Bowflex PR1000 Review
The Bowflex PR1000 is one of the cheapest personal home trainers that you can find. It costs only $450 and although it does not give you as much as even the Blaze does, it is adequate.
For a personal trainer at this price, there is really nothing much in terms of research that you need to do beyond finding out whether the product is actually useful or if it is just going to become junk in your home.
We have therefore reviewed the PR1000 to show you how effective it really is. The exercises that you can do with this machine is beyond the scope of this review, but a glance through the official website for Bowflex will let you know exactly what you can and cannot do.

Bowflex PR1000 Features and Description
There is very little to describe in the PR1000. If you’ve seen one personal trainer, you’ve seen them all. The only difference would be in how comprehensive they are when it comes to the number of exercises that you can perform with them.
The PR1000 comes with a seat that can double as a rowing seat when you want it to. It is capable of supporting all the standard presses, pull downs, curls and ab exercises. You can even give your legs a workout.
The resistance is provided by twin bows, or power rods that actually work very well. Everything is built solidly of metal, and you never feel unstable when you are working out on it.
The Good
At the price that you are purchasing it there is really no arguments here. Everything works as they should, and although you may not be able to become a hunk, ever, with this machine, it is more than adequate for those who want to burn off those excess calories, and get stronger at the same time.
The Bad
There are only two things that are negative in this machine. One is that they offer only around 25 exercises which means that after a few months of using it you will regret not having gotten a better one.
Not that this model is not useful, just that for a beginner it is very good, but when you start using it for some time, and you want to go up, either in weight or in the number of exercises you do, this machine cannot support it.
The second negative is that the power rods do not give you the correct weight. You may therefore be pressing 210 lbs on the trainer, but if you go to a gym do not try with the same weight as the difference is considerable. If you are not going to do this however, there is really no issues at all.
Conclusion
As a cheap, for-beginners, personal trainer, the PR 1000 is hard to beat. If you are on the younger side, you may want to look at the Blaze. It does cost more, but it gives you more options, something that you may want a couple of months into your exercise regimen. If you are however getting this because it is as good a way as any of removing that extra couple of “middle age” inches round your waist, this is more than enough.
You may not want to become a hulk at this age, and if you are as busy as most of us are, you wouldn’t have the time anyway. The PR1000 is best here.
