I own a bowflex and used it religiously for about a year (a year that I had no gym membership). Once I coudl afford it again I joined a gym. Not that I didn't like the Bowflex, and I did get pretty cut up on it. There is just no subsitute for free weights (at least for me). I love lifting free weights. The Bowflex is a good substitute if you can't get to the gym for a couple weeks to at least do something, but you won't make the same kind of strength gains.
