if you got some chisels, screwgun, and circular saw you can always make your own. then upholster it with some faux leather and bags of cotton from the crafts store

i made one a couple years back that turned out nice. i believe all the material cost me about $100 alltogether but i also used pressure-treated wood for the base and feet. wasn't necessary.

Craigslist perhaps. But id suggest buying an adjustable bench so you can do incline/decline.

Kijiji and/or craigslist would be your best bet on a high quality bench for cheap.

You can also check out fitnessavenue.ca for reasonably priced mediocre gear, although their shipping is no better than other companies, if you're around one of their locations it's definitely worth checking out.

A word of advice from someone who's gone through multiple benches: don't cheap out. You'll want a decent bench that doesn't wobble and ideally is adjustable. It's a one time investment if you make the right choice, and it should retain resale value so long as you don't abuse it.

100% this. People , especially middle aged people buy gym things all the time thinking they will get back in shape and the stuff never gets used and finds its way online for a great price.
