If you’ve recognized that you just can’t get to the gym as many times a week as you thought, but you still don’t want to give up on completing some kind of workout to maintain a decent fitness level, then you are likely one of the millions of people whose needs can be met by purchasing home gym equipment. The question for many is what to buy. In our society where many people value nutrition and fitness, a home gym or treadmill is a perfect solution. One reason so many people delay their purchase is that there’s so many choices, so much hype and so much cheap exercise equipment. Before you make any purchase, read

through this article to help you navigate one of the internet’s oldest and best home fitness equipment sites.

Bowflex is regarded as one of the pioneers and biggest success stories in the home fitness equipment industry. Many people have been purchasing Bowflex products to equip their gyms for many years. What most don’t realize is that the Bowflex Website is much more than a place to shop for exercise equipment. The Bowflex website allows their visitors to select the exercise equipment that best meets their fitness goals. With Bowflex products, you have the ability to use the very same equipment in your own home, that is used in commercial gyms. Not only does the site

provide in depth information on their products, where you can request a free DVD information kit, you will also find Bowflex accessories, use the space planning tool, purchase nutrition and strength training programs.

Choosing Equipment

Like many commercial exercise machines, Bowflex products may be chosen for specific fitness needs. When you choose any machine from the listing, you will be able to see the product, read a full description with products specifications, look through the additional options and find out about financing.

The Bowflex line is not just Power Rods and TreadClimber. It is a full spectrum of products that are designed to allow you the same workout you would get at the gym. For instance, if you are

looking for equipment to work on your abs, arms, legs and so forth, check out the Ultimate 2. For strength training exercise equipment, you may want to consider the Xtreme 2 SE and SE.

One of Bowflex’s latest pieces of equipment is the Revolution Home Gym. Also available in the XP model which focuses on your upper body, the Revolution Home Gym is literally a gym full of equipment in one machine.

If you re a couch potato or someone with little to no experience in purchasing home exercise equipment, the Bowflex website offers a home gym comparison. The comparison guides you in deciding which Bowflex meets your personal fitness goals.

TreadClimber

The Bowflex marketing strategy is copy with

a hard sell. You could easily be convinced, that having a Treadclimber or any other piece of their equipment is the only way to health, wealth and great looks. It’s as if they feel all other exercise and diet programs are a waste of your time when it’s certain that committed use of the Treadclimber, Revolution or other Bowflex equipment will ensure weight loss and lasting improvements to your health. The Treadclimber offers readouts that list equivalencies to real actions, like distance traveled and number of calories you may have burned.

One of my favorite features on the website is being able to take a virtual look at the several models of the Bowflex home fitness equipment.

Many of the questions one might have are answered in the FAQs.

Accessories

Other equipment options are also listed. If you want to add free weight workouts to your exercise equipment, dumbbells are available online as well. In fact, all the Bowflex accessories are presented. Everything they think you ll need for a home gym set up is included: interactive training software, the Bowflex Pilates Kit, machine mats and so on.

Besides being a sales site, you will also find exercises, tools to make a space plan for your own home gym, product and assembly manuals and of course the warranty information. One of the keys to Bowflex program’s success is their understanding of their customers’ needs

their 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. The people at Nautilus (who own the Bowflex brand) want you to succeed and will help you get the best equipment and workout to fit your needs.

Nutrition

The nutrition page features Champion Nutrition products that include a Low Carb program and a Muscle Maintenance program. The nutrition bandwagon is relatively empty. While stores like GNC cater to this interest, you won t usually see it at the gyms. Bowflex, cashing in on your concern, does make these products and information easily accessible. You don t just stand in a store reading the back of a box that has a description you can t understand. At this part of the Bowflex website, you get

a special savings just for being a Bowflex customer. In essence, they put their money where your mouth is.
