This $2,350 weight bench is nicer than anything I have in my living room.


My partner and I have very different approaches to interior design. While she (a stylish art director) makes the house look good with tasteful additions, I (a fitness writer) clutter it with bulky exercise equipment. But I was recently introduced to something that might satisfy both camps.

The Technogym Bench is designed to offer a “maximum variety of exercises with minimum space”, allowing you to neatly fit dumbbells, knuckle weights, resistance bands and a yoga mat onto a compact weight bench. As you’d expect from the famous, luxury Italian brand, it also looks rather stylish.

It's in our Money No Object franchise for a reason: at $2350 in the US and £1450 in the UK (about $3500 AU), it's not a smart buy. But my taste for champagne (though not beer) couldn't help but make me want one, especially after trying it.
