Our Take

The Marcy SB-670 is a flat utility weight bench designed for straightforward dumbbell and barbell work in a home gym setting. It sits at the budget-to-mid-range end of the market, offering a no-frills, fixed-flat design. It suits beginners and casual lifters who need a solid surface for pressing, rowing, and step-up exercises without complex adjustability.

Key Features

Fixed flat position only — no incline or decline adjustment

Steel frame construction with a powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance

Upholstered vinyl pad across the full bench length for basic comfort

Compact footprint suited to smaller home gym spaces

Weight capacity rated at approximately 300 lb (around 136 kg) for user plus load

Rubber end caps on feet to protect flooring and reduce slippage

Our Verdict

The SB-670 makes sense for true beginners wanting a dedicated flat surface for light-to-moderate dumbbell work on a tight budget. Anyone already lifting heavier weights, or likely to progress quickly, will outgrow it fast and should invest a little more in a quality adjustable bench from the outset.

What We Like

  • Affordable entry point for home gym beginners who don't yet need an adjustable bench
  • Compact and relatively easy to move or store between sessions
  • Sturdy enough for moderate loads without noticeable flex or wobble
  • Straightforward assembly that most users complete in under 30 minutes

Things to Consider

  • Fixed flat position severely limits exercise variety compared to adjustable alternatives at a similar price
  • Padding is fairly thin and can feel uncomfortable during longer sessions
  • Weight capacity is modest, making it unsuitable for more advanced lifters moving heavier loads
  • Build quality reflects the price point — long-term durability under regular heavy use is uncertain
