| Regardless of price, the Apex Roman/Hyperextension Bench is an excellent product. Made from high grade materials that give it a commercial gym feel. Went together easily with adequate instructions and all parts were present. No need to spend more on a product of this type. Highly recommended |

 "Great For Your Back" | 2008-09-21 |

| I bought this product because a friend recommended it to me. We both were having lower back pain problems. I've been using it now for about 4 weeks, and it works great. At first it looks like there's not much to it or something's missing. The workout is almost exclusively for your lower back. My friend bought one after having problems with a sciatic nerve. I was worried I was going to have the same issues. I use it twice daily. I do 15 reps in the morning before work and 15 more before going to bed. A total of about 10 minutes. It's great. |

| This does just what I need it to: allows me to exercise my lower back. I find it to be plenty stable; haven't had a single problem. I have also been using it for biceps curls: Holding a dumbbell in each hand, stand in front of the bench, crouch with your chest against the the pad, rest your triceps on the flat part of the pad, and do curls. This isolates the biceps and eliminates back strain. |

| Good solid value for the money. The chair is suprisingly stable and is a good piece for a home gym. The pading could have been alittle thicker but overall a good value. |

| Very pleased with this item. The parts were packaged in a well-protected manner. The manufacturer labeled the parts very well. I was able to match the proper part with the related instruction without any confustion on my part. When it comes to attaching the seat to the seat plate, and the seat plate and handlebars to the post, just double check that everything is going in the appropriate direction before attaching them. The seat plate and the handlbars are attached to the post at the same time. The handlebars have a slant to them. I mention this in passing because I don't know if the instructions weren't clear enough, or if it was me which is why I still gave it 5 stars. Everything else was easy to understand. Even though I didn't have the seat plate in the correct direction, it was very easy for me to correct my mistake. I took my time in assembling it, but I was still able to complete it within a couple of hours. For someone more experienced in assembling equipment, it might take less time. The instructions said that you needed to use two adjustable Allen wrenches, but I found that I didn't need them. Anyway, one does come with the unit. Some consumers found that the unit was wobbly. I did not find it so. I found the unit to be very stable. I thought that there could be another explanation causing the item to be wobbly which is why I wasn't deterred from buying it. If you're looking for a quality hyper-extension bench, I feel that you cannot go wrong with the Apex. It's a great product with a bonus of a great price. |

| I was looking for a hyper extension bench that was built as well as the commercial ones in the gym. This is an amazing product for the cost. It works excellent and I am 6 ft tall. All of these people who say they are too tall for it are doing the exercise wrong. Lower the pads and have them at lower calf level. There is no way that you will hit the floor unless you are 7 1/2 feet tall. The directions could be a little more clear to put it together. My 11 yr old son was able to tell me that we had one of the peices backwards which is why the seat was coming out backwards. All in all, an excellent purchase. |

| Good quality, arrived on time, but the structure seems unstable and when I have all my weight on one end the other side lifts off the ground a bit; I have to place one of my 25lbs dumbbells on the opposite side to keep safe. Other than, it is a great work out equipment. |
