One of the first home gyms that hit the market back in the 1990’s was Bowflex Power Pro Gym XTL and its selling record was great. There are many reasons why Bowflex Power Pro XTL is so great and here is the full review.

It has number of optional packages and variations of the machine over time. It has a very simplistic design but it still can be compared to some of the top brands in today’s’ market. The Bowflex Power Pro XTL is great beginner’s home gym and predecessor to newer models Revolution, Extreme 2 and Ultimate 2.

Bowflex Power Gym XTL can stack up to 220lb in weight and can be used to perform over 35 different exercises. These kind of machines are known for the Bowflex resistance system which utilizes “Power Rods”. These are made from a special material and coated with rubber coating. Each road is marked with it’s “weight” The standard system includes a pair of 5 pound, 10 pound, 30 pound and 50 pound rods. Additional sets can be purchased to add weight.

The bench is very versatile. It can be set flat or inclined as well as removed completely and a small seat appears which can slide. This setting is mostly for aerobic row and some other exercise. Power rods can give you a workout similar or intense as you can get them in the gym. And since it is easy to change “weight” and setups, you can just keep on exercising without stopping. Female may really like Bowlfex Power Pro XTL gym as it has handgrips which have strap that you can put around your ankle or foot for legwork. Great for leg raises, hip abduction, kickbacks and inner thighs.

Overall the Review of Bowflex Power Pro XTL is very, very positive. If you have the time to work out, this piece of the equipment beats the gym workout, but you have to be very disciplined and in no time you will have the body you desire.

Shopping online for the Used or New Bowflex power Pro XTL is a lot cheaper than in the regular retail stores.
