Review: Brilliant machine - I will openly admit that I was highly skeptical of the Bowflex for a long time before I actually bought it. Simply put, it seemed a bit too much like one of the many fitness gimmicks or fads out there. I had previously been going to a 24 hour fitness gym routinely (i.e., 2-4 times a week) for the past 2-3 years, which I liked and enjoyed. However, after I had a baby, my time starting becoming increasingly limited and so I finally decided to gamble on a Bowflex from desertcart. I have had it now for a little over 3 months and wanted to wait to review it because I really wanted to spend some time evaluating it (again, was very skeptical). I feel comfortable doing so now. I will list my observations below: 1. The price and free shipping through desertcart were unbeatable. Although you can pick this older version of the Bowflex up at Academy Sports and many other big chain stores for a similar price, having it delivered to your garage was very nice and convenient. 2. Assembly was really very simple, and I'm not mechanic at all. It took me about an hour and was very easy/unproblematic. 3. The machine is very sturdy -- sturdier than I anticipated in fact. I don't see it failing structurally anytime soon. 4. The power rods are also very sturdy. I actually set out with the mindset that I'm going to try to break the damn things (not literally, but not hold back on them) and just see if they hold up. Thus far, they have been amazing. 5. The versality of the system -- while obviously not a full gym -- is really pretty amazing. You can get a nice full body workout with it. Granted, you will lose the ability to do some of the exercises available in a full gym or on some bigger much more expensive systems, but I've honestly gotten more ripped and in better shape with the Bowflex than I did after years of going to the gym doing free weight and machine training, so that downside is really minimized or offset by the end result. 6. I was very concerned about the seemingly low resistance weight (supposedly 210 lbs, which seemed like a joke), but not anymore. I am an average sized guy (5'11", 175) and it is more than adequate. Granted, I'm not trying to become a body-builder with this thing, but instead trying to get a good, strong resistance workout and have been able to do just that with resistance weight (rods) to spare. No concerns at all with resistance level/weight (some folks have complained about the weight being lighter than what it is supposed to be, but even if it is, it hasn't affected me at all. Just find your preferred resistance and you are set; the numbers really don't matter once you learn the system, which is quick to do). 7. Using the machine is incredibly efficient. I can now get nearly the same workout I was getting at my 24-hr gym in literally half the time (or actually less) with no waiting and super quick change outs between exercises, the latter of which I was initially worried about being too burdensome. It's not at all. Super fast and efficient. 8. Regarding the size, it is about what you'd expect from a standard bench press set-up, only it folds up nicely. I have mine in the garage and have no complaints about its size or space and neither does my wife. 9. Regarding the resistance exercise vs. standard weight and machine training issue/debate, there is a difference and it does take a little bit to get used to, but I did within the first work-out or two and now very much prefer resistance training. You get resistance both ways and have a greater range of motion than most gym machines (and with free weights you often need some type of support). That is about it. I have come to love this thing and am very glad I got it. I can now workout at home anytime I want to without waiting and really enjoy it. It is super fast and efficient and very sturdy and challenging. It is a brilliant machine and concept and I highly recommend it if you have the right expectations.
Review: Awesome Workout! - This is exactly what I wanted! I LOVE it! It is easy to use. The movement is smooth, it feels substantial, not flimsy. I have been doing the 20 minute Better Body Workout for a month now, three times a week. I can see a LOT of improvement in my muscle tone already, and I have replaced some fat with muscle! I am a 58 year old, post menopausal woman, so yes, you CAN see improvement even if you are not young! I would NOT miss a workout, it is so much fun and so enjoyable. You will need some room for this machine, it is pretty large. I have a bedroom I keep it in, which is now my private gym! I love being able to just go into the room, put on my workout music, and have a private workout session. I had help putting it together, well, actually, I had someone do it for me. It took him less than an hour to put it together. Update: Almost 3 months later, I cannot BELIEVE how much improvement I've seen in my body composition! I recently had a checkup and my doctor was impressed with the improvements also. I've lost about a size, I would say. My body is much leaner and fit, and my chronic pain I lived with for years is very much diminished. I combine the Better Body Workout (in the manual you get with the machine) with some crunches, some yoga, some stretching.. in all about an hour's workout 3 times a week. My diet has not changed that much, I was already on a carb controlled diet and that was not really helping. I was already walking 30-60 minutes a day and that was not really helping. THIS helped! I feel better than I have in YEARS. It is worth EVERY DOLLAR!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: space required**
A: Height of seven(7) feet required. Depth of approximately. Seven (7) feet when bench lowered and approx. 3to4 feet when bench in raised position (for when not in use.). Width approx. 3to4 feet. Hope this gives you some idea.

**Q: What is the weight of the product assembled for the purposes of moving it?**
A: It isn't hard to move, as it weighs in at 125lbs. However due to bulk with bench out, use two people. My wife and I assembled in an open area of our garage then moved it to the area it will be utilized in with zero difficulty.

**Q: how many peices does it come in and what tools will i need**
A: There is a large box full of well-organized, well-machined components, with very clear step-by-by instructions.  Kind of fun exercise, actually.  All you need is a couple wrenches.

**Q: How do you tone your bum and abbs 
on it?**
A: For abs I lie down with my feet hooked under the leg bar and do sit ups.  For the gluteus I would use the strap behind the heel and do straight leg pull backs. I haven't done a lot of work on this and I am certainly not an expert.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Satisfied
*by M***E on March 28, 2012*

Read many reviews on many websites. And after looking it all over, I figured I knew enough about working out, how to use equipment, and that the huge difference in price between the PR1000 and the next model up was not worth it. Overall, I'm glad with my decision to purchase the PR1000. Free shipping with Amazon and about $75 cheaper than picking up at my local Walmart, so this was a bonus. Got in one day after I ordered it. Came UPS right to my front door, so this was another bonus since I didn't have to go through the store process of getting it to my door by myself. Assembly was easy. Probably an hour to put together. One negative that influenced my purchase was that I have seen in some reviews that you can max out the weights (especially with the leg press) and you cannot upgrade it. I completely understand this, however, I think for 90% of owners, the 210 lbs it came with is not going to be a factor. The whole idea with this machine is to go SLOWER than using free weights. You also get the force of the rods in BOTH directions of the exercise. So if you are doing a bicep curl, for instance, you would be taking 2-4 seconds to do the upward motion against the resistance rods and then 2-4 seconds going back down against the resistance rods...with each complete motion you are getting DOUBLE workout. If you are doing it in a paced controlled manner, getting up to the 210 lbs weight limit doing 8-12 reps of 4-8 second motions...times 2-4 sets of reps...this is a LOT of working out for one exercise. If you are a gym rat, yes indeed you could be saying that's not enough weight for you. But if you are Joe/Jane Public getting your 30 minute workout each day, you will have trouble getting out of bed the next morning maxing out the rods on your exercises assuming you are doing them with the suggested methods. And quite frankly, you are beyond home gym and need to get into a real gym at that point. So the big negative I read about not being able to upgrade the weights may or may not ever be reached by me given my workout habits. I'm just looking for strength training and so far after a couple of weeks, I'm super pleased with it overall. Only takes about 30 seconds to change over from bicep curls to leg curls or a lat pull down. Its really really simply. All the pulleys, attachments, and surfaces are nicely built and comfortable to use. I don't have any negatives so far other than that I wish you could lay down on the bench and somehow do hamstring curls. You can only do it standing in an awkward fashion, but it does concentrate right on the glutes and hammy. Comparing the weight numbers on the resistance rods to what you can do in free weights...well, you can just forget that. Since you are using a machine, you do get a bit of a mechanical advantage. However, its not as easy as you think that you can do more weight. You are pulling at angles that don't necessarily give you the mechanical advantage you expect. And when you are doing the exercises in a slow and deliberate manner, the 10th rep feels 5x heavier than the 1st rep. Its deceiving and you need a few workouts to work out your ideal weight resistance rods. Folding it up and down is very easy. I hate to say it, but even my wife can do it without help ;) Once she used it a few times, she doesn't need my help at all on how to switch out to do another exercise; what handle goes where, etc. I would assume for most people that your experience would be the same and you could quickly change from one exercise to another. There is a manual that comes with it that covers most exercises that would concentrate on a particular area. It also includes a couple of varied training regiments with suggestions for Day 1, Day 2, etc. Very useful, I think. Overall, I think it was a great purchase for $450. I easily get a quality workout on professional quality equipment. Compared to my days of going to the gym and spending more time waiting inline for equipment than using it, I LOVE my BowFlex.
