Buying a home gym is one of the most useful purchases that anyone can make if they are looking to do an effective workout at home. The biggest money waster is the fact that sometimes people settle for what looks good on the advertisement, instead of finding what exactly will work the best for them.

Home gym systems come in many different forms, from simple dumbells and weight sets, all the way up to the multi gym systems on the market such as the Bowflex exercise system. The question on everyone's mind is which one will work best for me if I am on a tight budget and do not have any exercise knowledge? Also, which one would the professionals use, no matter the price?

The Bowflex pr1000 home gym will cost $600. It is a great all in one gym machine for beginners. The resistance on this machine is 210 pounds. This is a reasonable resistance that will develop any exercise routines you currently have and will develop your muscles beyond what you might normally be able to achieve without going down the gym on a regular basis. It will acheive more results than sit ups, jumping rope and also push ups. Owners have stated that the home set up time for this machine is about 2 hours, it so well put together, most reviewers agree that this gym is a great purchase. It has everything that you may find in any other gym, for instance, a rowing machine, and a weight machine and it allows you to do over thirty different exercises.

If you have a little more money to spend, you could consider the Body Solid EXM 1500s Home Gym. This machine will cost about $200 more than the Bowflex. The advantages of this exercise machine are the fact that it comes with the highest ratings from owners, they also like the fact that it has a lifetime warranty. This machine is small enough for use in most households due to its small footprint, it has a tension pulley resistance system, as well as a bench that allows for a high number of different workout positions. This way, many different exercises can be done. If it is a cardio workout that you are looking for, this machine is well loved by the people who currently have it in their homes so they can do their cardio.

The good thing about having your own Bowflex pr 1000 is the fact that the weight resistance is greater. If it is a lifetime warranty that you want, the Body Solid EXM is in the highest rated. It all depends on the owner, what they want, and also, which is within your budget. Both these machines appear to carry a significant cost, however it is worth bearing in mind that to assemble the equipment required to carry out the exercises these machines allow you to do would cost considerably more than either of these machines and probably require more space.
