Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
By employing bungee cords offering resistance rather than weights this gym makes it possible to perform 60 total-body strength-building and cardiovascular exercises--including rowing and leg-press--at home without a spotter and means the gym can be more easily moved and can be situated in an upstairs room without extra floor support. The gym can be folded for storage with a footprint of just 21-1/2 inches x 27-1/2 inches. Varying resistance for exercises is easy since each side of the gym has three bungee cords of differing resistance that can be snapped off and on, providing 130 pounds of resistance for most exercises and 260 pounds for leg and arm curls.
Included is a "preacher" curl bar attachment. For comfort, the gym has a adjustable vinyl-covered padded bench and foam-padded ankle and knee rolls. The seat slides for rowing and leg presses. Accompanying the gym is a manual demonstrating the 60 exercises the gym makes possible, which include bench press, chest fly, lat pulldown, and tricep pushdown. The gym's frame is heavy-duty steel. Assembled (instructions included), the gym measures 86 inches long, 44 inches wide, and 78 inches high and weighs 150 pounds. The frame carries a three-year warranty against defects, with parts warranted against defects for 90 days.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty good value. Has a few flaws, but works well overall.,
By JK (Dairyland) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stamina Band Flex Gym (Sports)
The BandFlex comes in two large boxes, each around 70 pounds. I was surprised that UPS delivered them, since I got a note from Amazon indicating that Eagle Freight was handling the shipping. (BTW, this is one of those times when Amazon Prime pays for itself, since shipping is free under Prime, but pretty costly without it.) One box contains the long arms and beams, and the other contains the base and other smaller parts. There are many bolts that are of very similar (but not identical) lengths, and sorting them out and keeping track of them during assembly is time-consuming.
Two cresent wrenches are required to bolt the gym together, along with a Phillips-head screwdriver. I would suggest using a tape measure or ruler to sort out the bolts. The assembly diagrams and instructions in the owner's manual are adequate, but could be clearer. Overall, assembly took me about 3 hours. The only really tricky part was attaching the bungie cords--and the pulleys that they ride over--to the gym. The 3 cords (on each side) need to be stretched a little while you thread a single bolt through all 3 pulleys and keep the cords from slipping out or the pulleys from moving out of alignment or the bolt from missing the hole it mounts to. One pulley set that was pre-assembled at the factory was over-tightened and needed to be loosened a bit, which was easy to do. When done, the gym is very solid and sturdy. I suspect that it is actually a standard "stack" weight gym that has been modified to use bungie cords instead of a weight stack, which is fine by me, since it probably is part of the reason it has such a low price compared to the competition. Plus it keeps the overall weight of the gym down to around 140 pounds or so, which means that I can put it on the second floor of my apartment without worrying about overstressing the loft's floorboards. The gym has several attachments and allows many exercises, including unexpected ones like rowing (complete with rolling seat). Since the cords increase in resistance as you stretch them, they give plenty of "weight" at the end--perhaps much more than the 10/25/35 pounds suggested in the manual. On the other hand, they give less resistance at the start of an exercise. Overall, I find the exercises to be challenging, and I'm still a ways from using all 3 cords at once. Plus, there isn't too much "transforming" needed to ready the gym for the next exercise type. As another reviewer suggested, cutting off the safety clips on the bands makes changes in resistance much easier (but has caused the cords to spontaneously unclip on me a couple of times, so proceed with caution). Adding carabiners between the cord hooks and the cable rings *might* be a workable alternative to cutting the clips. However, changes to resistance for all of the exercises that use the "lower" pulley/cable set are hard to do, as you need to duck under the bench and attach/detach the pre-tensioned bands onto a very small metal ring. The pulldown bar uses this same cable, so it has the same issue. The gym really does fold up into a surprisingly small footprint, and has rollers on the back to aid in positioning. But it is definitely a full-sized gym when unfolded, so it needs a bit of space. Overall, I'm quite pleased with the gym. My biggest complaint is that, when starting exercises that use the bench at an incline (like fly or bench presses), it is very difficult to reach waaaay down and behind you to grab the cord handles, as they're on the floor by the base of the gym. I've found that hooking the handle cords through the training belt and then draping the belt over the bench helps--at least the reach isn't so bad, but it still isn't ideal. Some sort of velcro or hook on the back-top of the bench where the handles could hang until needed would help a lot. Other than that, I think the gym is sturdy, is very usable, and is a definite bargain for the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Value for Money,
This review is from: Stamina Band Flex Gym (Sports)
The Stamina is definitely not a Bowflex, but then I can't afford a Bowflex. I really like the sliding seat for doing rowing type exercises. The Stamina wasn't too hard to assemble, but there were some quality issues with the parts that I had to correct to get everything to fit together. My main complaint is the difficulty in changing the resistance bands. Much of this was taken care by cutting off the plastic safety clips -- they really aren't needed. There were also quality issues with the length of the ropes not being even, which I had to correct by knoting one. However, overall I'm pleased with the value.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stamina Band Flex Gym (Sports)
I purchased this on sale, so that made this an extra good value. And, Amazon ships this FAST-- it took about 3 or 4 days to receive.
It's very easy to put together. I wanted to do this before my husband came home, so I had to add rubber mat flooring AND put this together, which I was able to do. The only part I needed help with was stretching the gray resistance band and getting the pulley and bolt in, since it was difficult to hold on to the band to lessen resistance and screw the bolt in at the same time. It really was pretty easy and the instructions were surprisingly well-written. You must measure the bolts since they are close in size. The machine is great for the price. The only thing that makes this a difficult machine to use is how the resistance is altered. That part is very poorly designed and I keep meaning to go to the hardware store to find an alternative hook or clip to use. The way the leg attachment cables need to be changed is enough to make you want to choose some other exercise over leg extensions! However, if I find some clips similar to what the bowflex uses on its resistance machines (they are built totally differently-- but I like their clips/hooks), I think changing the resistance will be much more pleasant and definitely easier. The machine enables you to do very many exercises. The leg curls are great, the preacher/machine curl attachment is wonderful. You can even do leg presses on this machine, believe it or not, but only to 130 pounds. Still, that's great for me! The lat bar gets a lot of use and that's easy to adjust. All the resistance for the upper body is much easier to adjust than the leg attachment exercises. Still, they aren't as easy as pulling a clip and reinserting it. Another benefit here is the bench itself. It's adjustable to many positions (no decline),and when the upper part is removed, you can use the machine as an rowing machine. And, I've tried many rowing machines, this one is very smooth and almost fun to use. All in all, this is a great value, but not as user friendly as it should be. My husband and I love it since we now don't have to wait for eachother for equipment when we do similar workouts and are working on a timer, since we already have other equipment. So, we have an extra bench now, and extra upper and lower pulley station now, and it makes working out together much more fun!
