Bowflex 5 1 stowable bench review. It s also worth mentioning that the 486 alternative. When you buy any piece of home gym equipment from bowflex you expect quality this reputable company builds some of the best highly rated fitness products out there and the bowflex 5 1s stowable bench is no exception. Bowflex offers multiple models of the selecttech series. That said i don t think bowflex is still producing the 5 1 bench.

The bowflex 5 1 bench is well made and appears to be good quality. With that being said if you are a smaller person the gap between the seat and the back pad might be too large and uncomfortable. Introducing our top of the line bowflex 5 1s stowable bench. The 5 1s weight bench is made from heavy duty commercial steel has a 600lb weight capacity an adjustable seat and most importantly is a full fid bench flat incline decline.

The bowflex 5 1 adjustable bench has six inclinations it starts from 17 degree decline flat 30 degree 45 degree 60 degrees and 90 degrees. This features added adjustability found on the bowflex 3 1 and 4 1 benches. The bowflex 5 1s stowable bench is one of the best out there. It is one sturdy comfortable bench for all kinds of people.

I m guessing this is because the 5 1s is newer and nautilus decided to change the time frame up. There is the 3 1 the 5 1 and the 5 1s. Read honest and unbiased product reviews from our users. This heavy duty commercial quality steel design was engineered to be stored vertically reducing its footprint by more than 50 when not in use.

Our first impressions of this bench were that. Surprisingly the 5 1 has a 30 year warranty on the frame where the 5 1s only has a 15 year warranty. The 5 1s is the newest model in the series. So bowflex selecttech 5 1 while being a pricier option tends to get more favorable reviews than the 486 bowflex 5 1s as seen on the chart below.

Built for optimal workout versatility the 5 1s features 6 different adjustment angles and a 272 kg load capacity. With these six inclinations you can perform a number of exercises and in a number of different ways. The box i received was not damaged but everything inside the box was kind of loose and moving around it appeared. However it s fairly safe to say that bowflex 5 1s is a more popular weight bench based on its 2 000 reviews.

Suffice to say that the 5 1s is the updated and improved version of the 5 1. It can be solved by putting some comfy item in between the gap though.
