Bowflex is awesome!

Nous sommes en présence d'un matériel de qualité avec 1 barre droite et une barre de curl de bonne facture. Le montage est relativement facile, en tout cas plus que le banc de la même marque à mon sens. Il existe une vidéo officielle explicative sur youtube. Elle est en anglais mais je trouve que cela est plus clair que sur une notice. Par contre il faut quelque fois un peu insister pour que les barres rentrent dans les 2 socles à poids mais sinon je n'ai pas grand-chose à redire. Le système de verrouillage des plaques est bien pensé et la sélection des poids est très rapide.Le feeling lors des exercices est plutôt bon j'avais une petite crainte par rapport à ça car il ne s'agit pas de poids circulaires comme sur une barre olympique. Si vous possédez déjà les haltères de la même marque vous allez pouvoir varier un peu plus vos exercices: overhead presses, skull crushers, squats sur épaule etc... il y a par contre quelques bémols:Premièrement le prix. A 800 euros c'est bien trop cher pour ce que c'est. A prendre à moitié prix.Deuxièmement le poids maximum proposé: 36 kilos de base, c'est peut-être assez pour les bras et les épaules mais pas assez pour les jambes. Cela oblige à prendre l'extension de 18 kilos et par conséquent à repasser une nouvelle fois à la caisse.Troisièmement le fait de devoir régler les poids au sol ( je ne possède pas le supportpeut poser problème si l'on veut squatter assez lourd. Tout le monde n'a pas assez de force pour élever 50 kilos par dessus ses épaules et la barre droite n'est pas spécialement conçue pour rentrer dans des cages à squats... pour ma part je place la barre sur 2 chaises lestées de 40 kilos chacune ( j'utilise les fameuse bowflex 1090) et je me place en-dessous pour squatter.... je me demande si je suis la seule personne au monde à faire ça....En bref c'est un achat à considérer à prix moindre en gardant à l'esprit que le concept est imparfait. Si vous avez de la place chez vous achetez plutôt une barre olympique. Vous pouvez la charger à l'infini. Mais si comme moi vous n'avez pas de place à la maison et que vous faites simplement du renforcement musculaire les bowflex 2080 feront l'affaire. A vous de voir si vous prenez l'extension.

Works perfectly and saves space. Well-designed

Ottimo articolo, altamente consigliato!

I let myself go and now pushing 70 it's time to get into some kind of shape. I have a good deal of Bowflex equipment. It lasts, this is the same quality. This dial in system is great, it's 80 lbs us plenty for what I do. Give this a try.

Super awesome. Easy-ish to put together, works great. Love how space saving it is!

I have to preface this review with what I purchased, as the description seems to keep changing, leaving a flood of good reviews for other items. I bought the Selecttech 2080 set with curl bar, straight bar and the 40lb upgrade set. There were problems with it explained below, and I called Bowflex support for assistance with the problems. I imagine Bowflex records customer service calls, so they can verify all of the following. I called them at 6:48 PM EDT on 8/8/2023 and spoke to a rep who said some discouraging things to me about this product and Bowflex's quality. The Bowflex rep was honest and helpful, and I appreciate his honesty. Unfortunately, what he was honest about was that Bowflex’s parent company Nautilus did not have good quality control, and in some weird way he associated it with the planet being overpopulated. Anyhow, after I assembled and ensured everything was adjusted properly based on the owner’s manual, I set the weight settings to 120lbs on both sides (using the curl bar), lifted it straight up, and the weight plate to the far right fell off. I then went to set it back in place, and the far left weight plate fell off before I could set it back down. I got everything set back in right in the stand and tried the straight bar. The same result happened, the far right weight plate fell off then the left. I set it all back in order in the stand, looked everything over then went through the owner’s manual again to ensure I didn’t miss anything. I confirmed everything was set up and adjusted properly. So, I searched online to see if this was a common problem and found several news stories saying this was recalled for this problem, and that buyers should call Bowflex’s parent company Nautilus directly for the kit to fix the issue. Once I called and got in touch with this Nautilus rep., he first confirmed that my unit had not been a recalled unit or it had already been updated with the fix, as the little spring-loaded plastic tab at the center of the bar that goes through the weight plates was white, and the recalled ones were black. He then went on to tell me, as mentioned above, that their quality control is not good and my unit or possibly the 40lb upgrade could be defective. He gave me some trouble shooting instructions to go through each weight setting progression and lift up a couple of inches at each setting to see if other settings have issues. This hurt my back a bit doing so, but I did follow his advice and went through the progressions. The problem only occurred at settings 110lbs and 120lbs on both the curl bar and straight bar. He recommended returning it all and (to paraphrase) he talked rather negatively about selectable/adjustable weight products in general. Other consumers should be aware that a Nautilus company rep. admitted that they have poor quality control, and even after recalling the product for this exact reason, the problem still exists. I had to re-box all of this heavy equipment and take it to a UPS drop off location myself to return it all. This has been a discouraging and bad experience from a company (Nautilus / Bowflex) I once regarded as the best at what they do.

Cet appareil sert pour le fitness et est assez facile à monter. Par contre j’attends impatiemment l’appareil de support pour savoir si on peut faire des exercices pour les pecs sur un banc qui n’est pas de la marque ?

Wer die Boxflex "Armhanteln" kennt, wird diese Langhanteln auch mögen. Der Zusammenbau dauerte ein wenig, aber war immer gut erklärt; und man baut es ja nur einmal zusammen. Das System selber ist sehr stabil, die Rasten funktionieren tadellos. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem System. Man kann auf kleinerem Raum viele Gewichtsvarianten vorhalten für verschiedene Übungen.Beim Einstellen klappert nix; Verarbeitung IMHO sehr gut. Preis- Leistung muss jeder selber beurteilen, deshalb vergebe ich da keine Sterne. Ich selber bin sehr zufrieden. Preiswert, aber nicht billig!

Ill sum it up as the best piece of equipment Ive ever bought for my home gym. It's easy to put together and works exactly as described...I also bought the stand to go with it. I was on the fence about buying it because of some of the negative reviews about putting it together. I just dont understand how anyone had any difficulty putting this together? Its actually embarrassing that you had trouble with 22 or so bolts. Lego sets are harder than this.

Love it! Easy to put together easy to use and beats buying the bar and all the separate plates to take up space. This is def money we’ll spent

I love this piece of equipment, it’s really added a lot to my work outs and combined with the ST 1090 dumbbells there’s very little other equipment I feel I’m missing from a gym.The bars feel good in your hands and it’s relatively easy to re-rack, though getting the spacing right for the stand was a bit of a pain.I bought the 40lb upgrade too, so it’ll be a while before I max out my weights. I do wish it went higher than 120lbs (with upgrade) but I understand why.Definitely recommend if you’re looking to expand your home gym for anyone who’s not a power lifter/advanced lifter who needs more weight.

Pros:- Both curl and straight bars provided- 80lbs total weight with option to upgrade to 120lb- Compact size for the weight range available- All tools and parts provided with clear instructions for installationCons:- Plastic tabs to hold the plates together - definitely concerned with durability considering they tried this with their dumbbells and had to go back to the metal tabs- Adjusting the weight cradles for the final step was time consuming and frustrating (if not adjusted correctly, weights don’t lock or unlock easily when placing or removing the bar)- Stand is an upgrade for $200 but I feel should be included as standard in the current packageOverall works well and is great for a home gym. My only concern is the durability of the plastic tabs that lock the plates against each other. With 80-120lb and regular usage not sure how long these will hold up. Overall installation took me about 45min with clean-up and unboxing. 15 to install, 10 to clean up and unbox, 20 to adjust the cradles.
