Multiple Machines in One Device
The Blaze home gym is similar to having a whole resistance training gym tucked right into your den. Bowflex's lat tower with angled lat bar helps build back and shoulder muscles quickly, and the lower pulley/squat station enables you to do squats and build your glutes, hamstrings and quads. In addition, the Blaze is equipped with a leg extension/leg curl attachment that helps develop strong, muscular legs, and the sliding seat rail allows you to perform aerobic rowing and leg presses to improve your cardiovascular health. And instead of different handles for every exercise, Bowflex has designed triple-function handgrips and ankle cuffs with multiple cable/pulley positions that encourage custom workouts. But if custom workouts isn't your cup of tea, Bowflex also includes a workout placard that steps you through the famous Bowflex 20-minute workout.
Power Rod Technology
Bowflex Power Rods give you resistance, or weight, that feels as good as or better than free weight lifting -- but without the inertia or risk of joint pain that is almost always associated with free weight strength training. Power Rod units are precisely manufactured under the highest quality control measures, then sheathed and tested four separate times to ensure quality and durability. Bowflex is convinced that the Power Rod units are so strong that you simply can't wear them out. You can flex them repeatedly, but they won't lose their resistance or break. In fact, they're so strong, Bowflex has given the Power Rods a no-time-limit warranty. If you can wear the Power Rods out, Bowflex will replace them for free.
The Key to a Better Body
strength training is when you perform exercises with resistance to build muscle strength. Strength training is not running on a treadmill, riding a stationary bike, or using a ski or rider machine. Although these types of aerobic machines use "resistance" to increase cardiovascular workout intensity, it is still not the same as strength training. strength training is, essentially, weight lifting. But don't be discouraged; you don't have to get bulky muscles if you don't want to. With Bowflex Blaze you can shape and sculpt your muscles to make your body look the way you want. It just takes persistence and dedication.
Why does strength training work better than aerobics for getting fit and losing fat? Because the more muscles you have on your body, the higher your metabolism rate, and the more calories you burn. Muscle also creates the shape of your body -- muscle is what makes you move, it's what gives you energy and strength. Of course, this doesn't mean you should abandon your aerobic exercise -- cardiovascular exercise is necessary for a healthy body -- but the combination of aerobic and strength training will help you achieve your fitness goals. Muscle acts as your body's fat burners. It's the stuff that makes you active and makes you burn calories. If you want to lose fat, you need to strength train with the Bowflex Blaze to add muscles, burn calories, and look fantastic.

Customer Review :
Bowflex Blaze, an perfect choice : Bowflex Blaze Home Gym
Pros -
1. You get to workout in the privacy and convenience of your home without having to lug free weights around, and/or without having to store a heavy estimate of dumbbells.
2. It is Much safer than free weights in that you can achieve heavy lifting routines without needing a spotter. Ever think you can do one more rep of a heavy bench press on free weights just to realize "oops" you can't? It's not fun rolling that heavy bar off of your chest. For the most part you don't have to worry about injuries with the Bowflex.
3. This ties into #1 but you don't have to go to the gym. The time you spend packing your bag, driving to the gym, changing, getting to the machines (maybe they're open, maybe they're not), showering, getting dressed, and driving home, you can do at home with the Bowflex in probably half the time, or less.
4. There's something about it that makes it practically fun to use. You want to use it. Gym machines and free weights just don't have that same motivating effect.
5. If used properly you Will see great results. I had an older model (Power Pro) a few years ago and used it religiously for heavy routines. Citizen I didn't know (like at the checkout counter) would make comments about how I look like I like to lift heavy things.
6. Free weights ordinarily need to be performed with a precise motion. Deviate from that petition and you just might pull a muscle, tendon, or worse. Bowflex gives you greater leisure to tweak the motions you use to better suit your body type, flexibility, etc.
7. You can quickly switch from one disposition to a fully unrelated disposition (like going from shoulders to legs) all in the same place. The speed at which you can adjust resistance and muscle groups being worked is unbeatable by any other method/machine.
8. It is a high potential piece of equipment, all the way down to the nuts and bolts. You'd have to tip this thing over and run it over with a tank to wreck it. After several years of hard use, the only things you might have to replace are the rods, hand grips, and cables. The rods are free for life, the hand grips and cables are covered for 5 years and after that are cheap (if not free depending on how your conversation goes with the buyer aid rep).
9. Oodles better and oodles economy than the Xtreme models. Having the long bench is Soooo much better than the upright chair and shorter rods on the Xtreme models. I used to have one that was fully loaded (got it for free) but reverted back to the Power Pro (which had the long bench like the Blaze).
10. You get to work so many parts of your body (60+ exercises) on one machine. Many dissimilar machines advertise this feature, but only the Bowflex delivers on this.
11. If used properly and creatively enough, you can probably ditch your cardio disposition unless you're already a hardcore jogger/runner.
Cons -
1. As has been stated by countless Citizen before, the resistance ratings are overly generous. That's why I put "lbs" in quotations for the remainder of this review. Performing a disposition with any given "weight" on the Bowflex is noticeably lighter than free weights. But if this is your only piece of muscle workout equipment, it doesn't as a matter of fact matter. Just know that if you can deadlift "200" lbs for example, that doesn't mean you can pick up a box that as a matter of fact weighs 200lbs. But for most Citizen it would be impossible to max out the motor for all but bench press and leg workouts. So this as a matter of fact isn't that considerable of a con.
2. The 200 "lbs" it comes with won't be sufficient for legs workouts or bench pressing. At least not for long unless you're man that has dinky muscle mass and plans to stay that way, in which case you should just buy a Motivator 2 for $600. For the rest of us that want to gain some good muscle mass, you will have to buy the two $99/each upgrades to get to 400 "lbs". Once you factor those upgrades in, this motor is not such a great bargain anymore, but still much economy than the more expensive, yet inferior, Xtreme models.
3. The leg press basically cannot be done. The strap that goes nearby your back Digs in to the point of pain, unless you're using such a low weight that you're not even giving your legs a workout anyway. An easy alternative would simply be to do squats or lunges away from the motor using only your body weight until that gets too easy. Then buy one pair of cheap dumbbells and go from there. But I might try putting a throw pillow in the middle of my back and the strap next time.
4. The 400 "lb" upgrade places the two rods behind the 5 "lb" rods instead of next to the other 2 50 "lb" rods. This gives a dissimilar feel to those distant 50 "lb" rods than the two that are next to each other. I wish Bowflex would have put all 3 pairs of 50's next to each other. It's not a huge deal though.
5. Unlike the old Power Pro, the flat bench cannot be pushed flat against the vertical bar for a good troops press. Instead the shoulder raises are done at an angle. I miss being able to do shoulder raises right up and down.
Other Thoughts -
Unless you're already very well versed in workout routines, I highly recommend the Bowflex iTrainer software. You have to buy it from Bowflex but it is so cool in that it plans your daily routines for you (you can edit them though) and provides small looping videos of how to do each exercise (instead of finding at a static picture). Get the iTrainer.
I bought mine directly from Amazon for $800, as well as both the 300 and 400 lb upgrades for a total of $1000. A day or so later the price of the motor only (with 200 "lbs") went up to 830, and as of now is 900 from Amazon partners. This is a decent motor but is overpriced at 900 or even 850 when you factor in the need to buy the additional rods. If you're unavoidable that you'll never need the additional rods (but most men will, and some women will too), then you might as well buy the Motivator 2 for $600. The Blaze offers a few more things but the two are very similar.
