SportsRoyals 750 Lb Workout Bench Review: Is This Adjustable Bench And Band Set Worth It?

I have tested a lot of benches in my garage over the years, and most of them fall into one of two buckets: cheap and wobbly, or great but priced like a car payment. The SportsRoyals 750 lb capacity workout bench landed somewhere I did not expect, and the resistance band set it ships with is the part that surprised me most. The company reached out and sent this one over so I could put it through its paces, and after living with it I have some real thoughts on who this bench is actually built for.

What You Actually Get in the Box

This is not just a bench. It is a bench plus a four-piece resistance band set, and that combination is what makes it interesting. Two bands anchor at the front of the frame and two anchor at the rear legs. That means you can buy this thing, put it together, and start training the same afternoon without owning a single dumbbell.

As a certified personal trainer, that matters more than people realize. The biggest reason home gym plans die in week two is friction. If your new bench requires a separate $300 dumbbell purchase before you can use it, that is friction. This one removes it.

Build Quality and Frame Construction

The frame is all steel. Not steel legs with a plastic-reinforced body, not a hybrid, but steel through the legs and through the main body of the bench. When I sat down and started moving actual weight, there was no creak and no lateral shift, which is the number one thing I look for. A bench that flexes under you is a bench you will stop trusting, and a bench you do not trust is one you stop using.

The padding is firm rather than plush. I prefer that on a pressing bench. Soft foam feels great for about three seconds and then your shoulder blades sink into it and you lose your arch and your scapular retraction. This pad holds its shape.

Seven Adjustment Levels: Incline, Flat, and Decline

Seven back rest positions is the headline spec, and the reason it matters is the decline. A huge number of adjustable benches in this price range give you flat and incline and stop there. This one goes to decline, which unlocks decline presses and, more importantly for most people, proper anchored sit-ups and decline core work.

Practically, here is how I use the positions:

Flat: bench press, dumbbell rows, hip thrusts with your back on the pad
Incline: incline press, seated curls, seated shoulder work, incline rear delt flyes
Decline: decline press, weighted sit-ups, decline crunches, leg raises

Form cue while you are in there: on incline work, do not let the bench dictate your shoulder position. Set your back, pull your shoulder blades down and back into the pad, then press. The adjustment range is a tool, not an excuse to let your form drift.

The Adjustable Leg Posts (My Favorite Detail)

This is the part nobody puts on the box, and it is the part I like most. The leg posts and foam cushions let you wrap your legs around the bottom and lock in underneath your knees. That does two things: it gives you real stability during decline and sit-up work, and the foam pads keep it from being miserable on your shins.

Better yet, the bottom post is adjustable. I have long legs, so I push mine further down. If you are shorter, you unscrew the knob on the back and scoot it up a couple of notches. That single adjustable knob is the difference between a bench that fits you and a bench you tolerate.

The Four Resistance Bands and How They Work

Let me be straight with you: these are lightweight bands. They are not going to replace a rack full of plates, and they are not meant to. What they are is a genuinely useful on-ramp.

Two bands attach at the front for pressing and raise movements. I have used them for side lateral raises, which hit the delts and, when you control the descent, get the traps and lats involved on the way down. The other two wrap around the rear legs with a strap. They do not bolt on permanently, you just loop them.

The reason I like having four instead of two is simple: I never have to stop mid-workout to switch. Front bands stay in front, rear bands stay in back, and I just grab whichever set the next exercise needs. Small thing, big deal when you are trying to keep your rest periods honest.

One more use nobody mentions: on bench presses I wrap my legs around the frame and use the rear bands to add a little controlled resistance. It makes the whole setup feel more locked in and steady.

750 Lb Capacity for the Heavy Lifters

If you already own weights, forget the bands for a second. The 750 lb weight capacity means this bench is not the limiting factor in your training. Bicep curls, chest presses, incline, flat, decline, dumbbell rows, whatever you are running, the bench handles it.

That number is what moves this from beginner gear to something an experienced lifter can keep in the rotation. A lot of band-included benches top out around 400 or 500 lb and quietly become a beginner-only product. This one does not.

Assembly: How Long It Really Took

Easiest assembly I have done in a while. The majority of the frame arrives in one piece. What I had to do was add the feet, add the lower seat section (not the upper pad, that was already on), and attach the foam pieces around the leg posts. That is it. Instructions were clear and I was not hunting for hardware.

Honestly, this is how it should be. Workout equipment should not be complicated. It should not be hard to use. It should be something you can adjust to fit you comfortably so you can do more work in your home gym instead of fighting your gear.

Who This Bench Is For

Total beginners: yes. You get a bench and resistance in one purchase and can start immediately.

Intermediate lifters with some dumbbells: yes. The seven adjustment levels and the decline option cover most of what you would program.

Advanced lifters moving serious weight: also yes, thanks to the 750 lb capacity. You will probably ignore the bands, and that is fine.

People who need a bench that folds flat into a closet: this is not that. It is a real steel bench and it takes up real space.

Final Verdict

If you are looking for a bench with multiple adjustment levels, not just at the back rest but down at the legs too, and you want something that works for a complete beginner or an experienced lifter or somebody in between, the SportsRoyals workout bench belongs on your list to check out. The all-steel frame is stable, the decline position gives you exercises most benches at this level cannot, the adjustable leg post is a genuinely thoughtful touch, and the included bands mean nobody has an excuse to wait before starting.
