How would the Xtreme 2SE compare to the Bowflex Ultimate 2 ? Which one is better?
1288625
I own th extreme 2. The main differences I could see were NO cable adjustments are needed on the extreme model, and the addition of middle pulleys on the extreme. I viewed both of these as significant upgrades, and opted for the more expensive machine. I have not been dissatisfied.

After doing the product model comparisons and a lot of research I went with the 350 because it is the start of the more commercial type rebounder and I felt it would wear better and possibly last longer than the ones in the 220 class. Also, my starting weight was at almost 200 pounds, and I have already dropped 20 pouñds... ; ) If I was a smaller person, maybe I wouldnt have cared, but I am not. I love it so much. It gets my heart rate to go up almost immediately. Good lùck. I think you will be very happy with the bungee style cords. Very quiet when bouncing on it.

The 50 lb. rods for all the upgrades are the same. Some models require an additional bracket that may come with the 410 upgrade. My machine had two places to add the first two additional rods that upgraded it to 310. My Bowflex is 16 years old. When I upgraded to 410, I had to buy an aftermarket box to hold all the rods. They no longer made the bracket to add two more rods to mine. Even so, the rods worked fine.

since you asked this a few months ago - did you decide yet? :-) the reviews of the summit 360 single and double seem to have a lot of people who have had both. the 360 and xc are pretty similar. i'm waiting till a local store has the xc in person to try one. i have a bob dualie and now need a single - the summit seems to have a much less annoying harness adjustment system and takes a taller kid. if it really feels as solid as the bob i will probably go with the summit. otherwise i will get an old single bob as i don't care for the new bob at all.

I'm not familiar with the "craft light" so I'm, not in a position to compare. All I know is that my XtraFlex2 works beautifully and reliably and I consider it an exremely worthwhie purchase.

I can't answer this for you, when I ordered this I checked the list of what it was supposed to be compatible with and for me it wasn't. I have what was the original Bowflex system that had had the 310 upgrade on it, and this upgrade kit didn't fit. From what I can see, the bars would simply attach to the back of the stack that you already have IF your's is compatible. I wouldn't think it would take 5 minutes. Hope yours works on your unit!

I think it is a good substitute for the Nustep. I have used both. I love my recumbent elliptical.

Not officially, but if you're really interested in strength I'd highly recommend the Stealth PBO. It's far, far stronger, and also much smoother. It's maybe $150 more, and well worth it.

I would say yes it does. I have a Bowflex on my mat and it is a big machine. The mat is very thick and super heavy. A worth while investment especially if you have hardwood floors as i do. Amazon does offer a bundle for both. Hope this heps.

The elite has 2 cam buckles to adjust the strap length for the different exercises, similar to a TRX band. The equalizer's straps are also adjustable but will move slightly if your weight is not distributed evenly. But it really isn't any big problem. I'm not even sure the elite was an option when I bought mine. I'm not sure how well hollow doors will work to support your weight pulling against the door. The over the door feature works well with a solid door, or wrapped around a tree limb. I do like the WOSS, the price is good, the quality is good, works just as well as the TRX bands without the big price tag. I hope this helps you to decide.

i got to try both of them out in a store they both feel really smooth but i went with the Nautilus e514 it just felt a bit more sturdy and has a nicer display the schwinn 420 display was kinda hard to read as the Nautilus was light up bright with big nurbers and imo is the better buy ......i had my Nautilus e514 for 4 months now and i use every day and its still like the 1st day i brought it ....and im only 5"4 so we are pretty much the same hight 'good luck on your work outs and hope my review helps

I currently have both the 430 ex II and 270 ex , I am thinking hard about returning the 430 ex II. In P , AV, or manual mode the only real difference I see is the range, the 430 is about 16 feet better. And the 270 does bounce it does not rotate.

1.) The ultra has ergonomic handles 2.) The ultra has webbed like plastic for under the arms, more flexible looking than the regular but I do not really know since I have not seen the regular in person.Those are the only 2 things that I know of.

Well if you're like me and you attend school and work and most likely don't have much time to visit a gym, then I think the Bowflex home-gym will sufficeI like that it uses a resistance mechanism as opposed to just dead weight lifting.Keep in mind you'll need a partner to assemble the machine.Hope that helps man.

There's the basic Gymboss and the Gymboss Minimax version which has more capability. I have the Minimax and it absolutely has the capability you're seeking. Since I don't have the basic version, I can't speak to whether or not you could do that same thing with the basic one.

As Kevin Bice said, any bench that fits you pretty much works. I personally have the Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Bench Series 3.1 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BH7CB2/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1), which is very nice. However, for incline/decline the seat remains in the flat position. I have had no problem so far doing incline with the seat in the flat position, but decline by be a little trickier depending on your height.
