My buddies dad has one and it is a pretty good piece of machinery, but is a little jerky on some of the movements in that arms are independant of each other and the tension bars are a little awkward at first. His problem was that he wasn't motivated to use it in his home as much as goto the gym, hence he rarely uses it anymore

You need to get a Tony Little Gazelle before you even think of moving up to a Bowflex! That is too hard core!

I'm not sure about the Bowflex but I was at a sporting goods store yesterday and saw a Crossbow. I jumped on it and tried to do a chest press and it didn't feel right. Then I tried to curl it and that felt retarded too. You're better off sticking to free weights.

correct me if i'm wrong but isnt a bowflex around 1500 dollars?
thats like the cost of a gym membership for about 3-4 yrs.
and no way the boflex is going to be better then even a shitty gym.

Say no to the bow. Get a power rack, adjustable bench, and olympic weight set. Much cheaper and more effective.

They often have killer deals and free shipping. That's where I bought mine. The prices are much cheaper than anything you'll find driving around, and the quality of their stuff is excellent.

I don't use anything so elaborate.. just your basic power rack and bench is all you need.

Thats got to be the biggest bullsh** piece of equipment ever offered. I've sat and watched the info-mercial and laugh at how much fun their having and how great of a workout they all pretend to be getting. How can you get a full body workout from a rowing maching?
i worked at a sporting goods store once, and they had total gyms
i tried it out and it sucked ass, it was even worse than the bowflex
the total gym had like no resitance at any of the levels
get a basic rack and an adjustible bench
when its time to move up, get dumbells
IMHO

We often take the time durring our daily workout to comment on one individual or anothers need for a bowflex. In our mind the bowflex is what those people who do not want to make gains should use. It isn't going to help you get in shape or develope strength but it does make a huge dent in your pocket book and looks neat in the corner.
NO BOWFLEX!!! Unless of course you really don't want to grow/change.

i dont think the bowflex is that bad if your just trying to stay in shape.
if i was going to spend 1500 dollars, you can bet your sweet bippy i would by a powerrack, adjustable bench and freeweights.
bowflex, and total gym are not bad peices of equipment at all. and you will get good results off them following a good diet program.
just do 1 thing............. never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever follow the routine they give you.
30 minutes a day, 3 times a week will get you squat.
if your just dying to get a bowflex, go ahead, thats your decision, but come here and ask for a program, or look at the training methods stick at the top and follow something like a 5x5 program, and you will see results.
but again, imho, get a powerack like joker posted.
