Question: Bowflex vs competion, worth the extra cash for Bowflex?


Question Description:
Hey all ive found some low cost knockoffs of the Bowflex home gyms, I was wondering if anybody has an opinion on the issue, if anyone thinks its worth it for the real bowflex, anybody have any comments on the issue?

Answer#1: From the limited exposure that I've had to Bowflex infomercials, I can tell you that you probably won't see the type of amazing results THAT fast if you're like the average American. Despite the claim that it's a strength training machine, it's really more of a "cardiovascular machine" than anything else. At least, that's what most of us think at the gyms that I attend everyday. It all depends on what your goal is: if you want to lose fat, bowflex (and a lot of motivation) will do; if you want to gain size and considerable strength, bowflex isn't your best option. My suggestion to you might be to first try a membership at a gym and try out the different free weights and machines that they have there. Try that for a month and see if you can stick to it before dropping some Benjamins on a machine.


Answer#2: you are paying for the name bowflex
