GetRxd FIDB 300 Bench Review

The GetRxd FIDB 300 bench is one I’ve had my eyes on since I first saw it on their Get Rxd website.

Besides my addiction with FID benches, what caught my attention was that I could stand it up.

This is a genius design so that I can get it out of the way when not in use.

I’m all about home gym organization and having a bench upright is a huge space saver.

And I went ahead and got the leg extension attachment to make it more functional.

Time to open it up!

Unboxing

I took off the box cover and this is how everything comes packaged.

The bench and seat pads are right on top in their own box.

Took the pads off and here’s what’s below them.

All the metal parts and leg rollers.

Here’s everything out of the box minus the bench and seat pads.

I chose the red powder coating to match my PRx Performance power rack and it looks awesome.

Specs

FIDB 300 Assembly

The FIDB 300 only comes with a diagram and no real instructions so I initially struggled to put it together.

Bolts didn’t come labeled so I couldn’t figure out which ones fit certain parts of the bench.

I didn’t see any tools required on their website or in the diagram so I contacted Get Rx’d customer service and here’s what you’ll need:

• 10 mm hex Allen wrench

• 6 mm hex Allen wrench

• 3/16 socket wrench

I picked up a whole kit of Allen wrenches that had both sizes needed.

Adding instructions and tools needed is something Get Rx’d could improve on to streamline the assembly time.

GetRxd FIDB 300 Adjustable Bench

Adjustable Back Pad (7 Positions)

I’ve always been a fan of adjustable FID (Flat, Incline, Decline) benches because I can do way more than with just a flat bench.

The FIDB 300 has 7 back pad adjustment options and 4 on the seat pad.

I’ll show you what they look like…

Angle Adjustment Handle

To adjust the back pad use the handle right below it.

I lift the back pad and use the handle to set the support arm to the angle I want.

The arm sits on vertical metal pieces that hold it in place.

Flat

Here’s what the flat position looks like.

There’s a 3.5″ gap between the back pad and the seat pad.

Incline

There’s 5 levels of incline up to 85 degrees.

The seat is also adjustable so it gives me additional support from below when doing incline exercises.

With the incline levels I can do a variety of exercises like incline bench press, shoulder press, unilateral preacher curls, etc.

And I can use it facing down for exercises like rows, rear delt flys, Cuban presses, etc.

Adjustable Seat

The seat has 4 levels of adjustment.

I mainly keep it flat or use the highest incline setting.

Incline setting comes handy when doing incline bench so it gives me more stability.

And when doing decline bench so that the whole bench forms a downward diagonal line.

Decline

The built in decline position is a -15 degree angle to hit the lower chest.

Set the seat incline in line with the back pad to keep a straight line.

On the back leg there’s a rubberized square on the back leg that prevents the bench frame from hitting metal on metal.

Here’s what the decline bench press looks like.

One thing I’m not a fan of is that there’s no support behind my knees when using the decline setting.

But it’s a good thing the upholstery is non-slip to keep me from sliding down.

If I do decline presses, I prefer to use the leg roller attachment on the other side of the bench.

I feel like my lower body is supported better this way.

You’ll see more about the leg attachment later on.

Wide Base

The three leg tripod design on the GetRxd FIDB 300 reminds me of the PowerBlock Sport bench.

Wide legs (28″ apart) help to give this bench great stability.

High Density Padding

The bench padding is bad ass.

It’s thick and comfortable but doesn’t give even with heavy weight on it.

I threw one of my 90 lbs PowerBlock dumbbells and it didn’t even budge.

Padding this dense is great when doing step ups so my feet don’t wobble.

Non-Slip Upholstery

I really like how the upholstery feels like it grips my body.

This is useful on heavy bench days so I don’t feel like I’m slipping on the pad.

Powder Coat Finish

The red powder coat finish continues to be my favorite color so that’s why I picked it for the FIDB 300.

And of course I went with that color to match my PRx Performance Pro rack.

GetRxd FIDB 300 Leg Roller Attachment

I did pick up the optional leg roller attachment that attaches to the top of the back pad so I can use it for decline core workouts.

This is a similar function to the PowerBlock Sport bench I’ve reviewed before except they attach a dip bar and pull up bar to theirs.

Here’s what’s inside the box.

This also came with a diagram to guide with assembly.

And here’s what it looks like once it’s all put together.

All I have to do is slide the leg roller into the bench frame then secure it with the knob below the back pad.

The leg roller has 3 levels of horizontal adjustment to accommodate for leg length.

I can do decline sit ups, Russian twists, and other exercises that would require an additional bench.

Here’s something I found out while I played around with the bench.

If I turn the leg roller attachment upside down, I can use it as a Nordic curl bar.

It’ll hold my legs down and I can do Nordics on the bench!

If you’ve ever done Nordic curls you know they’re not easy, so I usually use the NordSpotter for nordic curl progressions.

Upright Storage

This bench has is a flat metal plate and flat wheel covers that allow me to stand it upright.

I can stand it up vertically to save space.

There’s a piece of metal screwed to the bench frame right above the back pad.

This creates a flat surface for the bench to stand upright.

Metal guards around the wheels sit flat on the floor to add stability.

I noticed one of the adjustment levels has a lip that sits horizontally.

This lip is where the back pad support arm falls into to keep the bench from opening while upside down.

So when I’m done working out I just stand it up and the footprint taken up is 28″ x 20″.

Right here I’m showing you how everything stays flat so the bench doesn’t tip over while standing up.

With the FID adjustable bench standing upright I can’t keep the leg roller attachment on it.

So what I do is set it at the top and it stays in place.

Pros & Cons

What I Like

• Space saving: Vertical storage feature helps save space in my garage gym when I’m not using the bench

• Leg roller attachment: Adds more functionality to the bench (core and Nordic curls). Would love to see more attachment options like a dip bar or pull up bar.

• Thick pad: Padding is really comfortable and doesn’t sink

• Non-slip upholstery: Helps me to not move when I drive my legs

• Stable: Doesn’t wobble

What I Would Improve

• Assembly: I would like to see an instructions manual included for faster assembly. All they currently have is a diagram with parts.

• Leg roller attachment: Attachment has to be taken off to stand bench upright.

GetRxd Discount Code

I haven’t been able to get a GetRxd discount code but you bet your ass I’m working on it.

Only thing I’ve found is a promotions page they have with several discount options.

If I’m able to get a coupon code, I’ll come back and update this section.

GetRxd FIDB 300 Bench Review

This is one of my favorite benches I’ve ever tried.

It’s built solidly, doesn’t wobble, has thick dense padding, and everything I could ask for in an FID bench.

Having the option to stand it upright when not in use is a huge space saver.

And I’m glad I picked up the leg attachment add-on for more functionality.
