Bowflex Xtreme 2 - I'll be BACK!

Setting up the unit was actually easy. The hard part? Making sure the cables were properly aligned. Once those issues were covered, bingo, it worked fine. I immediately went to cmfitness for upgrades on the power rods. Went from 210 lbs all the way up to 410. cmfitness had it all!

As for the work out, I'm doing it every day, working the arms, working the legs, etc.... BUT, I'm disappointed... Even after a few weeks, I STILL DON'T LOOK LIKE THE GUYS IN THE BOWFLEX DVD....!!! hehehehe... However, I am stronger, tossing around wood logs like they are nothing... Gary

Very nice product, Works extremely well

This is a good home gym. You can change from multiple different exercieses without changing the pulley's. If you want to add an accessory (preacher curl attatchment) that does take a little time but you can stull use the upper body exercises too. This machine makes it easy to push a lot of resistence without the worry for injury. If you set a good routine and plan out your workouts to minimize changing the machine you can get a top quality workout without spending much time on it. And I'm talking about under an hour.

Bowflex Xtreme 2

Works great especially for a home gym, doesn't take up much room, and offers countless strength training exercises.

Great bowflex. A definite buy!

Was looking for a home gym on a discount and came across this bowflex which was almost half off. After doing some research the only downside to buying a used bowflex is that you do not get the warranty that exists with the original owner. That didn't bother me much because you can pretty much replace any part of the machine. So I took the plunge. The gym takes a couple of hours to put together but if you follow instructions well then you should be good to go. Having two people helps that much more. The pulley instructions are a tad confusing but two sets of eyes helped get us through them.

The machine itself is great! Been using it for two weeks now and I'm already feeling better than before. Don't fool yourself by buying a cheap imitation. A friend did and now he is regretting it.

The reason I bought this particular bowflex is because you do not have to change up pulleys to do different exercises.

Also if your rods are bending bowflex sells a rod straightener that works well.
