I have one and even though I don't have the biggest opinion on workout mechanism's yet, I do believe that this is one of the greatest in the world for at-home workouts as a whole
My hvt is ready and set up but what you need to know is this is for explosive movement so basically If you want to feel that resistance you got to go fast
What would you recommend? HVT or a functional trainer. I have a bow flex max and a half rack. Need best bang for my buck and space. I was looking at the compact Rep Fitness functional trainer. Thanks, Alex
[I also posted this on your blog but maybe someone here has an idea...] Hi! Thanks for this report! I found a lightly used one of these and have been enjoying it for almost a year. But I ran into a glitch that maybe you have also experienced and hopefully easily resolved! I didn't use it for a month and now the resistance settings are very different. They used to change smoothly as I changed the number settings. Now they jump hugely in resistance and are maybe even changing their resistance between uses. Like 6 and 7 change normally then 8 will be very hard. I haven't totally pinpointed what is happening, only that it is messed up now. Is there some maintenance I should do? I glanced at their website and material and don't see anything. I will call their 800# tech supp soon. Thanks if you have an idea about this!
I purchased a max trainer to start to lose the dad bod and trim up a bit but I am now shopping for another piece for muscle building (not necessarily bulk gains/more lean muscle) . Do you think the HVT would complement the MT or would you suggest something more like the BF Xtreme SE , Revolution, bench/dumb bell, etc..? Also, you mentioned that strength can be gained with the HVT, but what would be the "final product" expected from this?
I appreciate your review bit there are soo many Bowflex products that end up on classifieds by the hundreds. I owned a few bowflex products and there build quality is bad. But their marketing is brilliant. I own a lot of home gym equipment such as hoist, powerblock and Ironmaster and the quality is top notch and retains thier resell value unlike bowflex products. Hopefully this bowflex product is different.
Bro honestly I was about to talk trash by saying you ain't did nothing but pass gas lol until I seen you lifting the heavy weights. Then I was like nevermind 🤣🤣🤣
a lesson in momentum ... how to throw the weights. Look up super-slow and HIT (Arthur Jones) (not HIIT) and learn that going slow is harder, and the harder it is, the more it builds muscle. You're supposed to be building strength not demonstrating your skill in throwing weights around
So Correct about slow movement with negative resistance. Depending on what you are trying to accomplish. I own the HVT and use it for Cardio based workouts with resistance. When I want to work out for building just muscle I use my Free weights and Bowflex.
@@ryanmartin421 Thank you for weighing in on this. I was thinking about replacing my Bowflex with one of these, but I think I'll just stick with what I've got. I've got other options for cardio. If space were not a limiting factor, I'd probably give this a shot (there's one for sale locally.)

Would love a check in 1 year later on how you stand with it! I’m considering snagging one near me for $300.
@@Tingley19 A positive opinion still stands!
I'd consider it.
Old coop is simply iconic. The baby face before the mustache.

I thought the bowlfed max trainer was hard man this thing kicks my ass Everytime best home equipment I've ever own !!!!
so glad you reviewed this!
Glad it's helpful!
Hook the bottom to handles to a spud belt and you have your belt squat. Turn up the resistance or use it to replicate speed squats
That's a great idea!
CoopTrains got the idea from one of the mark bell videos where he's at the Sacramento kings
I'll have to look for that one!
You should review the Revolution. I got it for 8 years now, still going strong!
Why don't they add something that can generate electricity on these things. It's not exactly new either.
That would be a pretty cool additional feature.
The amount of energy generated would be so worthless ruclips.net/video/S4O5voOCqAQ/видео.html
You're foot placement went off of it a few times, they should have extended it further. Don't think this would work for anyone that's 6'4.

Thanks,

Bowlfex revolution is the best piece they ever made. It's basically a better barbell. Positive only resistance is inferior.
They are selling me one for $300. Are these worth it? I was going to buy the ftx costco functional trainer

I'd suggest a bench and dumbbell set most likely.
How durable do you think this machine will be long term?
I think it will last a good amount of time. It's made pretty well from what I've seen.
Coop have you used the Nordictrack Fusion CST? I am looking at both any advice would be great. Thanks.
Scott curious which one you went with? I am looking at both as well and can't decide.
Perfect review 🦋
Is it fair to say that the "feel" of this apparatus is similar to a fanwheel resistance like the c2 rower or an airbike?
Worth $200 used?
Looking at one right now... Did you snag one at $200?
@BrettWyrick No, I passed. Did you get one?
The humble beginnings!
This plus the revolution seems like all one would need.
Can you use it for some bodybuilding movements?

Yeah, I can understand where you're coming from. I've used some of the cheaper Bowflex's and this one is pretty premium in comparison.
Silly. Bowflex revolution is by far the best piece of equipment they ever made. This positive only resistance is inferior.
What song is playing in background?
It's called Shazam Bro.
no negative resistance though

i saw you squat a million lbs, you should sell some of these items to pay for your hip and back surgeries
Don’t ever shave the stache again.
This dude looks like none of the equipment is working for him.
You need to eat a baked turkey every day for protein. You have the body of a preteen. Coop doesn’t have any muscle tone
Casey C, share a pic with us of that ripped body of yours, come on, don’t be so modest dick head .
