The Bowflex Xtreme 2 Home Gym allows you to work out at home with more than 70 different exercises to work a wide range of muscles. The Xtreme 2 lets you change exercises more quickly and easily with no cable changes needed between exercises...

Features

  • Compact, easy-to-use home gym
  • Change exercises more quickly and easily without cable changes
  • 210 pounds of Power Rod resistance standard--optionally upgradeable up to 310 or 410 pounds
  • Lat tower features two adjustable positions with angled lat bar
  • Four-position adjustable lower pulleys with longer squat station

While you will pay more for Bowflex exercise and fitness machines, when compared to other similar products that are on the market, the fact remains that Bowflex machines are engineered and manufactured to a high higher level of standards. Is the Bowflex Extreme 2 any different in this regards or does it only come with a higher price tag.

Is the Bowflex Extreme New and Improved?

Like the name suggests, the Bowflex Extreme 2 is a continuation of earlier models that Bowflex has marketed and it is touted as being vastly improved in a number of ways. Is it only gimmickry or are there actual improvements in this newer model of workout machine that make an appreciable difference in how it is used and its overall effectiveness?

Bowflex Extreme 2

See for Yourself

Maybe its time to take a look and see what you think. One of the first obvious differences is its longer squat frame that accommodates up to four position variations during your workouts. Another new feature is a lat tower that now can be adjusted to two different positions as well.

75 Exercises is the Max of Any Machine

Add to that, that the number of available exercises that are possible to do on this newer model of Bowflex machine now stands at 75 and it really is starting to look like the Bowflex Extreme 2 does have a lot more to offer. In fact, 75 exercises is the highest number of exercises that any Bowflex model now has to offer.

Added Convenience and Ease of Use

Convenience is another feature that this new machine has to offer. To start with, it is a lot smaller, so it will easily fit into even the smallest apartment. Also, there is no need for cable changes when moving from one exercise to another. Still yet, this machine comes with a quick release padded adjustable seat.

210 – 310 or up to 410 Pounds of Resistance

The Bowflex Extreme 2 comes with a standard weight resistance factor of 210 pounds. While other machines come with a higher standard resistance factor, the Bowflex Extreme 2 can be easily upgraded to 310 and 410 pounds. So, this makes this machine a far better choice for women or men who aren't interested in starting out on a high wight machine.

Great Warranty, as Well as in House Financing

Of course, the Bowflex Extreme 2 comes with the same three year warranty on all parts and workmanship that is available on all of their fitness machines. Also, Bowlfex offers their own financing, which is still one more convenience factor to consider. So all things considered, this newer model of Bowflex fitness machine does truly have a lot more to offer.

The Bowflex Xtreme home gym offers a versatile and extensive workout with over sixty different exercises. There are a variety of exercises to work out the chest, the shoulders, the back, arms, the abdominal region, and the legs. A few of these exercises include the bench press, the chest fly, the shoulder shrug, the scapular protraction, standing shoulder pull over with bent lat bar, bent over row, the trunk rotation, the seated/resisted oblique abdominal crunch, the leg extension, the squat, and the hip flexion. The Bowflex Xtreme is also so effective, not only for the variety of exercises, but for the amount of resistance it offers. The standard resistance is 210 pounds. You can upgrade the machine to 410 pounds of resistance if you want to really work your body.

Not only is the Bowflex Extreme extremely convenient and versatile, it is safer than working with free weights alone. Bowflex designs all of its home gym systems with technologically advanced resistance technology that allows for the effects of free weights without the inertia or joint stress associated with those weights.

The Bowflex Xtreme home gym system features the lat tower with an angled lat bar. This lat tower allows you to build back and shoulder muscles quickly and safely. Also new to this system’s design is the abdominal crunch shoulder harness which helps you work out your abs. Using the ab harness and pulley bar can build defined ab muscles effectively.
