Bowflex
I have a few questions on the Bowflex:
Does anyone here own one?
Where and how much did you pay?
Would you recommend it? Which Model?
My wife and I bought an elliptical trainer 6 months ago – we’ve only used it TWICE!
We find that it’s better to go for a walk, jog or cycling than use the machine. We bought the machine for $1840 (incl. tax) and want to sell it now and get the Bowflex instead. What do you think? How much can we get for it?
Here are the specs for the Elliptical. It’s practically BRAND NEW (I have the receipt – it was bought from Fitness Source).

KETTLER CTR1 ELLIPTICAL / CROSSTRAINER (Made in Germany)
The CTR1 Elliptical/Crosstrainer is a highly effective form of exercise for the entire body as it makes use of all the main groups of muscles and stimulates the metabolism. Through their innovative elliptical movement of the footplates, the KETTLER cross trainers give a unique and enjoyable feeling of weightlessness during training. The evenly balanced movement strengthens the legs, seat and hips without putting unnecessary strain on the joints. The movement of the upper torso is linked to that of the legs and strengthens arms, shoulders, chest and back.
Enjoy the silent smooth ride.
