What is the BowFlex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym?

The BowFlex Xtreme 2 SE is a compact home gym system that uses Power Rod resistance technology to provide a full-body workout. Unlike traditional weight stacks, the Power Rods offer a unique resistance experience that reduces inertia, helping you rely on strength — not momentum — to complete each exercise. This fluid resistance makes your workouts safer, reducing the risk of joint pain, and more effective, as you are consistently challenged throughout each exercise.

What Makes the Xtreme 2 SE Unique?

  • It's an all-in-one experience. At the gym, you'd typically move between multiple machines to hit every muscle group. With this home gym, you can find your inner strength and complete over 70 different strength building exercises in one compact machine, targeting your chest, core, arms, upper back, lower back, and legs.
  • It's thoughtfully designed. The X2SE's no-change cable pully system lets you transition between exercises without changing cables, so you can save time and stay in the flow of your workout. Plus, 5-way hand grips and ankle cuffs add customization to your workouts for better form and comfort.
  • It's a full-body workout.
    • The Lat Tower with Angled Lat Bar targets your back and shoulder muscles.
    • The 4-position lower pully/squat station engages your glutes, hamstrings, and quads.
    • The leg extension attachment tones and builds lower body strength.
    • The ab crunch shoulder harness helps activate and strengthen your core.
    • Optional add-ons like the Preacher Curl Attachment and the Tricep Rope expand your upper body training potential.
  • It's built to grow with you. Start with 210 lbs of Power Rod resistance and upgrade to 310 or even 410 lbs as you progress—perfect for beginner strength trainers and advanced lifters alike.
  • It's space saving. Tight on space? No problem. The X2SE's efficient 53” L x 49” W x 83.25” H footprint is ideal for smaller home gym spaces.
