Bowflex TC1000 Review
The Bowflex TC1000 is their treadclimber, which looks like a combination between an elliptical trainer and a stepper. It is not a very complicated machine and is quite simple to set up and use.
Anything that makes you use your body is good for you, so there is no question about its effectiveness. The only question is about value for money.
Considering that a new TC1000 will cost you nearly $2500, there are a number of other options that you can go with, so you need to be really sure that this is the one for you.
This is why we have given an honest review of the product, to help you make up your mind.

Description
The TC1000 as already mentioned looks like a mix between an elliptical trainer and a stepper. There is a U shaped front that has handles on the sides that you can grasp as you work out, and a display in front that gives you the required information. There are two steppers below that are operated hydraulically to smoothen out your action. It is also not very big and is easily stored in a corner when not in use. This is easily accomplished with the wheels that have been thoughtfully provided.
It weighs in at a modest 185 lbs but can carry up to 300 lbs. It has 6 different program options and 12 resistance levels. It is marketed as a good quality exercise machine at a rock bottom price.
The Good
It is very compact and is therefore very good for small spaces. It is a great way to work off that excess fat from your bottom and thighs and is sturdily built. It is a simple mechanism and therefore will not cause long term problems. The motor is powerful enough to take anyone, and the different workout options and resistance levels work together to start showing noticeable results in less than 6 weeks of use.
The Bad
The machine is a very basic machine, and at $2500 you kind of expect more. In fact considering that there are many a treadmill that is very good, last decades and gives you similar workout options at lower prices, this price may seem a little too high.
The warranty is also not that great. You get only a 1 year warranty on the motor, parts and labour, woefully low when compared to the lifetime warranty that you get on the motor in some cases.
The Verdict
You may be forgiven for thinking that this is an overpriced product. At the price that they retail at, you may not even want to consider it. The warranty too is not that great and leads one to think that the actual product is not as good as it seems to be. Yet if you really want a stepper this may be a good option, especially if you get one of the refurbished ones. These are there in plenty, and retailed by Bowflex itself and you can get them quite cheap if you look around.
