There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Assembly was pretty straight forward. The gym comes in several large pieces and the manual was easy to follow for assembly. The manual suggests using two adjustable wrenches to attach the bolts and nuts. And while that will certainly work I think its better to use a socket and a combination wrench of the correct size. You don't need many. Two maybe three different sized. Can't remember specifically. Its just with using a combination wrench the possibility of it sliding off and slightly stripping the corners is a possibility. I put it together by myself with occasional assistance from my 9 year old (holding something while screwing it in) in about two and a half hours. The instructions are illustrated so you can see what goes where. The only thing i would add is a real size chart for the bolts because it is easy to get a couple of them mixed up. I would suggest reading the length of the bolt used and measuring it with a tape measure to ensure you have the right one. There are two sets of bolts that are very close in length and its easy to get them switched. Assembling the cables can be a little confusing especially since the directions let you figure out that there is a floating pulley. It shows the routing of the cable in a picture that is easy to understand and the pulleys themselves are numbered so you know you get the right order. Its really done well. Other than these few minor improvements that can be made, I was quite pleased.
The users manual is what I think is the gem of this package. Someone put a lot of thought into this. If you are an experienced gym rat who lifts for years then just figure out the exercises and do your thing. But say you have never really worked out much in your life, it has really well thought out fitness plans for you to follow that are great and will help you meet your goals. Follow them. You don't need to reinvent the wheel.
Now in order to be happy with your purchase and get people to not purchase something they don't need I must explain what this gym isn't. If you are a professional body builder or an extreme fitness person, this really isn't the product for you. On Day one without having lifted in six years, I put on every single band of resistance it had and I pushed it out with ease on the bench press. Obviously I will need to purchase the additional bands to meet my fitness goal. Most men looking to build mass will be better served with free weights. Free weights are better....but they take up a lot of space. Free weights build secondary stabilizer muscles that track workouts don't. And that is ok. That doesn't make this unit bad. I'm just pointing out what it isn't. This unit is for every day people who want to be fit from some light resistance training. Most people are not hard core fitness people or professional body builders. This gym is for you. Now there is another bowflex product similar to this one but this one is superior for one major reason. You don't have to switch out the cables when you change exercises. When doing stamina strength training, rest periods become crucial between sets. You want to keep your heart rate up and you don't want to be taking time switching cables out and cooling off. I super set and I kill it. Less than 15 seconds between sets.
So to summarize, great product, easy to assemble, will work for the majority of people's fitness goals, manuals are wonderfully thought out. I would buy this gym again. I am completely satisfied. Even though its not as effective as free weights, you don't need to devote an entire room to the unit. It fits in a 4 x 6 space and 8 foot ceiling. If you are a man and want to do a little mass training, you will need to include the extra resistance package unless you just want to do 25 reps per set and burn out. Its not enough weight for larger men.
Pros:
* Fast and easy to change resistance
* Does not take up a lot of space (most rooms will handle it just fine as long as you have about 6' x 6' space and enough height for the lat tower.
* Built in lat tower for upper back and chest exercises
* Upgradeable to 310 and 410lb of resistance
* Highly effective for muscle building and fat loss
* Very low maintenance, less complex parts, built solid
* Outstanding customer service at Bowflex!
Cons:
* For those that are experienced gym goers, the included resistance may not be enough for compound exercises such as squats and bench press (however, upgrading to 310 and 410 LB should be enough for most folks.
* The handles that come with the Bowflex are great, but I highly recommend buying shorter ones, that way you will get a LOT more resistance out of some of the exercises (such as bench press). The standard Bowflex handles are too long and doesn’t allow the rods to bend enough to get the full resistance in many exercises.
Overall, we really love this machine and if you are looking to get into shape, build and maintain a good amount of muscles, this will do the trick as long as you progressively overload and challenge your muscles, eat right, and stay consistent.
The 210lb resistance is plenty for me right now but it’s good to be able to upgrade down the road.

Received the machine on January 10th 2022 it took me less than two hours to assemble by myself ..the instructions are easy to follow and the parts are numbered.
My gf and I workout together on it and prefer this to going to a gym for our needs.
The workout we do is as follows
Day 1 chest and triceps
Chest press 4 sets x 10 reps
Chest flyes 4 sets x 10 reps
Standing triceps extensions 4 sets x 10 reps
Lying triceps extensions 4 sets x 10 reps
Moderate weight
Day 2 shoulders and legs
Shoulder press 4 sets x 10 reps
Shoulder flyes 4 sets x 10 reps
Leg extensions 4 sets x 10 reps
Leg press 4 sets x 10 reps
Squats 4 sets x 10 reps
Moderate weight
Day 3 back biceps abs
Seated rows 4 sets x 10 reps
Lat pull downs neutral grip 4 sets 10 reps
Standing biceps curls 4 sets x10 reps
Lying biceps curls 4 sets 10 reps
Seated crunches 4sets 10 reps
Moderate weight
Day 4 is rest day then repeat the cycle the following day.
We use a weight that keeps the form perfect and smooth using a moderate weight adding more weight when we are stronger but many exercises you don't need to add more weight to feel challenged and reasonably tired after a set.
We are pleased with the workouts and look forward to doing them. The machine is solid and looks great and the best part is it folds up taking up little room.
My advice is to make sure you use the velcro strap and tie the rods up at the top after use to keep the tension strong always. We also bought yoga blocks ..we use one to put between the back rest and seat so you can have your lower back against the back support when doing shoulder presses. We also use the yoga blocks to stand on when doing standing curls and shoulder flyes to allow for a full range of motion so there is constant tension from bottom to top. We also bought a different set of hand grips that are shorter than the original by 6 inches again for increases range of motion purposes on some exercises. It is not necessary but I have long arms so I find it helps me more. The unit comes with the leg press belt which is nice but I wish came with a lat pull down bar but will purchase one at a later date. We are already seeing and feeling results in our muscles after just 2 weeks which is exciting. I will say this machine has enough resistance to have a good workout and if your goals are the look of a men's health woman's health cover photo this machine will get you there with discipline dedication and a decent diet..just make sure you are eating enough good calories. Do the workouts.. no excuses.. be consistent and the results follow.
We are very pleased with this purchase ..its worth being excited and motivated about.
Cheers!

I've had this Bowflex Power Rod system for years. It gets a reasonable amount of use, but even after all this time, it is showing no signs of wear. Even the stickers on it have held up to years of use. 5 stars for durability and build quality alone.
The total "weight" that it comes with, by way of the power rods, maps to about 210 pounds. You can replace the rods with "heavier" ones if you like, but so far I haven't found the need to (did I just admit to being weak?). I like to set a decent amount of resistance and do a circuit at that weight. Second circuit, I add more weight, which literally takes seconds to accomplish.
The variety of exercises possible is very extensive, allowing you to target most everything. The seat has a good range of adjustability for various heights and the overall equipment takes very little space, considering how many exercises you can accomplish.
One recommendation I have is to get a third set of hand grips, which lets you place them on each of the major attachment points, high, mid, and low. This reduces some switching hand grips between exercises.
I don't see this wearing out any time soon, and I can definitely see and feel the results, so I can't hesitate to give it 5 stars all around.
