Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym review

All Bowflex gyms use the Power Rod technology instead of weights to deliver you resistance. These rods are just as effective as other weights and are a lot safer in many ways as the resistance is delivered through a cable rather than lifting a heavy weight off the floor. The maximum resistance is 210 lbs which can be upgraded to 310 or 410 lbs.

Even though the design is upright there are a massive range of exercises you can do. The whole body gets a workout with each major and minor muscle groups getting several exercises each so you can target them in different ways and from different angles. You may prefer going for the major exercises or target core muscle groups, it’s totally up to you because it can all be done with this gym.

What’s great with a cable system is that while you can do all the exercises you could with another gym you can do more because you get to do fly and crossover exercises. For example the chest fly is a great exercise that really defines and sculpts the chest. The shoulders and back can also do fly movements and that has a big impact on the muscles you’re working.

With this gym unlike the lesser Bowflex models comes a no cable change pulley system. This is essential for any circuit training or you want you’re workouts to have an aerobic feel. This is because with this system you can go from one exercise to another immediately as nothing needs to be changed in the machine. This keeps your heart rate high and is a great variation on your workout.

A nice addition to this gym is that there is no guessing as to the range of exercises or how they can be best performed as it comes with a detailed owners/fitness manual that has detailed instructions for every exercise. You may discover ways of working a particular muscle group you hadn’t thought of or forgotten about. Overall the Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE is a great home gym, it’s space saving, works the entire body and has plenty of resistance. You can’t go wrong in our opinion.
