The Bowflex Blaze and the PR1000 are two home gym models from Bowflex. Both machines are designed to give you a full-body workout, and both have a horizontal bench which is a great advantage for traditional chest, abs, and leg exercises. The Blaze offers a wider range of exercises (60 vs 30) and upgradeable resistance. The PR1000 is a great machine too, but if you are serious about your fitness goals then prefer the Bowflex Blaze Home Gym, because you will probably need some extra resistance in the future.
The Bowflex Blaze offers over 60 exercises and 210 lbs of resistance.
The machine comes with 5-year machine warranty. If you are looking for a home gym with a horizontal bench press then the Blaze is a great option.
The PR1000 offers over 30 exercises and 210 lbs of power rod resistance, which is not upgradeable.
