The Workout Bench

Your Bowflex® Ultimate™ home gym has four different bench positions. To adjust the bench, simply locate the spring lock pin on the side of the seat. Pull out pin to release seat, then slide it to the desired position. Pull out pin, give it half a turn, and release to place it in a “free sliding” position for exercises such as rowing.

Quick Release Bench: The long portion of your bench attaches to and releases from the seat portion very easily. To attach it, simply insert the half hinge on the end

of the bench into the half hinge on the seat. For standing exercises, simply remove the bench by lifting up on the long portion and pulling away from the seat.

Flat Position 1 & 2: Along the side of the seat rail there are three holes for the spring lock seat pin. Pull out on the pin and slide the entire bench forward until the spring lock seat pin locks into a hole. With the bench in the flat

position there are two possible holes for the spring lock

pin to lock into, one forward and one back.

Incline Position: Start with the bench flat in the furthest position away from the Power Rods®. Pull out on the spring lock seat pin and lift the long bench pad up. Slide forward until the pin locks into the farthest

forward hole. Rest the bench’s incline support bracket on the base of the Power Rods®.

“Free Sliding”

Position: Remove the long bench pad.

Pull out on the spring lock seat pin, give it a half turn, and release to place it in a “free sliding” position for exercises such as rowing.
