Bowflex Extreme 2 Review

The Bowflex Extreme 2 Gym is the second generation of the Extreme and falls into the middle price range of the Bowflex gym lineup between the Revolution and Ultimate 2 on the top end, and the Sport and Motivator on the low end.

The Bowflex Extreme 2 is a nice compromise between the super high end Bowflex's and the low end machines and has many of the features that you need in a gym, including the ability to do full squats (may be tricky for beginners though).

I really like the way the 4 position adjustable pulleys allow for more freedom of exercise choice and it's super easy to find a comfortable position for each exercise as the seat also moves up and down and even completely removes if needed for leg exercises.

The lat tower, leg developer (leg extensions and leg curls) and pulleys can be used without ever needing to change a single cable so it's easy to move from one exercise to the next without any hassles.

One of the biggest appeals of the Bowflex Extreme 2 has to be the compact size. This gym will fit about any size room in your home with feet to spare on each side (unlike the Ultimate 2 and Sport and Motivator).

Key Specs on the Bowflex Extreme Home Gym:

  • 210 pounds of Power Rod Resistance standard - upgradeable up to 310 or 410 pounds
  • Lat tower featuring 2 adjustable positions with angled lat bar
  • 4 position adjustable lower pulleys with longer squat station
  • Leg extension attachment - to develop strong, muscular legs
  • Adjustable, quick-release seat
  • No-Time-Limit Power Rod Warranty
  • 7-year limited warranty & 6-week Fitness Results Guarantee

The Extreme 2 is a good gym for the more serious home workout trainer that wants a smaller footprint, the ability to adjust the workout angle and the ability to do full squats.
