Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Cons

Bowflex only offers a 3 year warranty where it’s competitors offer a lifetime warranty. You’ve clearly demonstrated that profits are more important than personal safety and customer satisfaction. Powerblock makes a much better, safer product.

Bowflex will only replace discs that actually fail during the warranty period. The design is very fussy and way too fragile. Very disappointed with this flaw.

These weights are extremely dangerous, they fall apart while you are lifting after a short time of use. The hand grip is not round - it has an edge that when set to a heavy weight tears into my palm. Resting them on your thighs to get into the positio...  Read More

The price is expensive as i got it for 699

Competitiveness

    I reached out to bowflex about this problem and the customer service was great


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They assumed the handles were defects and sent me new ones


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Unfortunately it was not a defect set

    So if you have gotten to the end of this yes i would recommend these to anyone but the handles need to be changed


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I finally pulled the trigger on the upgrade and while i mostly have positive things to say there are some difference between the two that are worth noting
