Bowflex Blaze – Gym POC

With the patented Power Rod technology in evidence plus some new innovations, the Bowflex Blaze home gym is truly geared for the fitness conscious set. The same quality workout you pay for in expensive gyms can now be performed at home in one convenient set up. This time around, heavier exercise routines are possible, thanks to the upgradeable Power Rod poundage.

Former concerns in earlier Bowflex models are now things of the past with this particular model. For instance, leg attachments allow for thorough and effective lower limb workouts. As well, over sixty exercises can be done on the Blaze; a definite improvement from the PR1000’s mere thirty exercises.

Product Features
Option to customize workout or go with the suggested Bowflex routine. This home gym allows you to go for the twenty-minute workout guide which comes in the form of laminated placards with every Blaze purchase. Or, you can opt to customize your workout by utilizing the set-up’s handy triple-function hand grips, ankle cuffs, and multiple cable pulley system.

Attachments for lower limb workouts. Promising a total body workout, this model features a leg extension and leg curl attachment. There were issues raised about how leg workouts cannot be satisfactorily done on its predecessors, and these new features aim to remedy that.

Upgradeable Power Rod resistance. As previously mentioned, the Blaze offers up to 410 pounds of upgradeable resistance. This is to answer the clamor for more rigorous routines which the PR1000’s 210-pound limit could not sufficiently address.

Pros
Versatile and flexible workout routines. The different and unique innovation on the Blaze plus the no-change cable pulley system allow for a wide range of exercises for the entire body. You can change your exercise routine at any time without having to pause to adjust cables and interrupt the flow of the workout.

Shorter workout time produces speedier results. The upgradeable Power Rod resistance can reap obvious benefits such as stronger muscles and a toned body in less time. The way the Blaze is designed, you can expect to have core resistance as well as cardiovascular stamina while working on your muscles.

Cons
Not as compact as other Bowflex models. With dimensions of 90 by 38 by 83 inches, the Blaze takes up considerable floor space and head room compared to the other Bowflex home gyms. Once it is installed in a sizable space, however, there is no need to move the set-up around so there is still room for other activities.
Still room for improvement on leg exercises. Some customer-written reviews at Amazon point out that, while the new leg attachments on the Blaze boosts leg extensions, it still does not allow satisfactory leg curls on it. This seems especially apparent for taller users.

Customer Reviews
Citing the upgradeable Power Resistance poundage as one of its best improvements and innovation, many customers gave the Bowflex Blaze five stars in their personal assessment of this product. Overall, the consensus is that it is a good home gym investment with many exciting features to help build muscles and provide proper cardiovascular endurance.
