8. Bowflex Xtreme 2SE Home Gym
This home gym is truly superb! With over 70 different exercises for you to choose from (including with a squat bar) whilst also being compact. As well as this, Bowflex also give you the chance to upgrade the resistance even more if you feel the standard weights are too light.
The normal weight set is 95KG/210lbs so it will cater for a wide range of exercises. One real advantage of the Bowflex Xtreme 2SE is that you do not need to change the cable pulley system when moving from one exercise to the next. Saving time and energy.
The only downside we can find it that it does need assembling when it arrives. Well worth it though once it is set up! Check Price on Amazon Here.
