Bowflex is good --Bioforce is Better

I've owned all sorts of fitness equipment over the years ranging from free weights , to multi-station gyms , to two versions of the Bowflex (Power Pro and Sport). While I did like the Bowflex machines , once I tried the Bio Force at a local sporting goods store , I was convinced that this machine is superior. The resistance is consistent over the whole range of motion , and one can change the resistance much faster than on the Bowflexes. The only thing that I added was a bar for doing squats. You can just use the hand straps , but I place the foot cuffs on either end of a 9lb Troy bar and it works great , especially since it is already covered in rubber.
this is great for people with scoliosis

I tried this in [] and I was amazed when I got off of the machine because my whole body felt so good afterwards. I have extreme back pain and a scoliosis and using the BioForce makes a great difference as far as no back pain. I love how this machine has where you can change to the different weight sizes.
Bioforce -- Surprisingly good!

Ok, just a quick statement to say I've been in the gyms for a lonnnng time... And I know that free-weights have always ruled. I haven't posted in a while, but have just recently started working out again over the past several weeks, so I'm visiting the sports stores again, looking at what's the newest and greatest and most hyped and high-tech, etc. My sis call me the other day and asks me to help her put together a new gym she got from []. She spent about $1000 on this Bio-force and as I'm assembling it with her, I had to mention to her that I thought she would have been better off with a bench and some handweights... but she made her choice and was happy. Anyway, once assembled, I had to try it. I had tried all the other home gym stuff and admittedly still get fired up when I see new equipment to tinker with at Academy or wherever. I like the new ideas and gadgets, but I can always see the downside (either poorly made, inconsistent resistence, ridiculous price, etc.). I like the Arthur Jones concept of Bowflex and think it may have some merit, but I just don't care for that type of resistence and again, $2000-$3000 is kinda pricey. Back to the Bioforce, once assembled, I hopped on and was quickly surprised. I tried a few of every exercise I could think of. Bottom line, this damn thing impressed the sh*t outta me. Very solid, very smooth, very consistent resistence. The lat tower is very high and extremely solid (my own personal test for any home gym). The leg extension piece could have been beefed up a bit and a heavier grade seat covering would be nice, but for the money, I think she did very good. I could free-weight bench 400 at my best, but can do about 250 x 12 now with free-weights, but I am slowly building back up. However, I struggled with 160 on this, so I question how the force may be measured, but it's definitely smooth. Probably better than comercial cables, without the sound of the clanking weight stack (but I kinda liked the clanking!). The claimed resistance on this is only 220, so you big dudes would probably max this thing out quick on Deadlifts, Squats, and BP's, but this is more than enough weight for almost every other exercise you can imagine -- and if you can imagine it, you can do it on this thing. The changeover time from exercise to exercise is pretty much close to zero seconds, and the weight can be adjusted in less than 1 second. Yeah, I like it. The only downside that I can see here can also be said about any other "machine" or cabled-resistence equipment. To explain, first realize that steel free weights last forever. However, if just one pulley or resistence mechanism goes out on a machine (home gym or commercial gym) the whole machine is pretty much dead. Same with the Bioforce or any machine. However, she got a 5 year warranty, and I called the customer service number just to see how easy it would be to get parts, and was told that free replacement parts are sent out the same day that defective parts are recieved, which means that you have to send the defective part in to get a new part (free) to replace it. However, you can also purchase a part and it is shipped same day, which I guess is fair. She also bought an extra warranty at [] and they come to your house and repair or replace anything on the unit for 3 years as well. We all have our own goals and motivations. In her case, she lives on the second floor of an apartment and the closest gym is about 30 minutes away. I can see how she would consider a piece of home equipment -- and with all that's available, it would have been easy for her to end up with a rickety piece of junk. However, I think she made a great choice. So if you are ever at [] or [] or somewhere that has one of these, hop on and try it. (Hopefully the sporting goods department is well managed and the equipment is properly assembled and maintained). I think you'll see that for someone who wants a gym in an extra bedroom, this is a pretty tempting all-in-one option. The reason I'm posting this is because now I'm considering getting one for me and my wife, and was doing internet searches for other reviews so we can see if there has been any complaints or warnings, and there hasn't been really anything except the usual bashing that goes on when people mention "home gyms" or "bowflex" on the message boards. All I'm saying is that if you have reasons to buy a home gym on a limited budget, this is definitely worthy of consideration.
