Has No Speed Indicator
on April 1, 2019
Posted by: Let Down
from Dallas, TX
Verified Purchase:No
It's mechanically great... looks great, yet has no speed indicator. Also, the distance does not keep distance normally. It factors resistance into it. Basically, this has zero way for you to tell if you're progressing or not.
Cons: No Speed Indicator
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are very sorry if the display on the BXE116 is not what you were expecting. With this machine it will track time, distance, and heart rate. We will pass along your feedback to our design team. We do wish you all the luck in your fitness journey. Please let us know if you have any questions on this machine. -- Bowflex Team

Verified Purchase:Yes
This machine definitely gives you a good workout. I found out how out of shape I was going only five minutes to start. The machine is study, smooth and there are many work out options to choose from. It is a pretty large machine so storing it is not an option.
Pros: Easy To Use, Operates Smoothly, Sturdy Base
Cons: Hard To Store
I would recommend this to a friend!

It took a little longer than expected to put together and had to contact customer support for some help. It is much larger and heavier than I anticipated and it is taken a little time to get use to the gate on this machine but overall good.
Pros: Easy To Use, Operates Smoothly, Quiet, Sturdy Base
I would recommend this to a friend!

The BXE116 is definitely built like a tank, but we're so happy to hear that you've got all assembled now and have been enjoying your workouts on it. Once you get used to the motion of the machine, you'll be crushing your workouts and loving it each time! -- Bowflex Team

Needs walk setting for just exexcise and not a workout
on April 2, 2018
Posted by: GM
from Sebring Florida
Verified Purchase:Yes
Would be nice to use it without feeling like your training for a competition. General setting with shorter stride and less resistance is needed for disabled and older people who want to exercise
Pros: Easy To Use, Operates Smoothly, Quiet, Sturdy Base
I would recommend this to a friend!
