Bowflex SelectTech 2080 Barbell with Curl Bar vs Bowflex Treadmill 22

[Music] [applause] Okay, so what Bowflex has done is they've taken their very popular Selecttech technology that they use in their adjustable dumbbell...

I love my 26, also love my 22. I use the same slow n sear in both. The 26 keeps good temp just like my 22. I can do two full racks of spares on the 26 plus a third if i want to use the elevated grate

I've been complaining about rust on my black oxide vulcan curl bar but I totally get the advantage of black oxide now - it is far grippier and feels a lot like bare steel. Combined with a more aggressive knurl the vulcan bar feels a lot better to use but oiling it once a week still isn't stopping rust coming through in the cambered areas. I'm soaking the Vulcan bar in WD-40 now per their instructions so hopefully that will stave off the rust for a while (though it hasn't before, so I'm not that hopeful).

That's 20 right there. At three miles an hour so for the incline, it's really good for uh burning a lot of calories. If you want to burn a lot of calo...

My job requires me to keep a standard of fitness to perform my duties, and I am almost 60 years old. So to keep up with all the young guys, I need to put in a little more work at home to keep fit. Bowflex helps with that a lot. If you want to get in shape, Bowflex will have the equipment you need

This is all included in the journey app, which is actually really nice, so you just find something that you like, so, for instance, if i wanted to uh ...

Pros: - Both curl and straight bars provided - 80lbs total weight with option to upgrade to 120lb - Compact size for the weight range available - All tools and parts provided with clear instructions for installation Cons: - Plastic tabs to hold the plates together - definitely concerned with durability considering they tried this with their dumbbells and had to go back to the metal tabs - Adjusting the weight cradles for the final step was time consuming and frustrating (if not adjusted correctly, weights don’t lock or unlock easily when placing or removing the bar) - Stand is an upgrade for $200 but I feel should be included as standard in the current package Overall works well and is great for a home gym. My only concern is the durability of the plastic tabs that lock the plates against each other. With 80-120lb and regular usage not sure how long these will hold up. Overall installation took me about 45min with clean-up and unboxing

I would avoid purchasing if I were you…if it doesn’t work it will be collecting dust for months while you wait for the $3k you spend on a hunk of junk to be returned.

I'll continue battling through it until I feel I've gotten my grand back. Then I'm driving over the nearest bridge and tossing the entire system, stand and all.

On hold for over an hour and then disconnected. Call back several hours later. On hold for over an hour, disconnected. Maybe it's me? Call back the next day, finally get to someone after 1hr and 15 minutes
