IMHO this is not as great as the Bowflex and some will argue that free weights are better, but this is a decent machine for the price, especially this price.
BACK AT HSN! Item Number: 729-518 Now at $459.95 w/free shipping! Use the 25%off/$100 1st time customer coupon (found at your favorite chubby billfold site) and you get it for $359.95 or 5 flex payments of $71.99. This is the best price I have seen so if anyone wants one of these you better jump on this while it lasts. Descriptions says it includes lat tower w/lat bar. Good Luck.

P.S. You might be able to use eBates or another discount site as well, but I am not sure if that will work with the coupon...

I actually are looking to get a home gym to get back in shape. Can anyone comment on the CrossBow?

I have heard mixed reviews on this. It is a better bargain than the Bowflex although the Bowflex is a better made machine. They work in a similar manner. Some people will bad mouth these machines and advocate free weights, but the bow type machines have their place as well. I would rather buy the Bowflex or if space allowed, free weights, but at this price it is hard to pass this up. There have been quality concerns with this product in the past, but hopefully they have taken customer feedback seriously and worked out the problems. Go here for reviews...

I own the older model and I have not had trouble with it. Recommended.

If you buy this and use it, it will be far better than the free weights you didn't buy and didn't use :) Nice find

I have it. I recommend it as a good machine to get in shape. If you want to look like Arnold or Hulk Hogan, get freeweights and steroids. But if you just want to build an average muscular frame this is good.

Plus those motherf$@%$#@ at HSN have just cut 100 bucks of the price I paid in january with this new coupon and their sale.

Bump for those that didn't see this thread the first time. Deal is still on. If you are considering exercise equipment, this is worth a look.

I couldnt give up the gym, theres just too much eye candy running around. I have a girl friend, and it helps build up for when i get home.
