Boxflex's PRO's....

1. This is a good machine for the people who are not very familar with working out because like any machine it keeps your form good and there is less of a chance to cause injuries. They also have a trial period.

2. It tells you how to use the machine on a DVD. It's very imformative, unlike freeweights that don't come with any instructions and could take a long time to fully understand how to use them correctly.

3. You can adjust to many different weights very easily and do a lot of different exercises on just one machine.

4. It comes with 220lbs of resistance, so if you are the average person that would be enough weight to workout with.

5. You can make payments which makes it affordable to buyers everywhere.

Bowflex CON's......

1. If you are too big it will not support either what you lift or your size but that's more the exception than the rule.

2. This machine is good for mantaining your physique, getting heart rate up, shedding unwanted pounds, but not for getting huge.
