Bowflex SelectTech 2080 Barbell with Curl Bar vs GoFit Pro Stability Ball

[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'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).

I do like the foot pump um, versus the hand pump because it's uh, just super easy. I like too that this one comes with the prong so that if you want t...

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

I did not blow up the ball at all. I did return the ball at Dicks and purchased the Fitness Gear (green 55cm) that was in store at Dicks, and I am extremely pleased with the Fitness Gear ball, it was easy to inflate even with just the hand pump - which is probably for safety - and I am very very pleased with my new purchase. It also cost less than the go fit and that is great! Hope this was helpful to someone out there. Don't be afraid of the hand pump, it's really not a big deal, and it's easy to use and store

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 literally spent the better part of 2 hours trying to inflate this thing. Granted, I'm not the world champion cardio kick box instructor, but I am a 230 pound Marine in fairly good shape. I concur with other's reviews in that it takes way too long than it should to pump this ball up to its operating level
