Long before Bowflex treadmills were on the horizon, Bowflex was a home fitness pioneer. Back in 1986 the company began its journey with the Bowflex 2000X, a strength trainer that sounded futuristic at the time — and by introducing low-impact tension resistance it wastruly revolutionary. Since then Bowflex has continued to innovate with all-in-one home gyms, treadmills, elliptical cross trainers, and treadmill-elliptical hybrids. What do all Bowflex products have in common? Each is optimized for exercising with minimal harsh impact and achieving rapid results. These benefits are inseparable: That is, the reduced impact helps make the extraordinary Bowflex results possible. Bowflex treadmills and other Bowflex trainers let people exercise harder for longer, with less perceived exertion and less need for recovery time.
