Bowflex PR3000 Home Gym Features and Specifications

Bowflex PR3000 uses so-called "No-change cable pulley system" with maximum 210 pounds of Power Rod resistance. Power rods may be upgraded to 310 pounds - if you are used to weights, at first power rods will feel somewhat 'odd', but it takes just few reps to get accustomed to the power rod resistance feeling.

- Multi-use Hand-Grip/Ankle Cuffs designed to add flexibility and performance to any workout,

- Workout Placard displays workout descriptions for easy reference while you're exercising,
