Hi Jo:
I just happened to start looking at bowflex because I saw a newspaper ad for them.
I've been doing PT for muscular imbalance, I have degeneration in my neck and lower back pain. I work on a computer all day. I've been using cybex machines at PT, but it ends soon and I really need to continue the exercising at home. Joining a gym won't work for me now. I can work out at home though.
Can you please tell me which home machines can provide exercises for me? I do have aerobic rider machines that I just pulled out of storage. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Jo's Answer:
I asked for her price range and she responded that she could go up to $1000 because she gets a $550 fitness credit from work!
Hi:
The Nordic Track Futura 2600 was $1200. It's an older machine. You can get it on eBay for $199! It is basically the same as Weider's Crossbar and a year old so it is possible you'll find it on eBay at a good price. There are no bows.
I really like the Powertech Workbench Leverage gym. This is great but it uses plates which you may not want to lift. Then again you will probably be lifting light ones so that won't matter. They don't come with the machine so that's an added cost. You can get it for around $800.
The Health Max Pro Home Gym is not a well known machine but it costs $400!!I
Think about what you want to accomplish; how often you will use the machine; and if it is a good investment rather than making do with what you have and adding some inexpensive pieces.
