A Product Comparison Study
The Body Beam® vs. NordicFlex Gold© and Soloflex©

Summary

The Body Beam® is neat and efficient in appearance. The major advantage is that it is very easy to use and provides a quality workout.

Equipment: The Body Beam© consists of a padded seat, frame and padded cushion for use in the various exercises. The consumer does not have to worry about pins, pulleys, cords, or bands. All that is required is a simple adjustment of the angle of The Body Beam® to increase or decrease the difficulty of the exercise. Since both the NordicFlex Gold© and Soloflex© required numerous adjustments to complete recommended exercises, the time spent on adjusting The Body Beam® and completing the exercises is significantly less.

Exercise Programs: The Body Beam® is capable of 18 strength-training exercises (now 25) as well as an aerobic conditioning capability. The Body Beam® provides exercises, that serve to strengthen both lower and upper body muscle groups. Due to the limited number of adjustments, the Body Beam® lends itself to performing the exercises in a "circuit training fashion."
