Great bench, sturdy and high-quality.

I own the version without the handle and with mesh padding. The bench is superbly packaged and very easy and quick to assemble. It stands very stable. The padding is quite hard, but it doesn't bother me much. However, this time I have one point to criticize, which is why I deduct 1 star from my rating:
There seem to be some residues left in the welded tube, which cause noise when moving and setting up the bench.

First of all, a HUGE shoutout to customer service, which answered my questions promptly, kindly, and competently (via email and chat). Excellent service!
Delivery and Assembly:
The bench is excellently packaged, providing great protection against transportation damage. With only 8 screws and 4 parts, it's ready to use. Tools are not included, but assembly is quick with a ratchet and 14mm & 19mm sockets, which most people should have at home. The bench is ready for use in about 10 minutes.
Frame:
The frame is slightly different from the pictures. The handle on the front leg is no longer included (though customer service had already informed me of this). I don't miss the handle, as the bench can still be easily moved on the smooth-running transport wheels. Its T-shape design ensures stability even on uneven floors (tested without using bombs).
Padding:
The padding is also slightly different from the pictures. There is now an Atletica logo on the cover, which looks really good. The padding is pleasantly firm yet comfortable. The texture of the cover prevents any sliding during bench presses, which is great!
Conclusion:
I've seen benches in public gyms that don't come close to the quality of the B1. Especially for this price, I wholeheartedly recommend it!

First of all, huge kudos to customer service, who have always been friendly, prompt, and competent in answering all my questions beforehand (via email and chat). I'm becoming a fan of your brand :-)
Now, about the bench:
The current version is slightly different from the pictures here in the shop. For example, the front handle is missing (but you really don't need it), and there's an Atletica logo embedded in the lying surface. It looks good.
The frame seems super solid. Thanks to the T-shape of the frame, it sits firmly on the ground (even if it's not 100% flat), and there's absolutely no wobbling or clattering. The padding is nice and firm, and the surface is rough enough that you don't slip a millimeter, even when sweaty.
The straightforward, "no nonsense" design is exactly to my taste.
Unpacking and assembling it alone took about 10 minutes. No tools are included, but I think most people will have a ratchet and 14 mm and 19 mm sockets (or alternatively 14 mm and 19 mm open-end wrenches / box-end wrenches).
I doubt there's a better bench for the price elsewhere.
I look forward to every further workout with this bench and highly recommend it.

I have an adjustable bench and a flat bench from you. Sensational quality for a great workout! Thank you!
Maximilian M.
Top-notch bench! It doesn't slip at all and is very stable!
Achim W.
Perfect bench for bench pressing.

I've been looking for an affordable yet stable flat bench for a while. I found the B1. It stands almost immovable during all exercises and thanks to the transport wheels and the vertical storage option, it can be conveniently put away after training. The padding is quite firm, the powder coating is high-quality, the weld seams are clean, and the customer service is friendly—what more could you want? 100% recommendation!
René C.
I'm more than satisfied. It is extremely stable with a top-notch cushion. Nothing wobbles or squeaks. In short, it's unbeatable for the price. Tested so far with 160 kg on the bench.

I can only fully agree with the previous reviews. Full five stars. In summary: Top quality, well-made, very stable, also looks really good, fast delivery, and a great service team. What more could you want. What hasn't been mentioned yet, because it's obviously a given with Atletica, is the top-notch packaging of the goods. Competitors are sometimes abysmal, as they are minimally packed. This results in dents and damages to the parts, because the much too thin cardboard has torn or had holes. And the parts were not sufficiently secured and packed inside. Atletica's packaging is top-notch, inside and out. With good and stable outer packaging. Just as the customer desires. Should be mentioned. Keep it up.

Great bench and unbeatable value for money! Would recommend it to everyone again and again.
Matthias S.
Due to the good experience with my first order (adjustable bench), I also ordered the B1 flat bench and I am just as thrilled! Super solid (like in the studio), delivered in 2 days and top price-performance!
Antonio V.
Great product. Highly recommended.
Anne & Brian G.
Is good, the surface a little too soft, thereby forms wrinkles.
Sven R.
Good quality, good price, fast delivery. Very satisfied.
Julian H.
Solid heavy bench. Easy to assemble.
Michael M.
Great & solid product. Only the color is more grey than black.
Johanna V.
perfect robust material, solid and stable during workout. 100% recommendable.
Martin L.
Really cool weight bench. Stable and very good quality.
Tim G.
Neatly welded flat bench with flawless workmanship, it feels better than most benches in the gym.
The bench is super stable, perfect for heavy weights and a bit harder than the well-known Life Fitness benches, which personally suits me.
The customer service is top-notch, I had a small problem and it was taken care of right away.
Armin B.
Great product, great service, and fast delivery. I ordered the bench at about 10 PM and it had already reached me by 4 PM the next day. The 'build quality' also makes a solid impression and is comparable to other products from established manufacturers, like ATX, for example. I think I will have this bench in use for a long time.
