Flat Benches

MAVRIK Flat — $125

The MAVRIK is the entry-level flat bench. At 10.8kg and $125, it is the lightest and cheapest in the range. 1040 x 500 x 455mm with a 40mm vinyl pad. Designed for home use.

Best for: Beginners on a tight budget who need a basic flat bench to start training.

Satori Flat — $199

The Satori Flat is a meaningful upgrade from the MAVRIK. Heavier at 15.5kg, with an EVA foam anti-slip PU mesh pad and matte powder-coated steel. 1150 x 380 x 445mm.

Best for: Home gym builders who want a more stable flat bench without spending $300+.

Commercial Flat — $329

The Commercial Flat Bench is the standout flat bench in the range. IPF specification pad (1200 x 300 x 60mm), 75x75x3mm steel frame, 1,230kg tested load capacity, and a handle with wheels for easy repositioning. At 20kg, it is a planted, stable platform.

Best for: Anyone who wants a serious flat bench for their home or commercial gym. The 1,230kg tested load capacity means this bench is overbuilt for virtually any lifter.

Power Flat 12" (IPF Spec) — $389

The Power Flat 12" is a competition-spec flat bench. IPF regulation 305mm (12") wide pad, 430mm height, 27kg, 453kg capacity, 75x75x3mm steel. 3-inch thick pad with plywood base for firmness.

Best for: Competitive powerlifters who want to replicate competition bench specifications in training.

Power Flat 14" Wide — $399

The Power Flat 14" is the wider version at 360mm (14"). Same 3mm steel and 3-inch thick pad as the 12", but wider for lifters who want more shoulder and upper back support. 35kg, 453kg capacity, 3-post design.

Best for: Larger lifters, or anyone who finds a standard 12" bench too narrow for comfortable pressing.

Adjustable Benches

Satori Adjustable — $375

The Satori Adjustable is the budget adjustable bench. Adjustable backrest and seat, 34kg, wheels for easy movement. A solid entry-level adjustable bench.

Best for: Home gym builders who need incline and flat positions without the $500+ investment of commercial models.

Commercial Adjustable — $499

The Commercial Adjustable offers 6 backrest angles (flat to approximately 80 degrees) and 2 seat positions. At 32.9kg, it is more stable than the Satori Adjustable.

Best for: Home and commercial gyms that need a reliable adjustable bench for incline pressing, shoulder work, and supported rows.

Commercial FID Bench V2 — $565

The Commercial FID V2 is the best value adjustable bench in the range. It does everything: 7 backrest angles, 4 seat positions, decline through to 80-degree upright, 400kg weight rating, 3mm steel frame, 44kg. Dimensions: 1525 x 610 x 447mm.

Best for: Most home gyms. This is the bench included in VERVE's bundles for good reason -- it covers flat, incline, decline, and upright positions with a 400kg rating and commercial-grade construction.

No Gap Bench — $849

The No Gap Bench eliminates the gap between the seat and backrest pad that exists on most adjustable benches. At 54kg, it is extremely stable. Optional FID leg attachment available separately ($159).

Best for: Lifters who are bothered by the seat/backrest gap on standard adjustable benches, especially during heavy incline pressing where the gap can cause discomfort.

Elite Adjustable — $899

The Elite Adjustable is the premium option. At 57kg, it is the heaviest bench in the range. Features vertical storage (can be wheeled upright to store against a wall) and a non-slip performance pad.

Best for: Premium home gyms, commercial facilities, and lifters who want the absolute best bench money can buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which VERVE bench should I buy for a home gym?
The Commercial FID Bench V2 ($565) is the best choice for most home gyms. It covers flat, incline, decline, and upright positions with a 400kg rating and 3mm steel frame at 44kg. It is the bench included in VERVE's home gym bundles for good reason.
Q: Do I need a flat bench and an adjustable bench?
Not necessarily. A good FID bench (like the Commercial FID V2) covers flat pressing as well as all incline and decline angles. The main reason to own a dedicated flat bench is if you want the stability and pad feel of a purpose-built flat bench for heavy bench press -- particularly the Power Flat 12" or 14" for competition-style pressing.
Q: What is a "no gap" bench?
On most adjustable benches, when you incline the backrest, a gap opens between the seat and backrest pads. This gap can cause discomfort, especially during heavy incline pressing when your lower back presses into it. The No Gap Bench ($849) eliminates this gap entirely.
Q: What bench is included in VERVE bundles?
The Home Gym Essentials Bundle ($3,310) and Core Training Bundle ($7,179) both include the Commercial FID Bench V2 ($565). This is VERVE's most versatile bench and the one they recommend for most setups.
Q: What is the weight capacity of VERVE benches?
The Commercial Flat Bench has been tested to 1,230kg. The Commercial FID Bench V2 is rated at 400kg. The Power Flat benches are rated at 453kg. All have lifetime frame warranties, and all are built for commercial use. For any realistic training load, every bench in the range is more than adequate.
Q: What is the cheapest VERVE bench?
The MAVRIK Flat Bench at $125. It is a basic flat bench designed for home use. For $74 more, the Satori Flat ($199) is a noticeable upgrade in stability and pad quality.
