- Bowflex Motivator 2 Home Gym

Are you tired and fat and want to get in shape? So was I (I know I sound like an advertisement, but it's true). Back in the day I had no clue about eating right and getting in shape. I bought this and used the (once) included guide to eating right and working out. Unfortunately this unit no longer comes with that!

The day I put it together I threw away all my junk food and told myself I would eat better. I ate 1500 calories a day and worked out a half hour every other day. No cardio AT ALL. In under a year I dropped 89lbs. Probably 35lbs within the six week challenge. Using just the Bowflex. Did I gain muscle? Yes, but if that's ALL you want, this might not be for you. I'm sure you can gain a lot of muscle with this if you ate the correct amounts of food and had a good plan.

Will a barbell and dumbbells works just as good? Probably. In fact, if you're goal is to build muscle, i'd reccomend that first. A Gym membership is even better. I have no problems suggesting this product though if you prefer to exercise at home and need something to get started. It did the job for me.

I originally bought the Power Pro model. That didn't have the LAT tower and once sold for over a grand. This model comes with even more and is now much cheaper. I've recently upgraded to this model and it's just as good, if not better.
