What Bowflex Xtreme® 2 SE Home Gym owners are saying...
From January to May I went from 210 lbs to 180 lbs. I had a Bullworker & Nordic Flex Gold to start helping change my flab to muscle. They were not working so in May I purchased a Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE. In just 4 weeks I cannot believe the difference in my strength & shape that I am in now in only 4 weeks as compared to several months with the others. What a great product. Thank you Bowflex.

Easy to use, the Bowflex has enabled me to expand my workouts to enhance my gains as a pro rock climber. I love the fluid motion of the weights, and how the design doesn't allow the use of momentum. Each muscle group gets targeted and worked exactly how I want it to. I'm impressed.

This machine took us a couple of hours to set up. It would have been nice if the they packaged the parts you needed for each section of the setup in the same box, instead of searching through 5 boxes to find the part you need. PROS: 1)This Bowflex is very sturdy, 2) easy and quick to go from one exercise to the next. CONS: 1) can't get the range of motion I want (cable seems a smidge too long in my opinion), 2)took FOUR weeks to get the thing shipped to me 3) No bench--bench would have been nice for various exercises 4) It was a hassle to put together

Comments about Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym:
I bought the Xtreme 2 SE because I moved to a smaller place and my old Bowflex would not fit in my new home. It was relatively easy to assemble even for a middle-aged woman. Not only do I want more muscle strength but I am hoping that the resistance workout will help with bone density as well. So far I am enjoying working with my new Bowflex. :)

Comments about Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym:
I use the product 4 to 5 times a week. I love the different angles that can be used with each exercise. So many different exercises to choose from keeps muscles shocked. Most impressed with being able to use bench press in different positions for incline and decline. Moving seat out of the way makes huge impact on footing. I upgraded from the old Power Pro XTL(12 years) and I just did not know what I was missing out on with the versatility of this machine. Would not go back!

Comments about Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym:
Back in the early 80's i bought a bowflex with the bands. Good machine but not great, gave it to brother-in-law and joined a gym. Tired of the monthly fees and waiting for equipment. Did the big upgrade and bought the Bowflex Xtreme 2 and wow! In just a couple of weeks my workouts are no longer work! Back on a exercise schedule that works for me, and it is fun again. Very easy to use.

Comments about Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym:
This machine is great. The variety of exercises is amazing, changing set up is quick and easy and the switching of weight is a breeze. My only complaint which is small would be that the cables and pullies sometimes get tangled up. This is minor and an easy fix. Overrall I highly recommend the bowflex. My wife and I love it.

It says you need 8 feet x 6.5 feet? Is that 8 feet high by 6.5 feet wideAsked on 2/11/2012 by Moose from Saskatchewan2 answers
A:
This is the footprint on the floor: a rectangle. The machine doesn't take up all that space, rather, to use every exercise comfortably you should have an area this size.Answered on 4/6/2012 by teaddub from Vancouver, WACUSTOMER CARE

Q:
Does this bowflex model fold up to keep out of view when company arrives?Asked on 1/15/2012 by none from Derry, PA2 answers
A:
It doesn't need to fold up for two reasons. 1: It already takes less space than most of the folding machines even after they are folded, and
2: It is a good looking piece of equipment and shouldn't be hidden from guests. After all, they may need some exercise too! Also, keeping it in plain sight is a great way to avoid the excuse "I forgot to workout today."Answered on 4/6/2012 by teaddub from Vancouver WACUSTOMER CARE
A:
The Xtreme 2 SE does not fold up, because it is an upright Home Gym. If you are interested in a Home Gym that will fold up, we recommend choosing a Home Gym that uses a bench.Answered on 1/20/2012 by AH from Vancouver, WA
Q:
I hear from some people that if you have long arms, you won't be able to get full extension with this machine. That the rods bend to the floor. I am 6'3" with 6'6" arm span. Is this a problem for anyone?Asked on 12/30/2011 by Ry from Geismar, La1 answer
A:
It's definitely true when trying to do standing exercises which utilize the bottom floor level pulley's. However modifying the exercise into a sitting position usually works.
I've found that even with my height of 6'3", adjusting the seat height and/or the pulley positions I'm able to do just fine in performing any movement.Answered on 2/21/2012 by Gil from Monterey Bay, CA
