Bowflex Home Gym Revolution Review: Convenient Equipment for Your Home Workout

Image used with permission by copyright holder

Health and fitness are undeniably important. Many men carry out dedicated efforts to maintain a consistent exercise regimen. It can, however, often feel like an ongoing chore. Joining a gym sounds good enough — until you consider the tedious process it entails. After you change clothes, you must drive to the location, check in, and put your things in a locker. Hopefully you have a trainer, or a plan. Otherwise you end up wandering the floor, waiting for equipment to become available. Once you finish actually working out, you need to shower, change, and finally drive home. Your time is just as valuable as your wellness, is it not? There’s an obvious answer.

From weighted and resistance movements, to push-pull exercises. Check out the groundbreaking features of this scientifically designed equipment that you can enjoy in your own home.

Bowflex Home Gym Revolution Features

The first feature that sets the Bowflex Revolution apart is the vast amount of exercises it was built to sustain. To be more specific, over 100 exercises with 400-plus alterations. You can target every major body zone, with sets to support all kinds of athletic capabilities. No matter your workout routine, or goals, a tailor-made regimen is yours for the making. Beginners will appreciate the easily adjusted weighted systems, while more practiced athletes have the opportunity to explore new methods and disciplines. The added convenience of keeping such a system at home means you can work out as often as you need to with all the range you could desire. If you want to build your Bowflex system even further, there are additions available that include mats, plate upgrades, grips, and more.

Next, any man will be able to appreciate the scientific development put behind each bar and bolt. The Bowflex Revolution supports a patented mechanical breakthrough called Spiraflex. The result of a NASA-commissioned study, this format utilizes plate technology that works independent of gravity. The process involves the focus of maintaining resistance without inertia. This means it can essentially duplicate the benefits of traditional weights in a safer, lighter, more portable package. The unique shaping and construction adds longevity to your equipment, by a difference of ten times the life of steel springs in similar mechanical structures. Should you need to replace a component for any reason, the Revolution comes with a 10-year warranty.

Now, for the heavy hitters looking to push their limits, Bowflex is ready to meet any challenge. For example, the Freedom Arms system is capable of 170-degree adjustments, in 10 different positions. You should never skip leg day, and the Leg Press Station has it covered, as it can work up to 600 pounds of resistance. For the uninitiated, it is worth noting — that is pretty unheard of in a home gym. Another attachment is the Preacher Curl. It allows you to rest your elbows while implementing an underhand grip. Simply grasp the inner handles of the ab/leg attachment. The Bowflex Revolution comes with a vertical bench press and leg extensions as well. The sleek black and gray aesthetic is an added bonus.

Should You Buy It?

Yes. No two men are built the same, so why should any two exercise routines be built the same? When you invest in a Bowflex Revolution Home Gym, you are not just buying a hunk of equipment. You’re providing yourself a ticket to convenient, effective fitness in the comfort of your own home. Workouts don’t have to be mundane, disruptive, or tedious. Scientifically proven to operate with greater efficiency than your local gym assortment, the quality of movement maintained on this feat of engineering is unmatched. Don’t exert effort on regimens that are limited and unnecessary. It’s about time for you to embrace the kind of workout your body deserves.

NOBULL debuts new colorways for daily running shoe, Journey 2
Four new colorways just dropped for NOBULL's best-selling Journey 2 sneaker
NOBULL

NOBULL's Journey 2 sneaker is one of my favorite go-to sneakers for the gym (and my husband's, too). There's really something to be said about a sneaker that adds comfort, style, and durability to your gym outfit. I've been wearing these weekly for awhile now -- but now NOBULL has dropped even more fun colors in the same comfortable show. Just in time for the summer, NOBULL just dropped four new colorways in the Journey 2, including Classic White Cayenne, Classic White Signal Pink, Lunar Mineral White, and Blue Haze. These fun, vibrant colors add a touch of color to every gym outfit.

With a plate-less design, Journey 2 delivers a naturally smooth, cushioned ride. A multi-surface outsole provides reliable grip across varied terrain, while NOBULL’s unique stability chassis keeps your foot locked in through every stride and transition, so you can move freely wherever the miles take you. While I'm not usually one to make a statement with my athletic footwear, I have to admit I'm pretty excited about the drop of these new colors. The four new colors join the line up that still includes the classic colors, such as Classic White, Jet Black, and Molten.

People, Person, Clothing

I have always been a guy who likes to get into the zone when I go to the gym. Headphones in, hood up, and if I could close my eyes, I would. There is something about music that makes it the perfect workout companion. It touches the heart of your motivation and gets you pumped to pump. No matter what kind of music you like when you are doing other things, when you are working out, most of us love a good beat. That is why it seems like a perfect marriage between Burn Boot Camp and legendary American DJ, Marshmello.

The brand announced global music producer and artist Marshmello as Equity Partner, Franchise Partner, and Executive Partner for Creative & Music, meaning your favorite workout is about to get a new sound, exclusive to the workouts. The artist joins another massive name in entertainment, Kevin Hart, as partners with Burn Boot Camp, propelling it into one of the biggest workout brands on the market.

Generational fitness: A father’s story for passing health to his children
David and Shaya Charvet talk fitness and working together as father and son
Adult, Female, Person

Father's Day is a holiday that is sometimes overlooked, sometimes celebrated, and sometimes divisive. There are those of us who have great relationships with our fathers, there are some who have strained relationships with our fathers, and then there are many of us who are in between. I was lucky enough to have the perfect father, split between three different men. My biological father taught me how to fail. Mostly, he taught me what not to be as a father by failing hard and often. There are lessons there. My step-father was the provider and the disciplinarian, something I didn't openly acknowledge even to myself until later in life. And my grandfather was the hero, the man I always looked up to and wanted to be. All three were vital to my upbringing and teaching me how to be a man, and some people have them in one person. Shaya Charvet grew up with a father who was first a rising star in Hollywood, who then stepped away at the height of his career to be a present father. He decided to be all three of the men I listed, and then taught lessons through fitness. David Charvet and his son have launched BUILD, a new kind of gym with a focus on all the things you would want out of staying in shape, with the background of a father and son learning together.

My dad brought me to the gym from a very young age. They always told me if you can take care of your body and be disciplined there, you can be disciplined in all other parts of life. - Shaya Charvet, Co-Founder BUILD
