Cons: expensive

Pros: A good, safe home workout.
Cons: Takes a little getting used to.

I purchased the Bowflex Power Pro after researching the various models. The Power Pro is the basic model. It does not include the leg extension or the overhead apparatus. With this model, I am able to exercise all the muscle groups....

Cons: It's a little expensive

Cons: Takes a bit of space; expensive.

Ab-roller, Ab-cruncher, stair-stepper, treadmills, ....you name the exercise equipment that has an infomercial and we've bought it! We've had our Bowflex Power Pro for over a year and I can honestly say it's the only exercise equipment I've ever used...

Cons: not for people who like freeweights.

I do not own one of these personally, but one of my friends uses it, and everytime i call him, hes always listening to tool, and working out on the bow flex. He likes it alot and uses it all the time, so after i couldnt stand it anymore, i got on it, and...

Pros: It turns a gym into one safe machine, and doesn't take hours to workout.
Cons: The weight rods only go up to 400 pounds.

I saw an ad for a bowflex in Spring of 1998. I thought it was kind of high in price, but it is cheaper in the long run when you compare it to going to a gym which is why I bought one..and it is still in good shape today! With a gym, you have to pay a ...

Pros: No heavy weight plates. You don't need a spotter.
Cons: Takes up a lot of space. Rods can wobble (..but is that a con?)

Pros: Really does have all exercises in one.
Cons: Only worth it if you are really going to use it.
