This review continues our recent trend of spotlighting exercise machines from trusted manufacturers that give the highest return on investment, without extra components that you may not want or need. This mid-range system offers great value for the dollar, plus added versatility not usually seen in home gyms in this price range.

The Bowflex PR1000 creatively combines the popular power rod resistance system with an integrated rowing station to provide both strength training and cardiovascular exercise in one efficiently designed home gym.

Using one or more power rods allows you to perform over 30 different strength exercises and adjust resistance from 5 to 210 pounds. Power rod training avoids the inertia created by free weights that can sometimes lead to accidents or joint stress. The sensation during each rep is very natural and smooth. The high quality composite material is incredibly strong and durable and will maintain integrity even after years of daily use.

Strength training features include lat pull down, bench press, leg extensions and leg curls to effectively work all upper and lower body muscle groups. The variety of positions and exercises helps avoid monotony and keeps you motivated to stay on your fitness program.

Full body warm up and cool down are important but often overlooked aspects of strength training. Using the sliding seat rowing machine is an excellent way to start and end your routine and can be used for a complete cardio workout if desired. It conveniently folds to save space when not in use.

The Bowflex PR1000 accommodates users up to 300 pounds. The package includes a workout placard demonstrating each exercise for easy reference during your workout. We recommend this system for those on a budget looking for a total body workout and long term home fitness solution.
