Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym Review

Hello Readers,

Click Now to Read Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym User Reviews


Today's treadmill review is the Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym. I get a lot of e-mail about this one from people asking me if it's worth the extra $300 to upgrade from the Bowflex Xtreme SE Home Gym to the Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym. Well, that's a real tough one. There are a few ways we can figure this one out. First, if you're rich and $300 is little more than an hour's pay I say yeah definitely go for it. It's always better to have things you don't need then to need them and not have them. The next two ways to figure this out take a little bit more explaining. To help you make the best choice possible I will cover the differences between these two home gyms.

Just a quick overview, the Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym enables users to perform over 70 exercises to work out shoulders, chest, arms, back, and legs. This is a total workout gym, which is an industry buzzword that means someone can use this particular machine to work out every major muscle group. Be careful, there is no real industry standard definition for what a total workout actually means and some treadmill manufacturers use the term to sell cardio equipment. If I were King of the world, that term would only apply to strength training equipment. Anyway, like every other Bowflex home gym the Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym utilizes power Rod resistance rather than stacks of weights to provide resistance. It has its advantages over weight stack including being much lighter and more portable than a traditional home gym. As always, this home gym can be upgraded to 310 pounds or even 410 pounds of resistance.

As for the differences, while this is essentially the same home gym as the Bowflex Xtreme SE Home Gym except it has more pulley positions. If I were personally deciding between these two home gyms and I were on a budget I probably wouldn't be willing to shell out an extra $300 to get the extra pulley attachments. Most of the extra exercises benefit your back and chest but there already plenty of exercises on the less expensive version of this home gym to benefit from. I would only buy this home gym if I had plenty of extra cash in the bank, which I don't.

Overall, this is a great home gym. If you buy it you go to be able to build whatever kind of body you want to build provided you put in the work to do it. The only problem is it's about $300 more than most people really need to spend and you get a whole lot more for the extra cash. If you're considering this home gym I suggest you take a look at the Bowflex Xtreme SE Home Gym before you pull the trigger and by the Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym.
