Product Description
Amazon.com
The Bowflex PR1000 home gym is a great way to strengthen your muscles and add a bit of cardio training to the mix with over 30 strength exercises and a built-in rowing station. With up to 210 pounds of Power Rod resistance, this versatile machine helps work the abs, arms, chest, back, shoulders, and lower body. It includes triple-function hand grips for lat pull-down, a horizontal bench press, and four-inch upholstered roller cushions for leg extension and leg curl exercises. The rowing machine rail also folds when you're done with your workout
The PR1000 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 5 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 4 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.
Features and Specifications:
- Sliding Seat Rail adds aerobic rowing training for calorie-burning, cardiovascular warm-up and cool-down (also great for leg presses and seated leg extensions)

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have had it now for a little over 3 months and wanted to wait to review it because I really wanted to spend some time evaluating it (again, was very skeptical). I feel comfortable doing so now. I will list my observations below:
1. The price and free shipping through Amazon were unbeatable. Although you can pick this older version of the Bowflex up at Academy Sports and many other big chain stores for a similar price, having it delivered to your garage was very nice and convenient.
2. Assembly was really very simple, and I'm not mechanic at all. It took me about an hour and was very easy/unproblematic.
3. The machine is very sturdy -- sturdier than I anticipated in fact. I don't see it failing structurally anytime soon.
4. The power rods are also very sturdy. I actually set out with the mindset that I'm going to try to break the damn things (not literally, but not hold back on them) and just see if they hold up. Thus far, they have been amazing.
5. The versality of the system -- while obviously not a full gym -- is really pretty amazing. You can get a nice full body workout with it. Granted, you will lose the ability to do some of the exercises available in a full gym or on some bigger much more expensive systems, but I've honestly gotten more ripped and in better shape with the Bowflex than I did after years of going to the gym doing free weight and machine training, so that downside is really minimized or offset by the end result.
6. I was very concerned about the seemingly low resistance weight (supposedly 210 lbs, which seemed like a joke), but not anymore. I am an average sized guy (5'11", 175) and it is more than adequate. Granted, I'm not trying to become a body-builder with this thing, but instead trying to get a good, strong resistance workout and have been able to do just that with resistance weight (rods) to spare. No concerns at all with resistance level/weight (some folks have complained about the weight being lighter than what it is supposed to be, but even if it is, it hasn't affected me at all. Just find your preferred resistance and you are set; the numbers really don't matter once you learn the system, which is quick to do).
7. Using the machine is incredibly efficient. I can now get nearly the same workout I was getting at my 24-hr gym in literally half the time (or actually less) with no waiting and super quick change outs between exercises, the latter of which I was initially worried about being too burdensome. It's not at all. Super fast and efficient.
8. Regarding the size, it is about what you'd expect from a standard bench press set-up, only it folds up nicely. I have mine in the garage and have no complaints about its size or space and neither does my wife.
9. Regarding the resistance exercise vs. standard weight and machine training issue/debate, there is a difference and it does take a little bit to get used to, but I did within the first work-out or two and now very much prefer resistance training. You get resistance both ways and have a greater range of motion than most gym machines (and with free weights you often need some type of support).
That is about it. I have come to love this thing and am very glad I got it. I can now workout at home anytime I want to without waiting and really enjoy it. It is super fast and efficient and very sturdy and challenging. It is a brilliant machine and concept and I highly recommend it if you have the right expectations.
I was able to assemble the product myself - the only parts not included are two adjustable wrenches (and you will very likely need TWO). The assembly wasn't any more difficult than many other things I've assembled - just read and follow the directions carefully and it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Some of the steps were a little tricky by myself so having another for a few things probably wouldn't hurt, but as I said I was able to do it without any help and I didn't go crazy or anything like that in the process. My only complaint with the assembly was a few of the small pieces that I had to hunt for. I noticed during the assembly, and now from using it, the equipment is very sturdy. Not cheap plastic or anything like that, so you're definitely getting something that won't easily break.
As far as the exercising, I was basically looking for something with a wide range of strength exercises to supplement an existing routine I was already doing. It needed to be something that could do a number of things, but that I could use safely on my own. I looked at a few different pieces before settling on this and I'm glad I got it. It supports a wide number of exercises for different muscles, and the manual that lists them was a nice addition - there were definitely some exercises in there I wouldn't have thought to try with it. When you first start using it you may find it a little awkward, especially since each hand is working a different set of flex rods without the stability or support of a solid rod like normal weight lifting. After a bit, though, you'll get used to it and won't really notice it at all. It didn't take too long to get used to adjusting the rods and doing the exercises and after a week or two you'll have no trouble setting the machine up for whatever you need. I wouldn't call this a heavy, heavy strength training machine - it's not gonna turn you into a 1980s Schwarzenneger, but for most people looking at strength training equipment this is a good choice. A few people did mention they didn't think the max 210 was enough for their legs, but I would agree with some others that if you're performing your reps in a slow and controlled manner then you'll find yourself getting a good workout.
A few other things - as I said it comes with a manual that outlines different exercises along with some routines that you can follow throughout the week to get started, so even if you're not familiar with the exercises there's stuff there to get you going. The bench can fold up, and it's very easy to do so - no hassle to get it up and down like some other equipment I've used. So overall I'd certainly recommend this to home exercisers - it made a very good addition to my routine and probably will for you as well.
Top reviews from other countries
The movement of the machine is smooth. It is a joy to use, and really does make your muscles work out. There are so many exercises you can do that you will probably never get bored. This machine is definitely great value for the money.
This is a great machine for women, older individuals, people rehabilitating from disease or accident. It is not a great machine for men who are already pressing lots of weight.
It is also less expensive than a gym membership, so if you think you can self-motivate to exercise in the privacy of your own home, this is the first piece of equipment I would recommend you buy. Next on the list would be a treadmill for cardio (or a stair stepper), followed by teaching yourself how to do stretches (free) and balancing exercises (also free - think yoga poses). There you have it, all you would need to keep healthy for life when you add in healthy diet and good sleep habits. (Oh, and of course, quit those bad habits, you all know what I am talking about.)
For set up, a socket wrench and vise grips make it quick and easy. My first recommendation is to measure the bolts, and place them on the page that indicates the parts list. Makes it easy to find which one you need when you need it. This is important, because some of those bolts are only 1/4 inch longer than the others, so it is easy to confuse them.
Set up is very easy if you take your time. It does help to have a willing partner, but set up can be completed by one person. Unpacking the box actually seemed to be the hardest part of set up.
There are 2 metal plugs with holes in them that come tied to the seat bar. There are no instructions for them. They fit into the holes that you use to bolt the seat rail to the upright part of the machine.
The instructions about the bolt that is used to keep the seat rail raised when not in use, or set into the seat rail when in use, are not clearly defined. When is use, the bolt with the large handle grip should be screwed into the seat rail, up close to the upright part of the machinery. When the machine is not in use, and you want to raise the seat rail to free up space in the room, the bolt goes into the hole on the right hand side of the plate where the machine swivels. You have to look to make sure you line up the two holes properly before inserting the hand grip bolt, but you will get the hang of it. The rail goes exactly upright, 180 degrees from the floor, not leaning in towards the upright parts. It is very important to put this bolt in place to avoid injuries to yourself, children, pets, visitors, your floor. The upright will stay up without the safety bolt, but it will also fall if jostled. And believe me, if it fell something or someone would get hurt. It is very heavy. Stay safe. Play safe.
I know the explanation above could be clearer if I knew the correct terms, but I did my best. Good luck. Better instructions than what came with the bowflex.
When lowering the seat rail, stand to the side, and be prepared for the weight. This is very important the first few times you lower it, as you will be surprised at how heavy it is. You want to control the machine, not the other way round.
One more small note, the exercise descriptions are wonderfully laid out, but if you are a non-exerciser, I suggest you look on the net for further descriptions of each exercise. It is really easy to misinterpret the pictures, and the explanations are somewhat lacking.
It's fairly easy to assemble and the construction is solid. Officially, you can do 30 exercises with this model, but there far more possibilities than those included in the manual. Butterflies and reverse wrist curl as an exemple.
The leg station could have used the extra parts needed for Lying Leg Curls, without them, the whole front of the machine serves only for leg extensions.
My only real problem with the machine so far is the resistance of the power rods. 210 lbs isn't enough for calf raises and leg presses. The 5 lbs power rods seem useless. They don't offer enough resistance to be worth the space they are taking on the machine. I know it's possible to replace the 5 lbs rods with a pair of 50 lbs, but in my opinion, an extra pair of 30 lbs rods should have come with the machine by default.
Quality Control - No inspection stickers or anything like that on the body that I could see.
Scratched up body, and the rods on one side are deformed from shipping. Rod hooks are facing every which direction instead of outwards.
Rods are plastic, not steel, feels very cheap, but otherwise the unit is solid and heavy. The seat locks in at either flat or 45 degree, can not lock-in near the base for a 90 degree workout with back support, but the bench can be laid flat and you can sit there without back support.
Manual shows rods attached to cables while straight, this is impossible, the rods have to be bent substantially just to connect.
Assembly tools not included, cheap flat cut-out Ikea style spanners should have been included.
Instructions assume you have 10' ceilings. If you purchase this and have "just enough" height, do yourself a favour and assemble it in a different order than in the instructions so you don't have issues trying to stand it up, which requires and additional foot or two on top of the height of the unit. As it is I can fit my pinky between the top bolts and the ceiling.
