Comments about Bowflex Bowflex PR1000 Home Gym - Fast FREE FedEx Shipping:
Keep in mind that when you use it, you will need more space side-to-side! I underestimated how wide a space it needed and had to move the machine after it was set up so I had enough space to use it. Other than that, no problems setting it up, it's easy to use, and I'm already gaining muscle and losing fat!

My husband and I bought this online for a better price -- [...]-- after checking out a floor model at a local chain store. It wasn't difficult to put together, although it IS a two person job. It took maybe an hour and a half to set it up. It comes with a manual of exercises which is fairly easy to follow, and we've been doing the beginner routine now for about three weeks. It's a good workout. I'm usually sore afterward and now I can see a distinct difference in how toned my muscles are becoming, which is the result we bought it for. We aren't trying to do body building, and this wouldn't be the best machine for that, but for the price it delivers all that we were needing -- a good workout for general strength building and to keep from losing muscle as we age. I found the resistance works very smoothly and is ever so much nicer to move than weights. It just FEELS better to me while I'm working out. I don't dread the workouts like I probably would if it seemed more difficult. As others have noted, there's more resistance toward the end of a movement, so it's best to sit farther back on the seat to make sure you get a good amount of reistance during many of the exercises. The power rods are easy to change during the workout. The seat and all parts are sturdy and well-constructed. I am enjoying this piece of equipment and I'm so pleased that we went with this instead of the other weight-type home gyms we looked at. The bowflex workouts "feel" easy but the results are extremely satisfactory for somebody like me who wants to be fit and strong but not bulk up like a body-builder. It's great to have it right here at home and not have to dress and go somewhere else. Also, if I ever want to sell this piece of equipment to upgrade to something more powerful (like the Bowflex 3000, maybe???) then the BOWFLEX name should help with resale.

As a busy working mom time is priceless so heading out to the gym was always a challenge. With BowFlex I am able to work out while the family is still asleep without interruption. The equipment is quiet and there is smooth transition from one exercise to another (once I was able to create the routine that was best for me). The equipment is easy to put together, I did it myself and would not hesitate to re-purchase product.
Delivery was on time and package was still intact! No evidence of rough handling at all. A positive first time experience.

This is a good machine if you just want to workout. Not the best for the body building type. When assembling this machine you need to make sure to check the length of the bolts, otherwise you will find yourself redoing a lot.

Comments about Bowflex Bowflex PR1000 Home Gym - Fast FREE FedEx Shipping:
The Bowflex PR1000 is the least expensive of their product line. However, it is made well, easy to assemble and is an excellent product for the individual who is looking to stay fit. If you are looking to be a body builder you will have to buy a more expensive model.
Delivery was as promised and the Bowflex arrived in excellent condition. This coupled with good customer service keeping me informed of my order in process and the best price on this equipment that I could find anywhere made my experience with Mercantila outstanding.

Comments about Bowflex Bowflex PR1000 Home Gym - Fast FREE FedEx Shipping:
Excellent design. Easy to use, set up and offers versatility in terms of the number of exercises you can do. Helpful information included about various kinds of work-outs for different kinds of users.
My delivery was not only prompt, but it arrived earlier than the posted date online. It arrived in excellent condition, it was well packaged. Customer service was excellent and attentive, I had to make a slight correction on my delivery address (my mistake), and they quickly made the change and followed up with me to make sure it was correct.

Comments about Bowflex Bowflex PR1000 Home Gym - Fast FREE FedEx Shipping:
Sturdy materials. Great assembly directions, and fairly quick set-up.
A little bulky if you're short on space space. I found room in my workshop.
Just started using it, and it appears it will be fine for part of my work out routine of walking and bicycling. Am not into heavy duty muscle building, but conditioning and strength training.

Perfect for seniors, no weights to change, just resistance pulley rods that are changed easily. Excellent for keeping in shape and building muscle and body tone. Takes up very little space, I love this bowflex machine.
