Is BowFlex legit?

Short answer: yes, BowFlex is a real store, and our score is 3.9 out of 5. The main caveat: returns cost $155 shipping plus a fee of up to 20%.

It sells adjustable dumbbells, home gyms, treadmills, bikes and accessories through its own website, bowflex.com. Public ratings: Trustpilot (bowflex.com) 3.8 (2,797). Returns: Full product refund or credit within 30 days of delivery, minus freight; returns carry $155 return shipping and a processing fee of up to 20%.

Our take: legitimate, but read the downsides below before you buy.

Quality

BowFlex holds 3.8 from about 2,800 Trustpilot reviews. Reviewers often describe the equipment as durable, and some praise the white-glove delivery. Product complaints center on replacement parts priced close to a new machine.

Price and value

Accessories start under $40, adjustable dumbbells cost a few hundred dollars and machines up to $2,999. Sales took up to $1,200 off with free shipping when we checked, so wait for one before buying a machine.

Shipping and returns

Many machines and dumbbells ship free under current offers, and orders leave the warehouse within five days. Returns are possible within 30 days of delivery but cost $155 in return shipping plus a processing fee of up to 20%, so be sure before you order.

Customer service

BowFlex replies to most negative reviews, usually within a week. The common complaints are unreturned calls, promised callbacks that didn't happen and slow repairs.
