Bowflex Reviews
Not surprisingly, there are plenty of Bowflex reviews but we've had a few requests to add our own to the many Bowflex reviews already out there. CrossBow Bowflex and Bandflex are all similar type gyms that are often seen on TV. Like the Weider CrossBow Bowflex uses a rigid set of bars (which resist bending) to provide the resistance.
At the time of writing this there are 4 models of the Bowflex:
-
Ultimate
-
Power Pro
-
Motivator
-
Versatrainer
It is very similar to the Weider CrossBow in most ways. Particularly the types of exercises you can do. The major difference between the 2 besides the price is the orientation of the bending bars. On the Bowflex they are parallel to the lat tower but on the CrossBow they are perpendicular.
The advantages of this gym is are its versatility and the weight. Since there are no weight plates and stacks, the gym is quite light.
The major disadvantage of this gym is the price. The Bowflex is undoubtedly a fine piece of machinery but so are many other gyms that retail for a much lower price.
Our choice as the leading alternative to this gym is the Weider CrossBow which retails at about half the price of the Bowflex.
