Has anyone had any experience of using the Sears Life Flex Gym system? If
so, how does it compare to alternatives such as the Bowflex in terms of
quality and range of exercises? Is it possible to get results comparable to
those obtainable from going to a health club?

Oh quite far in advance of that! You’ll be lucky to still fit in your
house. I mean the bowflex will get you hyooge but this little miracle will
make you simply gargantuan by simply sitting on it. Its just unholy what
these new machines can do. Where is a priest when you need one? The devil
lives in this mini-miracle! No other method even holds a candle to this.

I was under the impression that the muscular spirit dwelling within its
bowells was defeated by Ahhnold in “end of days” but no, now its back and
walking the earth at Sears ™! The horror, the horror —from the heart
of HYOOOJ-Ness I cry. For if you use this even if for a day, those to who
the muscle clings too fiercely today will seem puny and be humiliated
before the public mind and eyes on the morrow.

You will get out of the Bowflex what you put into it. Very similar to
freeweights(or anything else) in this regard. The Bowflex happens to
hit all the major muscle groups where other machines may not. Do your
homework and make your best choice. This forum will preach freeweights
to you as you will can witness in the responses to your question.

As a general rule if you want to get “fit” the Bowflex is not a good
choice. It’s very similar to nautilus if not the same thing. If you
want to get hyuuuuge then go for freeweights.

O’ let us worship at the “flexular altar” for one day with enough pulling,
tweaking, yanking and bending you shall be like unto the those who dwell
in the magical infomercial kingdom and the goddess “sqwhatt” shall be laid
low on the chalk dusted iron strewn platform floor of perdition!! Verily I
say unto thee, have mercy or we who are strong today shall wail and throw
ashes upon our accursed heads tommorrow for not following the rubber star
of deliverance.
