Bodylastics vs Bowflex

The Bodylastics system is designed as a cheaper alternative to Bowflex and other popular exercise machines. While Bowflex consists of several machines that work specific muscle groups, Bodylastics combines all these functions in a small, convenient package. But besides being cheap and lightweight, Bodylastics has several other advantages, and may even be more effective than Bowflex. Here are some comparisons between the two systems.

Bodylastics vs Bowflex Motivator

The Bowflex Motivator creates resistance from its signature Power Rod system and offers about 55 different exercises. To do a lat pulldown, triceps pushdown, or leg curls, you need an extra attachment or get the more advanced Motivator ® XTL. With Bodylastics, you get about 140 exercises with variable resistance levels. There's no need for attachments - everything you need is in the package.

Bodylastics vs Bowflex Selecttech

Bowflex's adjustable dumbbell system uses lockable weight plates and allows up to 15 resistance levels. While it's better than other weight training machines, Bodylastics offers more versatility and convenience. The Max Resistance package has up tp 31 resistance levels, or the equivalent of a set of 5-lb to 65-lb dumbbells. The Quick Clip System allows you to adjust tension within seconds, whereas the Selecttech requires you to lock, unlock, and reposition the heavy plates every time.

Bodylastics vs Bowflex Sport

The Bowflex Sport is a single home gym system combining a lat pull, rowing machine, and weight trainer in one machine. It's certainly smaller than other models, but it still requires floor space. You can't pack the Bowflex Sport into your luggage. The Bodylastics system weighs under two pounds and even comes with a travel bag, so it's like having a portable gym.

Bodylastics vs Bowflex Treadclimber

The TreadClimber® promises a low-impact, high-calorie burning workout equivalent to walking and running. But basically, all it's good for is cardio - an incomplete and often boring routine. Bodylastics offers circuit training, combining cardio moves with toning exercises every 30 seconds for a more complete workout.

Bodylastics vs Bowflex Xtreme

The Bowflex Xtreme and its upgrade, Xtreme2, come with lat and leg attachments that expand your options up to 75 exercises. But that's still barely half of what Bodylastics has to offer - 140 exercises, up to 31 resistance levels, and easy, quick adjustment. The Bodylastics package also comes with a 90-day subscription to the Strength Band University, where you get free video instructions to help you get started.

Bodylastics vs Bowflex Ultimate

Although more versatile than the other Bowflex machines, the Bowflex Ultimate is far from being the ultimate home gym system. Its major functions include lat tower and leg curl/leg pull attachments, and a squat attachment for a more intense workout. This makes it extremely bulky and high-maintenance. The Bodylastics system offers much more, at a much lower price and a more convenient package. The unique elastic tubing used in Bodylastics makes it light, smooth, and durable, so you can be sure it won't loosen even with daily use.
