Seeking opinions on Bowflex?

I've heard that the Total Gym is better, but, having never tried a Bowflex, I can't give you a good comparison. I can say, however, that the Total Gym has many, many different exercizes that you can perform and it really gives you a great workout.

Try to get professional advice before you buy something like that. Go to a gym and see what the trainers think.

I've had the Total Gym for over a year and love it. Takes up half the space, if that, of a Bowflex.

What are your goals?

If you're looking to add muscle mass/get bigger, there's no substitute for the gym and free weights.

If you're just looking for some all around weight resistance excercises, they're fine. Never used a Bowflex, so I can't compare it to other systems.

right on the money
Right on the money, be sure you get what's best for YOUR needs. We have a bowflex because we can;t get to the gym often and can't have free weights in the house (plus my live-in girl would never be able to use free weights). Bo-flex has lots of models so be be sure to do your reseach, plus if you got the big bucks they have a new/heavy-duty one coming out this fall.

good luck!!!
