Having a weight bench at home is a game-changer for your workouts—but it does come with one big downside: space. Every piece of home gym equipment competes for room in already crowded apartments. A foldable weight bench, however, offers a smart solution, especially when mounted on the wall.
In this blog, we’ll show you just how much space you can save with a wall-mounted foldable weight bench, using our MightyRock foldable weight bench as the perfect example. We’ll also break down dimensions, ease of installation, and everyday usability. If you’re still comparing options, our foldable weight bench buying guide helps you understand what really matters — stability, dimensions, storage, and how a bench performs in real workouts.
The Problem with Storing a Standard Weight Bench
If you’ve ever owned a traditional, fixed weight bench, you know that storage is a hassle. These benches are typically about 120 cm long and 50 cm wide, taking up 0.6 m² of floor space. In a 50 m² apartment, that’s 1.2% of your total living area—dedicated to just one piece of fitness equipment!
Most people simply push the bench up against a wall when they’re done, hoping it won’t get in the way. Others try to stand it up vertically—if the bench is stable enough for that—but even then, it still sticks out around 45 cm into the room. That’s not exactly ideal when you’re trying to keep your space clean and organized.
Foldable Weight Benches: A Smarter Storage Option
Foldable weight benches change the game. Their folding mechanism significantly reduces their overall volume. The MightyRock foldable weight bench achieves an impressive 78% reduction in volume when folded. In fact, this makes it one of the most compact foldable weight benches available for small apartments. This makes it far easier to store under a bed, in a closet—or better yet—on the wall.
Wall-mounting is our favorite storage solution, and here’s why:
It frees up your floor for vacuuming or other activities.
It eliminates clutter.
It makes your bench easily accessible, encouraging more consistent workouts.
How Much Space Does a Wall-Mounted Bench Actually Take?
When mounted on the wall, the MightyRock foldable weight bench takes up very little space:
Distance from the wall: Approx. 10 cm (9.5 cm bench + 0.5 cm mounting angle)
Height: 110 cm
Width: 29.5 cm (padding) / 37 cm total with legs
As you can see, the bench becomes practically invisible when not in use. It hangs flat against the wall, looking more like a panel than a piece of gym equipment.
Easy Access = More Motivation
One underrated advantage of wall-mounting your foldable weight bench is accessibility. When you’re tired or unmotivated, even the smallest obstacles can stop you from working out. Having your bench mounted on the wall and within easy reach removes one more excuse.
You don’t have to drag it from under the bed or dig it out of a closet. Just unhook it, unfold it, and start training. It’s that simple. Here is our YouTube video demonstrating this.
Is the Wall Mount Hard to Install?
Not at all. The wall mount bracket comes with 12 mm slotted holes, allowing easy installation with 8 mm or 10 mm bolts. The MightyRock bench weighs only 15 kg, so even M6 bolts can handle the load—just make sure you use two.
The most important part is choosing the right anchor plugs (wall plugs) for your wall type. For brick or concrete, always use plugs rated for that material for maximum safety.
Pro tip: Use a vacuum cleaner while drilling to suck up dust at the source. This small trick saves you a lot of cleanup time later.
Total installation time? Less than 10 minutes.
Conclusion
If you’re working with limited space but still want the benefits of a solid workout bench, a foldable weight bench like the MightyRock is your best friend. And if you take it one step further and mount it on the wall, you’ll save even more space, keep your home tidy, and make your workouts more accessible than ever.
Your home gym doesn’t have to take over your living room—smart design makes all the difference.
