Questions & Answers

Is there a limit on the user’s height with the Bowflex 3000 Home Gym?
The machine itself is 6’10” in height and has a user weight maximum of 300 lbs. Bowflex’s Power Rod gym line-up is designed for the population’s average in terms of height. Taller users might have to add length to the cables depending on arm span and leg length.
What are the major differences between the Bowflex PR3000 and the Bowflex PR1000?
The PR1000 is actually a larger machine, at 103″ in length and 80″ in width, while the PR3000 is 96″ and 76″ respectively. Also, the PR3000 does not have a lay-down bench, but rather an adjustable seat. Both machines offer 210 lbs resistance, but the PR3000 can be upgraded while the PR1000 cannot.
How can I upgrade the resistance level of the Bowflex PR3000 Home Gym to 310 lbs?
Additional resistance packs can be ordered online from Bowflex.
