How to Upgrade the Rods on My Bowflex

The patented composite power rods are what provide resistance when you work out on your Bowflex home gym. With many models of Bowflex, it is possible to upgrade your power rods to add more resistance to your machine. More resistance will enhance your workouts and help you develop more lean muscle mass. Ordering and installing new Bowflex power rods is not complicated.

Step 1

Visit the Bowflex website or phone the toll free number at 1-800-952-7205 to order new power rods. Scroll to the bottom of the main page, click "Accessories" and then click on the power rod image to order online.

Step 2

Remove the screws that are located at the back of the base of the power rod pack on your Bowflex.

Step 3

Remove the plugs covering the extra holes in the base. Slide the new power rods into the base, lining up the slots on the rods with the ridges in the holes.

Step 4

Secure the bottom of the power rod with the screw provided, then replace the power rod assembly.

Tips and Warnings

  • Ensure the power rod is securely in the base before you begin to work out.
