There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Build: First let me say a friend is essential to put this monster together in a reasonable amount of time. The issue is there are tight tolerances so loose fitting all the screws then tightening them at counter points is a must. Also the parts are labeled in tiny print at each bolt is named by size, thread depth and not an easy alphabetical system. Seriously you will be squinting and thinking you are crazy. It will work out. The item is sturdy and fits me at 6'3". It will eventually rust as it is steel which is normal for home gym equipment (only perfectionists will care but they will). It is well made and built like good home gym equipment. Buy Rogue if you want nicer and hate your wallet. Nothing out of the norm. The bench can also be improved with more resistance rods. Ohhhh yea the box it came in was a total mess on delivery and I was shocked the machine inside was unscathed. I was shocked it lacked blemishes given how tenuous the box's existence was. Moving this box was the first workout this machine provided then assembly was the second.
Workouts: It does what cable pull machines, free weights and barbells can do. Basically replacing a bench press station, leg presses and putdown machines. It giving about 3 feet of travel on the wire. So you can do most actions excluding dead lifts. Again think bench press station. This is good for what it is. The Xceed allows most of what the higher end machines bow-flexes provide. However you will be using caravanserai to change from task to task. This is easy enough but quicker carbeaners can really speed things up. I also like to leave spare or additional grips on at the same time to speed up transitions. The X2SE does not require wire manipulation and thus is nicer but sorks humbrid vs shwift teen humbrid on the official bow-flex web page is a lot. Resellers are making a killing in 2020. Some reviews are fixated on comparing this to gravity workouts, they are not the exact same. Gravity can offer more resistance but is much more expensive and space consuming. Most people will never get to the point of outgrowing this machine. Those that have outgrown this machine flood the reviews with dumb but honest stuff. But this is a nice machine if you know it is easier than gravity. But a nice gravity bench and lat pull down, leg machine is some coin. Buying the wight plates puts you up at the X2SE price and not the Eceed. Basically if the price is good you get so much more for your money. People who bring up the discrepancy over resistance are not wrong, it is true. But they miss the point, this machine is inexpensive for what it provides the resistance is astonishing. two 50 lb barbells are currently half the price of the machine. Also the resistance rises the cooler the nylon rods are. Like a memory foam mattress.
Who should get this: Reasonable goals and working people with limited space/time/budget. My big advice on getting a bow flex is they are a great start point for working out. It is self contained, looks nice and holds up well. Also you can start with super low resistance and work up. Also the way it sits makes watching TV and working out easy. The gentle resistance is good for rehabbing injuries and allows you to move up in resistance as well as keep both sides of your body honest and balanced. The machine is also good if you are older as you can set it to what you need. The machine will get you pretty big if that is a goal. But reasonably so. 400+lbs resistance is more than most will ever get to. If you are a lifter/bodybuilder you will need a gym. As a former swimmer and martial artist, it will make you look good by those standards. Line backer..... probably not. Cross-fit.....Buy a box and an old truck tire then play on the local jungle gym.
Close: Again, for the real price this machine is hard to beat for a workout from beginner to advanced workouts. Expert and professional level is something else but this can get you to needing that next level. Which, again for the price is amazing.
Tl;dr version: it's a solid, well-built machine that is a great fit for certain people, but probably not for everybody.
I've used every imaginable piece of workout equipment, and this one is pretty unique amongst the resistance training options out there. I feared that the resistance would feel hokey, maybe more like resistance bands with pulleys and handles than real weights. However, this is not the case. While it does not feel exactly like a weight stack, it's a reasonable facsimile up through medium resistance levels (really high resistance does feel funny and unsatisfying). What you get in exchange for this sacrifice is a machine that can work any possible muscle and muscle combination with a fraction of the weight and floorspace of an equivalent free-weight setup.
I've religiously tied the rods back up after every workout with a strip of velcro, and they're still providing similar resistance to what they provided out of the box. The $100 plastic gizmo they sell for this is not at all necessary to achieve this: an shoelace is just as effective.
Having to change the pulleys and carabiners between exercises was annoying at first, but once I got used to it it was fine. I know there is a more expensive model that has extra sets of pulleys and thus less changing between exercises, but I don't think it's worth it. At the end of the day, it doesn't take any more time than changing plates on a bar, changing machines, or racking dumbbells like you would in a gym.
Who this is NOT for, in my opinion, is the following:
--Someone looking to seriously bulk up and get ripped. I'm pretty sure the guy in the promo photos did not get that way with a Bowflex machine. It's less effective and less natural at high resistance, and I'm pretty sure buying the extra power rods to really challenge a serious weightlifter would not change this.
--Someone obsessed with tracking improvement over time in a very precise way. The power rods are numbered with weight values, but they don't seem to have much to do with actual pounds, and the resistance they provide is such that it can be hard to know what's progress and what's a rod that you've been using for an hour and is just getting a little tired.
--Someone for whom the machine is meant to be the primary fitness outlet. I don't think it's meant for that.
On the other hand, if you want an endlessly variable set of resistance exercises to stay tone and/or support other primary activities (running, cycling, golf, etc) and you don't have a ton of space for a stack and a mountain of free weights, this is a solid option. Setup was time-consuming but straightforward, and after maybe 100 workouts it's as good as new.

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!
Il venditore è stato disponibile e mi ha contattato per delle informazioni aggiuntive. Complimenti, è così che si lavora.
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.
