Overview of the TITAN seated stationary bench

Price: $125

The TITAN seated stationary bench is a great addition to any professional gym to be combined with a smith machine or rack to do seated overhead presses or curls. You will probably only need one or a maximum of two on the floor while you fill the rest with your fleet with incline or flat benches. For most home gyms this is a waste of time, money, and space. The full specifications of this bench are:

Perfect for seated strength workouts like dumbbell curls, shoulder presses, military presses, and more
High-quality steel and pads for a robust and durable design
Back pad at a slight angle for comfort and easier should movement
Handle and wheels for easy transportation
Overall Height: 36-in.
Overall Footprint: 31-in x 41-in.
Back Pad Dimensions: 19-in x 11.25-in.
Seat Pad Dimensions: 13-in x 11.25-in.
Product Weight: 38 lb.

This is a very niche application for people who struggle to balance on a normal incline bench or who overhead press so much, that they need a fixed setup rather than an adjustable setup for seated presses to stay safe. This only applies to very few gym users and that is why most people won't even need this bench.

Pros of the TITAN seated stationary bench

The pros of the TITAN seated stationary bench are:

Low price
Fixed setup
Sturdy bench

For what it does this bench is sturdy and well built and comes at a low price. If you are in the market for something like this, you will definitely fulfill your need and be easy on your wallet with this addition to your gym.

Cons of the TITAN seated stationary bench

The cons of the TITAN seated stationary bench are:

Limited use cases
Space requirements
Not adjustable

I am not a huge fan of this bench, as I think there are a lot of better options to fill your space with than the seated stationary bench. Unless you are aiming to break the world record in the seated overhead press I do not see much of a point to get this bench instead of a proper adjustable bench. The triangular base provides a lot of stability, but at the same also eats up quite a bit of space. This product is not badly manufactured, it just has very limited use cases and therefore I do not see the point.

Alternatives to the TITAN seated stationary bench

Alternatives to the stationary bench are:

If you are looking into this bench it is most likely because you want to do some form of the overhead press. It is also advertised for curls, but for those you do not need a special bench. The Max FID bench is TITAN's flagship adjustable bench. It can be used for inclines, declines, and is also sturdy. In return, it comes in at over $400.

The FID adjustable bench is the little brother of the MAX. The build is less sturdy to save cost, but you still can do inclines and declines.

The Incline bench V2 is the cheapest adjustable bench you can get from TITAN. It can only be adjusted for inclines and is the lightest out of these three.

Conclusion for the TITAN seated stationary bench

The TITAN seated stationary bench is one of these products that you will use when you first go to the gym because you do not know any better. It is also ok for very specific applications like very heavy overhead presses or when the athlete has to sit down to do curls. Other than that, in my opinion, it is a waste of space.
