So Glad We Got Our Bowflex!
by Melanie
I was hesitant when my husband first suggested the Bowflex, but the size and shape of the machine seemed just right for the amount of space we had so I let him buy it. He had been testing out a friend's system and seemed to like it a lot, and he got me over to try it out too and I did feel like it provided a good variety of different exercises and felt very smooth and consistent in the motions. We have had the system for about 3 years now and I am really glad we have it! We moved out of the original house and bought another one, and the process of dismantling the system and moving it was so much better than the old system consisting of heavy weights. The bands are not noisy to use so working out whenever the mood or opportunity arises is possible, unlike with the clanky old weight system where we had to be quiet to keep from disturbing one another while sleeping or studying. As for the results of use, I can say that I have had improvement in muscle definition and also in general flexibility while using the Bowflex system, because it allows such an excellent range of motion with the different moves. I have not used it for weight loss or aerobic purposes really, but it is easy for me to see how it would be very simple to use in this manner as well.
