Bowflex Xtreme XTLU : The Detailed Breakdown
The Bowflex Xtreme XTLU home fitness machine is all about getting you in the best shape of your life... or so the company says, but does it really provide the results you are looking for?
Bowflex is known for its powerful machines that don't take up much space.
This model is no exception. We'll find out if it can truly be a good value and a good investment in your health.
What Bowflex Says :
Get serious about your strength training at home with the Bowflex Xtreme XTLU home gym, which includes a lat tower, squat station, leg attachment and adjustable pulley system for over 65 gym-quality exercises.
It comes standard with 210 pounds of real Power Rod resistance (which can be upgraded to 310 or 410 pounds with optional additional Power Rods). The integrated lat tower with angled lat bar helps to build back and shoulder muscles quickly. The upper and lower pulley/squat station enables you to do squats and build your gluts, hamstrings, and quads.
The XTLU also has multiple cable/pulley positions for custom workouts. The leg extension/leg curl attachment rivals specialized leg equipment found in gyms, and will help you develop strong, muscular legs. Efficient and easy to use, the leg attachment connects easily, and can be removed in seconds for using the squat station.
The Xtreme XTLU utilizes Bowflex's patented Power Rods, which provide resistance, or weight, that feels as good as or better than free weights--but without the inertia or risk of joint pain usually associated with free weights.
You can hook one, two, three, four or all of your Power Rod units to the cable pulley system and go from as little as 5 pounds all the way up to 210 pounds of resistance.
They're precisely manufactured from a high-tech composite material under the highest quality control measures, then sheathed and tested 4 separate times to ensure quality and durability.
The Power Rod units are so strong, you can flex them repeatedly but you won't be able to wear them out. In fact, they're so strong, Bowflex backs them with its No-Time-Limit Warranty free replacement offer.

Reviews If you tried the Bowflex Xtreme XTLU Home Gym let me know. You may find your review on this page helping others interested in it.
My Views This machine delivers results and all for under $800. I recommend you consider the Bowflex Xtreme XTLU if your in the market for a home gym. It offers a wide variety of exercises in a short amount of space.
Almost every review I've seen on the web has nothing but positive results. I encourage you to buy the power rod upgrades to 310 or 410 lbs. They cost around $100 per 100 lbs. You will find youself using more weight than 210 lbs, especially for leg exercises.
There was a couple minor complaints by a few people. The first complaint is assembly. Many people said it took them around 3 hours to construct it. Other also said that some exercises shown on the poster included weren't demonstrated on the training video that was included.
If you can get past the assembly time you should have no problem enjoying your new Bowflex Xtreme XTLU home fitness machine.
