Bowflex Sport Home Gym

When it comes to equipping your home gym with strength training equipment, should you buy five pieces of specialized fitness equipment, or invest in a single Bowflex Sport Home Gym? That's the question in a lot of potential home gym owner's minds. Capable of delivering nearly 75 exercises, and widely recognized as a leader in home fitness training, Bowflex Pro, Classic and Revolution, as well as Bowflex Gym's home cardio equipment solution, the Treadclimber- are a fitness industry phenomenon, with nearly $100 million in Bowflex equipment sold in 2007 alone. 

The Bowflex Home Gym is a very sturdy and high quality home gym system. The thickness of the metal framing, padding and cables equals the quality of machines you find at gyms & health clubs. The Power Rods provide very smooth resistance. It is very easy to add additional weight/resistance when exercising; just put another Power Rod over the hook! It really provides a great workout!

Personalize your workout with a wide range of possible cable positions and handgrips. Get the total workout benefits of gym membership from one machine that offers strength training and cardio. See results in as little as six weeks guaranteed. The rugged, space-saving Bowflex Sport Home Gym folds easily when not in use and features a compact footprint. Transport wheels add to the advantage of owning the Bowflex Sport Home Gym so you can relocate your workout area anytime.

Picture a bending metal rod tempered to provide sustained resistance (and to withstand repeated use). A single power rod will provide light resistance, but when combined with others, can provide a level of resistance that's very high. Bowflex Sport Home Gym users select different "Bowflex weights," combine those "Bowflex weights" by hooking up multiple power rods via a cable, and then use different exercises and muscle groups to create a varied exercise routine. The bending of the rods of course is what gives the strength training equipment its name, one synonymous with the exercise, "Bowflex." Home Gyms based on Bowflex's power rod technology are able to simulate a wide variety of other weight or band resistance exercises and are designed to replace other strength training equipment such as leg, back, shoulder and abdominal equipment.

A bodybuilding routine that takes a fraction of the time? Bodybuilding exercise that rivals what you'll find in a gym? Let's take apart exactly what Bowflex routines are and how they might help you in your strength training.

While this is a truly an all-purpose, multi-function fitness trainer, none of the Bowflex Sport Home Gym models (including the Bowflex Pro and Bowflex Revolution) provide the other half of the home fitness equation - cardio exercise. So if you plan to buy any of the Bowflex home gyms, additional cardio equipment such as a treadmill or an elliptical trainer (the company produces a separate line of cardio equipment in its Treadclimber cardio exercise line) should be high on your list of must-have home gym equipment.

Your fitness success may be just a workout away with Bowflex equipment exercise. But it's not the only contender. When many people think of a multigym for the home, Total Gym is what comes to mind. How does it compare to the Bowflex Sport Home Gym? We tried both and found the Bowflex to be superior.
