Default do they make foldup weight benches

I am hoping someone can help me. I would like to get a weight bench but I live in a small house. I was wondering if they make them so they fold up.

thanks

Well, I haven't used it but PowerBlock makes a Travel Bench that folds away.



Another option would be to score one of those Reebok Steps off eBay and use it as a bench or get an inflatable Swiss Ball...

Check out fitness supplies in google. There are a lot of companies that sell portable equipment to trainers.

I used to use my coffee table but it wasn't very comfortable or real good for the table.

I was using my coffee table but the leg is starting to go on it. I never thought about using a step as a weight bench.

I use my step for a bench and it works fine. I can rig it up with a step ladder and use all the risers on one side for a higher bench. This also works well for leg presses using a tall step. I can also make an incline out of it and that works well too. It all comes apart and stores well. Good luck.
