I saw this come up and I had to give this a rating
it deserved. I'll hope to expand later.
Does this come in separate boxes? Yes, about six. (I
had more as I bought extra.) Does it take a while to
put together? Yes, a few hours over a few days. Has
it been amazing? Yes. I saw nearly instantaneous
results. It's easy to use and makes working out from
home a dream. I can shift between various exercises
quickly and easily. I highly recommend it.
Also, I highly recommend the ab attachment, which is
not included in this. It makes an ab workout easier,
faster and more effective.

I had to rate this!! I have had this since mothers
day (yes I am a woman, and it has been almost 2
weeks). I have been using it every other day since
then. I have lost almost 10 lbs. (I am on a diet as
well, so no big surprise there), but I am more
impressed with the flab I am losing and the tone I
am gaining. My husband is working out too, and his
belly and love handles have all gone down a bit.
This thing is easy to use, and really does work!! I
would highly recommend getting the accessory stand,
otherwise there will be pieces all over the room it
is in, and they could get damaged.

As a previous reviewer stated, Yes, this comes in
about 6 different boxes, (I also got more boxes
because I ordered more attachments). Yes, it does
take about 8-18 hours of assembly (varies depending
on how good you are at putting things together).
When you first open the boxes and see all of the
parts the task does look daunting, but the Bowflex
instruction manual does a fair job of explaining how
to assemble it. I am OK at assembling things, such
as Ikea and Target furniture. Although, this was
definitely a step up in difficulty, it isn't
impossible. It does take some patience and attention
to detail. Took me 3 days working 4hrs a day to
complete the machine, total 12hrs. I did feel a
sense of accomplishment knowing that I finished and
did it alone.
I used it for a month and a half straight and after
4 weeks there were obvious results.
There are so many exercises that you can have a
different workout every week. It is Well
constructed, very durable, and most importantly it
is effective. I payed about $3,500 for it with the
ab crunch attachment and I still feel that it was
money well spent. I will make my money back on this
the longer I have it as compared to a gym membership
for 5yrs.
