  • Number of Electronic Functions 8
  • 4.5 mph speed
  • Resistance 12 settings
  • Speed 0.5 - 4.5 mph
  • Number/Type of LCD Readout(s) Large Window
Faster Speed - One of the complaints on lower end models is that they only go up to 3.8 or 4.0 MPH. The Bowflex Treadclimber TC6000 goes up to 4.5 MPH which is a huge improvement and can help you burn more calories with faster workouts. Higher Stability - The Treadclimber 6000 has a more solid feel than the other models. The assembled weight is a whopping 350 lbs (compared to the TC5000 with a 180 lb assembled weight). It feels much more like a health club machine. Plus the deck is longer with more built in support. Advanced Backlit LCD Console - This is the most largest and most advanced console of all the Treadclimber models and is easy to read with 18 electronic functions. Bowflex AdvantageTM - This is only found on the TC6000. The Advantage feature tracks the total workout volume, your last 5 Fitness Tests, and weight loss progress for up to 5 users. This is a great option if you're going to have multiple users. 12 Built-In Workout Programs - The TC6000 comes with 12 built in workout programs including Manual, Plateau, Cross Training, Intervals, The Brooklyn Bridge, The Golden Gate Bridge, and Heart Rate Control. (Workout programs are not offered on other models). Ergo Bar With Remote Controls - This comes with Remote Operating Controls that let you adjust speed while working out.

About Home Gyms
While offering the convenience of working out in the comfort and privacy of your own home, home gyms also allow you to focus on specific routines without having to wait in line or switch between a complex array of machines. In addition to improving strength, power, coordination, and muscular endurance, weight training can enhance weight reduction, enhance the immune and cardiovascular systems, and help prevent injuries. In general, home gym machines are compact units designed to strengthen and exercise many parts of the body. While no single home gym can provide a complete strength training solution, they are a convenient way to combine many exercises into a single unit. Some home gyms focus exclusively on upper-body workouts, while other, more advanced units focus on upper- and lower-body conditioning.

Manufacturer's Warranty

PowerBlock Classic Adjustable Dumbbell Set

PowerBlock Classic Adjustable Dumbbell Set Review



PowerBlock Classic Adjustable Dumbbell Set Feature

  • Pair of adjustable dumbbell weights for efficient, cost-effective strength training
  • Adjusts from 5 to 45 pounds in 5-pound increments (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 pounds)
  • Selector pin lets you change weights easily, just like with weight stack at the gym
  • More compact and balanced than traditional dumbbells; padded handle for wrist protection
  • Offers maximum weight of 45 pounds per hand; limited 10-year warranty
The only dumbbell system that can expand to meet your strength needs, PowerBlock dumbbells are the most versatile and effective exercise tool ever developed for strength training. PowerBlocks work intuitively. Rather than requiring you to buy a room full of dumbbells, PowerBlocks act just like a weight stack at the gym, with a weight handle that fits inside the first weight, which fits inside the second, which fits inside the third, etc. When you want to change weights, you simply move the weight selector pin into the appropriate slot and you're set. As you lift the core, all the weights above the selector pin are lifted at the same time, turning your 3-pound dumbbell into a 6-pound dumbbell, or your 6-pound dumbbell into a 12-pound dumbbell. Not only is the system remarkably easy to use, but it's also cost- and space-efficient, as a single pair of dumbbells can do the work of dozens.

This pair of 45x5 dumbbells, for instance, adjusts from 5 to 45 pounds in 5-pound increments (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 pounds), in effect doing the job of 18 individual weights. Even better, the weights are more compact and balanced than traditional dumbbells, with a padded handle that protects people with weak wrists. Best of all, the free weights are terrific whether you're trying to build muscle mass, firm and tone your physique, or get rid of unwanted body fat. The adjustable set offers a maximum weight of 45 pounds per hand and carries a limited 10-year warranty.

This set adjusts from 5-45 lbs in 5 lb increments (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 lbs) in each hand. This set has a maximum weight of 45 lbs per hand. It replaces 9 pair or 18 fixed dumbbells that would have a combined weight of 450 lbs.

Bowflex TreadClimber TC20

Bowflex TreadClimber TC20 Review



Bowflex TreadClimber TC20 Feature

  • The G.O. CoachTM console is an interactive program that interacts with the user to establish goals, monitor progress and compare results
  • Personalize your workout with customizable goal-oriented programming
  • G.O. CoachTM technology delivers customized programming for two users and goal progress displays
  • 3 Landmark challenges to keep you energized just like being monitored by a personal trainer
  • Set, monitor, and track personal fitness goals - and improvements
Work out smarter and more efficiently with the top-of-the-line TreadClimber TC20, which comes with five standard workouts and three "landmark" workouts to raise your heart rate quickly.


The Bowflex dual treadle system.
The TC20 delivers an impressively low-impact fitness routine that's easy on your joints. As a result, your "perceived exertion" is incredibly low. That means you'll burn more calories on a TreadClimber than you would with other cardio machines, but won't feel as tired when you're done. You'll get the effects--and the results--without feeling the fatigue. A University of Wisconsin study indicates that TreadClimber technology lets you burn up to 3.5 times the calories in the same amount of time as with other cardio machines.



The TC20 burns up to 3.5x more calories in the same amount of time as other cardio machines.
The secret to the TreadClimber TC20 is Bowflex's unique dual treadle system, which offers the benefits of three machines in one. In Action 1, the TC20 performs like a treadmill, with belts that move as you walk forward. In Action 2, the TC20 mimics a stair climber, with two independent treadles that move up and down. When you combine these actions, you get the third machine: an elliptical trainer that provides a smooth, low-impact motion. Cardio training on the TreadClimber TC20 not only helps you lose weight, but it also increases your energy level, improves your bone density, increases HDLs (the "good" cholesterol), reduces back pain, and makes you leaner.

The TreadClimber TC20 comes equipped with a fully backlit LCD display that monitors your speed, distance, time, calories, and heart rate. The machine also offers two personalized user profiles, with custom distance, calories, or time goals (the goals reset weekly). The profiles interact with the TC20's G.O. Coach console to establish targets, track progress, and compare results. And the TC20 helps maximize your workout efficiency thanks to its wireless heart rate monitor, which keeps you in your target heart rate zone. Other features include an instant Quick Start feature, an ergonomic console that provides easy access to water bottles and magazines, a speed range of 0.5 to 4.5 miles per hour, extra-long foot treadles, transport wheels for easy mobility, and a Bowflex body weight loss plan.

The TreadClimber is also available in entry-level TC5 and midrange TC10 models.

Specifications

  • Speed range: 0.5 to 4.5 mph
  • Electronic functions: Speed, distance, time, calories, and HR
  • Dimensions: 31.5 by 55.25 by 55 inches (W x H x D)
  • Minimum ceiling height: The treadles are 17 inches off the floor at their highest point. Add 17 inches to your height plus a couple of inches for clearance.
  • Capacity: 300 pounds
  • Weight: 217 pounds
  • Warranty: 3 years

Perform all your favorite dumbbell exercises without taking up an entire corner of your garage with dumbbell storage with the Weider Core adjustable Select-a-Weight set. Each Select-a-Weight dumbbell adjusts from 10 to 50 pounds in 5-pound increments, in effect giving you nine pairs of dumbbells in the space of one. All told, the Select-a-Weight requires the storage space of an end table, with a tray and stand that hold your weights at an easy-access height. The Select-a-Weight set is also easy to use: simply adjust the selector to your preferred weight, lock it in, and lift. Now you can quickly perform bicep supersets or drop weight for your fifth shoulder press, all without buying an entire set of individual dumbbells. Weider 100 lb Adjustable Select-A-Weight Set
