Amazon.com Product Description
Looking for a total body workout but you're on a budget?

It offers over 95 exercises and includes a lat tower, leg extension/leg curl station, preacher curl attachment, integrated squat station and more.

This refurbished model of the Bowflex Ultimate 2 is backed by a full 6-month warranty. The Ultimate 2 utilizes Bowflex's patented Power Rods, which provide resistance, or weight, that feels as good as or better than free weights--but without the inertia or risk of joint pain usually associated with free weights. 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 310 pounds of resistance (can be upgraded to 410 pounds). They're precisely manufactured from a high-tech composite material under the highest quality control measures, then sheathed and tested 4 separate times to ensure quality and durability.

 A Real Machine May 13, 2009

I saw this come up and I had to give this a rating it deserved. I'll hope to expand later.
Does this come in separate boxes? Yes, about six. (I had more as I bought extra.) Does it take a while to put together? Yes, a few hours over a few days. Has it been amazing? Yes. I saw nearly instantaneous results. It's easy to use and makes working out from home a dream. I can shift between various exercises quickly and easily. I highly recommend it.
Also, I highly recommend the ab attachment, which is not included in this. It makes an ab workout easier, faster and more effective.
Great Workout, Easy to Use, Helpfull Company July 27, 2009

This is a very easy to use product. The weight does not really reach 400 lbs if you want heavy weights but it is relatively close. There are a large variety of workouts for all bodyparts. Mine came with a grip missing(not really a problem because there were three others) and the company replaced it right away. The boxes were beat up when they came but nothing was damaged. The rope attachment is virtually useless with this machine but can be used with the chain included if you really want to use it. I love doing my squats, lunges, leg curls and extensions on this machine because I have torn cartilage and feel no pain. It is a very low impact way to lift legs. I am not very good at doing rows and feel like it is awkward and that I cant take advantage of all the weight when I am doing it. Some may like it though. Changing lifts is easy because you don't have to switch cables on this machine but switching to squats, leg curls and extensions or bicep curls takes a little adding of parts but it isn't hard(They are my favorite use for this machine so it must not be too hard). Putting the machine together is not hard if you follow the directions. I put it together in one afternoon despite its multiple shipping boxes. I recommend this machine fully and think it is a great option for lifters out there who want a full gym without being away from home, the family, and paying for a gym membership.

As a previous reviewer stated, Yes, this comes in about 6 different boxes, (I also got more boxes because I ordered more attachments). Yes, it does take about 8-18 hours of assembly (varies depending on how good you are at putting things together). When you first open the boxes and see all of the parts the task does look daunting, but the Bowflex instruction manual does a fair job of explaining how to assemble it. I am OK at assembling things, such as Ikea and Target furniture. Although, this was definitely a step up in difficulty, it isn't impossible. It does take some patience and attention to detail. Took me 3 days working 4hrs a day to complete the machine, total 12hrs. I did feel a sense of accomplishment knowing that I finished and did it alone.
I used it for a month and a half straight and after 4 weeks there were obvious results. Unfortunately I fell off the workout wagon and began to use it less and less because I just got busy with life. But if you use it it does work!
One negative, I guess, is that it is BIG, about L8'xW4'xH7' so you must have room for it. Even folded up it takes up about L5'xW4xH7'(for the exercises that you get the size makes sense)I had it in our bedroom because it was the biggest room in our old apt, besides the living room. Now we have a garage and I keep it there. It is a much better spot for it. Now that I have my own workout room, I plan on getting back on the wagon and working out with it regularly. It is a great machine that is fun to use. (For me, it is even more fun to workout with a partner).
Keep in mind that it is different from using free weights. Where free weights tend to get easier when you get to the top of your contraction, the Bowflex power rods on the other hand start off easier and get tougher towards the top of your contraction. It takes some getting used to but as you use it you will get used to it.
There are so many exercises that you can have a different workout every week. It is Well constructed, very durable, and most importantly it is effective. I payed about $3,500 for it with the ab crunch attachment and I still feel that it was money well spent. I will make my money back on this the longer I have it as compared to a gym membership for 5yrs.
So if you have the space are self motivated and want a home gym, this is the product for you. Save yourself the trouble and get the Ultimate 2 Accessory rack as well. At first I Thought I wouldn't need one but I am probably gonna get one in the next few months because the accessories are everywhere and with it they will be a lot more organized and easier to access when needed as well as store when not in use.
being fair to the actual item!! May 22, 2009

I had to rate this!! I have had this since mothers day (yes I am a woman, and it has been almost 2 weeks). I have been using it every other day since then. I have lost almost 10 lbs. (I am on a diet as well, so no big surprise there), but I am more impressed with the flab I am losing and the tone I am gaining. My husband is working out too, and his belly and love handles have all gone down a bit. This thing is easy to use, and really does work!! I would highly recommend getting the accessory stand, otherwise there will be pieces all over the room it is in, and they could get damaged.
What a great machine! March 3, 2010

I have had my Ultimate 2 for a couple of weeks, after a month of research. What a well made piece of equipment. This unit requires a lot of space, even folded its large and it's heavy. I asked a buddy who is a trainer and is in the fitness business and this model was the most recommended for home use. I had a chance to checkout the (flimsy and cheap looking) Bowflex PR1000 Home GymBowflex PR3000 Home Gym/3000 at Academy Sports there is no comparison In my opinion. I am so glad I didn't take the chance on any other machine. I bought mine on Craig's list in new like condition for 1050.00 with Ab Crunch(6 or more of them in my area listed). The guy that I bought it from said it took him 2 afternoons to assemble it and I believe him. There are so many deferent exercises I did have to buy the Bowflex Ultimate 2 Instructional DVD + Workout to see all its potential.
