Bowflex PR1000 Home Gym
The Bowflex PR1000 home gym is a great way to strengthen your muscles and add a bit of cardio training to the mix with over 30 strength exercises and a built-in rowing station. With up to 210 pounds of Power Rod resistance, this versatile machine helps work the abs, arms, chest, back, shoulders, and lower body. It includes triple-function hand grips for lat pull-down, a horizontal bench press, and four-inch upholstered roller cushions for leg extension and leg curl exercises. The rowing machine rail also folds when you’re done with your workout
The PR1000 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 4 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.

Upgraded to 410 lbs…. how to.
Great product I bought this a year and a half ago and it has been great. I’m a 30 year old, former athlete that had fallen out of shape. This unit helped me build a little muscle and get back into formidable shape. I use it 2-3 times a week and it has held up well. However I will probably have to replace the resistance rods in the next 6 months to a year. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is that the rods will need replacing and the weight limit.Bottom line, if you don’t like going to the…
