My Bowflex Ultimate 2 is a Wonderful Piece of Equipment

I recently purchased the Bowflex Ultimate 2 Home Gym, and I was pleasantly surprised as to the versatility and utility that you get out of the reasonably priced machine.

The range of motion a person has with this machine is absolutely terrific. I felt skeptical at first when I ordered it but, to be honest, the low price (basically less than a year's membership at a gym) did provide extra incentive for me.

One of my friends had purchased this same system and recommended the Bowflex Ultimate 2 to me. I recommended this system to my friends as well, as I am able to perform the full extent of my normal work-out routine just on this machine with relatively minor inconvenience.

The system really is as versatile as they advertise on the tv spots, as it is one of those all-in-one machines.

One of the main concerns I had about this machine was that I would have to designate its own space in my home for it. I actually have found that it is not cumbersome at all given the convenience it provides.

However, I would recommend this system only to those people who feel comfortable working out in their own home because you do have to have more discipline when the system is conveniently available for you (as opposed to getting out to the gym and keeping yourself focused).

With this machine, and its power rod system, I have really developed my upper and lower body through the various Bowflex workouts that are outlined in the system's guidebook. It is truly a unique and revolutionary way to work out, and I have been happy with my system since I first purchased it.

I would recommend those who are looking to build their core/muscle tone to look into these machines and really take an objective look. We all know that what we see on television can be misleading, especially with infomercials, but the Bowflex Ultimate 2 home gym truly is beneficial to those who have the discipline to follow work out regimens.

Getting back in shape with Bowflex Ultimate 2!

As a former college athlete, I was in shape pretty much my entire life until I hit the age of 25. At 25 I stopped working out, ate poorly and really was living a very unhealthy lifestyle, thats when I turned to Bowflex to turn my life around.

I decided that I would order the Bowflex Ultimate 2 home gym. I was hesitant to order at first, thinking I would not get great results, but boy was I wrong.

From the second the Bowflex home gym came through the door I was toning my body and losing all the weight that I had gained in years prior.

The best part about this machine is that I can get a total body workout, without leaving the comfort of my own home. With young children, it is hard to find time to work out, but with the bowflex just a flight of stairs away, I have completely changed my lifestyle. I have my ripped chest, shoulders, and back that I used to have back in college, plus I get a great workout for my core. I am also sporting a newly formed 6 pack of abs thanks to a comination of eating right and working out with my Bowflex.

The machine is much easier to use than free weights, and leaves my joints feeling a lot less worn out than a trip to the gym.

All I can say to anyone who is considering getting back in shape...Go with Bowflex! You will not regret it.

What you should know before getting a BowFlex Home Gym

I have been a Gym Rat most of my life. I started Training at the age of 15. I am now 48, I have been a certified Personal Trainer (ISSA) Have done some power Lifting and even tried bodybuilding. (Without the Steroids) I have been a Correctional Officer and I am in the Military, so being Physically Fit has been very important to me, as well as a huge asset. (I purchased a BowFlex home gym for my wife, because she wanted one) Keep in mind, I bought this machine in 2003.

I'm trying to give BowFlex a break. The machine was ok, but did not offer the range of motion I or my wife wanted, nor did it offer enough resistance for Leg training (EVEN with the 410lbs) I would hope improvements have been made. It is my opinion that the machine is OVER-PRICED for what you get.

However, the movements were smooth on the machine and with the proper upgrades I believe BowFlex Could be an OUTSTANDING Product. DO NOT BUY ONE without finding someplace to try one out.
