How does the V4 Elite compare with the Bowflex Xtreme?

The Hoist uses a plate-loaded-style articulating press arm with a more gym-like feel, while the Bowflex relies on rods and a larger exercise library. The Hoist is the pick for pressing feel; the Bowflex for variety.

Can the press arm be adjusted for different users?

Yes. The arm adjusts range of motion and starting position, so shorter and taller users can set their own pressing path.

Does it include a leg extension and leg curl?

Yes. The leg station handles seated leg extensions and leg curls, with roller pads that self-align to leg length.

What comes in the box?

A pair of adjustable strap handles, aluminum curl bar, aluminum lat bar, fleece knee strap, fleece ankle strap and ab strap.

How much floor space does it need?

It is a compact all-in-one unit, but leave clearance around the press arm and leg station for full range of motion.

Is it good for beginners?

Yes. The guided press arm and leg station make form easier to learn than free weights, though the adjustment settings take some practice.
