Used weight benches in Abu Dhabi typically sell for AED 150 to AED 890 (about $40 to $240). Weight benches sell on maximum load rating and whether they fold, and buyers want both numbers before they will travel for one.
Selling a weight bench in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is the capital and its economy is built around government and energy, which means longer postings and more settled households than Dubai. Things are kept for longer and sold in better condition, and the market skews towards quality furniture rather than quick disposals.
Postings here run longer than Dubai’s, so turnover is slower and steadier. The end of the school year is still the peak, but the volume is lower and the items that appear have usually been looked after.
Most of the city sits on an island connected by a handful of bridges, so crossing to the mainland suburbs is a real trip rather than a short hop. Compounds and towers usually need visitor access arranged in advance.
Abu Dhabi has around 1.5 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Al Ain, Madinat Zayed and Ruwais are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Heavy and awkward but usually manageable by two people. Say whether it folds and whether it fits in a car, since many do once folded.
