I assembled this Bowflex in less than two hours without any difficulty. The build quality is very good and the manual is rich with information for configuring a work-out. After one week of use however I regret my purchase. This unit's maximum resistance cannot be upgraded. It's rated for 210 lbs but it doesn't even come close to that free-weight equivalent. The resistance numbers are arbitrary. For example the resistance of a combination of a 30 lb and a 20 lb rod feels half as heavy as a 50lb rod. I am athletic but not massive and I could bench the entire "210 lbs". Biceps curls and triceps pushdowns are fine. For leg exercises the weight is inadequate period.
This machine offers aerobic activity in addition to strength training. It just doesn't offer the resistance for body building. That said using this machine has convinced me that Bowflex and resistance technology could offer a good strength workout just not in this limited configuration. I recommend the PR3000.
