The Bowflex Revolution home gym has created ripples in the exercise market as it claims to have a gym-full of equipment in one machine. The $2,800 price tag may scare you at first but if you take advantage of the free shipping offers tat they often have and couple that with payment options, you can compare that to the costs of a proper gym membership and evaluate if it makes dollars and sense to you. A lump sum payment may be difficult for many, but $20 a month or something similar is often a manageable amount.

When you join a gym, it’s not just the membership dues that you are accountable for. You also have to pay the registration or start up fee; you have to factor in gas to get to the gym, proper workout attire and childcare if applicable. Factor in all these costs to make an honest comparison.

Private Gym at a Great Price

The Bowflex Revolution home gym can help you do over 100 kinds of exercise right at home. It is also available in a space saving design called Bowflex Revolution XP if you do not have an entire basement to spare. Either model has SpiraFlex Resistance Technology that helps you reap the benefits of free weights. The Bowflex Revolution equipment has over 100 kilos or 220 pounds worth of weights and that too can be upgraded to 300 pounds for upper body workouts and 600 pounds for lower body workouts.

Apart from weights, the Bowflex Revolution also gives you a cardio workout with a built–in rowing machine for burning calories, warm up exercises and cool down ones. The equipment manufacturers claim that you can duplicate nearly any exercise you see at a state of the art gym or anything a personal trainer or class instructor has ever recommended – all in the comfort and privacy of your own home.

The upper and lower body workout features lets you do bicep curls, leg presses and other exercises for specific parts of your body or for a full body workout if you prefer. They have so many different exercise routines that you could do something absolutely varied every single day of the week. This is something highly recommended for weight loss and body shaping as if you continue the same exercise very day, your body gets accustomed to it and doesn’t help in losing pounds or inches.

The Bowflex Revolution is designed to fit normal sized rooms with standard ceilings and dimensions. It comes complete with instructional videos and you can always enhance your experience by adding on accessories like more DVDs, mats to protect you and your flooring, accessory racks and more.
