reviewers I read said that the bench pad was thin and cheap. The cushioning is plenty and I don't foresee any issues with it. Because I'm leaving this outside and I live in the desert with extreme hot and cold and rain and wind I modified the bench pad seat by leaving it inside the plastic bag, and then wrapping that in spare synthetic leather that I had left over from another project. I did this so that this bench can handle the extreme weather that is coming. Leaving the plastic bag on underneath my additional layer should protect the foam from the elements. I could certainly see how after a year or two outside in extreme heat and rain depending on the quality of the synthetic material that it might disintegrate. Hopefully with this modification I will just have to replace my outer layer but only time will tell. But considering I got this for under $180 in the red color, which looks awesome, even if the entire machine had to be replaced in a few years, the investment would be worth it. Again only one star knocked off because I don't know why there was dents and dings on several of the parts. But the only looks I care about are my future massive pectorals and back that I will get from using this machine.

I already have a good Smith Machine in my home gym, but I find that incline bench presses on the Smith hurt my shoulders (I do perform decline bench presses on the Smith without issues). I purchased this chest press machine from GMWD hoping to continue to build my upper/mid pectorals without injuring my shoulders in the process. Delivery: The machine arrived in perfect shape and I had no issues. It came right to my garage door. The shipping box was robust (heavy cardboard) and well sealed (strapping and heavy-duty tape)- no notable tears or holes. Unpacking: The machine inside of the box was thoughtfully packaged and took mere minutes to unpack and carry to my gym location. No parts were damaged in transit. Assembly: This machine was exceedingly easy to assemble with just a few tools and took me less than one hour in total to assemble (probably closer to 45 minutes). There were no problems - instructions were straightforward. Floorspace: The compact design of the GMWD Chest Press Machine takes up minimal valuable real estate in my home gym. I absolutely love that the full-length padded bench folds up off of the floor when not in use! This feature makes such a huge difference in reducing the machine's footprint - awesome! Quality and Construction: The chest press machine is attractively finished, looks great, and is rigid and sturdy. I am about 6 feet tall and 230lbs; I feel 100% secure while on this machine. There is no wobbling or creaking - solidly built. Using the GMWD Chest Press Machine: The machine is easy to load with weights. Getting under the lift handles is a breeze as they are supported by adjustable arms. The upward converging arc of the lifting arms is smooth and feels natural; I have not experienced any shoulder pain while performing chest presses! I love that I can exhaustively work my pecs without a spotter or any concern that I may aggravate my rotator cuffs. I feel significantly more taxing of my pectorals when performing converging chest presses using this machine versus bar bench presses. I am expecting great results in the coming months! Further, I like the plate storage spindles at the rear of the machine so I can park my weights locally after I finish my chest workout. I look forward to using this machine on chest day! Customer Service: I had a small issue with one of the parts being drilled incorrectly. I messaged GMWD here on Amazon and they promptly got back to me. They went out of their way to replace the part swiftly. They were kind and professional. I received the replacement part, and my chest press machine is now perfect! Value: This machine is a bargain at the current price. It amazes me that I can get a piece of equipment on this level at this price in 2024!! I highly recommend GMWD and this chest press machine.

Great little machine can work chest with out hurting my shoulders the incline position isn’t that great but not real bad. Well worth the money. Easy to put together too.

great chest press it was decently priced, easy to assemble and gives me the work out i need thank you to the seller

Edit: I am changing my 4 star to a 5 star. I reached out to the company concerning the missing handle sleeve. They immediately got back to me and assured me that they would send the sleeve right away. I received the sleeve a couple weeks later. Happy customer and happy with the workouts I have gotten with the chest press machine. Good quality and suitable for home gym. Easy to put together and a space saver. Great for the price. Unfortunately it came with only one handle sleeve. I reached out to the company and they said they would send one out. This was weeks ago and I haven't received a tracking confirmation as promised.

Great customer service! Easy to assemble! Works great...I have no issues with it! Awesome addition to my gym!

This machine is very simple and feels sturdy and robust. No squeaking, cracking or scratching noises. The two arms are sturdy and if you tighten the screws properly, you won't get any "loose" or sideways moving of the arms (as other reviews pointed out). I do suggest using power tools to assemble this product. The machine when folded takes very little space, once again not to sure why people complain about that.... as long as you don't expect a 6000$ value out of it, this machine will satisfy you 100% for the price. Finally, i didn't find any noticeable difference between this machine and the chest press that you would find in a commercial gym. Works as good as any "hammer strength" machine for less money.

This is a solid chest press machine for a home gym at a reasonable price! The converging arms feel very smooth when pressed. The height is adjustable, and you can use a flat position or set the bench for a slight incline to alternate arms. The bench also folds up. Don't expect to do shoulder presses, though, as the angle is too far forward. There are also ankle peg pads behind the bench for decline sit-ups, which work well, but you will need to place yoga blocks, foam, or something soft between the rack and your shins to make it comfortable. Putting it together was straightforward with the instructions; it only took me about an hour once everything was laid out. Overall, a great chest press machine!

Safe bench press. Good for working out alone.
