Question: Want a Bowflex . . . which one to get?
Question Description:
My husband and I are planning to buy a Bowflex - should we get a Bowflex Sport Plus Home Gym that I can get for a good price used, or is it really worth it to spend the extra to get an Xtreme 2 home gym? $300 compared to $1200 price.

Answer#1: I would go with the Bowflex Sport. The Xtreme has a smaller footprint, but if you have the room for it, the Sport gives you more options for exercises. I know the Xtreme lists more, but there are many you can do on the Sport that are not listed in the manual. As for the previous poster, if you buy one and never use it, that does not make the machine a "piece of crap". To get results, you do have to use it. I've had mine (a Sport) for about 2 years, and use it at least 3 times a week (I do a 5 day split routine). I also have a set of freeweights and do bodyweight exercises. My Bowflex fits in to my routine just fine, and I don't regret buying it at all.
Answer#2: Bowflex has got to be the worst piece of crap ever. Every person I know that has one, never ever uses it and it sits in a corner collecting dust. It's not as easy as it looks on TV, and what will happen is you'll buy it, use it for 1-2 weeks and never use it again. And customer service is a nightmare, a buddy of mine bought it, didn't like it and tried to return after the 30 day trial and no luck whatsoever, he's stuck still making payment on a piece of junk he never uses, TWO years later!
