[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-01-21 Summary: Does the Job! ... This is a great little bench! Setup took about 15 minutes. The instructions were clear and each part easily identified. It feels really sturdy and has a nice decline position. The small problem I had is that it came with some silver stickers reading "SB410" that were peeling and flaking which takes away from the looks. Looks didnt really play a big part in my purchase anyway though. I would definitely recommend it. Actually one of my buddies tried to buy it off me already! No my brother, you gots to get your own! ...more

It's a challenge and a good workout for me. It's fun and I really feel like I'm accomplishing something. I would recommend it to anyone who likes kickboxing. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-01-17 Summary: The kickboxing workout I have yearned for! ... The kickboxing workout on this is fantastic! It is high intensity and really gets your heart pumping.
