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!
Hi Bobby! We're grateful to have you as part of the NordBench community. Thanks for the support!
We got our long awaited nordstick! I'm very impressed with the quality however would have liked a more realistic timeframe for shipping and delivery as half of the order still isn't here. HOWEVER, everything I have gotten is great quality and easy to assemble! Not to mention aesthetically pleasing:)
Hi Raquel! We're so glad you're impressed with the quality and design! We completely understand the frustration with the shipping timeline, that's valuable feedback and we're working hard to improve it. Love the archery hunter program idea! The rest of your order will be worth the wait. Thanks for your patience and support!
Hi Michael! So glad NordBench Pro made it all the way to Germany and is working well in your gym! Thanks for the support from across the ocean!
Received my Nord bench pro yesterday, the whole family has already taken turns attempting a full Nordic curl! Very impressed with quality, assembly was a breeze, and the functionality is exceptional. Looking forward to building a whole family of Nordic curlers!
Hi Jake! Love that the whole family is already getting in on the action! So glad the quality and functionality are exceeding expectations. Here's to building strength together!
This was the missing piece for my home gym. Works just like the pictures and videos showed and actually exceeded my expectations. The only issues I has were during set up, the instructions did not show which stopper goes where and there was a bolt with a red top that was not even mentioned in the instructions. The adjustment handle with NS printed on it (was only 1 in my set) is infuriating to deal with, takes more time to get it to click into place securely than to do my workout (exaggeration but it feels like that). Besides the few small issues, was worth it's steep price and I am very happy with it 100%.
Hi Chelsha! So glad NordBench Pro completed your home gym setup! We're sorry about the pin confusion during assembly. We've recently updated the system and are working to make instructions clearer. We actually have a Leg Attachment available that adds even more functionality! We really appreciate your feedback on shipping timelines and the adjustment handle. It helps us keep improving. Thanks for your patience and support!
Easy assemble and doesn’t take up a lot of storage space. Excellent product although it can be a little wobbly but overall feels very stable.
Hi Kaiga! So glad you're finding it easy to assemble and store! If the wobble bothers you, tightening a few key bolts usually eliminates it almost completely. Thanks for the feedback and support!
Bought the Nordbenchpro to specifically target my lower back. The functional trainer I bought a few months ago has strengthened my upper body and legs. But I needed something to buildup my lower back gradually as I live with an L4/5 ruptured disc. Deadlifts were too difficult. Rows were possible on the functional trainer but involved sitting on the floor and adjusting cables and straps and were kind of awkward. Nordstick’s instructional videos were very helpful understanding how to start small then scale up the various exercises. I’ve progressed without hurting my back. Now I can lift / carry heavier objects (big bags of birdseed, grandchildren) without hurting myself! Happy with my purchase. And it’s built like a tank so will last forever!
Mark, lifting grandchildren without pain? You did that! Thank you for trusting the NordBench Pro with something as important as your back health and for sticking with the process. Your progress is well earned and stories like yours are exactly why we do what we do. Wishing you many more pain free lifts ahead!
I've been working in the fitness industry for over 20 years, and the Nordbench is undoubtedly a piece of equipment that no gym should be without. Compared to its direct competitors (other extension benches), this one offers the best value for money. It's also more compact and lighter than the rest, while still remaining robust. And the best part is how quick and easy it is to change positions for different exercises. They've done a fantastic job evolving the product; you can tell they've put a lot of work into it. Congratulations, guys!
Hi Jose, a review from someone with your level of experience and expertise carries so much weight and this one genuinely means a lot to our team. Thank you for the kind words and for recognizing the work we have put into this. We will keep pushing to make it even better!
Just got my Nordbench Pro a few days ago. Nice piece of equipment. watch the included workout videos for great exercise ideas and proper workout form if you're new to this. I like it so far. I have a ways to go to get better at nord curls but looking forward to the journey.
Perfect sized for a very cluttered basement gym. My teenagers even interested in it.
After a year of annoying back pain and failed attempts at stretching, I finally found something that works. I hesitated on the Nordbench for months, trying cheaper products instead, but I should have just started here.
The build quality is excellent, and after only three days, my back feels stronger and my range of motion has finally improved. If you're looking to be proactive about how you age, this is worth every penny. No regrets!
