Amazon.com Product Description
Get serious about your strength training at home with the Bowflex Xceed home gym, which includes a lat tower, squat station, leg attachment and adjustable pulley system for over 65 gym-quality exercises. It comes standard with 310 pounds of real Power Rod resistance. The integrated lat tower with angled lat bar helps to build back and shoulder muscles quickly. The upper and lower pulley/squat station enables you to do squats and build your gluts, hamstrings and quads. The Xceed also has multiple cable/pulley positions for custom workouts.

With the included abs attachment, you'll be able to perform ab crunch exercises like in the gym. Advanced engineering allows you to get great results fast by specifically targeting abdominal and core muscles, and it also works great for lower back extension exercises. A locking mechanism allows easy in, easy out access, and a foam chest pad provides large, comfortable area to push on.

The leg extension/leg curl attachment rivals specialized leg equipment found in gyms, and will help you develop strong, muscular legs. Efficient and easy to use, the leg attachment connects easily, and can be removed in seconds for using the squat station.

The Xceed Plus 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.

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.

Customer Reviews

Big Disappointment
I have had this product about a week and I am very disappointed. This is a well built product, but it is an erector set gadget. It requires patch cables, and clips, and straps, and hand grips, and you have to keep up with and deal with all this stuff. The constant process of switching cables and reconfiguring the machine is a big waste of time, and a real irritation. The ab attachment is not useful given it will only use the rods on one side, so there is minimal resistance. The included lumbar pad is designed for the Xtreme model and won't stay in position on the back rest on the Xceed, it just keeps sliding off. If you look at the pictures of the ab unit you will see it is not on an Xceed, but rather Xtreme. Plus you have to go through a 2 minute process to remove the seat assembly and replace it with this clunky ab unit each time you want to use it. Save yourself the trouble, if you want a Bowflex with this space saving design go buy the Xtreme 2 that does not require the constant cable changes. I have seen the Xtreme 2 on sale for $100 more than the Xceed, and for $100 more you can add the 100 pounds of resistance. It also comes with ab shoulder straps that allow you to use all the power rods while doing crunches. The extra $200 will save you hours of frustration.

Great Home Gym!
I recently put together the bowflex xceed and it took me about 3 hours but I was taking my time so I'm sure you can do it faster if you want to. I must say this is the best value buy there is. With all the stuff that this gym comes with you can't beat it. 310 lbs when most come with 210 which is 99.99 for the upgrade, an ab attachment that is 199.99 on the bowflex website, a lumbar pad which is 25 and the leg extention is 200.00 even tho most do come with the leg extention. Thus for 899 you can't beat it, the bottom of the line bowflex blaze is 899 now and only have 210lbs, and a leg extension.

As for the machine I love it so far. So quiet and so far it actually does work. I must say the resistance of 310 pounds is definitley not enough for me but I've been going to the gym for years and could usually max out at about 255 lbs on the bench press and I can pretty easily do the 310 lbs so with another upgrade to 410lbs I hope I'm good. Most other excercises tho the weight works just fine especially since your supposed to do the excercises slow and fight the resistance.

Switching the powerrods and pulleys to go from excercise to excercise is a little cumbersome but overall its not that big of a deal. In my opinion this is the best homegym out there because it is so versatile and can offer so many excerises. By far the Xceed is the BEST Deal out there.

Great machine
this bowlfex xceed is a pretty good machine. i got it for $999 but i did see it on amazon for around $600-700 before. this is basically a bowflex xtreme that has an added 100 lbs and comes with a gym like ab cruch. if you check on amazon for a bowlfex xtreme you would find it cost the same price as this xceed and only having 210lbs. the extras you get with the xceed cost over $300 so if you want to buy an xtreme for $999 and pay $300 more for the extras then go order the xtreme. if not then buy this which comes with the extras and save $300
