Top Best Bowflex Home Gyms Compared

The Bowflex Home Gyms are well-constructed, high-quality versatile gyms at affordable prices for home use. Home Gyms offer a total body strength workout with a great variety of exercises to strengthen all the major muscle groups of the body including abs, chest, back, shoulders, arms and legs.

The Bowflex Home Gyms offer a great range of resistance and exercise variety.  These home gyms are different to each other not only in the amount of resistance (including upgradable) and exercises they offer, but in their platform type (i.e. horizontal or vertical), type of resistance, and overall workout area required.  In order of price (lowest to highest), my top 5 best Bowflex Home Gyms are:

·         Bowflex PR1000 Home Gym
·         Bowflex Blaze Home Gym
·         Bowflex PR3000 Home Gym
·         Bowflex Xtreme 2SE Home Gym
·         Bowflex Revolution Home Gym

 

The Bowflex PR1000, Blaze and Revolution Home Gyms utilize a horizontal platform with the ability to fold the bench up to save space, while the PR3000 and Extreme 2SE utilize vertical platforms.  The advantage of the Bowflex home gyms with horizontal platforms is that they also offer cardio rowing which the vertical platforms don’t have.

The Bowflex PR1000, Blaze, PR3000 and Extreme 2SE feature unique Power Rod resistance (210 lbs) – the Power Rods provide resistance/weight that feels as good as free weights but without the inertia or risk of injury that’s typically associated with free weights.  The PR1000’s resistance is the only one that’s not upgradeable.  The PR3000 is upgradable to 310 lbs, while the Blaze and Xtreme 2SE is upgradable to 310 or 410 lbs.

The Bowflex Revolution Home Gym utilizes a different type of resistance technology called SpiraFlex Resistance (220 lbs) and is upgradable to 300 lbs.  The SpiraFlex technology ensures that the exercises with Freedom Arms (adjusts 170 degrees to work muscles from various angles) deliver ultra-smooth and consistent resistance throughout the entire range of motion to help build lean strong muscle.

The Revolution is Bowflex’s top of the range home gym, duplicating virtually every exercise from you local gym (over 100 exercises).

The Bowflex PR1000 offers 30+ exercises, the Blaze offers 60+ exercises, the PR3000 offers 50+ exercises, and the Bowflex Xtreme 2SE offers 70+ exercises.   (See tables below for more details.)
