if you want a piece of equipment for home get a fit ball and some adjustable dumbells.

I have heard a few people who have used them say they will really give you a work out. Still not free weights. I thought about it for my home gym but got a used smith machine a lot cheaper and iron is better.

It sucks. The weight doesn't go up high enough at all and the way the movements are are somewhat awkward.

I saw that damn infomercial a year or 2 ago and ended up buying one(mistake). While I believe it is ok to use once and a while, I would not use it if I had a choice. The nice thing about it is your workouts don't take very long. Paid $1400 had it a year and sold the damn thing for $400.



If ya can get one cheap and need a home gym, it might not be bad. But I'll stick to free weights.

tried one at the store, i made up my mind to buy one from the infomercial, just had to test it out to make sure, i walked out not wanting one, most of the movements felt kinda jerky, and it wasn't as easy to roll as i thought to put away, i ended up buying a power cage,bench,lat machine and dumbells, and about 700lbs total weight,total cost was still alot cheaper then the bowflex, i think the bowflex was around 3500 CDN, and my weights cost around 1700CDN
