Home Gym System: weights vs. bowflex type resistance?
I’m about to get a home gym, but have never used a bowflex type system. Bowflex’s system looks like it might be kind of an awkward way to work out.

What’s the best equipment for a home gym?
It would have to be somethings that myself and family can use (6’3-210 lb boys in family). We have treadmill, what else?
If you have a home gym do you use it enough to pay for itself?
Thanks!!!
anyone familiar with the max-ot training program able to reccommend a home gym system that can perform most if not every excercise in the max-ot program.

looking to buy a home gym, Bowflex shakes too much. Bioforce looks good want to get some feedback.
I want a home gym and the two I like are between a bowflex and the platinum by weider. I know of the bowflex but would like your opinions on weider home gyms, since it is $1000 less. Thanks.
I’m hoping you can help resolve a disagreement I’ve been having with some people at the gym. Because of work pressures I plan to cancel my gym membership and buy a bodyweight type home gym like the Total Gym (www.totalgym.com) or Bodyrail (www.bodyrail.co.uk). The guys at the gym think I’m mad for doing this because they claim these bodyweight type gyms are gimmicks. They think that anything other than iron plates is a gimmick. Why can’t you use your own bodyweight instead of lumps of iron? Will your body know the difference? It’s ok for people to use pull-ups, chin-ups, dips, leg lifts etc, which all use your bodyweight as resistance, and yet when a product comes along that lets you use the same type of resistance for bicep curls, tricep extensions, shoulder presses, etc it’s considered a gimmick. Without spending a fortune, I’d like to buy an exercise machine that has the safety of a machine but with the benefits of free weights.
What is needed for a complete home gym for weight training, aerobics training, martial arts training, boxing training, and strength training?
i decided to get a home gym to join my treadmill (that i never use) in my spare room. I figured instead of joining a gym and paying the montly fees, i would rather have a gym in my house to work out whenever and it sounds like a cheaper option. i find it hard to find a home gym that will work out the abs area…i found one at sears
