A video review of the Bowflex M5 trainer. I'll point out the likes and dislikes of the product.

IMO, it the best product for quick 14 minutes workout and still lose weight and have fun at it.

This product is way better than my old elliptical machine given it's not hard on the knees and joints. It's also way better than the impact of treadmills from the lower back and knees which I have also.

The M5 is like climbing stairs while skiing at the same time with this machine for a better way to state it.

For the advertised 14 minute workouts, you really will get to sweat (this is a good thing). Less long stride helps lessen the pain in the knees with the Max trainer.

There is some rubber roller wheel squeaking sound if you passed 25 on the tachometer on the unit but it's not that noticeable once you use it more. I don't see it as that loud but I do hear it.

No pain no gain, all my muscles are sore, and once starting initially I had to build up my strength to even last the 14 mins. It takes sweat and commitment to make it happen. Once you are there, just increase resistance to get an even better workout.

IMO, here's how I started, do a few mins until you have enough strength for that 14mins. It advertises that it takes 10 weeks to lose weight, it could be true but you will definitely need to keep on using this unit. It uses interval method with heart rate to burn not just calories like other equipment.

It's worth the investment for our family.

The M5 is worth the money and I would buy it again. I think the M7 is probably best if you want everything to be more perfect in material and built quality.

I paid the MSRP with free shipping. I received the shipping in California in 1 week from Oregon with FedEx Ground.

Bowflex does have offers on finance.

Special reference on Installation (the helped me while I was uncleared on the manual):

Please watch the video and help me with the thumbs up.

Update: Over 7 weeks, I'm able to lose 7lbs so far. I'm only using the basic MAX program. Love this product still.
