rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mmtampabay - I've seen reviews compare the Ultimate to the Ultimate 2. You can't compare them. In my opinion, they should have given this model an entirely new name - it's that superior. I owned a standard Bowflex for several years, and although I liked it, I...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author buzzterrier - I started using a elliptical trainer at work, and wanted to get one for home.
