Bowflex Conquest Home Gym Review
The Conquest is a good gym for those who need to save space, but still want to have a large number of exercises to chose from. The Conquest has a small footprint and can be folded up for storage. This machine can fit in the corner of your home, garage, or even small apartment or condo
One of the major selling features of the Bowflex is the large number of exercise options you get with this machine. It offers more than 65 exercises for both upper and lower body.
To vary the resistance the Conquest, you can hook one, two, three, four or all of your Power Rod units to the cable pulley system and go from as little as 5 pounds all the way up to 210 pounds of resistance. The resistance is smooth and strong on both negative and positive motions.
For those people who are unfamiliar with the Bowflex Power Rods, you should be aware that eventually these will need to be replaced. After a while, they lose their resistance. Bowflex provides free replacements and they get high ratings for their customer service.
This is a good option for the price. However, more experienced lifters will be disappointed in the weight limit and may want to look at the PR3000 or The Xtreme 2SE.

Real Opinions and Comments About the Bowflex Conquest
The "No Change Pulley System" is a joy to use. No having to switch cables to work out. You do need to plan your workouts to keep from switching attachments, but with the right planning, it is very easy to get a workout with minimal adjustment/change time between exercises. It is quicker than a free weight system, unless you have free run of a gym with each station set up for each particular exercise, set with your particular weights. The resistance bars are easy to change and quick to adjust." - Partial review from Amazon.com.
