I have had my Bowflex for about 5 weeks now and I must say that I could not be happier with my purchase. I had always been intrigued when I watched the infomercials on TV, but I was skeptical about how well the machine would really perform. I have a very busy schedule and going to the gym was not something I wanted to do, my days were long enough as they were. I have been reading reviews for a long time now and one thing I noticed is that there were a lot of people using their Bowflex years after they purchased it and about 99% of the reviews were positive.

What sold me was meeting someone who is now a good friend that has a brother who is an Ultimate Fighter (i.e. cage fighter) for those of you who don’t know. He does not use free weights, just a Bowflex and he is shredded, I mean this guy is in phenomenal shape. If it was good enough for him, well it’s good enough for me, besides that’s how I want to look. My wife surprised me and got me one for Christmas, “what a great wife”! It took me about 2 hours to put together, Bowflex did an exceptional job with directions and packaging. I have read reviews where people say it takes 8 hours or a whole day, are they doing it blind folded? I just could not wait to work out on this thing.

A little info about myself, I’m 35 years old, 6ft tall, 245lbs and have been working out since I was 16 years old, NOT consistently though. I have had memberships at the YMCA, Golds Gym and Ballys Total Fitness. I used free weights and hammer strength machines mostly and for Cardio I do biking or the elliptical machine. As I have gotten older my joints have become a lot more sensitive and the pain soon followed. I found that I could not push myself as hard as I used to. I also took on a pretty taxing job about 4 years ago and found that I just did not have the energy or desire to get myself to the gym. Thanks to my beautiful wife I don’t have to worry about that any more. Let me tell you that when I did my first upper body workout; I became a true believer in this machine.

I don’t understand when I read reviews from people who say that this machine does not work. They either have not used the machine or do not know how to use it. When I’m using the Bowflex yelling from exertion and my muscles feel like they are going to rip through my skin, how are people going to tell me that what I’m doing is not going to build muscle and get me toned. Flat out, they do not know what they are talking about. PERIOD! I’m getting some of the best workouts I have ever had on this machine. Why do you ask? Because I can push myself harder than ever before without a spotter. In the short time that I have been using the bowflex, I’m seeing the better results than ever before!

When I read the reviews that supposedly come from people who say that they have out grown 310lbs of resistance on the bowflex ultimate, I have 1 question, ARE YOU TAKING HORSE STEROIDS? How could they be? I’m 245lbs and strong and I’m not even close to be using all the resistance and don’t believe I will be.

Now I know what some will say, YOU MUST WORK FOR BOWFLEX! It seems that anyone who says anything positive about this incredible machine, the bowflex haters ALWAYS say that you must work for them. Well sorry folks I don’t. I’m just a regular guy with a busy schedule that was looking for something to get me back in shape. For those of you who have been contemplating ordering this machine, I say GO GET IT you won’t regret it. Just stay consistent and know what your goals are. Good luck, I hope this helped.

Sincerely,

Rob
