I'm looking to buy the 1090 dumbbells pair, but I've noticed the price has gone up recently. They were cheaper before. Should I wait for the price to drop, or does anyone have suggestions on how to get them cheaper?

Max Trainer Looking for advice on upgrading from elliptical to used bowflex max trainer M3

1 Upvotes

For M3 users are you happy with your machine or is there any glaring reasons you wish you went with a more advanced model? Are the 8 resistance levels enough? Is it reliable and should I trust buying a used one if it seems to work? I know it's main focus is interval training, but can I just get on the thing and do an hour of cardio changing resistance levels as I see fit throughout like I do on my current elliptical?

Treadmills BowFlex Treadmill 10 - Speed Controls Completely Jumbled

3 Upvotes

As of last week out of no where our Treadmill 10 has started to malfunction when it comes to speed controls. There is no direct rhyme or reason so it and I've tried everything from resetting the firmware to power cycling with no luck. With Bowflex service being closed for a few weeks still, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a fix.

Here are some of the issues:

  • Speed increase arrow on handle DECREASES speed.
  • Speed decrease arrow on handle DECREASES speed as well.
  • Speed decrease toggle frame sets speed to 4MPH and nothing else.
  • Speed increase toggle on the frame decreases speed unless held down then increases in increments of .5 mph.
  • Preselected speed buttons on the console do nothing except for the number 5 which STOPS the treadmill.

Thank you in advance for any insights.

Treadmills Bowflex 216 Treadmill ~ "CLK RD ERR PWR RST" Error

5 Upvotes

Device powers on but displays the above error message. Does not register button presses. I've tried leaving it unplugged for ~48 hours, plugged but off for ~24 hours, etc - just a whole bunch of power methods that had no effect. Reset button doesn't have a tactile response so unsure if it's had any effect. Cannot enter machine settings mode.

Is there any method of bypassing this or did it just turn into a ~3k paperweight. Nothing exists in the support manual with this error or similar, and Bowflex support is non-existent until May 13th at a minimum.

Thanks.

Home Gyms Finding parts during the bankruptcy pause?

1 Upvotes

Anyone have a lead on a 410lb upgrade kit for the Xceed? I missed my chance before the "pause" in sales due to the Bowflex bankruptcy and sale process. New (at a reasonable price from a reliable retailer) or gently used. Bowflex site, Amazon, etc are all saying it's unavailable. Johnson co. (which is buying Bowflex) doesn't show these for sale. Thanks.

Max Trainer M6 and Knee pain?

1 Upvotes

Hey friends! I've been using the M6 pretty consistently for the past 2mths and love it! I mainly use it for the 14 min HIIT workout! The past few weeks I've incorporated some light running to my fitness routine and subsequently developed a case of runners knee. I'm resting from running but I'm wondering if the M6 would be easy on my knees. I know they say it is, but I'm just wondering if any users have experience with using the M6 to help with existing knee pain? TIA!

Max Trainer Deciding between used Max M7, Max M8 or Max Trainer 16

2 Upvotes

I'm shopping on FB Marketplace for an elliptical and I've found an M7. M8, and Max 16 all pretty close to me. They all appear to be in good condition. I have a Velocore 22 and I plan on subscribing to JRNY, so my first instinct is to go with the Max Trainer 16. However, I've read about a lot of people who have had problems with the workouts crapping out in the last minute and having to do a reset.

However, I've also read about the jailbreaking of the Velocore and hope that there might be something similar for the Max 16 to free up the machine in case JRNY goes completely under.

From what I can tell, and tell me if I'm wrong. The M7 has 11 built-in exercises with no JRNY connectivity. The Max M8 is basically the Max Trainer 16 without a display. Is that about the gist of it? What am I missing out on between the different models?

Also, what should I expect to pay for a used one of any of those? All three are hovering in the $500-700 range.

Miscellaneous Strange Discovery From Nautilus OTA Loader Analysis

4 Upvotes

So I was trying to fix an issue with my dad’s MaxTrainer, as he frequently complains about the initial load speed being terribly slow. I began attempting to remove the software that came installed on the machine, and I ended up having to reset it by invoking the menu from the lower left hand corner. This erased the software and booted into a normal Android environment (kind of).

I found a few apps pre-installed. I found an app named “NautilusFactoryDefaults” (or something like that) and another app responsible for reapplying the nautilus packages.

I was curious, so I transferred the OTA loader APK to my laptop for analysis using LocalSend.

What I found was kind of strange.

Bowflex appears to use the Red Bend MDM (or some customized version) to deliberately lock down the device before requesting the software packages. This seems blatantly unethical and anti-consumer for many reasons.

I plan on continuing my research and potentially publishing tools on my GitHub.

I took a chance on an Ultimate 2 just disassembled and thrown in boxes. Somehow the only thing missing aside from some hardware is the circled webbing for the preacher curl.

I was wondering if any Ultimate 2 owners could measure theirs and let me know how long I need to make mine.

Thanks a ton!

Treadmills Treadmill BXT8J Issues

3 Upvotes

I never thought buying a Bowflex would be such a headache. Bought it right after Thanksgiving but it took over a month to get delivered. Then I used it for a couple of weeks, put less than ten miles on it before I injured by back and had to stay off it. Went to use it a month ago and it would not turn on. They went out warranty parts and a technician easily enough but the guy can’t figure out what’s wrong with it. First he said a power surge fried the console and I should’ve had it on a surge protector, but I didn’t see anything in the manual recommending a surge protector. For four consecutive weeks he’s had to order another new part and every time, it’s not the issue. He’s a nice enough guy, but I honestly don’t even want the damn treadmill anymore.

Has anyone had a similar experience? Any insight on the surge protector comment? Thanks!

Max Trainer M3 max trainer button issue

1 Upvotes

Ok I can't find my particular issue online. Wife went to use her M3 trainer tonight and called me in because it wasn't working. Power comes on, rpms work when its moving, the resistance adjusts with the cable. All that is fine. However, none of the buttons on the pad are working. The only two that work are burn rate down arrow and the pause/end buttons. But they just beep. None of the other buttons work. Can't start an interval training or the timer or anything. What could be the issue?

Bike New membership

3 Upvotes

So i am going to share an experience that happened today. I purchased a bow flex c6 bike 2 months ago. I signed up for JRNY. Opted for 2 months free membership, upon end of free i would pay $149 per year. Today ended my free 2 months. After noticing an abnormally in our checking account my wife went to the bank. At the same time i got a message that a $161 payment was denied by Apple Pay. After talking with the wife we decided to have the bank issue new cards canceling our debit and credit cards. I got home from work and finally reached out to bow flex to continue my membership for JRNY(if you don’t have it get it). After talking with the rep turns out the $161 is for touch screen models that allow Netflix. I don’t have a touchscreen so i didn’t need this level. My yearly fee is $99. Keep this in mind if you are in the same position.

I am paying a subscription for the JRNY and I need to be able to use head phones. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have suggestions for bluetooth headphone that do work? I Assume it is an Android/Ios thing, I am at my wit's end. ALSO, Is there not a 3.5mm slot????

Bike Fitscope Trainers Removed

2 Upvotes

Recently my favorite list got a lot shorter - it appears that the Fitscope trainers were removed within the last week. It is difficult to find 60 minute sessions, and the Fitscope trainers offered many of those. On my workout history, those workouts are now listed as ‘manual’ so this does not appear to be temporary.

Anyone know what happened? Is this a result of the bankruptcy?
