After watching your demonstration I purchased this and couldnt be happier with it.When it came in 5 boxes I knew it was an all day put together.It took me no time at all to assemble .I absolutely love this machine....
Thanks for the review. It was more helpful than you can imagine due to the fact you actually used it and put it through some of its motions. Much appreciated!!!!! All the best to you.
Thank you so much for the video man. apparently as of my writing there are 24 "can't be pleased" type of people out there. But anyways, i think you did a fantastic job, and I appreciate your time making it!
Thanks for posting this review. I own a flex rods BOWFLEX and I am very happy with it, but I have been thinking about upgrading to this model. You gave us a regular user perspective about the machine; Thank you!
Great video. I just picked up my Revolution today for $500! I found it on OfferUp and drove 2 hours away to get it. I saved a ton and the thing is in perfect condition with all the accessories. I just had to wipe it down and it was ready to go :-)
Excellent video. I just bought the Bowflex revolution XP from a lady who barely used it. Your video will help me to do the many exercises possible with this machine. Thank you so very much!
Thanks so much for this. My husband and I are thinking about purchasing. To see a normal person show us makes us feel like it's doable. Awesome video brotha! Awesome!
Bro thanks for this review. You convinced me to get the machine. One tip for you (same tip that changed my life a few years ago)... your form is all over the place. If you perfect your form and count to 5 seconds in each direction you would be jacked ( you def already have the foundation). Once again thank you!!!
Simple, quick and right to the point pretty good video..... I have the same machine I think it's awesome, but can you make a instructional video on hooking up the cables quickly to go from one exercise to another I greatly appreciate that.
Thanks for the tutorial. Just ordered the machine today. Pretty excited . Had the old fashioned model for 17 years. Hope this new one is just as durable.
Great review. My only question is: I currently have a Bowflex Ultimate 2 which I am outgrowing. The rods are not enough tension for me to do 12 max reps on larger body parts. I could upgrade to the 410 lbs but is the Revolution have more resistance at 300 lbs max than the Ultimate 2 would have at 410 lbs? I asked the question to Bowflex direct and the said that the Revolution has tension throughout the exercise while the Ultimate 2 had the most tension at the top of the exercise. Before trading up I would love to know the answer to that burning question.
Awesome man, you mind telling us how it is now in 2020? If you don't mind. Or even if you don't have it anymore. Please just so we'll know how it's worked out for you this entire time or for the time that you have had it.
Great Review, Good job I used the one with the separate poles and it whipped me right into shape but they always start out easy and get harder the more there bent, this seems more like regular weights does it come with all the attachments you need?
The Bowflex Ultimate 2 came with a comprehensive video that demonstrated many of the exercises in proper form and also included a couple of workout routines. I'm wondering if this model comes with something similar.
Wow what a great video, really appreciate your work, just one question does all the accessories comes with it? Exmp. That big part for leg exercises and that rope for triceps and also that part for biceps when you sit and did biceps exercise , thanks, waiting for your reply
The whole assembled machine is over 300 lbs. The front extension (where preacher curls or leg extensions can be done) folds upward for storage, then the back main unit where the resistant disks attach can be lifted by a handle and the bottom standing plate has small wheels it can be rolled on. Not very easily on carpet. But if having to move over stairs, I'd say it would take a good 3 or 4 strong guys to pick it up and move it.
Great video.Thanks for demonstrating.I wanted a review from someone other than one trying to market this item.,So thank you! How long did this take you to assemble?
It can be assembled by 1 or 2 people in about 2 to 3 hours if handy with tools. Otherwise it may take about 4 or more hours to assemble for a not so handy person.
I have this machine and I love it. But it's making a loud clicking noise but only on one side. I can't figure out how to fix it or even what is making the noise on the inside. But it only happens when I pull on the right hand pully.
Yes the bench raises all the way up and locks into place. It's a bit on the heavy side but definitely convenient if you need to save space when not in use.
The disk resistance is progressive, where it gets more difficult as the internal band mechanism get wound further. Weights with pins is complete resistance from the start of lifting the weight off the stack. Yes, lat pull downs are possible with it.
Probably a 7 considering that assembly, amount of space it takes up, multiple parts that need to be moved around to perform different exercises and the way the ropes with resistance disks work.
Hi, thank you for the review! Question, we are interested in purchasing this machine to place on a second-floor room. I see your machine appears to be placed on an upper floor as well. Do you know if it's safe to place on an upper floor? Have you noticed any damage to the infrastructure of your home at all? Thanks in advance!
I have had this and now have the bioforce. The resistance are comparable to each other but I prefer the quick change and the increments of the bioforce weights. Plus I think the bioforce is better built not that the revolution is bad (it's also built well) Only issues with the 2 is that I cannot get sore with shoulder shrugs, chest, lat pull downs, and triceps like I do at the gym which I still go. I do push myself to the point of failure. Is there anything you can suggest?
And uuuuuh... I forget the name of this... and uh.... whatever that’s called... but hey! Unrelated to the bow flex, watch me curl 50lbs! Lol. For real though, I appreciated the review.
Nasa Engineered guys, dont forget that. Why isnt there a straight forward video about its effectiveness. Does it feel like you can stack 200lbs? or does it feel week and cap out at 70 lbs? give us some real intel on this machine.
The resistance comes from plastic disks with an internal winding mechanism. There is no mass weight with this machine. Attaching more resistance disks to the machine will make the exercise effectiveness difficult.
@@perezm714 If i were to stack all the disks available what is it equivalent to? Is it like lifting 200lbs or below 100? And is the tention linear or is curved like the other bowflex rod machine?
Yes you can. This video is good but he's wrong on the leg part. You can do squats, leg press, leg extensions, and leg curls to work your entire legs. You can buy a plate upgrade so that the lower body can deliver 610 pounds of resistance. I have a revolution so I know.
Hi, do you still have your revolution I'm in the process of getting one, found a good deal for 350, but I need to know it it really is worth it. Or am I better off getting a few dumbbells. Thanks
Yes, there's a strap accessory that comes with the machine that fits over a shoe that can attach to the and of the rope to perform and standing adduction or abduction exercise.
The resistant disks that look like weights interlock to one another but rotating them counter-clock wise. Reverse the rotation to unattach them from each other.
Thank you. You seem to have another big muscle you didn’t demonstrate but that probably requires a different website. Lmfao. Thanks for the insight into this machine. I was just wanting to find a review of it.
You lost me at "You cant hear me because all o the noise here, I'm sorry, Your fault" and "I don't know the model of the machine, it's a Bowflex Machine" WTF
It's very helpful to see a real person demonstrating real exercises on this thing -- thank you!
Best demo I’ve ever seen. Showed me everything I need to know regarding what can be done on the machine
Excellent video.
Thank you for the demonstration on how to use it. It is helpful.
After watching your demonstration I purchased this and couldnt be happier with it.When it came in 5 boxes I knew it was an all day put together.It took me no time at all to assemble .I absolutely love this machine....
How are your results after 4 years? Did you continue use and do you recommend?
Thanks for the review. It was more helpful than you can imagine due to the fact you actually used it and put it through some of its motions. Much appreciated!!!!! All the best to you.

Very helpful to see this in a home and used by a real consumer. You have a great broadcaster voice. Thanks for posting.
PLEASE put up a video showing how to set up cables for the leg press. Thank you
Best review I have seen for this machine. Cool guy too.
Great video. I just picked up my Revolution today for $500! I found it on OfferUp and drove 2 hours away to get it. I saved a ton and the thing is in perfect condition with all the accessories. I just had to wipe it down and it was ready to go :-)
What do you think of it? any issues pros/cons

so what do you think of it
Chris Sukala .....highly recommend. Excellent machine. Great workout. You will not be disappointed.
Yup, totally getting this one. Thanks for helping with the decision.
That machine is amazing.
That was a good overview. Thanks for that.
I actually own this same Bowflex . It’s definitely the best Bowflex made up to date. It’s built like a tank
Thanks for the comprehensive review!
you had me at I don't know the model
You just covered more in less time than any other video about the Bowflex Revolution! Thank you!!
Thank you for this video. It really helps.
I would love to have a Bowflex
revelation machine!
there's Alot of ps to put together...
Excellent video. Really helped!
Thanks for the review Kobe Bryant
Cool dude. Thanks for the review.

Before trading up I would love to know the answer to that burning question.
I believe so, Revolution has stronger resistance from beginning to end. So 300 max will feel stronger than 410 from rods.
watching this in 2021. this is better than Bowflex's instructional video.
Big help...thank you
Awesome man, you mind telling us how it is now in 2020? If you don't mind. Or even if you don't have it anymore. Please just so we'll know how it's worked out for you this entire time or for the time that you have had it.
Bowflex should pay you a salary. Their website doesn't have any information on specific exercises/uses of this machine. Thanks.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful.

Thanks for the review. I have questions how tall are you? I'm planning to buy one but I'm 6'7
Thanks for the quick demo. You did a good job showing the capabilities of the machine! Are you still using it? How do you like it?
Nice, so it can be used as a rower machine as well yes? And how much is the maximum resistance weight...lets say for bench press? How much lbs?
How heavy is this setup with all the accessories? Looks like it would not be easy to move if I am moving.
The whole assembled machine is over 300 lbs. The front extension (where preacher curls or leg extensions can be done) folds upward for storage, then the back main unit where the resistant disks attach can be lifted by a handle and the bottom standing plate has small wheels it can be rolled on. Not very easily on carpet. But if having to move over stairs, I'd say it would take a good 3 or 4 strong guys to pick it up and move it.

I been reading a lot and people say they break quit often
I have this machine and I love it. But it's making a loud clicking noise but only on one side. I can't figure out how to fix it or even what is making the noise on the inside. But it only happens when I pull on the right hand pully.
Thanks for a great review!
Great video very informative
I’m getting one after this COVID shit thanks for the video
Is the resistance the same throughout the entire movement? Or is it like resistance bands where there is slack at the bottom of the movement?
that was great, does it fold up?
Yes the bench raises all the way up and locks into place. It's a bit on the heavy side but definitely convenient if you need to save space when not in use.
How does the resistance compare to machines with pins on the weights? Also can you do lat pull downs?
The disk resistance is progressive, where it gets more difficult as the internal band mechanism get wound further. Weights with pins is complete resistance from the start of lifting the weight off the stack. Yes, lat pull downs are possible with it.
Thanks for the nice demo.
Great review Thanks
Thanks for sharing your experience with it!
If you had to rate it on a scale from 1(being the worst) to 10 (being the best) what would you rate it?
Probably a 7 considering that assembly, amount of space it takes up, multiple parts that need to be moved around to perform different exercises and the way the ropes with resistance disks work.
would u recomend this or the rack workout
Hi, thank you for the review! Question, we are interested in purchasing this machine to place on a second-floor room. I see your machine appears to be placed on an upper floor as well. Do you know if it's safe to place on an upper floor? Have you noticed any damage to the infrastructure of your home at all? Thanks in advance!
Would suggest putting it lower such as a basement but if thats not an option would not see a problem with it in a higher floor
Great job!
Great video personal trainer no bars to move where can I get one
Thanks
Thanks for sharing
Leg squats are killer
Are you going to show the results of the bowflex?
Nice review

Incorporate free-weights in your workout.
And yes I am very creative with my home gym and do change it up.
Okay
Good review
If you can’t hear me cus I’m recording in a noisy environment.. my bad your fault lol ok guy 👎
Do you still have it?
thanks!
Do you still use it? Was it worth it? Do you still think it would be a good buy today?
Better than Tonal or Vitruvian that require a perpetual subscription to work
Just curious are you still using the machine did you decide to join the gym and your equipment collecting dust. ha ha
Damn you mind goes blank a lot lol
And uuuuuh... I forget the name of this... and uh.... whatever that’s called... but hey! Unrelated to the bow flex, watch me curl 50lbs! Lol. For real though, I appreciated the review.

Is there any way to work out your inner or outer thighs on this? Thanks and great video very helpful.
Yes, there's a strap accessory that comes with the machine that fits over a shoe that can attach to the and of the rope to perform and standing adduction or abduction exercise.
How do you fold it up to store?
There's a locking safety pin near the end extended bench and the bench is pulled upwards using handle afixed to the bench base.
Those those plates wear out?
The rope is what begins to stretch over time but the machine has an adjustment feature to compensate for this.
I own one of this and love it,I also own dumbbells
how does this adjust weights?
The resistant disks that look like weights interlock to one another but rotating them counter-clock wise. Reverse the rotation to unattach them from each other.
5zero 🤔🤣🤣🤣😂I love real reviews
Thank you. You seem to have another big muscle you didn’t demonstrate but that probably requires a different website. Lmfao. Thanks for the insight into this machine. I was just wanting to find a review of it.
so that is the kind of body a bowflex will give you or this guy barely works out?
Imtiaz Alishan i was gonna say. Lol
Do you know how long he's been using it? Are you a competitive weightlifter who is huge and ripped? I doubt it.
Well.....?
You lost me at "You cant hear me because all o the noise here, I'm sorry, Your fault" and "I don't know the model of the machine, it's a Bowflex Machine" WTF
Seated row is the exercise
Great job!
