Just wondering if anyone has one of these.. i was thinking of picking one up.. i need something i can max out on without a spotter and its cheaper than a bowflex..

It's a good alternative to the bowflex... And works well just make sure to always store the rods in the upright position and be ready for a fairly long installation :D. Definitely best bang for the buck.

There is also the Schwinn knockoff at sport chek. I don't know how much it is, but take a look.

i wanted to get one.. but my parents made a good point..

they says that i will use it for like 1 or 2 months.. then it will just sit in the basement... at the gym seein other people work out kinda motivates u to work out more..

they're kinda right... haha

:werd:

It is convenient to have it right in the home.

Sears is the only place that sells the weider. Sport chek sells the schwinn knock off.

And it isn't a bad product it works quite well, I'd say bout the same as a bowflex. Only problem with it that it comes in a million pieces and takes a long time to assemble it.

I am talking about the new Crossbow. Sorry. The one with no weights, only pulleys.

working out at home only sucks if you do it by yourself. Have a friend come over and train together.
