I think they are pretty good. Especially for building stabilizing muscles. People that can usually bench a lot of weight, have problems benching even a little (at first) on the bowflex, because its just..different. Your arms can get pulled sideways, up, down, or diagonally so your stabilizing muscles really need to work. You can move from one excercise to another really quickly. But the biggest reason i like it is because you can do rowing.
