 Really great productJul 29, 2008
Hey, I am here to let you know this is an excellent product. Background: I am terrible assembling things and have no interest in working out on something complicated. So here's the good news. Even I was able to assemble this thing myself in about three hours. I have never seen directions for something un-assembled as clear and easy to follow as this. PLUS, there's a DVD that shows every step in case you get stuck (which only happened to me once). My finished product used every part and was sturdy and sound.
Now, like another reviewer on here I bought this at Sports Authority in May for $999. They had it set up right next to a Bowflex Motivator. So I will explain what I saw which I hope helps (really, you should visit a store too and see this for yourself as words don't do it justice): The Bioforce whoops the bowflex up and down in all the areas that mattered to me. That is, spacewise the Bioforce is smaller and also looks a lot more presentable. Resistance wise, the bioforce really is smooth and the bowflex, well not as much. Finally, changing around difference exercises/weight was a breeze on Bioforce, and quite less so on the bowflex. About the only thing the Bowflex has better (perhaps) is more exercises. As a specific example the Bioforce bench does not lay flat so there is no traditional "bench press."
With that said the Bioforce has many exercises including a sitting chess press and a ton of others. For someone like me who wants to work out and doesn't need a ton of different wacky exercises, the Bioforce absolutely covers the basics AND many advanced exercises. There's no aerobic "rowing" type thing, but I have a separate bike for that. Changing weight (resistance) is so, so easy, just turn the knob to what you want.
Final note is this, one of my cables was "catching" out of the box. I contacted customer service and they zipped me a replacement FAST. So, I can advise if you need support my experience with them was very positive.
Overall this is a great product for the average user. I can't speak for so called power users but there are so many exercises and the resistance even at 25-45 seems to me to be a plenty, so I think one would have to be a workout fanatic to exceed this machine's capabilities. If you want a quality home workout that is easy to use, this machine is what you need.

Bioforce ROCKS!!May 23, 2008
This product really surprised me. I'm completely happy with this home gym set. I looked around for about a month with Bowflex, Total Gym, Weider and a few others. I chose this one after testing it at Sports Authority.
Before I go any further, here's my background for those wondering my level. I've been working out for the last 20 years. I'm a more advanced or serious lifter. How serious? Use to work out almost everyday (record was 22 days straight) for over 2 hours a day taking supplements, protein bars, shakes, etc... Average then was about 5-6 days a week, 2 hours non-stop (without talking to anyone!!). You know who you are people. Some of you talk more than u work out. Dont get me started with those on cell phones at the gym... Anyhow, now it's about 3-4 days a week since I picked up some other sports.
PROS:
-Positive and negative resistance
-Smooth and does not stick, not as good as free weights though
-Constant resistance (Bowflex starts low, then increases as band is bent more)
-Very easy weight changes, slide and lock, average 2-5 secs per side
-Solid, heavy duty parts all around (I even do pullups on it)
-Looks good and welds are clean. Good workmanship.
-Complete upper torso, arm and lower leg workout
-Instant changes from 10 - 110 lbs per side. (i bench 290 on free weight and I do about 10 reps on 110 lbs.) weight should be plenty for most
-mobility, can be moved by leaning whole gym and wheeled across room
-extensive DVD and exercise book to get beginners going
-comes with a good handles and leg straps (mostly for women)
CONS:
-Would have liked an adjustable tilt bench, it does have 2 height adjustments for short/tall person, but no angle adjustment for incline/decline
I dont think I could have designed a better home gym set for under $1k. It's solid, super quick in changing resistance, pleasing to the eyes, and can be moved easily. For those thinking about Bowflex with the bands, consider the time it takes to change weights by finding the correct band, then hooking them up, on BOTH sides. Also, the Bowflex resistance didn't feel natural because it started light then got heavier as the bands bent more. Bowflex is a solid machine but those 2 factors was unacceptable to me.
That's my personal opinion. If you need more, try a internet search on "bioforce infomercial review". There should many other positive reviews on it from beginners to serious lifters like me.

 Bowflex is good .... Bioforce is BETTER!Mar 12, 2008
I've owned many types of gym equipment in the past , including free weights , multi-station gyms , and various Bowflex models (namely the Power Pro and the Sport). They can all be effective . I liked the Bowflex , and for some , they would suit most people's needs. It wasn't until I tried the Bio Force TNT out at my local sporting goods store that I came to the realization that this machine is superior.
The resistance changes are effortless and extremely quick , one can do a ton of exercises on it , and the resistance is constant throughout the range of motion . It took me 2 1/2 hours to assemble , but it was well worth it , and I rather enjoy projects like this.
I heard from a representative that the pistons have been tested through 150,000 strokes. That should last me about 12 years if they decide to fail at that point. They're about $66 bucks for a pair plus shipping , so not too bad if they ever need changed.
This thing is smooth , built solidly with excellent hardware , and designed to last . Excellent product. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars was the lack of a bar for doing squats. I improvised and bought a 9 lb rubber coated Troy bar and place the foot straps over each end. It works like a charm.
