Lexco LS-216 Olympic Bench Press - Commercial Flat Bench

The Lexco LS-216 Olympic bench press is a commercial flat pressing station measuring 143.9 x 191.2 x 125 cm and weighing 60 kg, built from 105 x 50 mm oval tube in 3 mm wall thickness with stainless steel bar hooks and two integrated plate holders. It belongs to the Lexco Falcon series, with full ABS shrouds, memory foam padding and marine-grade upholstery. Light In Fitness supplies it at 1,080 EUR excluding VAT.

Built around the bar path, not around the frame

The distinguishing feature of a professional bench press is where the bar sits when the lifter is lying under it. On the LS-216 the hooks are positioned above eye level, which means the bar is reachable at arm’s length without shrugging out of position, and the same hook geometry catches the bar if it is dropped on the way back. That single detail separates equipment specified for sports teams and military facilities from equipment specified on price. The rest follows from it: an oval 105 x 50 mm section in 3 mm wall that does not flex under a heavy unrack, and a pad width that supports the scapulae without restricting them.

Who specifies it

Sports team facilities, commercial fitness centres, sports medicine practices and military training sites, which is the client profile Lexco builds for. The common requirement across those settings is a bench that behaves identically for a novice under 40 kg and an athlete under 200 kg, and that survives fifteen years of it. Marine-grade upholstery is not a decorative choice in that context: it is the specification that stops the pad splitting where sweat and friction concentrate, which is the failure that takes a bench out of service long before the frame gives up.

Floor planning

Allow a clear metre on each side of the bar for loading and stripping, plus space behind the head for a spotter. A 3.5 x 3 m working footprint per bench is the practical figure for a commercial free-weight area, and the station should sit on flooring rated for dropped Olympic loads. The two integrated plate holders keep the working load off the floor, but a busy area will still need a separate plate tree.

Frequently asked questions

Are the bar and plates included?

No. The LS-216 is supplied as the bench with uprights and plate holders, so the bar and discs can be matched to what is already on your floor. We quote bench, bar and plate set together on request, which is usually the cheaper route for a new installation.

Is it suitable for a facility with no supervision?

The catch position on the hooks is designed for exactly that situation and is a meaningful safety feature where lifters train alone. It does not replace a spotter or a safety rack for maximal attempts, and a facility whose members regularly train to failure should specify a bench inside a power rack instead.

What does the Falcon series designation cover?

It is the Lexco line identified by full ABS shrouds, memory foam padding and marine-grade upholstery, with the mechanical parts enclosed rather than exposed. In practice that means fewer pinch points, less visible wear and easier cleaning, which matters in shared commercial and clinical settings.
