I'm only 57 but when I started I weighed 195 lbs. I was very plump for being so short with little muscle mass. After 9 months I had lost 35lbs. Since then I have gained nearly 20 lbs of pure muscle. I've gone from benching 160 to 310lbs! I still have a 32 inch waist despite my additional muscle gain. People cant believe I've gotten this ripped by using the Bowflex but Im the proof! Get pumped with Bowflex! - Jim Kelley", "I have had a Bowflex for the last 5 years (XTL) and I have lost over 40 lbs. Because I have three children it is hard to go out to the gym but having the Bowflex in my house has helped me keep a workout regiment. - Paul Frey", "I am a mother of three. I had twins 3 years ago that together totaled 12 lbs. 3 ounces at birth. I had a lot of extra flab and fat. I have never been an exerciser. After just 5 weeks I have lost a total of 7 inches 4 around the waiste alone. I am a Bowflex believer. I started out at a size 12. I have a size 5 Christmas dress to fit into by Dec. 10th. Wish me luck. - Clorice Hall", "I got my bowflex last October. I hate exercising. I finally got it together this May. I cannot wait to use it. It is the best way to work out. Plus its FUN to use too. I am starting out slow to avoid injury, but after 3 work outs I feel so much better already. Like everyone has said, it is so easy to go from one exercise to the next. I cannot believe I waited so long to put mine together!! Thanks BOWFLEX!!! - Dale Hank", "I bought the Bowflex a few month ago and am very satisfied with it. It is very easy to go from one exercise to another. The Bowflex actually gives me good workout. When doing the bench press exercise, I never felt like i got a good workout. I didnt seem like I worked that muscle, but with the Bowflex I feel it ever time I do it. I really enjoy working out on the Bowflex. I know that I am getting good workout from the Bowflex and I recomend it to anyone. - Aaron Phillips", "I purchased a Bowflex exercise station in April 1997 to help with rehabilitation of injuries I received in an accident in December 1994. The accident substantially destroyed my right shoulder. When I purchased the Bowflex, at may age 62 years, I was slowly regaining strength in my arms and body. With a slight modification of the suggested exercises I began to experience rapid gains. Now, I do the 3 sets of 5 bench press at 150 lb. two days a week, and 3 sets of 10 at 80/90/100 lb. two days a week. I have six to eight other exercises for my arms, shoulders, chest, lat., and legs which I throw in occasionally. The doctor who performed my surgery has approved of my more aggressive exercises. Incidentally, the doctor was named as one of the leading orthopedic surgeons internationally in 1995. I pointed out to him that he did not receive that honor until after my surgery.I do not hesitate to recommend the Bowflex, and I may even add on to it.- George Blancett ", "Now from the old folks! My wife, Joy (56) and I (59) recently bought the XTL for the purpose of keeping up our general good health. We are pleased with its ease of use and tremendous versatility. We have been getting our share of aerobic exercise and good diet, but have been missing the strength building part, especially in the upper body. Now, with this high-quality machine we are enjoying all aspects of working out. We are impressed by the fact the machine can be initially set for quite low resistance, allowing beginners--even older ones--to start out with no risk of injury. The manual is excellent too. We're satisfied. PS...Together, we assembled the XTL in one afternoon. Easy! - Roy And Joy Koeppe", "I have cut 3 to 4 inches off my waist. and seen significant changes in my definition. I have gone from a 225 bench to well over 300lb. bench in 3mo. Everyone I have introduced to the bowflex has loved it. At times I feel like my basement has been converted to a public access gym. They want to book appointments. - Bruce Surplus ", "I began lifting weights in november of 98. At the time I was using free-weights in a neighbors garage. I then purchased a bowflex. Since then i still lifted free-weights but still saw no results. It is now July of 99 and Im using the bowflew. I have noticed results much quicker than with the free-weights and can feel my muscles being worked better and harder. I really love my bowflex and it helps keep me motivated. It is so quick and easy to change exercises. Its just great. - Billy Yates", "Just wanted to tell you how happy I am with this machine. I worked out with freeweights and universal gyms prior to this and I get as good or better workout. having this in my house allows myself and my wife to workout more consistantly and more often. I would make excuses for not driving the 20 minutes to the gym and now I can't make these excuses anymore! Great investment! - Tom Retan", "I have been using the Bowflex Power Pro that I bought for several months & I have no douts that it is the best workout unit ever made! I am disabled from a back injury from a car accident & I have to work out to continue to be able to walk straight. (Physical theropy.) I have used a home gym for at least 5 years. I have gotten more results from the Bowflex in the short time I have been using it than all the time I have been using the Weider system! My only regret is that I didn't have the Bowflex sooner!! The Bowflex costs more than the Weider system, but the results makes the cost well worth the price. After using the Bowflex, I wouldn't use anything else, ever!! - Henry Tanner", "My uncle got a BowFlex one month ago and has been working out on it ever since. Last time I saw him, his stomach was pooched out, and he looked like any other middle aged man. Now, he has a better shape than most guys my age, and I'm only 21. Thank you BowFlex! - Jennifer Hoffman", "My name is Wayne. I'm a 30 year old that was just starting to purchase free-weight equipment. I was watching T.V. one morning before my workout and saw the Bowflex on a morning show. I was convinced that this machine would work for many reasons, the first reason, I hated to change my free-weights by adding more plates. The second reason, I kept having a hard time with the free-weights hurting my shoulders. I have purchased the Bowflex machine, and the problems have gone away. One year later I have gotten toned for the first time in my life. I love this machine so much I could be a salesman to people who ask what I lift with. I love my Bowflex. Thank you - Wayne Watson", "I am a 46 year old male.I purchaced my Bowflex because I workout alone, and I was afraid of free weights.I can now work to failure,and maximize my workout time. My results have been impressive in 3 months.If this continues, 20 year olds will be envious a year from now. An unexpected benefit is that my wife enjoys strenth training, and I enjoy the results. A Bowflex should come as standard equipment with a human body. THANK YOU. - James Merlino", "My name is Bill Norlock, Toronto Ontario , 47 years old and after 6 weeks with using the Bowflex I feel more energized, confident and positive towards facing the day. I have noticed my arms getting bigger and have received positive comments from friends and workers. All in all well worth the money and the effort. Besides it is a fun way to exercise. - Bill Norlock", "I am 52 years old. I have been using Bowflex for the past 2 years, and I am in a terrific shape. Even though I was already in shape, Bowflex took me to next level. My appearance improved, my stronger legs helped my tennis game, and my self-esteem has never been so high. I also realized that Bowflex is excellent for seniors, because the movement is smooth, there is no momentum involved, and no pressure in the bones. You only work the muscles. My philosophy is simple: do the basics, forever! If you want to enjoy life at any age, and avoid future complications, Bowflex is the machine that is going to take you to this level. I am a Brazilian, and I suggest you guys to go internationally, especially to Brazil, where fitness is really a common pratice. Thanks Bowflex. - Luis Monteiro", "Hi pleased Bowflex user, We bought our bowflex a year ago in September. My wife and I are greatfully pleased with our bowflex.I work out at least 3-4 days a week,and have consideraly changed my body I was 120 pounds now I'm 135 more musclular and healthier. I used to be a smoker but since I started working out with bowflex I decided that I needed a healthy heart along with a healthy body. This is the first time I have been consistant on working out. I have tried other gyms,nautilus, but this is the first time that I'm actually pleased with the turn out.So i would like to thank-you for helping me being healthier. By the way I'm 46 year old male. - Alan Saunders", "I am a former college quarterback who has used all the latest technology available to work out. I can honestly say that the bowflex gives me an equal, if not better workout than those expensive machines did. The power rods are excellent resistance, and the change over time between exercises is extremely fast. I would like to say thank you to the people at Bowflex for making such a wonderful machine. - Kevin Ayers ", "I have been to gyms on and off for 10 years. Being a working professional, I just never could find the time or the energy to hit the gym faithfully. Recently I caught a program on television dedicated to the BOWFLEX Power system, and immeidatley had to have it. It was exactly what I was looking for! All the exercises I did at the gym, I can now do in the privacy of my own home any time I feel ready. No gym hours to contend with, or cooling down waiting for a tied up machine or bench. My workout now encompasses more exercises than I did at the gym in less time. My wife has recently set up a program for herself and loves the simplicity of the equipment. We sometimes workout together and still are done in less time then it took me alone at the gym. Hands down the best home gym I have ever owned. You can be sure I will recommend The BOWFLEX POWER PRO to anyone in the market for a complete home health system. Thank you for a wonderful product - Kris Klein", "I have used the circuit training features to slice my bodyfat 10 lbs in two weeks training with no special dieting other than cutting down on soft drinks and adding 3 20 minute workouts per week. You'd have to fight me to take my Bowflex back! I especially like the noise free feature as I get up early in the mornings for my workouts and the wife sleeps away just 20 feet from my home gym. - James Talley", "Dear Bowflex, I trained with free weights three times a week for an hour for a year before i purchase my beloved bowflex. In less than three months using the bowflex i saw more results than using free weights all year long!! With the Bowflex i don't have to worry about waiting in line to use items at the gym, if it will be busy when i get there, or the soreness or joint pain i often felt with free weights. Thanks Bowflex for a body i can be proud of and results that cut my training time in half all the while making it fun!! :) - Myisha Grljock", "My husband and I purchased our Bowflex 6 weeks ago and followed the Fast Fat Loss Now program suggested. We were having a difficult time getting to the gym, but loved to lift weights. I am 5'9 1/2 and down to 130 lbs right now with my 14 lb weight loss! I lost 15 3/4 off my body. I went from 33% fat to 23%. I had 47 lbs of fat and now have 30. What a difference. My clothes feel good again. My husband has lost 24 lbs and looks great. And because of our success, we have persuaded two other couples to purchase the Bowflex. Thanks! - Jennifer Mattson", "I recently purchased the Bowflex machine for my husband. Since having the Bowflex machine in his life a lot has changed. Not only has his muscle tone picked up his whole attitude has picked up too. I thind he feels more proud of his self and what he has accomplished. I just want to say if you do not yet have the Bowflex machine you are missing out on a great deal! Also, this product is not only for men, women can use it too. It has the weight ajustments on the machine so you can adjust the weight to your comfortability. - Dianna Bullard", "I am a 36 year old female who has never worked out with weights. Jogging is all I have ever done to try to get or stay in shape, and we all know how boring that can get. I have always had to watch my weight, and nothing has ever held my interest and given me such incredible results as the Bowflex has. I can't believe that I actually go around singing its praises to everyone I know. I am getting about 4 or 5 comments per day about my new shape, and I only started using the Bowflex 5 weeks ago. I spend about 30 minutes a day, 4 days a week working out, and I haven't even changed my diet (I like to eat!). I also don't have to get in my car and drive to a stupid gym. My entire body has been completely recreated. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! - Blair Kutach", "My name is Stuart Hanna. I am from Michigan. Last February I purchased a Bowflex machine. It was the best $1,300 I ever spent. Since my purchase, I have lost 50 lbs. I went from 215 lbs. to 165 lbs. in less than 6 months. I just wanted to take this time to thank you and everyone involved in the Bowflex organization. You helped me better myself and feel great. Thank you so much. - Stuart Hanna", "Hi my name is Dino. I bought the bowflex about 4 mounths ago. I use it every other day for about 30 mins. I went from a 38 waist to a 34 waist. I slashed away 35lbs of fat. I've never felt better. The best part is I can feel the musle in my arms there getting realy big and i love it. This machine is the best investment I've made in years. I love working out on it. - Dino Bisceglio", "I am 35 years old, and I have been a member of one gym or another since I was 17. I have always stuck with it, but the results were just getting harder and harder to see. I bought the Bowflex XTLU on my brother's recommendation (he has one too), and the results are undeniable. I am easily getting the best strength workout of my life, and in my own basement! Not only am I motivated to keep up my workout regimen, but I even use it on weekends and in the evening, when the chances of me going to the gym would have been minimal. This machine works, plain and simple - it's a great product. - Rob Wignall", "The Bowflex is the greatest machine ever made! I have another fitness machine at home, and it isn’t nearly as fun and effective as the Bowflex. You can do so many exercises for each muscle group, and have a free range of motion, so you can variate the exercises easily. The power rods provide smooth and complete resistance going up and comming back down. You feel the burn really fast, and can really see the results in only a few weeks. Your muscles start popping out all over the place, and people start to notice, and get jealous. I will use the Bowflex the rest of my life. I’m hooked on it! In fact, I’m gonna go use it right now! - Thomas Denfeld", "My name is Christine and I purchased the Bowflex XTL a couple of weeks ago. This is the best exercise machine I have ever used. I now look forward to exercising. I just can't say enough about this machine. It's a great investment..don't think twice, just buy one. - Christine Nanou", "I got my bowflex a year ago. I've had 3 knee operations on the same knee. One a year for the past 3 years. This last year my weight got up to 368 lbs on a 5'11 frame. It hurt to walk. I would sprain my ankles just from walking, I was so heavy. After the doctor released me, I went for it. With diet and the Bowflex, I have lost 118 lbs and would like to lose another 25. It has been years since I have felt this good. I was being treated for high b/p, diabetes, and depression. Within just a few months of diet and work out, I was off B/P meds and my diabetes meds were cut in half. The longer I went on this program the less I had to take to the point today where I take no Rx's at all. I still have to watch what i eat and work out ...but i finally found a machine i can grow old with. I teach and my students are in awe..the staff wanst to know what I am doing to lose it. So I am a walking, talking, lifesize(smaller one now) infomercial. - Robb Turrell", "I just started working out on my bowflex. I'm 49 years old and have only used my power pro 3 times. I can tell you in just 3 workouts I can already feel a difference in the tightness of my arms and legs. I love it!! I look foward to working out now and I cant wait to see the changes in my body in the next few months. Thanks bowflex. P.S. I'm 6 ft 5 in tall and have no problems. s. obrycki uniontown oh. - Stan Obrycki", "My husband and I had been trying to lose weight since I gave birth to our daughter 4 years ago. We liked the look of Bowflex and took the 6 week challenge. Being us, we did not follow the diet, though we did make an effort to eat better. Imagine our suprise when we EACH lost over 10 pounds anyway. We look good, we feel good, we are still going for our respective goals, and we are enjoying doing it!! - L Redden", "After several months of being undecisive of whether keeping my current 'space consuming' weight machines or the Bowflex, and since Father's Day was just around the corner, I am excited to say, I cannot wait for my BowFlex Pro XTLU model delivery. Reading the testimonials from result proven customers, I am definitely sure I made a wise choice. I will be taking advantage of Bowflex's challenge of the 6 week trial and you will be reading about my body specs improvements. To all the 'BowFlexians', thanks for the informative feedback. - Joe Cordaway", "I have used my Bowflex for three days, and am absolutely in love with it. As a 36 year old very active person, I tend to push my body to the limit . While doing wind sprints a month ago (with my 12 year old son's soccer team)I pulled a hamstring so badly that the back of my leg was discolored for two weeks. With the Bowflex, I was fearful of trying to do hamstring curls, but the worry was unfounded. It feels like it's almost impossible to hurt yourself because all of the resistance is so smooth. Many machines have an initial slack in the system which jerks muscles around - not the Bowflex! On all exercises I feel that I can push this old body to the max and be safe doing it. Thanks for a great product! - David Simon", "I have tried various pieces of exercise equipment throughout the years and have found none yet like the Bowflex. I purchased the Power Pro XTL just three weeks ago. I understood your guarantee was to try it for six weeks and send it back in the original boxes if not completely satisfied. After trying the Bowflex one time,I threw the boxes that it was shipped in away. Never before have I experinced such smoothness from a piece of exercise equipment. It is definitely a machine that the whole family can enjoy. It is perfect for body building,arobic workouts or just to stay in shape. I'm glad I went with the model that I purchased because the Lat and leg attachments add extra exercises,however I couldn't believe how many exercises can be done with just the Power pro model without any attachments.You could definitely get a total body workout with just the Power Pro. Congratulations on such an excellent machine.Keep up the good work. - Kenneth Bowen", "Needed something to help the record. I saw the Bowflex on a workout show and I decided to try it. I got three for the gym and the free weights don't get much use anymore. Its took an average of 1.6 seconds off everybodys forty. Took about a foot and a half off all the vertical jumps and we've been undefeated for the last five seasons. Not to mention the rushing record has been almost doubled. This thing really rocks. - Coach Harold Chavy", "I didn't believe the ads, any of them. I wanted a home exercise machine and selected the Bowflex after looking at several models. I wanted to lose weight as well, so I followed the enclosed plan to the letter. It was too easy, and I was pessimistic about the anticipated results. I didn't measure % Body fat or do any body measurements, I just did the enclosed program. The results? 30 pounds in 6 weeks, a total of 45 pounds in 10 weeks. I wore a size 46 waist pant, now a 38 inch waist is loose. I feel better, I look better and my energy level is through the roof. I have learned WHAT to eat, and HOW MUCH to eat to be healthy. I'm now doing more weights, aerobics, and eating healthy. Not because I HAVE to, but because I WANT to. I only wish I had started a long time ago. - Geoff Warnock", "Bowflex, Well, what can I say? I was very skeptical at first on whether or not the Bowflex was for me. I saw the Bowflex on a television infomercial and ordered the free video. After veiwing the video I decided to go ahead and try it. After all with a six week money back guarantee what did I have to lose. Well it turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. After topping out at 260 pounds, seven weeks later I am sitting here typing this letter at 225 pounds. Thanks to Dr. Ellington Darden's easy to follow exercise and diet routine I have lost 35 pounds and 4 inches off of my waist. The Bowflex is very easy to use. Changing from exercise to exercise is very quick allowing you to maintain your adrenaline flow thus getting the most from your exercise routine. The variety of exercises is endless to help keep you from getting tired of the same old routine. I even have a couple of the guys that I work with that are interested in getting a Bowflex. It is money well - Jim Fassiotto", "About 10 months ago, I moved from a city where I had 24/7/365 access to 'state of the art gyms'. Since that time I relocated to a small town with 1 gym that has poorly, (if at all) maintained, antiquated equipment. I was so frustrated with the lack of a good work-out I could get there, I just quit going. Keeping in mind that I worked out religiously for 17 years. In a matter of a couple of months I started losing all the muscle I'd worked so hard to build. As I have a sinewy frame, it isn't easy for me to bulk up. That's when I got motivated and finally got my bowflex. I figured the investment in myself was well worth getting the XTLU.I have been back on track now for 3 weeks and am almost back to my mass size that I lost, as well as increasing my weights and reps. In addition,I have discovered a great bonus. This is the first time I've ever worked out anywhere other than the gym. Due to my busy schedule, I had to cram all my exercises at the gym in a specified time frame. Working out - Dr. Phillip Carracher", "For years I was a die-hard proponent of free weights over any exercise machine. I felt that the best workout I could possibly get would be as a result of free weights. Until I met Bowflex. One workout on Bowflex at my friend's house changed everything. It was simply the best workout I'd ever experienced. I liked my friend's Bowflex so much that I went ahead and purchased my own Power Pro and I simply LOVE it !!! I know this sounds like an infomercial, but I'm sure every Bowflex owner would agree with me. - Ken Elias", "I was an avid weightlifter for 16 years. At age 37, I developed shoulder problems. My doctor (an orthopedic surgeon) suggested it's time to do something else to stay in shape, that the weights were just too hard on my joints. So after not lifting for almost 5 months, and selling a garage-full of equipment, I figured I'd try some other form of resistance training. As a 'free weight' guy, I was always skeptical about any machines and their outrageous claims. But after one set of bench presses, I was hooked. Like the video says, like a muscle working against a muscle. Now, it's been two years, and my workouts are as hard as ever, although this time without any joint pain! I feel my exercises in the muscle ONLY, not in the joints. I also was skeptical about the resistance, would 200 lbs on a Bowflex actually feel like 200 lbs of weight? Not to worry, it sometimes feels 'heavier' than free weights! What appealed to me the most, though, was the way it is designed, with two handles instead of one bar. I've always preferred dumbells over barbells, and this is the only machine that offers this feature. No cheating for your weaker side! In a nutshell, Bowflex is the perfect workout machine. - Dennis Malone", "Hi. I have written to you about the Bowflex that I have purchased over a year ago. I am a Teacher of Health Education and I have to tell you that I just celebrated my 51st birthday and my girlfriend thinks I still look like a guy of forty. I have used a lot of machines over the years and I wished that I could have had bowflex ttwenty years ago. I have lost weigth and put back on the muscle tone and strength that I lost years ago. I really love your porduct and with the book on fat loss and diet, I can fit back into my 32 inch waist again. - John Haimeck", "About four months ago I was looking for a 'one-piece' weight machine to replace the free weights that I have used for several years because I was moving into a smaller house. I researched the Bowflex among other 'one-piece' weight machines and decided to try it out after watching the promotional video and reading about the Bowflex on this website. After three months of use, all I can say is the Bowflex is amazing! I was sceptical at first since I am an avid free weight lifter but the resistance the Bowflex provides is very real and very natural. I had tried cable machines in the past and never really felt like they provided positive AND negative resistance. The Bowflex does. It truly does feel like I'm using free weights. I also love the safety of the Bowflex. Since I work out alone, I am limited in how hard I can push myself for fear of dropping the weight on my myself. The Bowflex has allowed me to push myself harder than before. In just three months of use I can already see improvements in my physique - I can't wait until beach season! Thank you Bowflex for this wonderful machine, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent home gym. - Steve Forest", "I purchased my power pro 2 years ago and it has been great. I lived in a small condo and being able to put it in the closet was great. I am a former gym owner and I must admit was skeptical as to whether it would hold up. 2 years later I can vouch for this fine piece of equipment. I have enjoyed using it and hope to continue to use it for years to come. - Glenn Clinger", "I trained with weights and didn't get the compliments that I do now. I like the constant resistance from Bowflex that you don't get from free weights. In turn you get a more self assuring workout, and you can feel every rep. When I'm done working out with the Bowflex I know I had a good workout. I enjoy working out now. It takes less time, instead of going to the gym and being there for hours. - Gary Padilla", "I have been very pleased with my Bowflex home gym. My job as a member of an elite unit of the United States Navy demands that I remain in top phsyical condition, the team and the guys I work with depend on that. My own interests and dedication to my family have me at home spending as much time with them as I can. Bowflex has been wonderful in making the two worlds more compatible. Not only can I combine the two worlds more easily, but I get a very good workout from the Bowflex. Guys ask me how I stay in such good shape because I am not spending hours in the gym each day. We have a saying at the unit that I usually respond with: 'Train smarter, not harder!'. That's what Bowflex is all about, training smarter. Thanks. - Morggan O'Neill", "What a great opportunity to tell you how much I enjoy using the Bowflex and to say that it really works! I'm 48 years old and it took only about 2 months of working out with it three times a week to see major results. I had been a member of health clubs in the past, and although I had good intentions to go, the money went down the drain. With the Bowflex, I can work out at home at any time and not have to wait for the machines! It's easy to use, fun, and I never get bored because of the variety of exercises it offers. A friend started working out with me, and he's amazed at the results he's achieving. A co-worker bought one recently, and he loves it. The Bowflex was well worth the investment. - Marcy Richardson", "Not much of a story to tell, but I did want to share with you and other potential customers how much I love our Bowflex. My wife and I have had it for about a month now and it has really put the fun back into exercising. I find that I am always looking forward to using the Bowflex and can't wait to work out again. Additionally, the fact that it takes less time than all the work I was doing before while giving me a better full-body workout makes it more convenient to use thus making the Bowflex an even more attractive alternative to gyms or free-weights at home. What a fantastic machine. Thanks so much. - Paul Kirby", "I have lost 11 pounds in just 2 weeks. I have never experienced a workout this intense or have such total muscle workout. I spent 7 years in the military and worked out alot, wish I would have had one of these back then! - Raymond Via", "Bowflex is the best machine I have ever used. My arms and chest are firm and my legs are like rocks. I have gone from 270lbs down to a lean 164 and still loosing.
