The unit I have now is getting boring, and I'm not one for the gym.

 

Any thoughts, pros, cons on one or the other?

 

And how much space do they take up. Bowflex looks like it takes up a lot, but the website doesn't tell me specifics.

 

TIA folks.

USE BOTH! ARRRRRR!

 

one is endorsed by chuck norris ; if you do not support his product he will roundhouse kick you to the grave

I have a Total Gym and I love it but you need to be aware that you must: use it on carpet and have a long room as it is like 8 1/2 ft long when fully spread out. It is more valuable for the money, but if money is not an issue, than the Bowflex is the way to go.

Which one will hold more laundry on it?

Whatever happened to the old Nordic Trek, those were the first commercials I remember seeing. Now they're all outragous.

USE BOTH! ARRRRRR!

 

 

 

There is a girl at lifetime that I think is working towards looking like that. I thought she was a guy for the longest time.

dude, that is the girl from lifetime.

If that's the girl from lifetime, I've never seen her but that's even more sickning.

Bowflex takes up a s***load of space and really imo it's an awkward machine to use, just doesn't feel right for people that are used to using free weights but that's obviously just me. My recommendation would be the total gym, not that, that counts for anything.

haha ok, I didn't know, I never saw her and I know what steriods can do to women. I saw it on Channel 1 once, lol.

Eww....TMI.

 

Old ladies are hard to please I guess.

(Everyone at every gym he's ever worked out at:)

"....uhhhh.....dude?......how 'bout maybe some leg work today?......."

Eww....TMI.

Absolutely..

 

We have a Weider 7 station thing now. The cords have over time become loose and the butterfly thing doesn't work like it used to. I want something to work my legs differently. I've heard pros for both, but not enough either way to pull the trigger. The one advantage I have heard over and over again is that the Total is easy to open and close where the Bowflex pretty much has to stay open. That correct..?

 

The last resort will be to just join the new YMCA they are opening in Plainfield. The charter membership is a bit high.. but it includes sessions with a personal trainer which I would probably end up doing soon anyway.

Yup.

My step mom has tried both and preferred total gym. I've never used total gym, but I used a bowflex a few times and it just felt awkward compared to free weights.

I wonder if he has ever NOT used roids.

The total gym seems even more strange. At least the bowflex allows you to do normal excercises.

Hence the fact I've never done anything on it. I looked at and got all confused not knowing what the hell I was supposed to do on it.

 

She says it works good though so what do I know.

It looks like a giant python is crawling through his skin.

 

Just wait until he's older, and all that muscle turns into delicious flab.

I'm still waiting for somebody to hit Snopes on that picture.
