I got rid of my old plate weight…

I got rid of my old plate weight machine for a Bow flex, and it was a great move. I can get through my workouts faster due to the ease of changing the rods. The plate weight machine was "jerky", and caused nagging injuries. The Bow Flex is a very smooth muscle contraction, and my only regret is that I did not purchase it earlier.

Speaking from my personal experience

Speaking from my personal experience; The machines are compact and fit into small spaces. However, they are strong, powerful and durable. Had the Tread climber TC5000 and loved it, Looking for a better experience with The T16 Treadmill.

Excellent customer service

My customer service agent went above and beyond to make sure he answered all of my questions and made ordering easy and simple. I wish I'd ordered direct from Bowflex instead of having to cancel my order through Dicks when no one could tell me when my Bowflex would arrive.

I have owned Bowflex adjustable…

I have owned Bowflex adjustable dumbbells for almost 20 years and was very pleased with my experience. A few weeks ago, I decided to buy a new set of the 552 Select Tech dumbbells.

The order arrived fairly quickly, which was nice. Unfortunately, when I opened the package and tested the new dumbbells, we realized that they felt heavier than usual. I used our scale to weigh the 552's and it turned out that each of the dumbbells was 2.9 lbs heavier than the weight reads.

When I contacted customer service to return the dumbbells and take advantage of their 100% satisfaction guarantee, I was advised that I would be charged the following...

*Non-Refundable Original Shipping Cost (this is not a fee, it is money already paid to the carrier to ship the unit to you)

*$155 Standard Return Fee

*20% Handling Fee (Note: This fee will be waived if all items are in the original packaging)

I, of course, called customer service to try and get this resolved, but their team was unable to help and then they routed me to another group of support folks via email - who also were unwilling resolve this problem thoughtfully.

I followed up another time and asked to speak with a supervisor to get these egregious fees waived since their weights are not the accurate weight. They said someone may get back to me, but were unsure when.

The customer service experience has been horrible.

And the 100% satisfaction guarantee is obviously a joke.

I would discourage anyone from buying products from Bowflex. It's clear they do not look out for their customers, even longtime customers like myself.

I'm so sorry you ran into difficulty!  It looks like the warranty team has ordered you a new pair of handles at the correct weight.  They will ship within 2 business days - Bowflex Team

Return with only $60 voucher

You made me return the items for an issue and then only gave me a $60 voucher.

Hi, Ashli.  When we issued the recall, we did so on the dumbbells we sold, as well as the ones sold by Nautilus, Inc prior to their bankruptcy.  Those that bought through Nautilus, Inc received a prorated voucher.  The voucher amount was displayed at the time the claim was entered. - Bowflex Team

Great sale

First of all, was a great sale price! The site was very easy to navigate. It took me longer to write this review, than it did to order the revolution.

I live in Southeast Alaska

I live in Southeast Alaska, even if shipping wont go as far as our state, we have e a Barge system, "freight forwarding". But reasoning behind not fulfilling my order is it was like shipping to a company and not an individual, but same could be said about using UPS. Second it might void the warranty, even though its their job like any other shipping company, as well as anyone who accepts a package accepts the condition it arrived in. I was excited to finally buy one of these, but feel let down without any solid reasoning that I believe should prevent my purchase, and a special circumstance or someone willing to work with me to help me purchase this home gym setup would be great, rather than a supervisor saying no without trying to go higher in the chain to figure out if the buck stops there.

I'm so sorry to hear you ran into difficulty.  It looks like you spoke to a sales rep, so they would have up to date information.  I will pass this on as feedback so that the company is aware of the issue. - Bowflex Team
