I use the 14 min workout. Love the interval training. Would love less time in between to recover. I think it's too long of a recovery time. I'm not sure how to adjust that yet or if there is even a way.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Interval Training, Strengthens
Cons: Noisy

I work full time and come home and am a full time caregiver for my husband. I was a regular gym goer but his sleep patterns have grown more erratic so I have not been able to go since December .Now I am teaching from home due to Covid and the stress and lack of exercise was too much. I have been working out at least 3 times a week on my Max. I love it! My goal will be 6 days a week eventually, and I am excited to work towards that!
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, MOTIVATING, Quiet, Strengthens

After paying for a gym membership for years - rarely went. I needed a low impact exercise machine that could help me build strength and lose weight. I am on my second week of using it and love it. I like how the intervals are customized and change the more I use the equipment. Yesterday, I did a 21 min workout. I feel myself growing stronger each day and this really is a great workout . I am inspired by the results I've seen advertised and committed to use this as a tool to help me reach my goals.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy To Use, Love the interval programs built in, Strengthens

Been using this consistently for the past 3 weeks 5 days a week. The 14 min interval gives me no excuse not to do it throughout the work week. Everyday after work I've been using it with the Bowflex Jrny app and have already noticed improvement in endurance. Would recommend this product. #sweepstakes

I absolutely love this machine. I especially love that it kicks my butt in seven minute intervals. I am just getting back into working out and have wanted this machine for years. So glad I finally broke down and got it. I love getting on it every day.
