Bowflex Power Pro XTL works how it should!

I am an owner of one of the first models of the Bowflex Power Pro XTL. When we had first gotten our new home gym, the assembly was fairly straight forward with no problems.
I then started to use the bowflex for less than an hour, several times a week. I noticed after just a few weeks that the changes it promised were indeed coming true. It is a great all in one system that I would recommend for anyone who wants to get or stay in shape in the comfort of their own home.
There are a diverse number of exercises that can be easily done properly with the instruction manual as a reference. Not needing a spotter for any of the exercises is a great benefit to this home gym system.
The only complaint I had with the Bowflex Power Pro XTL is the amount of initial weight it came with. Being a 21 year old male at the time, I found myself using max weight for certain exercises such as leg press and bench press, with no room further for advancement. Granted, there are expansion weight rods available, but I had never taken the time to order them.
Having used one of the earlier models and having great results with it, I would give the bowflex gym a 5 star rating out of 5 stars.
