The Keppi Bench 1000 Pro arrived and I’m excited to review it.

Keppi sells products on Amazon and this is supposed to be an upgrade to their Keppi 500 bench.

It’s an adjustable FID bench (flat, incline, decline), has a detachable leg support attachment, and a 1200 lbs weight capacity.

Let’s check it out!

10 Keppi Bench 1000 Pro

Everything came packaged in plastic bags, bubble wrap, and foam.

It all came without a scratch.

Here’s everything that’s inside the box.

Frame, seat and back pads, leg rollers, bench legs, and handle.

And this is the finished product.

Assembly took about 20 minutes and the instructions are clear.

Specs

Bench height: 18″ from floor to top of the pad

Pad thickness: 1.5″ thick

Bad pad dimensions: 35″ L x 11.5″ W

Seat pad dimensions: 13″ L x 10″ W

Adjustable FID Weight Bench

The Keppi bench 1000 is an FID bench with 12 angles of adjustment.

It can go from -20 to 90 degrees in 10 degree increments.

My other adjustable weight bench is the PRx Performance folding incline bench but that one is wall mounted so it has limitations.

I like that all the holes are numbered with the angles so I don’t have to think.

Here’s a closer look at the holes and their numbers.

The numbers are engraved in the metal piece which I like better than stickers.

I can adjust the level of incline/decline on both the back pad and seat with a red pull pin.

To loosen the pin, I turn the knob counter-clockwise then pull the knob and select my angle.

Once the pin snaps into a hole, I turn it clockwise to make sure it’s secure.

Righty tighty, lefty loosey.

It works the same way with the seat pad.

The seat has 3 angles of adjustment: 0, 10, and 20 degrees.

Here’s the seat pad angled at 20 degrees.

And here it is with both the back support and seat in the incline position.

Since the back pad angles to -20 degrees, I can also use this as a decline bench.

I use this angle for sit ups or decline bench.

Detachable Leg Support

Keppi bench 1000 Pro leg support has comfortable rollers covered in faux leather.

The leg support is there for any decline exercise like sit ups or decline bench press.

It’s not really needed for flat or incline bench exercises.

I’ll show you how to detach it from the bench in a minute.

Right in the middle of the leg rollers there’s a handle.

This is there so I can easily tilt the bench forward on its wheels and roll it around.

To detach the leg support from the rest of the bench you gotta look under the seat pad.

Turn the knob counter-clockwise then pull it down and pull the leg support out.

Here’s the leg support off the bench.

As you can see, there’s three holes on the metal piece so you can adjust how close or far from the bench you want it.

Here’s the bench without the leg support.

With the leg support off, you can see the other handle.

This is there so I can still lift the bench from one end and more it around on its wheels.

Speaking of wheels, this is what they look like.

Exercises On The Keppi Bench 1000 Pro

From the flat bench position I can do lots of exercises like the bench press, dumbbell pullovers, one arm rows, etc.

Here’s the incline bench press.

I can adjust this to 90 degrees for seated shoulder presses.

There’s an endless amount of exercises I can do with 12 angles to choose from.

And in the decline position I can do dumbbell bench press.

Or I can just work out my abs with decline sit ups.

Keppi Bench 500 vs Keppi Bench 1000 Pro

The Keppi bench 500 is very popular on Amazon with over 1500 reviews and an average of 4.4 stars.

It’s a cheaper version of the Keppi 1000 with less weight capacity (800 lbs v 1200 lbs).

Sure it’ll work for most people but it’s a budget friendly bench so don’t expect anything fancy from it.

It also comes with a pair of resistance bands.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Adjustable: 12 angles on the back pad, 3 angles on the seat pad so I can do plenty of exercises on it

Weight capacity: 1200 lbs weight capacity is more than I or anyone can lift

Stable: Doesn’t wobble while exercising

Cost: At less than $200, it’s a good bench for most home gym owners

Transport: Front wheels and rear handles make it easy to move around

Cons

Stickers: I don’t like stickers on fitness progress but this is a budget bench so I don’t expect laser cut branding on it

Pop pins: I’d like the pop pins to go all the way through the curved spine without having to tighten them. Not that tightening them takes too much time (takes about 10 seconds) but that would be more convenient to the user.
