Amazon.com Product Description
Engineered to offer a deep and varied workout, the Bowflex Sport home gym offers a quick, convenient route to improving your physique. Offering a total body workout in as little as 20 minutes a day, it incorporates specific circuit training into one workout and provides more than 50 different exercises and up to 210 pounds of Power Rod resistance. Additionally, the Bowflex Sport can be expanded with 100 or 200 additional pounds of resistance by adding additional Bowflex Power Rods, which can be purchased separately. The Bowflex Sport features over 60 exercises for both strength training and cardiovascular workout. You can build your back and shoulders with the lat tower, your glutes, hamstrings, and quads with the lower pulley/squat station, and all the muscles of your legs with the included leg extension/curl station. Plus, the seat rail slides for aerobic rowing. It also provides handgrip/ankle cuffs for custom workouts. The Sport utilizes Bowflex's patented Power Rods, which provide resistance, or weight, that feels as good as or better than free weights--but without the inertia or risk of joint pain usually associated with free weights. 
The Sport folds to a compact size (52 by 38 inches) and includes transport wheels for easy storage. | You can hook one, two, three, four or all of your Power Rod units to the cable pulley system and go from as little as 5 pounds all the way up to 210 pounds of resistance. They're precisely manufactured from a high-tech composite material under the highest quality control measures, then sheathed and tested four separate times to ensure quality and durability. The Power Rod units are so strong, you can flex them repeatedly but you won't be able to wear them out.

About Home Gyms
While offering the convenience of working out in the comfort and privacy of your own home, home gyms also allow you to focus on specific routines without having to wait in line or switch between a complex array of machines. In addition to improving strength, power, coordination, and muscular endurance, weight training can enhance weight reduction, enhance the immune and cardiovascular systems, and help prevent injuries. In general, home gym machines are compact units designed to strengthen and exercise many parts of the body. While no single home gym can provide a complete strength training solution, they are a convenient way to combine many exercises into a single unit. Some home gyms focus exclusively on upper-body workouts, while other, more advanced units focus on upper- and lower-body conditioning. Manufacturer's Warranty
Five-year limited warranty on materials and workmanship

 Excellent - PLEASE Read! May 22, 2008

Honestly, this machine is an excellent purchase, especially for those of you who WANT to work out and get into better shape, but don't have the time or the commitment to go to a gym 3-4 times a week, every week (even if it's a 10-minute drive away).
The people that say that the assembly process takes half a day or more honestly don't know how to put anything together. I'm not saying it took 15 minutes, but 2-3 hours tops! In fact, it's almost easy - it just takes some time because there are quite a few pieces and you want to make sure everything is in the right places.
As for the weights, resistance and not representing it's numbered amount - it's very possible that 50-bowflex-resistance pounds might not EXACTLY represent 50-regular-disc pounds. However, who cares? Just add another rod or two, and you're good to go.
I must say that this machine is probably NOT for body builders (you should be in the gym like 6-7 times a week) but for those of you have just want to feel stronger and look better, I promise that this machine will get you there, 100% guaranteed! I've been using it for about 2-3 weeks and I already feel the difference (it doesn't come over night, but you can certainly feel it and slowly but surely see it).
My only suggestion: CONSISTENCY! If you're willing to put 30-to-60 minutes a few times a week, I guarantee this machine is MORE THAN ENOUGH to see nice results, again, for people who just want to get into a better shape or lose weight.
Good Machine May 13, 2008
I own it for over three year now and I still love it.
It is very well made, it is little difficult to put it together since there are many pieces but every pieces fit perfectly.
It save me time and money since I can work out when ever I feel like it with out all the driving.
And I do have to say I try many machines but this is next best thing to having your own professional gym. You don't have to wait or wash other people's sweat off.
Yes, this is big but it is perfect for me to do pull up on the machine.
Another downer is fact that weight is not accurate, it is lighter than what they claim to be so you might need extra weight, also rod's stiffness varies with the temperature.
Great machine for a great deal of the day price March 10, 2008

I'm very happy with this machine. I'm able to get a great workout from the comfort of home. Next time I purchase a bow flex machine, I'm going to buy something two levels higher. Hightly recommended. It works as advertise.
 Good Value for the Money February 23, 2008

I bought this as a replacement for my gym membership. I'm enjoying it. It's easy to assemble and use. I got the 310 lb. upgrade for it and it was easy to install. My only concern is that the weights aren't true to their claim. I'm a 26-yr old woman and have never been able to bench or curl 100 lbs. This machine says I can. Overlooking this, you do get a good workout for the price.
Overall a great unit, but difficult assembly February 16, 2008

The Sport is an excellent machine with a few caveats:
First, delivery. It took about a week for delivery, which is fine. I got a call from the delivery company to set up an appointment, and was told that they would only take it off the truck, not actually bring it inside. Amazon only covers curbside delivery. Considering I am on the 3rd floor of an apartment building and it weighs 230+ lbs, this was not good. I was told they would not even bring it up using the elevator. Luckily, the delivery guy called and asked if he could bring it earlier in the day and offered to bring it up for me in return. I just lucked out because there is absolutely no way I could have gotten it upstairs on my own.
Assembly:
I basically dismissed all of the complaints on here about difficult assembly, but they are all true. It took me about 4 hours to assemble and I am pretty handy. The parts are well constructed, but they do not fit together easily. The bolts are tightened using an included allen wrench, which stripped after 2 bolts. It would have been much smarter to make them tighten with a large flathead screwdriver. The nuts are locking nuts and are nearly impossible to tighten properly with the allen wrench. I ended up going to the hardware store and purchasing regular 3/4" nuts that I could actually tighten with the allen wrench. I would highly recommend you do the same. Otherwise, I would still be trying to assemble the thing. There are several screws that need to be tightened in pre-threaded holes and it was very difficult to get them in properly. One took me literally 20 minutes just to get threaded (no joke). The instructions are decent, but a couple steps, (such as the seat assembly) are not clear and I had to do some steps twice to get it right.
The third thing I will caution you about is that this thing is BIG. You really can't tell from the pictures just how long the bench and leg extension are, but they take up over 6 feet from the main unit. The bows flex outward and need about 6 feet of room as well. It does fold up, which helps, but make sure you have a large area for the machine. And don't plan on moving it from room to room once assembled, it is way too big to get through a doorway.
All that being said, I am very happy with the Sport. It is very solid and I get a good workout from it. At first, the resistence of the bows felt weird, but it does the trick. It just takes getting used to. I have been working out for about 2 weeks about 20 minutes most days and have seen great results. The range of exercises is pretty impressive. You can do several varations of exercises for all muscle groups, as well as aerobic rowing.
I don't think you could get a better home gym for the price. If Bowflex would spend some time simplifying the assembly process and clarifying the documentation, they would have a five star product.
