 Great product! July 27, 2008

The Bowflex showed up days before the free super saver shipping said it would and was pretty ease to assemble. I did it alone and it took less than 2 hours.
 expensive butterfly machine? July 27, 2008
1 out of 7 found this review helpful
i noticed that most of the exercises can be done using a dumbbell and chin up bar. only, the bench press and butterfly machine are particular to this machine. the 210 lbs. bench press feels like 120 lbs. i can even do lunges with my dumbbell to simulate the leg extension. basically, this machine is an expensive butterfly machine. because i'm not getting any more bench resistance than doing push ups on the floor.
maybe, this is a trick way for bowflex fans to buy the machine twice to increase resistance. other than that i like the machine. if i could use my free weights i would. but my mother has used the bar bell for a clothe hanger. also the resistance feels progressive, not sure if that's a good thing.
i'm considering using the hack saw to cut of the metal piece preventing the rod upgrades from going in. i don't want to go through the process of selling or returning my machine. i bought the lesser priced one because i thought it would save footprint area. now, i'm kicking myself. but it is a bowflex. maybe, i should just try doing alot of push ups. my air force friend has a built up body from just doing 75 push ups a day.
 Great for women and beginners! July 23, 2008
This bowflex CANNOT be upgraded in weight. 210 pounds is the top weight - period. If you know what you're doing, you can get a pretty good workout with this machine. The included workout is only a beginning. There is much more you can do with this machine.
Men, beware, there may not be enough weight on this for you. Even women will find 210 pounds inadequate for the the leg press (instructions not included...)That is OK for those just wanting to get in shape. You can make up the lack of weight in leg press with leg curls and extensions.
The upper body workout is great. Loads of instructions on how to do that included.
The assembly instructions are very easy to follow. There are a few mistakes. There is one instruction that calls for a 4.5" screw. There is no 4.5" screw available, but there is a 4.25" screw and that fits perfectly. There is another one of those mistakes, but you will be able to figure it out by what is left over to use. Everything in the box fits perfectly in the end. I assembled it all in less than 2 hours, and I was working on the computer and talking on the phone for some of that time, so....
Great product and some irony July 16, 2008

This home gym is worth its weight in gold. I bought this back in January and since then I have dramatically increased my overall strength. Not to mention my arms and chest have become a lot more defined. I was slightly disappointed with the lack of being able to upgrade, however, in the textbook definition of irony, the only thing thats stopping this unit from being upgradable are 2 flaps of metal that cover the holes for the additional power rods. After using the Bowflex for several months, I became strong enough to actually bend these flaps back, with the helps of some long tools and now it is completely upgradeable. Thanks Bowflex!
its a great machine but the shipping company sucks July 11, 2008

The machine itself is great I use it everyday for at least 30 minutes. On the other hand the shipping company CEVA sucks it sat over in Saint Louis for 10 days they tried contacting me once before I found the number on the internet and contacted them. My suggestion is that Amazon needs to be more involved with the company the choose to ship there products. They also need to give customers a number to call just incase the customer doesnt receive there product in a timely manner. I waited 3 days over the specified time for delivery and if I hadnt found the number I could have waited longer. I appreciate the free shipping but still needs to be better executed. Thanks Amazon though for a great product.
