 Poorly made, cheap plastics. November 2, 2008
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I purchased this machine five weeks ago, received it three weeks ago, and have yet to be able to assemble and use the home gym. Upon receiving the product, and unpacking the many boxes that it came in, several items were broken and screws were missing. The metal part of the machine appears to be strong and ruggedly built but the plastics are cheap. One of the main pre-tensioned 5 lb weights, critical to assembling the machine, was broken due to it being made of cheap plastic. Another 40 lb plastic weight had its middle section pushed in and was useless. Customer service has been fair to deal with but slow in responding to e-mails. Due to a lack of any part number listing in the instructions, wrong replacement parts have been shipped and I've yet to be able to assemble and use the machine. I'm not happy with the quality of this item which costs nearly 3000 dollars!
 A problem with the weight selection September 27, 2008

Bowflex Revolution Home Gym
The smallest weight increase is 10 pounds (5 on each side). Many times when you raise the weight, the total change should be much smaller, 1, 2.5, 5 pounds, as is possible with most gym machines. For those of us who want fitness as we grow older, but are unable to build massive weight-lifter bodies, this is a real problem. So, it may be important to consider other possibilities.
Aside from that, this is a good machine.
Don't buy from THE FITNESS OUTLET September 13, 2008

I like the Bowflex Revolution a lot.
BEWARE: Nautilus is not honoring the warranty unless the seller is an authorized dealer. I bought this product from "THE FITNESS OUTLET" through Amazon and I'm having trouble getting Nautilus to accept my warranty registration. So far, I have not had any problems with the gym...I just hope I don't need the warranty.
 Great Home Workout August 9, 2008

I recently bought this product. I have trained and worked out for over 30 years. I have competed in body building in the past also. My current schedule left me unable to make it to a gym with the frequency that I like so I started my search for a good home gym product that could give me a complete workout. I researched for over 2 months before deciding to part with the money for this system. It is very heavy and once emplaced it is best to leave it where you set it up. As to working out it has amazing resistance and feel. I like to train the negative side of the muscle with contractions while lowering the weight and this machine gives a great smooth movement. It takes some getting used to and of course it is not as good as some of the specialized machines in the gym. Bottom line, this is an excellent choice to get a work out from home with no waiting for equipment to come available.
 Great home gym July 27, 2008

Gives a great workout, and relatively compact compared to any other home gym (talking about the full Revolution, not the condensed XP). It takes a little getting used to the positions (just a couple sets) but is a little more natural if you are a prior gym rat that has worked with cables before. The only downside (which is kind of a big one) is that I'm 5'11 and I don't really get a good full range of motion on some exercises, such as the leg press, I'm only getting good tension through about half of the repitition. The spiraflex plates seem to work pretty well though, and the equipment is rather sturdy. (Heavy too).
