Review
Summary |
Bowflex® is one of the top names among home gyms, offering a wide range of options to consumers who want to tone and sculpt their bodies from the comfort of home. One of the benefits of this brand is how it has replaced bulky weights with elastic straps. The Bowflex Revolution® is designed to provide the most workout variety in the smallest amount of space. Both the original model and the XP version (which is slightly more compact) include equipment for the entire body—as the official website states, the Bowflex Revolution® features “all the strength equipment at your local gym in one machine.”

The home exerciser using the Bowflex Revolution® has several options, the arm bars being movable so that any muscle in the upper body can be isolated and strengthened. With up to 220lbs and 200lbs on the original and XP models respectively, the upper body station on the Revolution® should provide more options than free weight can.
There are quite a few ab exercises one can execute while utilizing this equipment with add-ons available to increase your core exercise options. The original model allows you to perform leg presses while the XP model has a station for leg curls, extensions, and squats. The original Bowflex Revolution® also features a rowing machine for a whole-body cardio workout.

| Final Facts |
|
The Bowflex Revolution® appears to be a fairly streamlined home gym for all its features and attachments. The positive aspects of a home gym include their versatility and convenience; the downside is that these systems, the Revolution® included, are often a bit pricey for the average fitness enthusiast. Whether you purchase home exercise equipment or not, choosing a fitness routine you can do from home or in your neighborhood may increase your likelihood of sticking with your workout. Remember to couple such activities with a balanced diet for optimum results.
