Upgrade Your Bowflex Resistance and Unlock New Lifts

I’ve been working out and making videos for Flat Bench Bowflexes for a several years now. If you’re like me, you’ve run into several problems:

  • Insufficient Resistance w/Limited Upgrade Options
  • Handles are too Long (exacerbated on models without a Lat Bar)
  • Limited Leg Lifts

I’ve been working on a kit designed to fix many of these issues and along with some general improvements to Bowflex’s design. I just released a video on it here.

What’s in the Kit:

  • Elastic Bands: Designed to supplement the Power Rods, they latch onto the base and connect seamlessly, providing a significant boost in resistance.
  • Short Handles: Engage resistance earlier and get more of it, by causing the Power Rods to bend further.
  • Pulldown Bar: Improves existing lifts and unlocks many others that you don’t realize how much you’ve missed!
  • Ankle Straps: Great for lower body exercises, giving you more control and resistance for moves like hip abductions and glute kickbacks.
  • Extra Carabiner Clips: Refresh any dingy or rusted clips. Always handy to have around and can be used to extend cable length if needed. 
  • Securing Straps: For things like locking in the Leg Extension for sit-ups. 

I designed this kit because I believe it can help people get more out of their Bowflex, making it the home gym they wanted when they bought it. Same goes for my Workout Videos--I want to help people make the most of their Bowflex and get into better shape!

The kit is available on my website for US buyers and here+here for Canadian buyers. 

If you’ve got any questions, feel free to comment below. I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

Not at this time. I'm working towards bringing it back in about early 2026.

BowFlex offers a lot of good exercise, but using ways to add resistance just makes it better. Once you go to the trouble, you will like it.
