Here it is the home gym experts Top 5 home gyms for 2009. In order to make this list
a home gyms must be of high quality and light on your wallet.
| #1 Bodylastics when I tried the Bodylastics gym, I was immediately impressed by the smooth resistance and hefty design of the tubing. As I continued through my workout it became clear that Bodylastics put a lot of thought into the design and functionality of the gym and the attachments (handles, ankle straps and door anchor) all of which make the gym a breeze to use, even for a beginner with no experience. I highly recommend the Bodylastics system, it's the best value in strength training under $100 and provides a solid workout that will challenge beginners and experts alike, without the need to invest in bulky, expensive home gyms and dumbbells. The Bodylastics resistance exercise bands come in two flavors, the Bodylastics Basic, and the Bodylastics Max Tension (you can also order additional resistance bands directly from their website for a few bucks each if you need them) The Bodylastics gym is super compact and very light. Bodylastics is by far the best home gym in the world. |
| #2 The Bowflex Sport The Bowflex Sport is a good value in home gyms and blows the doors off the Weider Crossbow. It's also miles ahead of the overrated Stamina Bandflex Gym in terms of functionality and performance The Bowflex Sport isn't quite as solid and sturdy as the upper end Bowflexs' like the Ultimate and Revolution, on the plus side you can upgrade the resistance from the standard 210 pounds up to 310, or even 410 pounds - that's enough for all but hard core power trainers, and that's not who this gym is meant for. The Bowflex Sport is a good alternative to higher priced gyms and may fit the bill if you have a rather small budget but don't want to sacrifice getting a gym with a good track record and strong company |

#5 Total Gym 1700 Club Home Gym The Total Gym 1700 Club is the step up from the Total Gym 1500 and is, what I think, a better value than the entry level Total Gym. Let me start this review by stating that I do like the Total Gym 1500 and think it's a good budget gym, but I think the Total Gym 1700 is a far better value and only costs a few dollars more. Here's what you get on the Total Gym 1700 that you don't get with the 1500... Pilates bar which helps improve your range of motion and balance A weight bar that lets you add up to 75 lbs. of additional free weights to increase your workout (weights not included) Dip bars and press-up bars that work together as a complete resistance mechanism that recruits your own body weight to help you maximize strength in a totally stress-free way a user weight limit of 325 pounds (250 pounds on cheaper models) Yes, the list of additional features isn't a mile long on the 1700, but the features you get are so important to a better workout, you'd be a fool not to upgrade from the 1500. The weight bar attachment that let's you increase the resistance is the best upgrade on this machine. You may not appreciate the convenience of adding additional weight until you've been working out for a couple of months and your strength increases, and when the day comes that you're stronger and need more of a challenge, you'll be happy the option is there Buy Total Gym |
