If you go to people’s houses or to the gym, you will notice one thing in common, all of the dumbbells are placed on the floor.

Why?

Because dumbbells are too heavy to sit on the shelves and have a risk of them falling off, which can put a dent on the weights depending on the quality and surface.

You usually find them on the floor because that’s what most people normally do after they are done.

They do some free training exercises and then drop the weights or go as far as rolling them under the bed.

Some gyms have nice weight racks, but with the so many dumbbells to choose from, some of them need to be on the lower rack and this poses as the same problem for dumbbells on the floor – bending your back to pick them up again. Even before you perform powerful workout that is relaxing for you, all of this can be ruined by straining your back as you pick up the weights. Once you are all finished, carrying these weights back to position can be a pain especially when you are tired unless you want to bend again and roll them away.

If you own a pair of Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells, whether they are the 1090 or 552, then this problem can immediately be solved by getting the Bowflex SelectTech 2-in-1 Stand.

Not your average stand

This isn’t any ordinary stand because it’s sleek design is specially made to hold your pair of SelectTech dumbbells in place. The height is just enough for any person to place or pick up their dumbbells without any bending so the momentum of the exercise is maintained.

Easy transport

Just like your favorite office chair, the Bowflex SelectTech 2-in-1 Stand runs on wheels so you can easily store them away without any lifting or bending.

Two in one

So why is it a 2-in-1 stand? Well if you look closely, there is a built-in rack where you can hang your towel as well so you no longer have the excuse of leaving your towel on the dirty floor. Picking up your towel from the floor causes strain on the back too and this problem gets solved on the SelectTech 2-in-1 Stand.

Great display

Once you put your pair of Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells onto the stand, the overall look is pleasing and gives your gym or home gym a very futuristic look. They look great on display giving off some true showroom quality. Placing these dumbbells on the stand reduces the collecting of dust when they are placed on the floor, under the bed, or in the closet.

Worth the money

The Bowflex SelectTech stand costs around $150 and you can get it much cheaper if you buy it with the pair of dumbbells. Anyone looking to exercise everyday with the SelectTech dumbbells should definitely get this stand, as it will save your back from a lot of punishment.

This has to be one of the most creative stands ever made. Getting this stand is a real back saver and looks great on display.

Product Description:

When people are in the mood to exercise, they would normally go to the gym and work out there because home exercising equipment can be really expensive posing some risks whether the money is worth it.

Some exercising machines cost over $1500, and may give you better workouts, but usually target specific areas requiring you to get additional equipment or go back to the gym where everything is there.

Those that are new to exercising with home gym equipment may not want to invest largely on a big bulky machine that may not work.

Thankfully, Bowflex released a product called Bowflex Blaze Home Gym, which is an excellent choice for starters, needing to get physically fit without spending too much or going to the gym.

Technology behind the Bowflex Blaze Home Gym

The Bowflex Power Rod is the main attraction of the Bowflex Blaze Home Gym these units give you resistance or weight that emulates the use of free weights without the risks of joint pains and inertia. Resistance starts out at 210 lbs. and can be upgradeable to 310 lbs. or even 410 lbs. depending on their preference.

Bowflex Blaze Home Gym Review:

The Bowflex comes out as an affordable package, which costs just about $1100. This is a fantastic deal considering the amount of exercises and attachments that it comes with.

Bowflex Reviews (Bowflex Blaze Home Gym)

Product Description:

The biggest problem with those big bulky machines that you see in large gyms is that they are sometimes complicated to use and can help you perform around 10 exercises or even less.

Once you’re all set and done, you’ll need to move on to other bulky machines to target other areas of your body.

This can be inconvenient and worst of all, these can never be done in your home unless you have a big house that can fit these equipment.

This is why the Bowflex Ultimate 2 Home Gym quickly became a best seller for the wide array of features it has to offer.

However, the Bowflex Ultimate is a bit tall and may not fit rooms with low ceiling levels.

Making the device smaller could sacrifice a lot of functionality, but the Bowflex Xtreme SE Home Gym somehow manages to stay compact, but still let you target 6 areas in doing over 65 different gym-quality exercises.

Breakthrough Features

Some of the great features of the Bowflex Ultimate were carried over to the Xtreme SE for ensuring quality to even those on a tight budget.

• Power Rod Technology

Just like the Bowflex Ultimate, the Bowflex Xtreme SE Home Gym has that same no risk and inertia eliminating Bowflex Power Rod having 210 lbs. of resistance standard. It can be upgradeable to 310 lbs. or 410 lbs. for extreme lifting. This technology is enough to put away your free weights for good.

• Squat Station

Everyone should do squats once in awhile to build your glutes, quads, and hamstrings and the squat station lets you do just that.

• Leg Extension

This lets you perform various leg exercises for developing strong muscles.

• 5-way Handgrip

Unlike other handgrips, the Bowflex Xtreme’s 5-way Handgrip turns it into a standard grip as well as a non-grip cuff, foot cuff, ankle cuff, and shoulder cuff.

Additional attachments for more exercises

Sure, the size has been dramatically reduced to the Reinforced “X” shaped base, but that doesn’t cut down the number of exercises too much. You can still do over 65 exercises in the Bowflex Xtreme SE, but what matters most is that the 6 major body areas – chest, shoulders, back, legs, arms, and abs are still covered allowing you to do a total body workout by doing some basic exercises all with the help of a single machine. And for those unfamiliar with those particular exercises, a detailed owner’s manual and fitness guide is made available showing step-by-step instructions on how to perform all the exercises the Bowflex Xtreme supports.

At half the cost of the best selling Bowflex Ultimate, the Xtreme SE is an excellent home gym for those who want it small and inexpensive.

Bowflex Xtreme SE Home Gym Review:

The size and style of the Bowflex Xtreme SE is nothing short of amazing.  All the quality and versatility remains while keeping the price generously low to allow anyone to start exercising at home.

Bowflex Reviews (Bowflex Xtreme SE Home Gym)

Product Description:

The Bowflex Xtreme was undoubtedly an unbelievable breakthrough in modern technology due to its small size and capability of targeting all major body areas and giving accessibility to several exercises that you can normally perform in the gym.

In fact, the Bowflex Xtreme became so popular that additional research was put into the compact machine in finding ways to make it even better.

The end result is Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym and it has some great features while keeping the same compact size.

New Improvements

Version 2 of the Bowflex Xtreme SE adds a significant new feature and some nifty improvements to 2 useful components:

• No-change Cable Pulley System

Changing cables for the sake of moving on to different workouts were considerable time wasters and was often a problem for those who want to keep their heart rate up. The Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE doesn’t require you to do that ever again giving you more freedom in setting up your own exercising routines. This should be the main reason to get this revised home gym right now.

• Abdominal Crunch Shoulder Harness

This new ab harness will greatly assist you in developing lean and well-defined abs without the extra cost.

• Ergonomic Adjustable Seat

This special seat has a cushion that is made of Polyurethane – a material that is excellent for providing comfortable back support for leg exercises and knee support for lat exercises as well.

• Lat Tower Improvements

The Lat Tower now adjusts to 2 positions expanding possibilities.

• Squat Frame Improvements

The Squat Frame is longer now giving you 4 adjustable positions.

All of these improvements allow additional exercises (over 70 exercises now) that couldn’t be done on the previous version of the Bowflex Xtreme without wasting time.

Space Saving Construction

Those that are not familiar with the Xtreme SE series, the Bowflex Xtreme 2 has a compact size, which is perfect for having workouts in areas with limited space without sacrificing too many features.

Power Rod Technology

There are no changes to the Power Rod Technology because it is perfect to begin with. The materials that make the Power Rod are highly durable and built to last. This technology replaces the need of free weights because they feel the same or even better without the risks of joint pains and inertia.

Better Effectiveness of Existing Exercises

There are multiple cable or pulley positions that govern your angle of resistance and as a result, increase the effectiveness of the exercises that you usually do over at the gym.

Five-way Handgrip

Handgrips are needed in plenty of the different exercising procedures and with the five-way handgrip, you can use the handgrip as an ordinary grip, a non-grip cuff, an ankle cuff, a foot cuff, or a shoulder cuff. This allows one grip to increase the performance of different styled workouts.

Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym Review:

There are some fine additions to an already feature rich product. The best thing about this is that the Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym costs only $400 more than the first Xtreme SE.

Bowflex Reviews (Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym)

Product Description:

The problem in getting that fully body workout doesn’t just involve the amount of effort, but the amount of different exercises to do that requires different machines.

Most of the powerful machines are often bulky to set up and once you start piling up on workout equipment, the problem lies on where to store them all and everything gets messy.

The Bowflex Ultimate 2 Home Gym promises to solve this problem by allowing you to do over 95 exercises all on one compact machine that is sure to fit in your home.

The secrets behind the power of this rather compact machine are the technologies being used and the different attachments included in the Bowflex Ultimate 2 Home Gym.

Bowflex Power Rod Resistance Technology

Free weights are often labeled by many as the best solution to upper body workouts. That is true, but the inertia and risk of joint pains are often a problem that makes free weights an imperfect solution. The Bowflex Ultimate 2 Home Gym gives you the power of free weights without those risks. These rods have great quality and durability and are expandable up to 410 pounds for some real power lifting.

Over 95 different exercises targeting 6 major areas

A. Arm Exercises

You can put those free weights down and do all sorts of exercises that will help tone your arms including the French Press, Cross Triceps Extension, “Rope” Pushdowns, Resisted Dip, Tricep Kickback, and many more. Preacher Curls can also be performed with the included Preacher Curl attachment.

B. Leg Exercises

Leg exercises are also possible in the Bowflex Ultimate 2 Home Gym thanks to the Leg Extension and Leg Curl attachments enabling you to do Leg Extensions, Leg Presses, Standing Calf Presses, Standing Hip Flexions, Dorsi Flexions, Prone Leg Curls, and several others. Squats can also be performed using the Squat Attachment.

C. Shoulder Exercises

Even shoulder exercises can be performed on this same machine. This lets you do reverse flies, scapular retractions, stiff-arm pulldowns, seated shoulder presses, front shoulder raises, among others. Some of the arm exercises that are done affect the shoulder areas as well.

D. Chest Exercises

The Bowflex Utlimate 2 can even help you perform around 10 gym-qualities including bench presses, resisted punches, chest flies, lying cable crossovers, and other variations of these.

E. Abdominal Exercises

Some basic abs workouts can be performed with the help of the attachment including reverse crunches, trunk rotations, and other crunch styles.

F. Back Exercises

Finally your back can be exercised to regain posture and strengthen the body structure overall with the included Lat Tower and Hand Grips. This can let you do lying lat pulldowns, low back extensions, seated lat rows, narrow pulldowns, and more reliable workouts.

These are just a fraction of the different exercises that you can do in the Bowflex Ultimate 2 Home Gym. All you need is around 7’4” of ceiling height to assemble the home gym and you’re ready to enjoy these great accessories.

Bowflex Ultimate 2 Home Gym Review:

What makes this home gym unlike any other is that all the accessories are already included so no more money needs to be spent on each individual accessory. The cost is pretty reasonable with all the accessories involved and makes it a great recommendation.

Bowflex Reviews (Bowflex Ultimate 2 Home Gym)

Product Description:

The Bowflex Revolution home gym has been really showing some great results as countless homeowners gave it a try and noticed just how easier it is to get a full body workout without wasting travel money and energy in going to the local gym only to find out that so much equipment needs to be used.

However, everyone may not be able to afford the full Bowflex Revolution home gym so Bowflex released a slightly more affordable and compact alternative – the Bowflex Revolution XP home gym.

Space Saving Design

If you thought the original Bowflex Revolution home gym was space saving, get a load of the XP version because it has a smaller length and a smaller workout area.

However, these design changes won’t hinder your workouts because you can still perform around 90 different exercises in 3 major categories.

SpiraFlex Resistance Technology

The same SpiraFlex Resistance Technology is incorporated in the Bowflex Revolution XP Home Gym. This means that you don’t have to worry about quality even if this is an affordable alternative to the Bowflex Revolution. You still get that same patented technology that duplicates the benefits of free weights and 200 lbs. (equivalent to 90.72 kb) of resistance standard that can be upgradable to 280 lbs.

3 Revolutionary Workouts covering 90 different exercises

The Bowflex Revolution XP home gym is just one compact device, but you can do so many different types of exercises to stay fit without strain. The real power lies in its versatility, which literally miniaturizes a fully blown gym into one device you can put in your room. You can perform these 3 types of workouts to stay in shape.

1. Upper Body Workouts

Everybody goes to the gym to work on their upper body, back, and shoulder muscles because their average home workout machines are often too complicated.  With the Bowflex Revolution XP home gym, you can perform those same exercises right in your home and the Freedom Arms adjust 170 degrees so your muscles can work from various angles. You can optionally get a Lat Tower that helps develop your back and shoulder muscles with the same exercises you do in the gym.

2. Lower Body Workouts

It takes some bulky equipment to work those legs and hips, but the Bowflex Revolution XP home gym allows you work on those lower body areas with ease. The Squat Harness is included to aide with that and the Leg Attachment is used for Standing Leg Curls and Seated Leg Extension.

3. Core and Abs Workout

It takes some good equipment to get some rock solid six-pack abs and the Bowflex gym will greatly help you in achieving that. Plenty of ab exercises can be performed to flatten and define your core. Getting the optional Ab Back Pad can increase the effectiveness of your core workouts by 40%.

All of these technologies and different exercise possibilities combined with a nice space saving design make this a fantastic substitute to the many bulky equipment out there that do less.

Bowflex Revolution XP Home Gym Review

It is surprising to see a “lite” version of the popular Bowflex Revolution home gym. The price is reasonable and the features aren’t too trimmed down making this an excellent recommendation for people going to the gym often.
