The streamlined Bowflex Motivator 2 Home Gym is designed to give you all the tools you need to get results while keeping an eye on your budget. Offering a total body workout in as little as 20 minutes a day, it incorporates specific circuit training into one workout and provides more than 50 different exercises and up to 210 pounds of Power Rod resistance. Great for all fitness levels, this versatile machine helps work the abs, arms, chest, back, shoulders, and lower body. The Motivator 2 includes a lat tower attachment for gym-style lat pull downs, triceps pushdowns and a leg extension/leg curl attachment for gym-quality leg exercises. This machine also utilizes a squat attachment to enhance your overall body workout. The Motivator 2 utilizes Bowflex's patented Power Rods, which provide resistance, or weight, that feels as good as or better than free weights--but without the inertia or risk of joint pain usually associated with free weights. You can hook one, two, three, four or all of your Power Rod units to the cable pulley system and go from as little as 5 pounds all the way up to 210 pounds of resistance. They're precisely manufactured from a high-tech composite material under the highest quality control measures, then sheathed and tested four separate times to ensure quality and durability. The Power Rod units are so strong, you can flex them repeatedly but you won't be able to wear them out.

About Home Gyms
While offering the convenience of working out in the comfort and privacy of your own home, home gyms also allow you to focus on specific routines without having to wait in line or switch between a complex array of machines. In addition to improving strength, power, coordination, and muscular endurance, weight training can enhance weight reduction, enhance the immune and cardiovascular systems, and help prevent injuries. In general, home gym machines are compact units designed to strengthen and exercise many parts of the body. While no single home gym can provide a complete strength training solution, they are a convenient way to combine many exercises into a single unit. Some home gyms focus exclusively on upper-body workouts, while other, more advanced units focus on upper- and lower-body conditioning. Manufacturer's Warranty

 Great piece of exercise equipmentMar 31, 2008
I am very impressed with the Bowflex Motivator 2. All of the components are made of very durable materials and the process of putting it together was easy. Allow a couple of hours though since it does have a lot of things that require assembly. Using the Bowflex is a very enjoyable experience. The bow action and pulleys work smoothly and don't make a sound. It comes with a book of over 50 different exercises and an eating program. I can't say yet how it will age over time but I am very pleased with this purchase.
 great productFeb 23, 2008
The only drawback to this product is that it doesn't grab you as you walk by & make you use it! It's good for those of us with children who can't get out of the house without them. When I use it, I love it! It is easy to use & even easy to set it up. It is a little taller than my ceiling, but luckily it's a drop ceiling & the tile just pops out. It takes up quite a bit of space & lures children to it, so it has to be taken apart each time I use it. Overall, it's well worth the purchase!
Great for the PriceFeb 18, 2008
I am 6'4" tall and it is not long enough for me while lying down, but it is effective and a great price for what you get. If having a compact machine is your priority I highly reccomend it. If you want the best of everything and compactness is not a major concern you should upgrade to another machine.

Great Device for Home ExerciseFeb 18, 2008
I bought this unit after some nasty health problems. I wasn't sure if I'd ever get back to the physical condition I was in before, but now I'm working to go beyond where I was. Having this unit in my home saves valuable time compared to going to a gym. The workouts are very effective. I don't think you can buy a better exercise device for the price.

Bowflex Motivator 2Feb 15, 2008
I bought this unit for therapy after undergoing open heart surgery and it has worked out great. My doctor said I need to excercise. I used to work out benching 250-300lbs. but that was a long time ago. Well the assembly took roughly one hour and I took my time. I think it was a great buy. Originally this unit went for $1,000-$1,200.00, I picked it up for $599.00 including shipping and no taxes what a buy. You may want to opt. for a more expensive unit if your looking for serious weight gain. I bought the bowflex on advice from my doctor. He said a weight bench and heavy weights was not the way to go as he suggested a more controled and smooth operation. I would reccommend this set up to anyone looking to tone and not for strenuous training.
