If you've seen those Bowflex infomercials on TV our probably asked yourself "Does the Bowflex really build muscle"? As with any home gym investment, you need to do some independent research before making a decision.

As an owner of the Bowflex Revolution I can attest that building muscle is not a problem. However, there are a couple of unique differences with this home gym. First of all, the Revolution uses Spiraflex technology, which basically provides the same feel and results of a cable machine.

The advantage is that you can better isolate muscle groups as compared to free weights. This is perfect for individuals who are looking to shape up for the summer and get cut and conditioned.

The disadvantage is you do not engage your stabilizer muscles like you would with free weights. For this reason, I find traditional weights to be better for building core strength. Of course, the best solution would be to use both.

If your goal were to get conditioned and gain a modest amount of muscle at home than a Revolution would be fine. If your really serious about bodybuilding or you were a serious power lifter than a gym pass would be the way to go. The Revolution maxes out at 280lbs. For most of us, that's plenty of weight to challenge us for years to come.

For best results, I advocate using your Revolution at least 3x week for a half hour. Just to set the record straight, you have to commit to your program and stay focused if you want see lasting results. At $2,000 it's certainly not a cheap investment. All too often people start a program only to quit after the first few weeks.
