Extension/Flexion de jambe

There was much anticipation to receive my NordBench Pro. Installation was not overwhelming with the right tools. The unit is sturdy and attractive. I truly appreciate its ability to fold away for storage. I plan to get ample use out of it.

Having some back pain and training for my next ultra. This has been a game changer for me. Love it and all the variations I can do are perfect for my rehab and training.

Arrived yesterday. Simple to assemble and start using immediately. The heavy gauge steel and welding was better than most equipment out there. I can’t wait to start exploring all of the different exercises that I can do on this machine.

We’ve been using the NordBench Pro and really like how many different exercises you can do on one machine. My boyfriend is training for the UFL, and he’s been excited to work it into his training and use it to help reach his goals. It’s such a cool, versatile piece of equipment, and it’s nice having so many workout options in one place. Great addition to our home gym and very easy to assemble.

Just finished my first week of workouts with the nordbench pro.

Shipping
The stories of the bench taking a good while to ship after ordering are true I got my bench over a month after shipping, significantly after the shipping estimate, and I had to reach out to get update on shipping. Their customer service team was pretty quick to respond with info, and it was shipped within a week of their update.

Assembly
Assembly was pretty easy. They did not include the required wrenches to which was not a problem as I have my own socket set which I prefer to use. Some of the pictures in the instructions were hard to see where the bolts went, but it was pretty intuitive to figure it out. Some of the welds look sloppy, but not where I am worried about it coming apart. I fully understand it's a cost cutting measure.

Use
I have used the bench for Nordic curls, and back extensions. The leg rest feels nice, and I do like the ability to adjust it. The bench is a bit wobbly, but I don't feel like I am going to fall over, and I am a big guy Doing the curls and the back extensions feels rather nice. Moving the bench is a little awkward as you have to reach under the bench to fold the ladder strut back to collapse it. Once it's collapsed, it's easy to move.

All it all, I am happy with my purchase.

Great build quality and ease of assembly. Adds a whole new component to my home gym workouts.

Set up was a breeze and working out on the bench has been an easy and fun experience. I am so happy that I found this bench!

Versatile bench feels and looks sturdy, simple to assemble and operate. For a 5 foot female that matters. Looking forward to all the various exercises.

Title: Coming Back to Update My Review — This Bench Has Truly Changed My Fitness Journey!

I’m coming back to leave a second review after using the NordBench Pro consistently over the past month or so, and I can honestly say it has become such a valuable part of my daily life!

I originally purchased this bench as a way to improve my fitness postpartum while balancing the demands of caring for my young daughter. Having a history of rheumatoid arthritis has also made maintaining my strength and physical function especially important to me. One of my biggest motivations is being able to carry my daughter, keep up with her as she grows, and stay strong and active for all the years ahead. I wanted to invest in my health in a way that would support not only my fitness goals but also my ability to be an active, present mom.

Around the same time, I was diagnosed with prediabetes and was dealing with hormonal issues that made prioritizing my health even more important. My physicians emphasized the importance of strength training to support healthy blood sugar regulation, improve body composition, and build and maintain muscle. I knew I needed to find a sustainable way to incorporate strength training into my routine, but getting to a gym consistently while caring for a young child isn’t always realistic.

Having the ability to strength train at home has genuinely been a game-changer. It has made prioritizing my health so much more manageable, allowing me to get effective workouts in while still being there for my daughter.

What has impressed me most is that I’m not just maintaining my fitness — I’m getting stronger! I’ve been able to progressively increase the weight I use for exercises such as split squats and step-ups, and I love having the versatility to incorporate heel-elevated squats using the slant board. The leg extension attachment has been especially useful for targeting my quads, and I’ve increased my working weight from 25 pounds to 50 pounds. Seeing that kind of progress has been incredibly motivating and has given me tangible evidence of how much stronger I’m becoming.

I’ve also been encouraged by the progress I’ve made with my blood sugar. My A1c has come down slightly so far, which is a meaningful step in the right direction for me. I know improving metabolic health is a journey, and I’m looking forward to seeing what continued consistency with strength training and other healthy habits can accomplish over time.

Beyond these measurable improvements, I’ve noticed a positive difference in how I feel physically and mentally. Strength training has become an important part of my routine, helping me feel stronger, more capable, and more confident in my ability to take care of myself during a season of life when it’s easy to put your own needs last. Having the ability to train at home has made taking care of my health feel achievable rather than like another impossible task on my to-do list.

I really appreciate the multifunctionality of the NordBench Pro and the ability to incorporate different exercises into my workouts without needing an entire home gym full of separate equipment. For anyone looking to build strength at home, especially busy parents who need flexibility and convenience, I would absolutely recommend considering this bench.

I’m so glad I made this investment in my health. For me, it’s become much more than just a piece of fitness equipment. It’s helped me build a more consistent routine, work toward improving my metabolic health, and become stronger for myself and my daughter. I’m excited to continue progressing and see where this journey takes me!

What can I say I like it a lot. I’m recovering from 2 broken legs so this helps me a lot with damaged nerves & stuff.

Sturdy product that does everything I need it to. Great price as well!

We've been incredibly impressed and blessed by the Nordbench setup. Out of the box, you can see it is solidly built. It's versatile, easy to switch for different exercises, and for low back issues, a must add/have for the home.

Highly recommend.

Set up was relatively easy and the product information "how to's" have extremely easy to follow. So far so good and I look forward to adding this machine into my normal workout routine.

Really impressed with the NordBench Pro! Setup was super easy, and I love how quickly you can switch between different exercises. There are so many different ways to use it, which makes it a great addition to my home gym. Solid piece of equipment, easy to adjust, and makes getting a full workout in super convenient. Definitely recommend!

I was skeptical of buying this unit and thought I could get away with a cheaper Amazon knockoff. I did wind up getting the Amazon one and promptly disassembled it and sent it back when the NordBench arrived. Bottom line, its a vastly superior product and it’s something I genuinely enjoy using. Not to mention that I’ve genuinely feared bending forward the wrong way now for going on 3 years because of a bulging disk and as an aging 42 year old athlete who is very active you can imagine that messes with your confidence and psyche not only in active situations, but just around the house and in real life. Thinking twice before loading the dishwasher is not a fun way to live. I love that I can start my Nordic Curls at a much easier angle and work my way down, which has really unlocked that exercise for me because it was either too hard or just flat uncomfortable trying to do it with bands or with other equipment. I start high and go lower and lower until I can’t do it with good form and I just make incremental improvements week after week from there. I couldn’t be happier with the purchase and it may truly be a game changer for my quality of life and I’m genuinely grateful for that. Thank you very much. -Jesse R, St Pete, FL

My husband & I really love the Nordbench. We are both in our 60s. It has been a wonderful addition to our workout routine. We have found it very helpful in strengthening our core and back. It is easy to use and videos have been very helpful. We really wish they were all in one easily found and indexed location.
