Strange. I’ve been using my Bowflex revolution for about 10 years now, and it’s still working fine. No complaints here.

[@maroney5828]

Do you still go to the gym or only use the bowflex? I'm thinking of getting the bowflex blaze, not sure if I would get good results

[@OPPENHElMER]

@@maroney5828I recommend buying a pair. It’s great especially for beginners. You can load up as much as you want and you’ll save money overtime. Eventually it will be to light for you but you can then decide what to do from there. So it would have costed more to go to a gym in the time it takes to go from to maxing out the weights. Also it’s yours, you can train in the comfort of your home and do whatever, you can also give them to someone in your family that’s maybe interested in training or sell them to get some cash back if you absolutely have no need for them anymore. Also when it comes to then having bad build quality, they don’t but since it have an advanced mechanism it can be a bit janky, but that’s because of its unique feature. So nothing will happen asking as you are careful with them and don’t throw them around.

[@alquinn3562]

I’ve got a bow flex that’s 20 years old, raising a family, work being physical, i’ve not used it as much as i wanted to. 6 weeks ago i restarted my program and have been faithful to it. i can work longer and harder than i could 15 years ago. groceries are lighter, 50 pound sacks of dog food are effortless, real quality of life improvement. wife has noticed and she likes it too. So hell no to your video. I still love my old one and assuming i’m still at it, in 6 months i’m buying the new one. I have the bow flex bike that i warm up and cool down with. So quiet all i can hear is my breathing. quality

[@furiooo]

exactly. these "purists" only think that people can get in shape by using a barbell and freeweights. The only thing that matters is that we challenge ourselves and if a bowflex does that, there's no reason for him to be this ignorant.

[@randyotis6858]

Yeah I bought a used one for like $200 best decision I ever made for fitness. It's in my bedroom, I use it regularly, where I wasnt using my gym membership. I upgraded the resistance with bowflex 310 lbs kit, upping it from 210 lbs and I'm looking at getting the 410 lbs kit now. I do every kind of exercise on it. I can appreciate that the machine isn't commercial quality for a commercial gym or ideal for an advanced body builder, but for the rest of us, it's awesome.

[@wife2sp]

Saying they’re “built for residential use and built like crap” is a super vague argument. Because if people are buying them for their home, and they’re getting light-moderate use, what’s the problem? If appears a number of commenters are happy with their home models. It would helpful if you could share some specifics, please. After reading more comments I’ve determined you’ve got to be trolling for comments. Because you haven’t answered anyone’s question. You just appear irritated and ask, “did you watch the video?” like that’s not what people are asking about. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@sqd8r]

Have had a home gym for about 5 yrs now, filled with power rack etc and Bowflex - M5, Kettlebell etc. No issues, used daily if not every other day.

Let’s see can’t cheat the weight up, bilateral movements for all chest and arm exercises, It’s quiet, safe, I had to finally replace the seat slide lock after about 15 years of use. So your claim of it being poorly made and qoute “Hell 2 The No”. Waiting for the actual reasons why not. Or is it because you sell other equipment? Just a thought and to each there own

[@ryanmartin3821]

@@freedomfitnessequipment I believe I did, hahahaha delicious. I believe the Company has been selling”Shit” home me fitness products for over 30 years. They do look a little odd I will give you that. However the Biomechanics of the the cable pulley system seems to be a common thread in all gyms and gym equipment around the world? A review of the product based on the actual merits of the workouts it provides would be appreciated, also show yourself breaking or bending or what ever it is or was that brought you to the hell to the No Conclusion that they are garbage. You aren’t going to wear out the power rods, unless you cross hook them over each other, all the bolts are hardened steel etc. I am curious to see you put one together properly then show all the failure points. I worked at a Schwinn store in the early years of Bowflex’s existence. No T.V. Marketing at that time. Schwinn had its own brand of home Universal Gyms and Free weights. People would come in thinking Universal Gym, try the Bowflex and take one home. Trust me the Percentage of profit on the Universal was for higher then the Bowflex. We would have people try both head to head. I love the Bantor. Waiting to see your review of the original Bowflex. R

Now I'm new to fitness and have decided to go for the full body dumbell workout as it suits me best and from what I've heard about bowflex is they are quite expensive but they last a very long time and while spending £400 on a pair of dumbells sounds bad it saves you alot of money because you do the workouts at home

[@JerreMuesli]

I've been using my Bowflex SelectTech 1090i for about 5 years now and it's one of the best purchases I ever made. Are selector dumbbells the best? Not when you have a shitload of space and a ton of money. But for a lot of us, it's the best piece of home gym equipment money can buy!

[@TonyEldridge-mq4wt]

I understand sir that you may not have had a good experience. I will tell you that I have used the Bowflex Extreme 2 SE and the 840kettle bells and the 552 dumbbells for about 2 years now and I have had nothing but a good experience from the equipment and the company. I did have a couple of rods that were defective and they were PROMPTLY replaced by them. I mean that I got the replacements in 7 calendar days at zero cost to me. I hope that things get better buddy.

I’ve had my blaze for 15 years, “built like crap and for residences” are not good enough reasons to call them bad equipment. It’s built just fine, the blaze is solid. I’ve moved 3x in 15 years and it’s as good as new from 15 years of abuse. Doesn’t get more solid than that 😂. I did lose a strap along the way but that’s human failure not equipment failure and I replaced it for cheap. I will say the only crappy thing about the blaze is the full body workout placard is paper, it should have been plastic or coated in plastic, after 15 years it’s pretty rough around the edges kind of like this video. 😂

They're residential grade, they won't last, and usually these manufacturers don't warranty or even offer parts past 2-3 years. I don't even recommend their dumbbells. Think 1-ply treads, and normally these manufacturers will cheap out on things like wear parts and motors to provide nice fancy screens. It ends up cutting corners and lowering costs but increasing the likelihood of failure over time.
