Bowflex Revolution - Could It Be the Right Choice for You?

Search this Website
The Bowflex Revolution uses new technology to provide a "smooth", "whisper quiet" workout.

However, the Revolution still has a few possible drawbacks.



Below you can find the Pros & Cons to this home gym and also our recommendations on who this machine will work best for.

Would you like to save $200 to $1,000 on your Bowflex home gym AND get FREE shipping (an additional $200 savings)? Please click here




Pros & Cons to the Revolution

The Revolution has many nice features such as its "whisper quiet" SpiraFlex resistance and over 100+ exercises. But at over $2,700, would it be the right choice for you?

To answer that question, let's look at the Bowflex Revolution's Pro's & Con's compared to theoriginal Bowflex:


Pro

  • 100+ exercises. So much variety that you could create a different workout for each day ofthe year.
  • Leg press of up to 600 pounds. With the original Bowflex models, the leg press could onlygo up to 410Ib.
  • 10 year warranty on the machine. Bowflex has very good customer service and appreciatestheir customers.
  • 10 year warranty on their SpiraFlex plates.
  • Whisper quiet. If you live in an apartment that has "thin" walls, the Bowflex Revolution willkeep you in good standing with your neighbors.
  • Well built & comfortable.
  • Works well for tall people.


Cons

  • Large & tall when folded. Someone described it best as looking like a "large PreyingMantis".
  • 245 pounds! At 245Ib your probably not going to move it that easily. Also, to protect yourfloor or carpeting, purchasing the machine mat would be a good investment.
  • One sized doesn't fit all. Though it fits tall people well, if you happen to be below5' 8" you may find it difficult to do certain exercises.
  • 220Ib standard resistance. Bowflex charges an extra $100 to upgrade your resistance from 220Ib to 300Ib. For most people 300Ib should be plenty of resistance, however, for athletes (like football players, weight lifters, etc.) the regular Bowflex models offer up to 410Ib of resistance.
  • A price tag of up to $2,900! Bowflex offers financing. However, at 21.9% (25.9% if you happen to miss a payment) you may want to shop around for "reasonable" financing instead.



Could It Be the Right Choice for You?


Who it would work best for:

    1. Those who already consistently workout at home.

    2. Individuals who want the highest quality in manufacturing and appearance.

    3. People who need a "whisper" quiet machine

    4. Persons who have a dedicated space for a home gym.



People who the Bowflex Revolution may not be the best choice for:

    1. People below 5' 8".

    2. First time home gym buyers - $2,700 could be a lot to invest to see if you like exercising athome, or not.

    3. People who can exercise with more than 300Ib.

    4. Individuals who want to be able to move their home gym.

In Summary

The Bowflex Revolution has many features that for the “right” person, would be worth the $2,700 - $2,900 investment.

On the other hand, if you don’t want to invest as much, the original Bowflex models (such as the Ultimate, Motivator, or Extreme 2) can offer a high quality home gym at a more “budget-friendly” price.
