Click here if you don't have time to read the review
 This is what an Olympic weight bench should look like. This Olympic weight bench by Xodus is really 2 home gyms in one. It is a traditional home gym that converts into a squat rack by removing the detachable bench. Xodus have added just about everything you could need to the FMG-3105 Olympic weight bench. Read on to learn more.

-
height adjustable barbell racks that convert into a squat rack

Warranty
1 year manufacturer's warranty on the frame and 90 days on parts
Pros
-
detachable bench. This is good not just because it converts the barbell rack into a squat rack but also because it gives you the freedom to use the bench for all kinds of different dumbbell exercises. And, depending on your height you can put the bench behind you as a spotter during squats
-
barbell rack converts into a squat rack. This is the kind of thing Powertec like to do with their gyms.
-
gun/safety racks. These allow the solo trainer (which the home gym user usually is) to exercise until fatigue every set. Also allows you to go deeper into your squat with the confidence you won't end up with your head up your..
-
weight storage. What a dream. I wish, I wish I had built in weight storage on my home gym
-
a great price. A squat rack alone can be more expensive than this gym
Cons
-
the warranty is too short. We are doubtful you will need any warranty for a long time but 90 days and 1 year certainly doesn't inspire confidence. Especially when you are use to the lifetime warranties usually offered by the likes of Body Solid, Body Craft, MEGATUFF and Powertec
Overall
Got to say we are very impressed by this gym. It has heaps of features but you wouldn't know it if you only saw the price.
A great gym at a great price.
