Cons: The price is a bit high, but what premium do you place on your health?
Summary: If you've accepted responsibility for your health, this is the tool! After a lot of investigation, I decided to make the investment in myself and chose the Bowflex Pro.

Pros: Sturdy machine with a lot of exercises
Cons: Price, for one
Summary: This is it - my major, major investment in my new fitness regime. It's one thing to buy a bench and some dumbbells. What's that gonna cost you, $100, $150? But to spend over $1000 on a product - that means something. If you're just gonna putz around, ... read more

Pros: Great results in a no time!
Cons: Could be a bit more rugged
Summary: I bought my power pro a few months back, specifically so I could fit in a Tux and not a tent.
I was pretty athletic through most of a High School and about half of college, but finally working and studying got the best of me. The pounds ... read more

Pros: Excellent machine with variety of exercises for each muscle group; compact; nice "feel"
Cons: Getting into position is sometimes difficult and awkward
Summary: Infomercial products, especially "miracle exercise products" such as the Bowflex or the Soloflex usually have a stigma attached to them as gimmicky or a fad. Do these machines live up to their far-fetched claims? Or will they end up on the ... read more

Pros: provides good workout, easy to use

Pros: Straightforward assembly, ease of use, speed of exercise changes, speed of weight changes, no need for a spotter, effectiveness of upper body exercises
Cons: Some assembly woes, the two stoppers on the handles slid out of place, lower body exercises not as effective as upper body
Summary: I'm sure everyone who watches TV at least one hour a week has already heard of the machine called the Bowflex. Well after being spoonfed these infomercials as I sat down every weekend watching either ESPN or the Sci-Fi Channel, I decided, hey, why not ... read more

Cons: Proper Technique is Critical, so make sure you are performing the exercise correctly

Pros: Works great, if fun, easy to use and effective
Cons: costs $999, that may be too much for some
Summary: Over the years at some point every TV watcher has seen a Bowflex commercial. In the commercial the product looks, fun, easy to use, and most importantly, effective. You need need equipment that is all of that.

Cons: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Pros: Quick and efficient workout
Cons: None!!
Summary: The Power Pro is an excellent product that will give you everything that you put into it. The knuckleheads that state that it will not keep you in shape, are the same guys that say that performance-drugs are good for you. This machine is very durable

Pros: Easy storage, lots of exercises, ease of use
Cons: Inaccurate weight, nothing else :-)
Summary: Did you know the Bowflex does not, in fact, go up to 210 pounds but only 105 (without upgrade)? That is true because I took a five-pound free weight, did a curl, then put 5 pounds on the Bowflex on one side and it felt lighter than the free

Pros: convenient
Cons: rods can wear out (and can't replace)

Pros: Compact, versatile and easy to use. The company is responsive and helpful.
Cons: Squat attachment is a little awkward.
Summary: I have had my Bowflex for 3 years now and love it. It is compact, challenging, comfortable and easy to use. The exercises are easy to do and there's room for invention. It is way better than having a weight machine because it's so light and
