I've been thinking about getting one for a long time now but can't find

anybody who owns one. If you find out anything, please let me know!

Thanks Ann Marie! My boss and I have been discussing it for a long time but

he's beginning to think it's all hype. I'm not sure what his basis is for

that theory though. I'd appreciate hearing any info you find out (and you

too Monse!) :-)

That is one thing my boss said too - the Bowflex commercials/infomercials are

on *every* channel *all* the time! It's a lot of money to fork over for

something that's all hype! I also agree with you about the Ab Energizer

things. A guy I work with bought his wife one for her birthday. Bad move on

his part! LOL! He says it works, but I don't think they've had a chance to

use it enough to really know for sure.

Ann Marie,

Sorry, I can't tell you anything about the bowflex,

but I do have a soloflex. I like it a lot. My only

complaint with it is that it doesn't fold, and

therefore takes up a lot of room. I think from the

commercials the bowflex does fold. On the soloflex

you can work all muscle groups except for the inner

and outer thighs.

Thanks, for the insight on the Soloflex, Kerri. The Bowflex has an

attachment for squats, I wonder if that would work the inner/outer

thighs.

That's what I'm skeptical about too - all the hype. That's all I see

anymore is Bowflex commercials and infomercials with all the hard-

bodies in them - makes me wonder. Oh and those goofy ab-energizer

belts (those drive me CRAZY!!!!)

Yeah, and they say in-home trial - I'd sure hate to have to send that

thing back!!!! I think the original s/h is $129 - you'd be out close

to $300 for trying the thing, if you ended up not liking it.

Ann Marie - who LOL at 's co-worker's Ab Energizer story ;-)

I know what you mean. Bowflex is every where, it's

basically taking over. I know that it often runs on

CNBC and Court TV at the same time. They had a story

(I think NBC Nightly News) the other week on the

belts. Some people complained that they burned them.

Also, they said that you have to have something there

to begin with, in order to get that magical 6 pack.
