Bowflex or not?

[cold85]

I only have time to go to the gym about two days a week now with the job and my new son I have room for a bowflex. Do they work good in junction with going to the gym and if so what model should i look for used.

I used to have one.....I didn't like it......

i had one and really liked it. I dieted for a bit and worked on it every night. dropped 30 lbs. Got lazy, sold it, and went back to old routine ... 30lbs is back .... :)

if u got the room for it, get it. We had the Ultimate 2 or something like that. if u can, and i know u can ... dont fall into their financing trap ... take u forever to pay the thing off ....

$1500 machine end up costing $5000plus.

Always a few on craigslist. I'm sure there's a deal in between some of the bullshit listings.

Would like to get one too but I have no room for it.

Depends on your goals. I bought my wife the bowflex revolution. She used it once. Since I paid so much for the damn thing I decided to use it. Being a life long gym rat I was pretty suprised at how well it worked.

it does work... if thats what u r worried about .... just make sure u never leave tension on the rods when not working out. always bundle them back up and strap them down ... otherwise they will wear out quickly.

The revolution does not have rods. It uses plates. They actually just look like plates. But if you can afford the revolution I recommend it over the others. My wife had the base model which she never used also. I didn't like it at all.
