I love that the Nordbench Pro is designed with injury prevention in mind. This is a 40th birthday present to myself, and no regrets! Adjustments are a little clunky starting out, but I think this may be due to new manufacturing and will 'break in.' I made sure everything was tight, and this thing is STURDY. Looking forward to years of use for a better me and to be there for my family.
I was excited when I ordered the Nordbench but after putting it together I’m even more excited! There’s so much that this bench can do. Exceptional engineering.
After a scary experience with a different back extension machine tipping over—resulting in a nasty fall—I was extremely cautious when assembling the NordStick Pro. I needed something that would hold fast and stay grounded, and this device has exceeded my expectations.
I primarily use it for high-volume sit-ups and back extensions to stay conditioned for my work cutting fire lines in the mountains. Even at 225 lbs and with aggressive reps, the device remains incredibly sturdy and secure.
While I haven't explored all the features yet, I’m looking forward to incorporating step-up lunges and elevated heel squats into my routine. If you're looking for a piece of equipment that is reliable, well-built, and tough enough for serious training, I’d highly recommend the NordStick Pro.
Cameron, this genuinely made our day, thank you! Knowing the NordBench Pro holds solid at 225 lbs through aggressive reps, especially after a scary experience with another machine, means everything to us. And a huge thank you for the incredible work you do out on those fire lines. You're going to love adding those step-up lunges and elevated heel squats into the mix. Keep crushing it!
This equipment is excellent. It is high-quality material and extremely versatile. It’s made for all types of strength levels and capabilities. I’m so glad I added this to my home gym.
That's awesome to hear, Brandon. Zero regrets is exactly what we love! Thank you for the kind words, and enjoy every session!
Hamstrings lengthening, stability and control help with all areas of athletics and fundamentals for basic activities of daily living. This device meets you at your level and helps modify exercises as you need. It also lends creativity and range with the attachments available. The Nordstick works as much as you work it!
I have been struggling with pain in my hips and SI joint for some time now. Stretching hasn't been working and it has gotten to the point that I've lost sleep. After taking time to address the imbalances in those areas and strength the surrounding muscles, I have finally found relief. The wide range of exercises available through the nord bench pro has proven invaluable in my recovery.
I couldn’t be happier with my purchase of the NordBench Pro. While it did take a while for the bench to arrive initially, once I reached out to Garrett about my situation, he immediately understood and had it shipped right away. That level of customer service is rare these days, and I truly appreciate the effort he made to help.
The NordBench Pro itself is excellen, very sturdy, well-built, and clearly made with quality materials. Assembly was straightforward thanks to the clear instructions provided, and everything fit together perfectly. It feels stable and durable during workouts, which was exactly what I was hoping for.
Garrett’s customer service truly goes above and beyond the norm. The company stands behind their product and takes care of their customers, which makes a huge difference.
Overall, I highly recommend the NordBench Pro to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality piece of equipment. Just be patient with the process, it’s absolutely worth the wait.
Super solid piece of equipment. Easy setup, great stability, and perfect for a home gym. Highly recommend.

While the versatility is there and it is an extremely useful tool for a home gym, it's not as sturdy/solid as I'd hoped. Still a worthwhile purchase nonetheless.
Fitness By June here — the NordBench Pro is solid, versatile, and built with serious quality. It’s a staple in my home gym and perfect for building real strength. Highly recommend!
Hi there! Love that it's become a staple in your setup! Thanks for recommending us and for the support!
I am very happy to use the nordbench pro. It was easy to assemble from the box and it also feels very sturdy. I have a chance to workout my major muscle groups that are important to me and all this in the comfort of my home. Worth every penny. The Band system was also a wonderful purchase with this bench. Would purchase this again if I have to.
Hi Alexander, thank you for the wonderful review and so glad the NordBench Pro and Band System are delivering for you at home! We really appreciate the feedback on shipping transparency too, you are absolutely right that setting clear expectations upfront makes a big difference and we are taking that to heart. Enjoy every session!
The Nordbench Pro really is amazing!! I could feel the good effects of the bench after one day of use. My abdominal muscles were very sore and strong. I am excited to see my abdominal muscles in one month!! I am very pleased with th bench and highly recommend it!
So many all in one thing so of course it can’t be a master at just one but it sure does feel like it can’t be, it’s pretty stable although could have more weight to make it seem thicker but I think the extra weight that would add would be absolutely pointless, really the only issue I had was when I tried to follow the video we had different parts it seems? I didn’t have two purple pins but he did, made me really not want to use their resources further so that’s why I didn’t give 5! My girlfriend got me this as a gift because I’m a personal trainer who loves longevity and knows its key and this bench helps that for sure!

Hi Austin, she clearly knows you well! We appreciate the honest feedback and want to own the pin confusion. They were upgraded to our new anti-wobble pins! A new setup video is also in the works, so improvements are coming. Love the dip suggestion too! Thanks for the kind words despite the hiccup!
Love how quickly I can get a full workout in with the equipment and how easy it is to change from exercise to exercise.
Thank you for the love! We designed the NordBench Pro with exactly that in mind, so hearing that it's saving you time and keeping your flow going means everything to us! Keep crushing it!
Hi Stacey! Thanks for sharing the photos and the kind words! Enjoy putting it to work!
Hi Scott! So glad you're loving it! Thanks for the support!
I received the Nordbench Pro about a week ago. This review is based on a week of daily use.
First impression: the Nordbench Pro is solid. Set up was easy...took about ten minutes. I tightened everything down and it is solid. I have no worries about using this aggressively.
My first impression was that it was much more robust than inwas anticipating. For the price this is an incredible deal. I was expecting it to feel cheap...but the steel is heavy and thick and everything feels high quality.
Dips are solid...no movement for me at all.
It has a small footprint and rolls up against the wall easily.
Adjustments are simple and smooth.
The footplate is useful. The pad is thick and comfortable.
Hi H.! So glad the quality exceeded your expectations right out of the box! Thanks for the detailed review and for putting it to work daily. Appreciate the support!
This NordBench based exercises is my everyday “morning coffee” routine after history of slipped disc x5 . Using daily habit of linking AM coffee with lower back exercises as investment for rebuilding my degenerative lumbar spine . Bench is brilliant .
Hi Michael! We're honored to be part of your daily rebuild routine! So glad NordBench is helping you invest in your spine health. Thanks for the feedback on shipping and for trusting us!
Easy to assemble
All exercises are performed comfortably
Only Con is once you get over 250lbs the equipment creeks and wobbles
Foam pad pops sounds like it may break when doing Nordic curls
When doing dips the equipment flex’s even with the added weight attachment
Overall it’s best suited for some under 250lbs
Hi Chad! Thanks for the detailed feedback! The NordBench Pro is actually rated for 500 lbs and tested to 1,250 lbs in every position, so it's built to handle your weight with no issues. The creaking and sounds you're hearing are normal and safe. For the wobbling, try tightening the bolts, that usually solves it completely. We do have workout exercise guides in PDF form that were sent to your order email, but you can also download them anytime here: https://thenordstick.com/pages/training-library. Thanks for the support!
I was a little skeptical at first, but after I’ve used it for a week this thing is solid. You get tons of options when it comes to working out. I am a 100% rated service connected disabled combat veteran and I have a bunch of injuries that make it hard to work out this Nordbench pro is absolutely fantastic and I can start off easy and work my way up to harder exercises. This is a game changer. Thank you so much for this product. Trust me it works my chest and arms are killing me lol.
Hi Robert! Thank you for your service, and we're so honored NordBench Pro is helping you work around your injuries and rebuild strength at your own pace. That's exactly what we designed it for! We're sorry about the thumb screw issue, that shouldn't have happened. Our team will reach out via email. Keep up the amazing work, and enjoy those gains!
Hi Julius! Love hearing this! Wishing you continued strength and progress. Thanks for the support!
