Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I’ve been going to an actual gym for years now. My wife decided she wanted to workout as well, but wanted to do it at home. I figured the Bowflex would be enough for her and maybe I could even use it. I even bought the 100lb upgrade rods. This thing is terrible and that’s an understatement. There is no resistance at all for me or my wife until about halfway through the movement of the exercise. The pulley system also isn’t very smooth. The weight is also very misleading. If you’re using a 50lb rod, it’s likely only giving you 30lbs of resistance. In all actuality, this is the equivalent to working out with resistance bands. This is one of the worst purchases I’ve made. Save your money and get a home gym that uses actual weight stacks and not resistance rods. It’s a joke.
