The Bowflex Xtreme XLU is the lower end of the Xtreme range of Bowflex products at $999. The Xtreme XTLU is $1199. The XLU has 60+ exercises, while the XTLU has 65+.

Interestingly enough, both are almost the same size at 6' 11' (h) x 4' 8' (l) x 4' 2' (w). The difference between the two Bowflex Xtreme models is that the XTLU has a leg attachment, which the XLU does not.

Both come with 210lbs of resistance and are upgradable to 310 lbs or 410 lbs.

The Bowflex Xtreme is great for two different aspects of physical training : Strength Training and Circuit Training.

The former allows you to to build and sculpt muscles and add bulk (aka pumping iron), the latter is used to tone muscles, get conditioned and lose weight (burn fat). Bowflex offers what they call 'gym quality' exercises - as good or better than the machines you may use in a high end gym. I do not fully agree with this assesment, but it is not too far off the mark.

All Bowflex models fold up and easily fit in your bedroom or living room.

Bowflexes all work on the same rod-and-pulley principle. The thicker the rod, the harder it is to bend and therefore the more resistance it offers. It is easy to monitor performance and add a little more resistance each week.

If you are the type of person who likes to work out at home and has some garage space in which to set up, this system is great for you. If you live in a cold part of the country, you may prefer a morning workout in the comfort of your own home. The cost of this home gym will soon be offset by savings on gasoline and gym membership fees.

Personally, I like going to the gym, talking and hanging out with the guys. If I were more of a homebody, I'd get a Bowflex immediately.
