Thanks for the review! The Bowflex is also a great for second floors, Apartments and Condos. Besides not having an extremely heavy machine (including you) sitting in one spot, there is no banging of weights to annoy neighbors. Also after set up, you can easily move it around as you add items to grow your exercise room or home gym.

I bought an Extreme2 on FB marketplace for $300. It had been outside under a porch roof for years but cleaned up great when I got it home. With some new power rods it is like new. I always wanted one when I was a young lad, but they were really expensive in the pre-internet age. Bowflex had a payment plan back then. The build quality is very good; I like it. The Extreme2 came with the original manual. Should I send in the product registration card? :-)

So I just bought a used Exceed off of my local Marketplace for $100 and thought I got a good deal but upon inspecting it! I realize it is missing quite a few things and the rods are worn out and even the block that holds the rods is broken and wont stay in its holder! I had planned on ordering the resistance bands that you mentioned so wasnt worried about the rods! One thing that is very important that is missing is the short bar thats bolted to the frame that you use to do crunches along with the bolts that hold the top cross bar in! Ugh! I cant believe I bought this! Not sure if i want to fix this and make it work or sell it for parts and get the Extreme 2 that I wanted for $300. I usually do my research and learn everything about anything i purchase like this and this one time i didn't and im kicking myself! Im a newbie to working out(long story) but I am 47 now and feeling the effects of not working out! Im not over weight as i am 6'10" and 230lbs but im noticing and feeling flabby! I can make this work and come up with some work arounds to make it work long enough to atleast get my moneys worth! Just venting and hopeing that anyone who reads this and are looking for a used Bowflex knows to research and make sure you know what one of hese looks like from top to bottom and take your time inspecting it!

Ugh, that is really unfortunate to hear. I have a similar, but not as bad, experience with buying a Bowflex Blaze about 18 months ago. I spent a while trying to salvage it, but purchasing a few parts to make it functional just was far more expensive than buying another. I've more or less, scraped it for parts and planning to buy another Blaze at some point for the channel (unsure if it'll be used or new). If I were in your shoes and the $300 XTREME was still available, I'd purchase it and transplant the XCEED's 50lb rods to it. I'd then take apart the non-functional one and set aside the extra pulleys, cables, clips, and then recycle the machine at a local scrapyard--that's my plan at least with the Blaze. At some point I want to record a video of tips about purchasing a used Bowflex. If you have any pictures or advice on that, feel free to shoot me an email (BowflexWorkouts@gmail.com) or post it in the facebook group. Doesn't have to be long or anything, just a "look out for this and that" with a pictures would be helpful.

got a question I got one of the OG bow flex machines..., I always though could a guy not hook the opposite side to the rods? so Left rods work for right work out and vice versa. I've never wanted to try for fear of busting something and I really don't want to replace but if thats the case you could really get a lot more weight out of your machine too....., anyways just a thought.
@BowflexWorkouts

This was a helpful video. Here in Guadalajara Mexico, I only see the xceed on Amazon Mexico along with the 300 and 400 pound upgrades. Maybe that would be good enough, but it's a shame I can't find one of the models that makes everything easier to adjust. Either way, I'll probably supplement my purchase if I do go with this with a free weight bench for chest and either adjustable dumbbells or a set of dumbbells. Debating between Bowflex and the Marcy MWM-990 for my cable exercises. So many people complain with xceed about having the rod switching during workouts, and that is what is scaring me. I'm guessing after a while you get very good at switching them fast?
@BowflexWorkouts
@BowflexWorkouts Жыл бұрын
Keith, thanks for the comment! Changing the weight (rods) only takes about 10 seconds. It's super easy. Re-running the cables to a different pulley, not so much. Takes a minute or so and breaks up the flow of a workout if you're changing them back and forth a lot. When I design (and post) routines here, cable and weight changes are something I think about a lot, so check those out if you do buy. The manual's routines do involve lots of adjustments though.

Hey man! Just discovered your videos, great stuff. I'm about to get a used Bowflex, and I've found a PR1000, Xceed, and Blaze for basically the same (inexpensive) price. Which of these machines would you say is the best overall? FWIW, I'm open to atypical upgrades like the resistance band addition you mention, though less enthusiastic about taking a hack saw to its resell value, and I'm a pretty strong 165 lb guy so I'll wanna increase weight capacity beyond minimum somehow. On paper, it seems to me that the Blaze may be the best of all worlds? -PR1000 comes with an adjustable bench (which can be used for non-bowflex workouts) and can become a pretty great row machine (after your upgrades) - BUT has lower power rod limitations and no pulldown bar. -Xceed has the pulldown bar which is great, more potential exercises overall, and higher power rod limitations - BUT no rowing capability. -Blaze = rowing and an adjustable bench like the PR1000 but a pulldown bar and higher weight limit like the Xceed. Thanks! Looking forward to following your channel.
@BowflexWorkouts
@BowflexWorkouts Жыл бұрын
Ben, thanks for the note and good questions. You've summarized it well. Personally, I like the XCEED best. One thing that's hard to talk about with the PR1000, is sometimes the angles just aren't right. It's a function of only having the 2 sets of pulleys. The Blaze helps fix that with the ground pulleys, which is great for Bench Press and Squats. The seat/vertical bench on the XCEED might look weird at times, but it gets the angles right. The middle pulleys can also go in and out, so it's more customizable too. The 3 things the Blaze has going for it over the XCEED are (1) The rower upgrade. (2) Leg Curl attachment makes for a great hamstring lift. (3) The bench could be used with dumbells (though I never do this). IDK if this would sway your decision, I also will be producing far more XCEED routines than Blaze specific ones (all the PR1000 routines work for the Blaze, but ones I'm referring to use the ground pulleys). I'm currently working on a 8 week hypertrophy program and might interest you. No videos up yet, but they'll start in a few weeks! Anyways, hope that helps and let me know what you ultimately decide!

I've been binging your videos all day. I'm in the market for a bowflex, I'm having a really hard time deciding. Cost is a non issue. Wife and I need to change our lifestyle. I'm 5'11 and weight 265 lbs. I'm trying to loose weight and shape up. Been looking at the xtreme/xceed/blaze/pr3000 models. Purchased a stand alone rower and a treadmill for new house and want to finish the room with one of these. Space and cost are irrelevant. Which model would best suite a beginner scrub like me but keep it easy to switch between exercises and be less cumbersome? Any tips are greatly appreciated. Back to watching more of your videos, I apologize in advance if you covered all this.

Hi Mac! If cost is not an issue whatsoever, I would go with a Tonal Home Gym--but that's something like $4K + $50/month. It is a better product and the membership has all these programs to follow and keep you motivated. You may have noticed that I have a membership program. It is partly inspired by what Tonal has to offer and my goal with it is to give Bowflex owners even 25% of the options that a Tonal membership gives you. For Bowflex though, I would go with the XTREME SE2 (nautilus.atkw.net/mgyE3Z ). It's currently $1,100 + free shipping--which is a good price for it and the "quick change cable system" is going to make moving between exercises super easy. You may have noticed in my videos with the XCEED, I have to re-run the cables to different pulleys sometimes and that normally takes ~90 seconds which can mess with the flow of a routine. I spend a lot of time on designing routines to minimize this, but for someone less invested into it, it's worth it. Why XCEED over the Blaze? Better from factor and targeting of muscle groups. Why over the PR3000? I haven't tested that model, but I don't think it's as solid of a build as the XTREME and comparable price. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions. And if you buy new, going through my links would be much appreciated. Thanks!
