I had this machine for about 4 years now and i really love it o i kept it.The bowflex classic comes with a boo with a nutrition plan but then again what home gym doesn't  these days and it also comes with a exercise book with like 100 different exercises that work every muscle in your body including your brain because some of them are a little tricky to figure out. The resistance bands...

The Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells offers the home gym enthusiast the change to have a large range of dumbbells in a small, compact fashion. The weights range from 5 lbs. to 52.5 lbs. and are adjust with a simple click and lock of the desired weight amount in the docking station. The locking mechanism hold safely and strong, and appears to be up to repetitive use. The outside of the all metal...

 I have always wanted to try a Bowflex, and had the chance to purchase this about a year ago. I was amazed on how easy it was to move, and not having weights it is fairly light.  I was also skeptical about the bows being effective, but after working out on this i was amazed! The resistance is good and you have the same feel of freeweights as you steady the lift.  This has every e...

When I first saw this machine, I thought it was some new form of elliptical. It has two rising platforms somewhat similar to foot pads of an elliptical, yet when someone got on it and began to exercise, it looked more like they were stair climbing. The gym owner explained to me that this new machine was a treadclimber. Treadclimbers combine three types of cardio exercising: stair climbing, el...

this is a grate home gym and i'm 100 percent completely satisfied with my purchase.  It is very durable and never has had any problems.  I had purchased the machiene from a garage sale and it was already five years old!!!!!  It came without a single problem and still has none!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  As you can see, ...

When you purchase a set of dumbells like this, it makes the range of dumbells you see at a gym hardly worth it. One SelectTech set shows quick results, which means you'll be going back to your set again and again. The ergonomics on this variety of dumbbell is as best as I have ever seen on a dumbbell, with added support to the hand, which therefore leads to alot more reps and more muscle. T...

    These dumbbells are great for the beginner home gym junkie. By turning a dial, the weight is set and a great workout can follow. With great grip, it is near impossible to drop the weights. Plus, it allows you to have a wide variety of weights in a small place. It replaces a total of 34 weights.     If that doesn't sound good enough, it has a 2-year limited ...

Talk about the most useless waste of money anyone could invest in for their health. Let me spare you and suggest spending this money on a 1-year gym membership. Here's a basic rundown of why this thing will only shrink your wallet, and not improve your body. First, not all resistance training is bad, but in this case it is. These "bows" do not offer consistent resistance. When you...

My husband and I purchased the bowflex sport for both of us to use.  We both have used free weights and machines before and considered purchasing a home gym with weights but after researching it we decided to go with the BowFlex.  We chose the Sport model simply because it was the best value.  It has everything we wanted, the rowing option, the leg attachments, and the lat bar, a...

My gym just got one of these, and I love it!!!!  I'm sure you've all seen the commercials.  This is a combination stairmaster/treadmill.  It's easier on your joints and gives you a more intense workout than a treadmill alone.  I really didn't believe the commercials until I tried it myself.  It was difficult to use at first because it takes a lot of coor...

I joined my local volunteer fire department a little over 2 years ago. I went through my initial training in the 1st 6 months. Once I completed the initial schooling, I had the option to take an additional state-level test to give me a higher level of certification. I knew that, especially being a woman, and not being very physically strong, I was going to have to work at it. I had heard from o...

I purchased the bowflex 4 years ago when I was on the road alot and my husband wanted to workout but couldn't get to the gym with two small children. We got the leg attachment with the home gym and we were given the poster and video to teach us how to get the most out of the home gym. The ads say 2 or 3 days a week and you can be bulked up and slimmed down and loose several dress sizes....y...

At the gym, I always prefer to use this set of dumbells as compared to the many other sets availab;e there.Pros: The dumbells are covered with plastic which gives me a better grip and also less sound when I put them back on the base. It is indeed a very complete set with  a good weight variety, ranging from 5 pounds to 50 pounds and only takes up a space of two feet by three...

 As an owner of this machine, I can tell you that if you are dedicated to keeping yourself fit, this is a good piece of equipment to own. It took a few hours to put it together, but once it was assembled it works well.   The machine is easy to use and comes with instructions on how to do each exercise. It also comes with a meal plan, grocery list. and a chart to log you progress....
