In a few months our (mine and my girlfriend's) lease expires. We're going to be moving into a larger, 2 bedroom apartment where one room will be for my computer stuff and a mini-gym. We're both big into sports and working out (she's been on lots of teams, I've been on a few and a member of several gyms for years), so we know the whole exercise routine.
However, given our schedules (school + work + living on our own) we don't have much time to go out of our way to a gym. Furthermore, I found that it's a lot cheaper to just buy your own stuff than pay to "rent" it. Anyway, we're looking for an all-in-one machine. I've heard a lot about the bowflex system. Does anyone here have one or used one in the past? How does it compare to other machines in the gym? How does it compare to free weights? What kind of tension can you expect (in pounds)? I guess I'm asking whether it's a good all-around fitness workstation. Any input would be great. I'm doing some more research as we speak.
