FAQs

What’s the difference between the Core and Commercial Series Upright Benches?

The Core Series bench is a great fit for home gyms and casual lifters. It’s lighter, easy to move around, and built for basic dumbbell exercises and overhead presses.

The Commercial Series is built with a heavier-duty steel frame, a higher 750 lb weight capacity, and features like knurled foot pegs and thicker padding for comfort during strength training. It’s designed to hold up under serious, repeated use in a light commercial setting or a hardcore home gym.

Is the Upright Bench Adjustable?

No, our upright benches have a fixed backrest. If you’re looking for incline or flat adjustments, consider an adjustable FID (Flat/Incline/Decline) bench instead.

What exercises can I do with an upright bench?

Upright benches are great for seated strength training. Perform overhead presses, seated shoulder presses, Arnold presses, bicep curls, lateral raises, and other dumbbell or barbell lifts that benefit from an upright position. Use as a stable base for accessory work like seated tricep extensions or front raises.

What are the benefits of an upright bench?

Upright benches support proper form for overhead lifts, reduce lower back strain, and save space for focused upper body training in any gym.

Great Bench

I did my research before buying this utility bench. I have used it for a few weeks. An outstanding product. Great customer service (back pad had a tear in it - Valor quickly sent out a new one). No fuss.

Fits the Niche

I was afraid this would need rollers. But its light enough that’s not required. A nice solid bench for over head presses and tricep work. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Wonderful value, very well built.

This is my second piece of Valor fitness equipment and I wanted to brand-match my exercise room, I would’ve paid $100 more for this item, it is a fantastic value. 20 minutes to assemble. The foot crossbar works great. Stable, comfortable and overall a small footprint, love it.

Perfect bench for what I was looking for- military presses, dumbell presses, triceps extensions. Light but sturdy at the same time.

though the bench is nice the problem is the cushion placement. i was hoping to use this for shoulders, but the issue is that the pads are separate and not adjoining leaving room in the back, in other words the space between the seat and upright cushion. that means that there is pressure on the back. i frankly did not realize there was a difference until i used this one as opposed to the seats in the gym which have connecting cushions. the design should be changed so that the back pad is lowered to be adjoining with the seat cushion which would alleviate this issue and then the seat would work well.

I had been wanting a seated bench for awhile, but for some reason they are all $300+. I didn’t like the one from Titan so I put myself on the waiting list for this one. Would of taken the DG-1 or DG-2 but super happy the DG-1 came in stock first. This thing is solid and looks great.

This is a fantastic little upright bench. Very sturdy but light enough to move around. I have an adjustable flat bench that goes to 90 degrees but the back is just too high to do shoulder and tricep exercises. This bench fits the bill. Another quality Valor product that I added to my home gym. Assembles in 20 min. Very sturdy. Great customer service. Thank you Valor.

Im not a guy to write reviews and I don't know why there are no reviews for this bench because its great. The bench is very sturdy simple to put together and has a little weight to it. Amazing for the price and I'm shocked they don't charge another $100 for it. The only problem someone may have is the foot rest on it. Im 5'-8'' and I fit perfect snug in there. But that piece is attached with a bolt which you don't have to put it on.
