Blaze Home Gym Review

Bowflex Blaze Home Gym Review
Bowflex Blaze Home Gym Rating:
4 stars out of 5 for being a little pricey
Price: $829

I just spent about 5 hours filling out my taxes. I wish things were simpler. Can I deduct this, should I count that? Who needs it? I wish I could just say “I made this much” and the IRS says “this is how much we’re screwin’ ya”. Anyway, one of the things I like about Bowflex’s Home Gym product line is the simplified warranty. Home Gym manufacturers often count guide rods separate from bushings, and weight stacks different from frame. Bowflex offers a simple warranty to follow, 5 year warranty against all workmanship and defects, and lifetime warranty on all resistance rods. It’s easy enough to follow even for someone as dull as me!

So, what does the Bowflex Blaze Home Gym have to offer weight trainers? Well, the Bowflex Blaze includes a lat tower to build up your back and shoulder muscles, a pulley station for squats and a number of other exercises like rows and pull downs. Oh yeah, and the seat slides when performing rows. If you’ve ever done rows on a home gym before you know how useful a sliding seat can be. Side note, rowing definitely helps improve cardiovascular endurance, just in case you were wondering. Users can build up their lungs and explode their arms at the same time!

The Bowflex Blaze Home Gym enables users to perform over 60 different exercises targeting the arms, abdominals, chest, shoulders, and legs. The Bowflex Blaze will help just about anyone looking to build muscle strength or tone reach their goals. If you’re worried about the resistance bands not providing enough resistance, the Bowflex Blaze comes with 210 lbs. of resistance standard, and can be increased to 310 and 410 lbs. worth of resistance. That leaves plenty of room for just about anyone to improve.

This is one of my favorite Bowflex Home Gyms and I strongly recommend it for anyone except for professional weightlifters. The Bowflex Blaze Home Gym is a strong buy!

Xceed Home Gym Review

Bowflex Xceed Home Gym Review

Bowflex Xceed Home Gym Rating: 4 stars out of 5 for being slightly more expensive than the Bowflex Xtreme Home Gym
Price: $899

Oh man, yesterday was very busy! I didn’t have a chance to complete my workout. As a matter of fact, all I did was max out. I’m up to 175 lbs. I know it doesn’t sound like much for a 250 lb. 6’1” 22 year old male, but it’s a lot to me. I’ll get up there soon enough; I just have to keep working at it. Besides, I maxed out at 145 in high school and this is the first time I have seriously committed to a strength training routine. Enough about my personal life, it’s time to get to my review of the Bowflex Xceed Home Gym.

The Bowflex Xceed is the new kid on the block. It’s basically the Bowflex Xtreme XTLU Home Gym on steroids. The Bowflex Xceed has all the features and benefits of the Xtreme but goes quite a bit further. First, the Bowflex Xceed comes with 310 lbs. of resistance. Earlier in this post I mentioned I bench about 175 lbs., if I were to buy the Bowflex Xceed Home Gym I would have 135 lbs. left to work with. What’s more, the Bowflex Xtreme can be upgraded to as much as 410 lbs.

The area required to operate the Bowflex Xceed is pretty small; a 7’ x 6’ rectangle worth of open space in your home is all that is need to make use of all the stations on the Bowflex Xceed Home Gym. That makes this home gym an excellent choice for people in apartments and smaller homes, or for people who simply don’t want to dedicate a large area of their home to fitness equipment.

The Bowflex Xceed offers users several workout options including a pulley system, lat tower, and squat station. You can perform over 65 different exercises and target every major muscle center of the body. You customize your workout by adjusting resistance in 5 lb. increments and start off with light workouts to begin training your body and move up to 410 lbs. of resistance for intense workouts.

Before I conclude this review, I want to write one quick note about Bowflex Power Rods. I know it might seem that metal rods might bend, bow, and become less resistant as time wears on, but Bowflex has put many hours worth of research and design into developing resistance rods that deliver consistent resistance. Bowflex is so confident in their resistance rods that they offer a Never Ending warranty. You can have them replaced at Bowflex’s expense if they lose their ability to deliver resistance!

The features of the Bowflex Xceed Home Gym combined with an impressive 7 year warranty that covers everything from frame construction to the pulley system gives me the confidence to recommend this home gym to people just starting their first strength training routine or the serious strength trainer.

Bowflex Motivator 2 Home Gym Review

Bowflex Motivator 2 Home Gym Review
Bowflex Motivator 2 Home Gym Rating: 4 stars out of 5 for being a decent price and decent workmanship.

When I first started researching Bowflex Home Gyms I was startled at how popular they were. I never thought people would prefer band resistance over traditional weight stack home gyms. Apparently I was wrong. Bowflex is one of the largest and most respected names in the fitness equipment industry, their commercials run day and night and people really, really like their equipment. (Just don’t bring up the Bowflex TreadClimber, it’s a bit of a touchy subject.) Why do people prefer the relatively new band resistance style home gym over conventional weight stack home gyms? More importantly, is the Bowflex Motivator 2 Home Gym worth buying? Read on and find out.

One of the first things that jumped at me was a folding design. I can’t imagine folding up a weight stack or leg press on a regular home gym, but the resistance band design affords the Bowflex Motivator 2 more flexibility on so many levels. This makes the Bowflex Motivator extremely ideal for people with limited space such as apartment dwellers or the high school football player who would make varsity if he could just work out at home during the summer. The Motivator 2 Home Gym folds up into a small 28” x 34” x 6.5”H space. Because the Bowflex Motivator 2 Home Gym doesn’t use iron weight resistance, the gym is significantly lighter than most other home gyms. Users can fold up and move their home gym out of the way when their routine is complete.

I had a hard time believing this myself, but the Motivator II has 210 lbs. of built in resistance. That should be plenty weight for just about anyone except for professional body builders. Another cool advantage the Motivator II has over regular home gyms is their resistance won’t fade with time. Iron weight stack plates can chip and rust over time reducing the total amount of weight on your machine. The Motivator has no weight stacks to rust, resistance stays consistent!

In addition to your typically standard workout stations including lat pull down and leg curl and extension, the Bowflex Motivator II Home Gym includes a sliding seat for aerobic rowing with resistance. That’s not always found in every home gym, and it’s nice to see Bowflex making an extra effort to add value to their products.

There is one thing I would like to see changed or improved. Other Bowflex Home Gyms have expandability, meaning users can purchase extra weight resistance rods for more challenging workouts. If you use the Bowflex Series II regularly and consistently, there’s a slight chance your workouts might become a little easy. But you’ll probably be ready to invest in a big gym membership or much larger home gym by them.

Final Analysis
The Bowflex Series II does not have any serious mechanical defects and does it’s job well. I would, like a lot of other home gyms and treadmills, like to see this unit about $50 bucks cheaper, the $599 price tag is okay, and that’s why I give the Bowflex Series II Home Gym an okay 4 stars out of 5.
