In this article we look at how Bowflex manage to deliver up to 400lbs of resistance and still keep the weight of the machine down.

Bowflex have come up with two innovative ideas to push resistance to the max, and keep the machine weight down. These are the PowerRods, and SpiraFlex technologies. Both these systems are employed across the Bowflex Range of Home Gyms.
