My Bowflex Extreme 2 experience.....

I bought a Bowflex Extreme 2 from the original purchaser this past spring. The gym was just over a year old and wasn't used but a few times. I used the gym quite a bit when I bought it then not much at all over the summer months.

Within the last two weeks I have started my training regimate over again and this morning I was doing simple tricep extensions with the lat bar, using both 50lb power rods and one snapped off about 10 inches above the base! So I went online to see what the warranty was on these and find that the warranty does not transfer?! I also have read in a blog one customer knocked out two teeth and had to get stitches on his lip when his power rods snapped while doing simple curls! This is rediculous!

The bowflex is a very well built home gym but if the power rods aren't capable of holding up to normal every day use, what good is it? I am going to make an attempt to resolve this issue with Bowflex tomorrow, we'll see what happens, the 50lb power rods aren't exactly cheap.....

I recently bought a bowflex extreme 2, for a change of pace in my workouts, after many years of free weights.

I get a good pump up from it, but I have yet to ever get that "day after pain" no matter how hard I workout, even after a week off. which I definetly get from free weights. has anyone else noticed this with bowflex?

Well, heres my story. I was probably 240 pounds and like 5'2 lol and then one day I saw this ad and I was like "hey, I think it's time to stop the games for a bit and workout" lol. So now I'm loving my gym and it's not even as large as a gym yet it enables me to do almost everything in a gym. I love this MACHINE cause now Ima machine and I'm joining the marines corps. much love, bowflex users and people deciding to purchase one. ^^
