Bowflex, America's favorite home fitness equipment manufacturer, has helped millions of people achieve their desired health and fitness goals. The leading edge Bowflex line of home exercise equipment offers gym-quality workouts in your own home, helping you to lose weight, get in better shape or completely transform your body.

In this article we’ll focus on the Bowflex SelectTech Dumbells and the Bowflex line of Treadclimbers  -- two best-selling Bowlex products -- and for good reason.

The Bowflex SelectTech Dumbbells exemplify one of the most progressive and versatile fitness equipment advances in recent years. You no longer need a rack with multiple dumbbells at various weights. The SelectTech series effectively replaces 17 sets of dumbbells using a patented dial system that allows you to quickly modify the weight in 2.5 lb, 5 lb or 10 lb increments, depending on the model. The whole system sits on one compact base that takes up about the space of one set of dumbbells.

Bowflex offers the SelectTech Dumbbells in three models – the SelectTech 220, SelectTech 552 (the most popular) and SelectTech 1090.

Available in four primary models, the Bowflex Treadclimber provides an option for every fitness level and budget. They include the TC1000, TC3000, TC5000, and TC6000. Owning a Bowflex TreadClimber is like having a treadmill, elliptical trainer, and Stairmaster all in one compact home exercise solution. The machine's distinct combination of movements, using two independently operating platforms, is efficient and highly effective.

The most affordable option, the TC1000 features a 3.8 mph (6.1 kph) maximum walking speed, while the high end TC 6000 runs at a top speed of4.5 mph (7.2 kph). The TC3000 and TC5000 each max out at 4.0 mph (6.4 kph).

There are numerous other important differentiating factors among the individual Bowflex Treadclimber models. Starting with the TC1000, each model includes 3 basic functions -- Speed, Distance and Time. The TC3000 also gives you Calories per Minute, Total Calories and Total Steps. The TC5000 then adds two additional functions -- the Climb Indicator and the Heart Rate Monitor. Finally, the high end TC6000 incorporates all of the above plus special training programs, including Cross Training, Intervals, Plateau, The Brooklyn Bridge and The Golden Gate Bridge. The Heart Rate Monitor on the TC5000 and TC 6000 lets you accurately monitor optimal heart rate levels using an integrated display and wireless chest strap.

We’ve examined two popular Bowflex pieces of equipment produced for very specific types of exercise. The Bowflex prestige is also seen in their line of complete home gyms. These include the Bowflex Revolution, Bowflex Ultimate, Bowflex Ultimate 2, Bowflex Xtreme SE, Bowflex Xtreme SE 2 and Bowflex Blaze.

Bowflex has become the most recognizable name in fitness. They continue to innovate and produce home exercise options that will keep you motivated and on the path to realizing your fitness goals.
