Customer Review: Eastbay Gym Sack
Bags were of good quality and suited our purposes for a group gift. The shipping charge of $2 per item + regular shipping charge made them a little pricey. Overall we were satisfied with the purchase. Will use Eastbay again because of good quality and fast service. .

Do away with gym memberships and get fit in the comfort of your own home with the Gold’s Gym GB 1500 weight bench. The GB 1500 is equipped with telescoping uprights that let you adjust the height for a variety of exercises, along with a host of other attachments, such as a curl yoke, six-roll leg developer, and a preacher pad. The bench, which is wider than a standard-width bench, also gives you plenty of room to move while offering a high weight capacity of 210 pounds. And because it adjusts to several positions–including flat, incline, decline, and vertical–you’ll always enjoy the proper exercise form regardless of which muscles you’re exercising.

The attachments, meanwhile, support even more exercises. The curl yoke, for instance, help you build your upper body, while the six-roll leg developer targets your quadriceps and hamstrings. When it comes time to work your biceps, you can turn to the preacher pad, which effectively isolates the muscles. Other details include built-in weight storage, an exercise chart that tells you which exercises focus on certain muscle groups and how to efficiently perform each one, a high-quality double-stitched vinyl seat, and Olympic adapters for people who prefer Olympic-style weights. The GB 1500 is backed by a 90- day warranty.

not sellers fault but i received the wrong peice and took a week or so to correct the prob. great seller
Customer Review: Very strong and very built
I’ve only had it a short time, but I am very pleased with everything about the bench. The assembly went well, with only one small glitch, that was not a problem. Make sure you assemble it in the room where it will live, it is too big to go through a doorway.

Very stable and strong. Not a single wobble, no matter how much weight I’ve got on it. The best bench I’ve owned, and for the money a real bargin. .

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.

Customer Review: Bowflex Extreme 2
Recently purchased. Pricey, but high quality material. Will last many years. One person can assemble but plan on 2 to 3 hours. Recommend working on technique before wanting to upgrade the power rods. You might not need the additional upgrade and save some $$. Also, recommend the $15 purchase of the rod rejuvinator (holds the rods in place when not in use). Would definitely recommend the Bowflex to my friends.
Customer Review: Good machine, but very poor quality control.
We picked up our new Bowflex Xtreme 2 last weekend and promptly started opening boxes to build our new “Home Gym”. Box #2 states clearly on the outside that the instructions are provided in Box #1. In our experience, that wasn’t the case. No instructions were provided in any of the boxes (issue #1). I found the assembly instructions on-line, but really didn’t want to waste 26 pages to print the manual so we contacted the sporting goods place we bought the Bowflex and they dug up a very worn manual we could use to get ours assembled. As others have indicated, plan to spend a little time and work through the assembly instructions step-by-step.

As we progressed through the instructions, we found multiple discrepancies between what the instructions showed, and what was pre-assembled from the factory. As an example, the pulley bar that ties the leg supports together in the back has the pulleys mounted in the front while the pictures have them in the back depending on which page you are looking at (issue #2). Another discrepancy is where the manual shows a place the hooks on the rear idler pulley bracket when not in use. The cables are not long enough to reach the bracket so they end up dropped on the floor (issue #3)

The final kicker to our assembly debacle came when we started to load the power rods for an enjoyable workout. One side has the 50-30-10-10-5 rods as described while the other side has a set with 50-30-10-5-5 (issue #4). Given that the power rod block was pre-assembled by the factory in Box #1 (without the instructions), it calls into question the overall quality control surrounding the assembly at the factory.

A few people have referred to the operation of the cables and power rods as silent. This is not true. The eye-bolts have flat spots on the insides that cause the cable bracket eye-bolts to snap at certain points throughout the range of motion of the tool. Some minor detail work with a rotary sander will smooth out the flat spots, but the first couple of times you hear the snap and pop, it’s surprising.

Response via email from Bowflex is not the greatest. On the 5th day after our original email asking for a new manual, poster, and DVD, we received a return email that was blank. I suspect a phone call will be in order to get the problems worked out.

After all the initial issues, we are still keeping the Bowflex Xtreme 2. It is built well enough and we look forward to thinning down the overwhelming number of exercises into a more manageable group as we develop a workout routine.
