[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-05-26 Summary: great price--great machine! ... The Motivator 2 and very similar PR 1000 are great entry level machines.

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-05-18 Summary: Good workout, finding parts could be a drawback ... I have a first generation Treadclimber. I'm talking truly first generation because I bought it when treadclimber was owned by "Weider" as opposed to "Bowflex". I have really been happy with the machine as it has survived several moves and wear and tear. It does produce some odd noises now in its age and I would, also, hope that finding affordable replacement parts was a little easier. I need to replace the pistons on it, but all the places I have searched are pretty expensive. It seems a little ridiculous that these ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-04-29 Summary: Bioforce...best for the money...and best period. ... I have tried the Bowflex and as has been expressed in more than one review the weight effect is not constant through the entire range of motion. The Bioforce in addition to the superior weight simulation is $1000 less than a roughly comprable Bowflex model. You do have less of a warranty, but if I need to replace one of the hydraulic tubes, cables or any other part it won't cost $1000. What the heck if I buy another one it won't cost the $1000 dollar price difference. Bioforce is the best and is at the best price...no ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-11 Summary: Great resistance workout ... I bought this home gym for my husband. He originally wanted a Bowflex, but after we saw the BioForce in a sporting goods store, we wanted it. We were impressed with the smooth mechanics of the pulley system, and the price. I found one on Amazon for less than the store and purchased it. It is a great home gym, but there are a couple of things that are different from the one we saw in the store (1.7 model). The one we bought from Amazon does not have handles on the seat back and seat. It would be nice to have them to ...more
