Review - The Weider Crossbow home gyms is the new kid on the block when you're talking about free range of motion home gyms.

Like the Bowflex and the Bandflex, the Weider Crossbow utilizes a power rod type set up to deliver the resistance for each exercise.

If you compare the Weider Crossbow home gyms to the Bowflex you'll discover just how good of a deal you get with the Crossbow.

The Bowflex is a good gym, but rather expensive. On the other hand, the Weider Crossbow home gym delivers a nearly identical quality workout for about half of the price.

It also comes with the same lifetime warranty on the power rods and a full five year limited warranty on everything else.

The Weider Crossbow home gym also scores high on versaility. You can perform over 65 exercises with the standard 240 pounds of resistance (the resistance can be upgraded to a full 440 pounds).

One of big advantages of the Crossbow home gym compared to the Bowflex is that the Crossbow comes standard with a leg developer. That same leg developer will set you back a nice chunk of change on the Bowflex.

To sweeten an already good deal, Weider has outfitted the Crossbow home gym with a rowing seat, lat tower and four position padded seat all standard.
