About Fitbench

Fitbench creates modular training solutions designed to support efficient, high-quality workouts in a wide range of fitness environments. The brand focuses on equipment that helps facilities stay organised, flexible, and adaptable as training styles evolve.

Fitbench products are built to support strength, functional training, conditioning, and coach-led programming while maintaining clean layouts and consistent training flow. With durable construction, integrated design, and customisation options for colour and branding, Fitbench serves commercial gyms, studios, performance facilities, and home users looking for professional-grade equipment that scales with their space and programming needs.

Background
Fitbench was founded in 2016 in Ixonia, Wisconsin, by Tyler Danen, who set out to rethink how training spaces function. The original bench was developed to support smoother workout flow and smarter space use. Over the past decade, that idea evolved into a growing line of training solutions used worldwide.

Main products and services
Fitbench’s product line focuses on integrated training solutions that support efficient workouts, organised spaces, and consistent programming across commercial, performance, and home environments. At the centre of the offering are its all-in-one training benches, designed to house multiple training tools within a single station so users can progress through workouts without disruption.

• The Fitbench One Nxt Gen is built for high-use facilities and performance centers. It supports a wide range of training styles including strength, functional training, conditioning, and HIIT. The design incorporates adjustable incline positions, a contoured bench surface, enhanced mobility features, and integrated storage for commonly used accessories, allowing trainers and athletes to maintain workout flow while minimising floor clutter.

• The Fitbench Studio model offers a streamlined, lower-profile design well suited for boutique studios and group training environments. Its reduced step height improves accessibility for a broader range of users while still supporting circuit-based and coach-led programming in a compact footprint.

• Fitchbench Free provides a more mobile option focused on flexibility and ease of movement. It maintains key training capabilities while allowing facilities and individuals to adapt layouts quickly for indoor or outdoor use.

Beyond benches, Fitbench continues to expand its ecosystem with compatible accessories and training tools designed to integrate seamlessly with its equipment. Customisation options including colour and branding decals allow facilities to align equipment with their identity. Fitbench also supports facilities through layout planning and product consultation, helping create organised, high-impact training spaces.

case study: Ecofit: Equipment analytics prove why you need Fitbench
As a gym operator, you know strength training demand is booming. To keep members happy, you need the right equipment—and enough of it. Instead of guessing, use data to guide smart business decisions.

Asset management platforms like Ecofit deliver powerful insights on equipment usage, wait times, down machines, and availability trends. You get real-time analytics to determine:

● Optimal floor layouts
● Equipment configurations
● Demo/pilot pieces
● Ideal number of units
● New programs, spaces, and facilities

Now you can specifically track how Fitbenches perform in your facility using Ecofit sensors with advanced accelerometer movement detection and vibration technology.

Ecofit data shows that average daily usage of Fitbench units at HVLP clubs is higher than other comparable strength machines. Ecofit also tracks hourly usage, which is especially valuable for 24-hour facilities and programming decisions.

What does this mean for you?
If you don’t have Fitbenches on your floor, you’re leaving a major opportunity untapped—and we can help change that.

If you already have Fitbenches, you’re ahead of the game. Now amplify that advantage by adding Ecofit’s precision technology to gain a competitive edge that:

● Drives member engagement
● Boosts sales
● Strengthens retention

Reach out to the Fitbench team or email [email protected] for a free demo of Ecofit software and see the data-driven gamechanger you’ve been missing.
case study: Snap Fitness, Chancery Lane
Functional training specialist Fitbench has strengthened its presence in the UK health club market with the installation of four Fitbench One units at the newly opened Snap Fitness Chancery Lane club in London — a standout site which showcases the future direction of the global 24/7 brand.

Positioned at the heart of the club’s functional circuit area, Fitbench has been selected to support Snap Fitness’ ambition to deliver high-quality, flexible training experiences within a premium, space-efficient environment.

A Functional Solution Designed for Modern Clubs
Fitbench combines strength, conditioning, mobility and functional training into a single, self-contained platform, allowing operators to maximise programming options without increasing equipment clutter or floor space requirements.

At Chancery Lane, the four Fitbench One form the backbone of a dynamic circuit zone, enabling members to move fluidly between exercises such as dumbbell work, kettlebells, bodyweight training, suspension work and core movements. The equipment provides an ideal platform for Snap Fitness’ signature S7 classes, which incorporate key functional equipment to deliver an effective all-body workout in as little as 20 minutes. The layout supports open gym usage, personal training and small-group circuits, making the space adaptable throughout the day.

For operators, this versatility reduces the need for multiple standalone pieces, while helping maintain clear sightlines and a premium aesthetic — an important factor in high-end urban clubs.

Aligning with a Premium Brand Vision
Snap Fitness Chancery Lane has been designed as a next-generation club, blending 24/7 accessibility with state-of-the-art equipment, boutique-style studios and an elevated member experience. The inclusion of Fitbench reflects a broader shift among operators towards multi-purpose training solutions that encourage creativity, inclusivity and progression.

Kevin Yates, CEO EMEA at Snap Fitness, says Fitbench plays a key role in that vision: “Fitbench is a brilliant example of where smart design meets real training impact. It’s versatile, intuitive, and it elevates the way our members move, train and progress. At Chancery Lane we’re building a club that’s future-focused, and Fitbench fits that vision perfectly, it gives our members more freedom, more creativity, and a genuinely better training experience from day one.”

Member Engagement and Operational Benefits
From a member perspective, Fitbench One lowers barriers to functional training by presenting equipment in an approachable, intuitive format. Everything required for a complete workout is within arm’s reach, encouraging exploration and reducing reliance on fixed machines.

For the operator, the benches support higher engagement across different member types — from experienced functional trainers to newcomers seeking variety — while also providing personal trainers with a versatile tool for session delivery. The result is a functional zone that is busy, flexible and commercially effective throughout the day.

Setting a Template for Future Clubs
The Chancery Lane installation highlights how Fitbench can be deployed as a core infrastructure element, rather than an add-on, within premium functional spaces. As operators continue to seek ways to differentiate their floor offers and improve space utilisation, integrated solutions such as Fitbench One are increasingly being viewed as a strategic investment.

With Snap Fitness using Chancery Lane as a reference point for its evolving estate, the partnership demonstrates how smart equipment design can directly support brand positioning, member experience and operational efficiency — all from a single, compact training platform.

“Seeing Fitbench become a core part of Snap Fitness’ Chancery Lane club is incredibly exciting for us,” said Tyler Danen, founder of Fitbench. “Snap shares our belief that functional training should be intuitive, inclusive and genuinely engaging, and this installation is a great example of how smart equipment can elevate both the member experience and the operator model. We’re especially excited about what this means for future growth with Snap, as well as the wider momentum we’re seeing globally.”

Testimonial
“My favourite Fitbench feature is manoeuverability. I can move them wherever I want within my studio. It’s a tough question because I can adjust them high, I can adjust them low, and of course it’s an all in one. Your dumbbells, slam balls, kettlebells, bands, and the adjustability of the bench seat. It’s just an amazing concept, and it really does a lot of great things for our studios.”
– Drive Custom Fit
“They get used every day. Trainers love them for multi-client hours. The adjustable bench top gets used for all types of things. I’ve even had some of my clients want to buy them for personal use at home. That’s how interested in them they are. We love them. I actually have three still in storage for my next location, which just tells you how much I like them.”
