Equipment advice

Hello, I am looking to buy a home gym. I am considering either a Body Craft K1 or a Bowflex Ultimate 2. Does anyone have advice on either of these products. One is power rod technology and the other is cable stack technology. Both cost about the same. Any advice is very much appreciated. Thank you.

I recommend free weights!!! Check this out...

This is my setup:
Body-solid multi-press rack ($349). Free shipping at fitness factory.
bench ($299) . Free shipping at fitness factory.
300lb + 2x45lb oly set ($169). Purchased locally.
Stability ball: $24. Purchased locally.
Jump Rope: $8.99. Purchased locally.
Powerblocks Elite 5-90lb w/stand: about $600-700 (bank statement says $417, but that doesn't sound right, but I'm not saying anything) . Purchased locally.

I'm still well under $2000, the cost of the K1.

I still need to get some rubber matting, a step platform and a foam roller, but I'll have something much more flexible, effective and expandable than either of your options. To add to mine, all I need to buy is 45lbs plates and/or the 8-11 plates for the powerblocks.


Do some more more research, look around more. You can do much better for less than than the cost of a Bowflex or lever action machine.
