Inspire Fitness BL1 Body Lift Full Demo

[@ahmedusmanjaved]

I am glad I have this BL1 in my office provided from my employer .... thats a complete package.

[@chrismarquis8833]

Not for serious weightlifting mine broke down inside a year, girls would never have a problem using it!If you plan on pushing it hard at the higher resistance setting that give you 1.5 times your body weight the cable wears out and multiple other parts on the machine! Warranty is on parts not labor they wanted $110 just to change the cable, was ok with it but it has to many plastic parts on it.

[@pascalswartjes1878]

Wow,really?

[@gomeettupoc50cent]

Grease the cables!!

[@westcoastwarriorsarchive7929]

@@gomeettupoc50cent the instructions on mine only say to grease the guide rods. Does the cable need greasing?

[@westcoastwarriorsarchive7929]

What do you consider serious weightlifting? I just got one of these and im hoping it will last more than just a year.

[@finimonster]

The good old nordicflex ultralift xs in new design..

[@pascalswartjes1878]

For Shoulders i do unilateral 1 Arm press if level 15 becomes too easy, also 1 arm rows, and 1 arm chest press.

[@vancel8746]

What is the required height of ceiling for this? I saw that it’s 89 inches tall but it moves up when you lift so it is even taller?

[@RandomStuffWithBill]

89” is the maximum position height during the top of cycle during use.

[@Patriotx-gx4ce]

Getting one. Just when you though the wheel can't be reinvented.

[@sagarutekar]

Did you buy one?

[@RandomStuffWithBill]

@RandomStuffWithBill 0 seconds ago How tall are you? I am 6'6" and curious if i would be too tall for this machine even with the adjustable seat base, any input?

[@Noob-iu1sg]

Something else for Bl1 users. unless you're going for serious weight, you can also do a standing shoulder press. I find that i get a better alignment that way. If inspire fitness ever create an isometric version of this, it would basically be the perfect multi gym for us regular folks who just want to get some work done :)

[@nickbrett5645]

Using the arms or by using straps?

[@carleighp384]

Is the BL1 Body Lift machine that is available in 2023 the exact same as this one from 8 years ago?

[@pascalswartjes1878]

Only difference is color.Newer ones are in black

[@trainer4uu]

Sold by Centr! Now in 2024

[@chrisrgutierrez]

Great machine. Would be great if you could add weight plates.

[@MarioSchmidt-d6s]

I think it would be possible to place weights on the foot plates. I have powerblock dumbells. Maybe for rowing and lat pulldown, this could work

[@vangelispapos4134]

You could use a vest

[@razzinijj5465]

Is the resistance to light?

[@westcoastwarriorsarchive7929]

@@razzinijj5465 its up to 150% of your body weight. You could also wear an weight vest or place a weight plate on the seat for more.

[@prince5700l]

Hi Inspire Fitness I’m really considering this machine but I’m in place where i have no chance of trying it I’m shipping it abroad. However, would you say that the resistance ratio is 1:1? i am afraid this would feel light as I weigh 182 and i usually lift free weights

[@InspireFitnessCA]

Hi there! The BL1 is a bodyweight resistance machine with 15 different resistance levels, ranging from 10% of your body weight, or up to 150% of your body weight.

[@buongpham1234]

Is the product for sale?

[@InspireFitnessCA]

Hi there! You can check out the BL1 on our website at inspirefitness.com/product/bl1-body-lift/

[@JoaoFrancisco-cd2mu]

I have the BL1 and I need to ask two questions: 1 - How should I adjust the cable to be able to place the load in the most recessed positions; from position 12 it is almost impossible to move further. In the lowest positions the cable is very slack and in the higher positions it is fully stretched and becomes very hard to adjust. I've tried adjusting the screws under the base and it doesn't work. If I lift them too much, the range of motion becomes short. Your machine seems to have no gaps in either position. 2 - Are the BL1 handles smaller than the M2 handles? I've seen some videos of the M2 and it seems that the handles have a much greater range of motion. There are videos in which they do shoulder press with dumbbells and, on the BL1, it is almost impossible to bring the straps to chin height in a comfortable way.

[@ca7998]

Hello. If you haven't figured this out yet, there should be instructions in the manual, but you basically have to loosen two bolts on the back of the machine until it's adjusting smoothly and then tighten one of them again. The adjusters under the platform are for getting it to glide smoothly in the first 8 or so positions and the adjusters on the back are for the upper range (roughly 9 through 15).

[@bholley253]

Which 2 bolts are you referring to? I bought this machine and just put it together last weekend. The weight adjuster is far from smooth. Any help/advice is very welcome

[@pachaaaspaisa]

​@bholley253 it's the bolts behind the back upright seat. Watch the actual assembly video by centr and youll see it shown in the video how to adjust it.

[@greggwalker302]

I bought this but the resistance slidder is really hard to change anyone have some advise?

[@pachaaaspaisa]

Read the manual or watch the assembly video on adjusting the bolts/wheel assembly directly behind the upright seat. It has 2 bolts one vertical and horizontal, u loosen the horizontal bolts 1st and adjust the top bolt until it adjusts so that the weight adjuster moves freely.

[@davidellett2620]

@@pachaaaspaisa Yep - if the slider binds up on numbers 9-15. But if the slider binds up on on numbers 1-8, you have to adjust the 2 rubber bumpers (UP) on the top of the front foot bar just beneath the wood platform. I had to loosen both the front bumpers and the "Macro Cable Adjuster" behind the seat a lot for mine to work.

[@jimoliver-yu7ns]

Great machine but nothing for leg strength like squat or leg press

[@Noob-iu1sg]

Love this machine. The only issue i have is with the shoulder press...it isn't comfortable :( any tips to help with that?

[@chrismarquis8833]

Not any actual good options u need dumbells

[@pascalswartjes1878]

Try doing unilateral movements, 1 arm at a time

[@thecrowrains]

Nice home gym! I recall in the late 90s or thereabouts, Nordicflex had this exact bodyweight system on the retail market. Theirs was called the Nordicflex Ultralift if I'm not mistaken. Is Inspire's Bodylift based on this patent?

[@malibustacy3606]

I had the original Pacific Fitness Bodylift which is what the Nordicflex Ultralift home gym was based on.

[@easybeart]

If you need more weight, just put some plates on the seat and sit on them.

[@luisleduc7222]

I like sound 😢
