BowFlex Home Gym Workout Systems

1 week into using this product here is my review. It says 2 people to assemble. Yes 2 people would of made it easier but I was alone so 1 person is all you need. Fit and function. So far it is very easy to use, easy to switch exercises and provides a lot of exercise options which is good to keep variety alive. Only negative I would say is if I was much taller it would be some hitting of your head when you lay down on the machine. I am 6’4 and have to i love you down and make sure I am as far to the leg part as possible to not hit my head. Overall seems very sturdy and well made and I am happy with this purchase. I am using this for a total body workout while in a small work apartment. Folding option for more space when not using it is great.

This is a great system - especially in that it provides an aerobic rowing option - yup...rowing! This thing is actually fun to use. Has a holder (two red things on main vertical beam) that adjust to hold whatever device you put in there...for your phone/tablet to watch video while you row or listen to music etc while working out. This is a very high quality made device. Easy to assemble (states two persons required - I did it alone in about 2 hours going at a casual pace, however I would recommend asking for help moving the box as it weighs 144lbs...did that alone too...but was definitely a challenge getting it to our basement). Took up less space than I thought, meaning I thought I would have to leave a lot of space to the sides to account for the power rods to bend outward...but they stay close to the machine somehow so I was able to put it a lot closer to a wall than expected on one side. Also - the long front part folds up to get it out of the way if needed. Using this system has been easy and the booklet includes many different workout routines. Assembly tip - do not use the included weird "wrenches", if they could be called that, go find a separate wrench and separate socket wrench with right sized socket to use on the nuts and bolts.

It's great, does the job. I've been able to get a good workout at home targeting most muscle groups. I have found several helpful YouTube channels that provide different types of workouts. It was a breeze to setup. I'm satisfied with my purchase. The Bowflex is built to last for many years to come, so it's worth the investment. I purchased the Amazon service for having it delivered inside the door of my house for $9.99 The guys were great and it worked out perfectly.

The quality of the machine is amazing. The assembly instructions are very good, but I did have to buy a better wrench which gave me more power. As a 70 year old petite woman, I had to take the box apart where it was left by my back door and carry a few parts in at a time. I was able to put several pieces together myself, but needed a third hand for final assembly. Unfortunately my body ached for several days due to some of the positions I found myself in while assembling. My score reflects the fact that this machine does not work for very short people....I am under 5'. The handles are a foot long which makes the rowing function useless plus there is no way to secure your feet. I cannot do any exercises in the partial horizontal position. In addition being so short makes the leg lift function useless. I did write Nautilus twice about the handles as the material states that is the best way to reach them. However they never responded....so much for customer service. My machine is brand new, barely used and I plan on selling it to someone who would come get it. Needless to say I cannot move it.

As a multifunctional home fitness equipment, the price is reasonable, the functions are relatively complete, and the quality is good. It is more convenient to adjust the intensity and replace the function, and it is worth investing in it for easy exercise at home. The fly in the ointment is that the rowing machine doesn't work very well. Missing pedals, the foot is on the middle bar, the position is too high. The human body needs to adapt, and the position of the pedal should adapt to the human body. Secondly, the rowing action is to kick the legs first and then bend the arms. The legs are weak and the arms are too strong. In the online teaching video, it is proposed to buy an elastic rubber belt, put it on the column, and provide it for the arms to pull. This is neither convenient nor safe. Room for improvement.

excelente gym. buena calidad de los materiales y facil de armar.

Purchased the Bowflex PR1000 very pleased with this machine overall. I love the wide variety of exercises and you can make your workout harder or lighter based on your mood that day. Perfect for all ages. Some exercises you simply cannot do on any other machine for example the seated row.. leg press and shoulder press which makes this unit a good over all choice. 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!

This is a great inexpensive home gym. I highly recommend. I would like if it had more resistance rods but for the price this is excellent. You can easily do many exercises and for most it provides ample resistance. It falls short on resistance for bench press and rowing but I can live with that. It assembled quite easily, I would recommend you have a second set of hands close by and a decent socket set. It folds up to be very compact but it is heavy. I am very happy to have this, I use it 3-4 times a week and I have certainly seen results.

Producto muy versátil.

The machine is easy to assemble. Being at the entry level of the bowflex home gym collection, it is affordable, suitable for strength training/sport conditioning, and I’m pleasantly surprising with the nice finishing of the bench. However, transitioning to overhead shoulder exercise is a bit cumbersome. I ended up buying an extra set of resistance band handle to eliminate one extra step. Also, I wish it comes with a laminated exercise poster.
