Amazon.com Product Description

Schwinn Fitness brings home the power of Bowflex at an affordable price with the Schwinn Force Home Gym, which provides a gym-quality workout without the typical home gym price. It offers 210 pounds of Bowflex Power Rod resistance technology and over 30 exercises in a compact package that can fit in the corner of your home, garage, or even small apartment or condo. 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. Great for all fitness levels, this versatile machine helps work the abs, arms, chest, back, shoulders, and lower body (with the leg curl/extension attachment). It offers the following exercise options:

• Bench press station: Develops and strengthens the muscles in your chest and arms
• Butterfly: Provides a complete pectoral workout for building muscle definition
• High pulley: Fine tunes your lats and back
• Low pulley: Offers the ability to perform a variety of exercises including rowing and hip exercises
• Incline press: Allows you to focus and isolate your upper muscles during your workout
• Leg curl/extension station: Strengthens your hamstrings and quads

The Schwinn Force features a heavy duty steel construction and offers a sweat-resistant, cushioned vinyl seat with an adjustable back. Plus, the seat rail slides for aerobic rowing. It also has an adjustable leg restraint, providing proper support for a range of users, and handgrip/ankle cuffs for custom workouts.

The Schwinn Force 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 five 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 four 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, they're backed by a five-year warranty.

• Weight resistance: 210 pounds
• Number of exercises: 30
• Dimensions: 38 by 75 by 83 inches (WxLxH)

About Home Gyms
While offering the convenience of working out in the comfort and privacy of your own home, home gyms also allow you to focus on specific routines without having to wait in line or switch between a complex array of machines. In addition to improving strength, power, coordination, and muscular endurance, weight training can enhance weight reduction, enhance the immune and cardiovascular systems, and help prevent injuries. In general, home gym machines are compact units designed to strengthen and exercise many parts of the body. While no single home gym can provide a complete strength training solution, they are a convenient way to combine many exercises into a single unit. Some home gyms focus exclusively on upper-body workouts, while other, more advanced units focus on upper- and lower-body conditioning.

Product Description

This Schwinn home gym utilizes the same Power Rod Resistance as the top-of-the-line Bowflex models with 210lbs of Bowlfex Rod Technology resistance.

This review is from: Schwinn Force Home Gym by Bowflex (Sports)

This was an extremely well considered purchase on my part and I am pleased with the outcome. I have thought about buying a Bowflex machine for years, but have always been a little off put by the prices: (Would I really use it enough to justify that price tag?) So, when I saw the Force (by Bowflex) for under $500, I decided to risk the purchase since it claims to use the same technology as the Bowflex Sport. I do believe this is just about the same machine as the Bowflex Sport. Anyway, turns out this is a great machine. The fact that I can do so many different exercises on the same machine makes it hard to get bored. I have been using it for a month, and while I look nothing like the guy in the bowflex commercials, it's not because of the machine!

This review is from: Schwinn Force Home Gym by Bowflex (Sports)

My bowflex came after a week I ordered it. The nuts that came with the product can only be tighten to a point. Therefore, ALL of the screws are very loose. I ended up buying 9 nuts from Home Depot for $.72 and then I assembled it with no further problem. Other than this flaw(could only be my package), Bowflex works great. The motions are fluid and you can work almost every part of your muscle (though I still prefer doing sit-up for working ab). For $400 + $.72, it is definitely worth buying.

I bought this during a Friday Sale ($349) and received the free Bowflex mat & free shipping.

This home gym is easy to set up. It should take you about an hour.

My wife & I both use the gym. For the money, this is a very nice piece of equipment.

Buy this instead of the Bowflex Sport and save yourself hundreds of dollars. They are basically the same machine.
