Summary: great machine, great program... but forget the ab crunch addition
Comment: Awesome machine and program. Despite all the critical things I've heard about it, this thing WORKS! Used a lot of different equipment and programs over the years, and the one key to all of them is, you have to do it! Started following the leanness program, yes including the 1500 cal/day eating plan, and lost 12 pounds in two weeks and fifteen pounds in three weeks. Following it pretty closely, doiung some substitions but following the guidelines for the meals, using some south beach snack bars... love it! Improved strenght, vitality, down a full pant size (was wearing 40's, down to a 38...), yada yada. This program woirks! People keep complaining about the cables... it's less cumbersome than switching weights, that's for sure! Only reason I didn't give five stars is the ab machine, works great but only hooks on one side so I don't get encough resistance. Oh well... I do SLOW situps instead. Other issue woudl be the rating of the resistance... that can't really be 310 pounds. SO, renumber the rods already and give a more accurate reading... but I don't actually care how much weight I'm pushing anyway. Not buying a #300 press sweatshirt any time soon LOL I'm kinda too old for that... all in all, I'm totally satisfied. great product, great price... best deal for fitness!

Summary: Excellent exercise machine if you learn how to use it
Comment: We've had a Bowflex Xceed for 6 months and my wife and I do every other day workouts. A lot of machine on a small footprint. The key to using the Xceed is to take the manual, figure out the basic exercises you want by muscle groups, then translate that into an exercise sequence on the machine so you make the fewest equipment changes between exercises. That way you focus on the exercises and not switching cables and handles. We have 9 basic exercises we do every time starting at the top part of the machine (pull downs) then mid (bench press, trunk rotation, abd. crunch--using hand grips, crossover rows)and finally the lower cables (biceps curl, standing lower back extension, leg extension.) The Ab attachment took too much time to setup and use during our workouts. We use the bench press cable setup to do simple crunches. We've seen steady improvement in our strength, energy and fitness. It was a great purchase for us.

Summary: Bowflex
Comment: I got this as a gift for my husband and he loves it. It's made such a difference in our lives. The only complaint is that 310lbs of resistance doesn't really feel like 310 lbs, but it still seems to get the job done.

Summary: Get in shape fast & easy!!
Comment: My husband bought the same Xceed Plus model at Costco in Kona, Hawaii for the same price earlier this year. He wanted a Bowflex for years, which I always discouraged because I was very skeptical. Thanks to him making the decision to buy this model, I now understand that it really works! We are so thrilled with the fast & easy results of weight loss and muscle gain. He lost 60 lbs and I lost 40 lbs by healthy eating habits and using this Bowflex every other day for 4 months. We're retired baby-boomers and love this Bowflex model (there are many to choose from). We are so thrilled and impressed by following the weight loss recommended program of 8-10 exercises with one set of 12 reps every other day, that we purchased the same model Xceed Plus (no longer available at Costco) which we luckilly found on Amazon.com; this same one for our son and daughter-in-law. The exercises are easy and not "grunt work" like using universal or free weights. This model comes with an Ab attachment and Leg flexor attachment, which gets results after continued use. Another advantage of this model is that the weight may be easily increased, if you want to purchase the added rods later. If you've ever wanted a Bowflex, this model is highly recommended. It has everything and you can't beat the price. It takes up approximately 7 x 6 ft area. You'll need to put it together--which took my husband an afternoon to do. Changing the weights on the rods takes a little getting used to, but don't be discouraged, you'll quickly get used to it. Also, the instruction book lacks good instruction for knob placement. Follow a program of your choice in the booklet and record the weight & knob placements for each exercise. This makes it simple to keep track of your progress and do the same exercises, in the same way, every other day.

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. | The Xceed 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.

Manufacturer's Warranty
7-year limited warranty on materials and workmanship 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.
