Ordered “New” Bowflex from Amazon end of Dec. When we started to assemble it after holidays, we noticed a part missing–Lat-Pull-down. I called Customer Service several days ago. They indicated they could not send only the part,but would re-issue another Bowflex & I would return this one.
I do not see anything in “My Orders” nor do I have any e-mails with an update.
I am extremely dissatisfied & feel that I am stuck with this expensive item. I would like to get it resolved.

Let’s just say that Amazon is AWESOME!! Instead of paying over 150 dollars for shipping and over a hundred for tax, this was worth every penny! Assembly was really simple except for the seat bar, you almost need two people for that one to balance it out…but I got it on with some patience. Everything was easy to put together and the machine looks incredible!
Now I have worked out on free weights for over 8 years now, getting the Bowflex was a big step for me, but I wanted a gym at home instead of joining a gym and wasting money on membership fees and having to wait in line for the weight area to become free. The first exercise I did was bench press, I was immediately impressed by how great the machine made my muscles contract. My arms shook a lot in the beginning probably because I was not used to doing bench press without a bar, but I got down to the rhythm of it in just a few repetitions. After using the machine and getting an amazing ab workout, I woke up this morning feeling like a truck hit me…which is exactly how I like to feel the morning after a good workout! Sore is a good sign that the machine works! My max on bench press is 275 pounds and 285 on decline, so for a machine that has a max weight of 210 pounds to give me a great workout is just what I was looking for.
I would recommend this machine to anyone because 1.) The price you can not beat with free shipping and no tax 2.) It works your body just like free weights do 3.) You will probably spend the same amount that you pay for this thing over a two year period with a gym that does not belong to you at all 4.) MOST IMPORTANTLY!!! You can work out at home ANYTIME you want and not have to worry about how you look, the weather or the extra expense of driving all the way over there! I think this is a great product, and so far it has made my entire body sore, exactly what I was looking for. I hope the review helps

I purchased it to strengthen some less frequently used muscles and it works great. It was easy to assemble and is nice a quiet during the workout. No clanging of weights. The maximum weight is not enough to do leg press with low number of reps, but you can buy the heaver rod set. I have been using it for two weeks now and I am very happy with it.

The bowflex itself is great…my only complaint is the delivery process. I chose free shipping, and a week later received an e-mail from Amazon with the estimated delivery date. A week after that date, it was still not here. There was no phone number supplied in the e-mail, only the name of the delivery company. So I had to track down the delivery company on-line to find their local number. When I called, they said the delivery had been transferred to another company. I called the number they provided & scheduled time for delivery, since a signature was supposed to be required (he gave me a two hour window). I waited for him to show, but he never did. I called several times & got voice mail each time. I received no call back. The bowflex was finally delivered unannounced the following day. It was left on my porch, so I never did sign for it. If you’re going to purchase this, I’d recommend a more reliable means of shipping – the extra cost may be worth it.

My Husband bought me a bowflex for my birthday, it took him only about a hour to put it together. I choose the bowflex PR1000 and it was what i wanted. The only down fall its not made for very heavy lifting but for a girl it the perfect size. I would recommend this to anyone (women) who wants to gain muscle and lose weight.
