Our take on the Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym

The Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE is a compact rod-resistance home gym that supports 70+ exercises from one frame, including a lat tower and a 4-position lower pulley/squat station. Its no-change cable pulley system lets you switch between pressing and pulling exercises without rerouting cables. It ships with 210 lb of Power Rod resistance, upgradeable to 310 lb and 410 lb with accessory purchases. It stands 83.25 in tall and 63 in long, so it needs a room with high ceilings and roughly a 5 ft by 4 ft footprint.

Questions and answers

Is the Xtreme 2 SE worth it?
It is a good fit if you want full-body cable-style training in a compact space and prefer rod resistance over plates. If you need heavy compound lifting above 210 lb, a rack and barbell will serve you better.
How does it compare to the Bowflex Revolution?
The Revolution uses a SpiraFlex plate system and offers more resistance and a wider range of motion, but it costs considerably more and takes up more space. The Xtreme 2 SE is simpler and cheaper, with rod resistance capped at 210 lb as shipped.
How much resistance does it come with?
It ships with 210 lb of Power Rod resistance, adjustable from 5 to 105 lb per side in 5 lb increments. Bowflex sells upgrade kits to reach 310 lb and 410 lb.
How much space do I need?
The frame is 83.25 in tall, 63 in long and 49 in wide, so you need high ceilings and about a 5 ft by 4 ft clear area. Leave extra room around it for the bars and squat station.
What is included in the box?
You get multi-grip hand/foot grips, standard hand grips, a 50 in curved lat bar, a 48 in six-grip straight bar, two straight bar straps and an ab crunch harness. The rods and frame are included; resistance upgrades are sold separately.
When is it cheapest?
Bowflex home gyms typically see the deepest discounts during Black Friday and New Year fitness sales. Check the price history on this page before buying outside those windows.
