Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym (Refurbished) Review

Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym (Refurbished)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have seen those Bowflex infomercials for 20 years now and was the first to say "Yeah right". I believed there was no way it can be as easy as they say it was. I couldn't be MORE wrong. I've owned the Bowflex for 1 month now and cannot believe how easy, fun and fast results have happened. Its simply AMAZING! I love it!

Let me start with the quality. As I was putting it together I was shocked at how well its built. Very study, heavy duty. No cheesy parts.
Second, the DVD that came with it explained everything to me on how each exercise should be preformed safely and to get the best results.
Third, it tells you that you have to commit to a complete healthy life style. You can workout on it as much as you want but if you don't eat right, your NOT going to see the results your looking for.
So, I did just what they told me too.... 1 month, dropped 13 pounds. I can actually SEE the results too! Pants are not staying up, shirts are not as tight and I feel GREAT! Its SO easy if you commit and now that I am actually seeing and feeling the results I am excited to see what happens at the end of 2 months, 4 months, 6 months.
If you have joint problems like I do, this machine is awesome. I struggled with free weights. My joints would ache while working out. With the Bowflex... NOT ONE ISSIUE!
If you're tired of looking like a marshmallow and feeling like a piece of balsa wood, I strongly recommend the Bowflex. It WORKS! Worth every penny I spent on it.
If I had to say anything negative it would be this. It took me about 5 hours to put together but I was able to do it by myself. It wasn't that it was hard or confusing to put together, just took a little while. Still, I am PRO Bowflex. Love it, Love it, LOVE IT!

Looking for a total body workout but you're on a budget? The refurbished Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE offers a compact total-body workout solution that allows you to perform over 70 exercises. It includes a Lat Tower that adjusts to two positions, leg extension for developing strong, muscular legs, an abdominal crunch shoulder harness to help you build strong, defined abs, and a 4-position lower pulley/squat station that helps in building your glutes, hamstrings, and quads.

They're precisely manufactured from a high-tech composite material under the highest quality control measures, then sheathed and tested 4 separate times to ensure quality and durability. The Power Rod units are so strong, you can flex them repeatedly but you won't be able to wear them out.

Total Gym 1700 Club Review

Total Gym 1700 Club
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
A 44-year-old woman that doesn't enjoy exercise writes this review. I spent many years as an overworked hospital administrator that did not take the time to keep myself in top physical condition. I purchased this product after realizing that that it was used in the rehabilitation gyms in the hospital where I worked. The Physical Therapists not only used this equipment for their patients, but also worked out on the equipment themselves at lunchtime and after work. You can get a great workout on this piece of equipment. Both my husband and myself use this piece of equipment.
Pros:
1.Well made piece of equipment, smooth movement during exercise
2.Can be used by both males and females
3.Weight limit of 350 pounds
4.Ability to add 75 pounds of additional weight to the bar for added resistance
5.Challenges muscles, young and old (you will know that you have exercised the next day)
6.Allows you to move quickly and easily through different exercises
7.Excellent Pilates reformer stand in
8.Easy to collapse to storage
9.Folds into a reasonably small size for storage (will slide under a bed or into a closet)
Cons:
1.It is a little heavy if you plan to move it very far. Mine is now permanently set up to encourage exercise.
2.Purchase an additional Pilates reformer exercise routine (check Amazon for options) if that is your primary reason for this purchase.
If you are seriously considering this piece of equipment I would recommend finding a friend with one and working out on it a few times before making the decision to buy this. My husband and I have discussed upgrading to the next model up (about twice the price) when this one bites the bullet. Overall we are very happy with this purchase and would recommend this product, or the more expensive models.

Want to tone your entire body without buying a complete home gym? Check out the Total Gym 1700 Club, which helps you strengthen and sculpt every major muscle group in your body using a single glide board and a few handy attachments. The Total Gym 1700 Club works by making you lift a percentage of your body weight against gravity, making the resistance smooth and fluid. As your strength and conditioning improves, you increase the total resistance by boosting the incline, thus increasing the body weight lifted in the exercise. The Total Gym 1700 Club thus not only works your upper body, but also your lower body, abdominals, and even your cardiovascular system. And by reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean muscle mass in your body, the strength training effectively turns up the thermostat so that your body burns calories constantly.
The Total Gym 1700 Club also offers several handy attachments that add a new dimension to your workout: a Pilates bar that helps you improve your range of motion and balance; a weight bar that lets you add up to 75 pounds of additional free weights to intensify your workouts (weights sold separately); dip bars and press-up bars; and an exercise mat to help protect your floor. All it takes to get in great shape is 15 to 20 minutes per day, three to four times a week.
Key Features:
Pilates Bar to add a new dimension to your workout by helping you improve your range of motion and balance
Dip Bars and Press Up Bars add exercise versatility
Exercise mat protects your floor
A larger glideboard for workout comfort
Wider tower for added stability
Auto-lock height adjustment
Exercise flip chart for easy reference while exercising

My whole family loves this attachement. Only regret we have is that we should have bought it at the same time we purchased the machine. Works great for my itty bitty teenager up to my hubby who weighs 225 pounds.

Vertical Knee Raise Attachment. Specially contoured, oversized back pad, arm pads and handgrips add comfort to the grueling abdominal, shoulder and triceps workouts you can get from the combination Vertical Knee Raise Dip Station. Not recommended for the faint hearted, this is one option that builds champions. NOTE This station cannot be used with the MH30 Multi Hip Station. One or the other can be attached to the EXM3000LPS, not both. For use with EXM3000LPS Home Gym only.
