The Blaze is on fire with its Flex ible Bows

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

Bowflex changed the name of the Sport to the Blaze. The Sport is/was (It's still around and for sale especially online.) a really popular machine. The Blaze will run you $900 which is $100 more than what the Sport went for. The Blaze comes standard with 210 pounds of power rod resistance. You can add more resistance and upgrade to 310 or 410 pounds - each upgrade will cost you $99.00. The Blaze uses a "rod system." These rods are hooked to a cable pulley system. You can hook one, two, three, four or all of the Power Rods to the cable pulley system and go from as little as 5 pounds all the way up to 210 or the upgraded resistance.

In order to reach the rods on some machines I ...

Bowlfex just aint worth the trouble.

Overall
Rated 2 out of 5

I got rid of the Bowflex I had years ago because it took up way too much room and was a pain in the butt when switching out the different attachements. Not to mention Bowflex is also very expensive and comes shipped unassembled and is a bear to assemble. The Bowflex was a little difficult to assemble and it took hours. I am glad I got a total gym to replace it, the Total Gym came fully assembled and easily fits in the closet when not in use. I did not like using the Bowflex either it did not seem like I was getting the resistance I was supposed to get. It seem easier than it should of been. The Bowflex did provide a good workout but was not worth all the trouble of switching out attachements...

This bowflex is like a having a whole gym in house.

Overall
Rated 3 out of 5

My husband has been trying to find a weight bench so he could get in shape. He had been eyeing this gym up for some time just didn't want to put the money out for it. The bowflex gyms are kind of pricey. When you really break it down though and start looking at all of the excersises you can do with this gym as compared to the many pieces of equipment you would have to get to match it. It is actually cheap. So I bought it. He was mad at first for spending the money but was elated after he started using it. There are so many options and variations availible with this machine. Going up and down in weight is extremely easy so you spend more time actually working out rather than stacking and unst...

Now I have it all

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

My husband bought the Bowflex Blaze Home Gym a while back. We have a gym membership but it's been hard to find the time to get there and work out. I have 3 kids and a full time job, leaving me with little spare time. the bowflex blaze home gym has, to say the least, changed my life. I went from a size 9 to a size 3 in a few short months. It allowed me the flexablity to work out when I had the time, and came with a video that showed me how to target my problem areas. I loved how It gave me the convinience to work out at my own home. Plus it folds up so it doesn't take up a lot of space. My husband and I now look fabulous!

best home gym I've ever used

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I got this about 6 weeks ago.  Already I'm starting to see noticible results.  I work out for about 30 minutes 4 dayts per week.  This is not the type of gym to add bulk, but more tone.  I've worked out at gyms for years w/ free weights and this is just as good.  My only complaint would be that the weight is not the same as free weights.  My only complaint would be that I have already maxed out the 210 lb weights w/ leg press, lat pull down & bench press and will have to get the 310 lb add-on really soon.  The weights do not really match up to regular free weights (I can lift 210 lbs with some effort on the bowflex whereas 210 lbs free weight is a struggle).

expensive but nice for people who can afford it

Overall
Rated 3 out of 5

THe product is expensive even with the optional payments .. they have not dropped their prices to meet the competition out there.,  there are  many other machines that do the same or similar type thing that cost much less... resistance is overused and doesn't fool the physical fitness and nutrition experts.

The Bowflex Blaze is just right

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

We have had our bowflex for about four years now. We do not have a lot of space so it fits just right. I love having the convenience of being able to just jump on any time. We still just have the 200 lb resistance. We have not upgraded yet and it has been plenty. There are so many different exercises you can do on this little guy that it is just right.

This is a great product that gives results equal to your effort

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

I was not a believer in the home gym until my wife bought me the Bowflex Blaze as a Christmas gift. This is a product that really works and a dedicated user can really gain his or her desired results. If you are willing to put in the effort the Bowflex Blaze will save you the time and calamity of joining and making time for the Gym.

Wonderful at home workout!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

The Bowflex Blaze is a great way to get into shape. With the workout poster that comes along with it and the other workout guides it will get you in shape in no time. The main thing with the bowflex is consistency! Keep up with it and you will look and feel great.
