As a Police Officer, it is vitally important that I  stay strong. The "bad guys" seem to be working out more and more, and getting stronger as well. At 44 years old, I'm not as flexible as I once was, but I'm stronger than ever. For the ...

Pros: Simple to use; Well built; Safe; Easy to Move; Compact
Cons: Weight Straps are expensive to replace.

I bought my first Soloflex in 1984 after using a friend's unit a few times. I sold it a few years later to join a gym but bought another one as I missed working out at home and I missed the simplicity of the Soloflex. I'm 5'11' tall and my ...

Pros: Simple, no electronics, small foot space.
Cons: big attachments to move around, but worth it.

Most of the positive reviews state the obvious pluses for the machine. Simplicity is what I like most about it. But to reply to a previous post about "Avoid like the plague". That reviewer had legitimate observations. I myself experienced the same ...

Pros: Ease of use. Sturdy construction. Fitness rewards justify expense, ESPECIALLY long term. EXCELLENT customer service.
Cons: Not cardio-oriented (but so what?).

I have used my machine regularly and religiously for 17 years. I have realized not so much gains from when I first started, but TOTAL maintenance of my musculature. Its versatility is righteous. I don't have the free-weight accessories but I found ...

Pros: small footprint , many exercises, no jarrring on my joints, good results.
Cons: time to change parts, {no biggie}

The Soloflex Rockit is a very impressive piece of equipment. I've done all kinds of squats on all kinds of machines, including free weight squats. What the Soloflex Rockit offers, in comparison to other squat routines, is comfort, stability, and ease of ...

Pros: Small footprint, safety, number of exercises, easy to change between exercises, looks great.
Cons: Expensive, some exercises have an unacceptably strange feel to them.

I hate writing reviews but I felt compelled to write one on the Soloflex because there is so little accurate information available anywhere on the internet for those looking to do some research on this particular machine. Myself, I have trained on and ...

Cons: Leg Extension attachment non-adjustable. WeightStraps are VERY expensive to replace.

I've been using a Soloflex Muscle Machine for twenty years. The Soloflex machine has been around since 1978... and pretty much has stayed the same - give or take a few comfort related improvements - and the added Butterfly and Leg Extension ...

Pros: See review body
Cons: See review body

I bought my Soloflex about 16 years ago. I've used it fairly inconsistently during that time, in on-again-off-again cycles, not because of the SF but because of "life". I've read the other reviews with great interest. It seems to me that if you're an ...

Pros: Easy to use, no heavy weights to lug around, perfect in every way, accepts freeweights.
Cons: Weightstraps can wear out, but can be purchased at soloflex or ebay.

I have worked out for the past twenty years since becoming a police officer and recently decided to purchase a soloflex to have a home gym. I was not disappointed. I have found the soloflex to be perfect in every way. From it's great looks, it is ...

Pros: Very sturdy, built to last. Pull up and dip exercises, real weight resistance.
Cons: Short bench and leg ext., a little difficult for a taller person, price.

I have the Soloflex and the Bowflex and I prefer the Soloflex. I first bought the Soloflex for about $1600.00 and you get everything all in one box, the dip bar, leg ext., resistance plates, etc. It does not take up a lot of room and although very ...

Pros: Works all leg muscles, calves and buttocks; well made.
Cons: Really none.

Cons: Extremely Pricey to replace weight straps. 

I'm writing as I purchased a used Soloflex several weeks ago. I'd like to add my thoughts of this useful piece of equipment so that others can make thoughtful decisions. I won't be going over what all comes with the system as that info is ...
