Dr. Gadget,
I’ve had my eye on this since they were first shown on tv. I love to walk, but with all the crime in the news, my husband doesn’t want me out there alone. I have osteoarthritis and need to keep moving. Regular treadmills just don’t cut it for me and I can’t afford to buy the bowflex right now.
Please help keep me in shape.
Christine

Dear Dr Gadget, LOVE the compactness of a complete workout machine like this. I was High Schools sport & outdoor activities of all kinds growing up. Always active I worked average of 70 hours a week making screen doors & on weekends put in extra hrs plus cleaned the office. I became a single parent at age 25 continued in physical jobs. As a carpenters assistant I did a 300 sq cubic foot cement pour. In my early 30’s it was 9 hrs a day, 6 days a week, every other week, in a lumber mill where I pulled on a green chain. I fell off the wagon the past 10 yrs. I am self-motivated & can only succeed at working out alone. This BOWFLEX TC 5000 is Ideal to people like me. I LOVE to rah rah rah You these three times for YOUR GENIUOS of thinking of such a complete way, to work us more! I can see in my head creative arm movements to enhance the workout. Thank you for turning the light of hope on as I am 45 & you have motivated me.

My old treadmill gave out and I really need an exercise machine. It really helps me keep the weight off.

I wish I could have a machine like this I have a three level fusion and I am gaining weight and the extra pounds are starting to effect my health.

Nana needs to exercise, could you help? Would love to enjoy this new machine!

Dear Dr. Gadget,
It is my sincere desire that you choose me as one of the recipients of the Bowflex TreadClimber. I have wanted this particular machine since it first premiered on TV several years ago and have not been able to afford it. I am currently unemployed and have been living back at my mom’s house since June, as I lived in another city previously. We are both really trying hard to lose weight, all the while we are renovating our home, with the hope of making the spare room into a guest/fitness room. On top of all this, we just (day before Thanksgiving) became legal guardians of a one month baby girl. She is my cousin’s daughter, and my cousin is unfit as she is a strung out heroin addict. She is a truly amazing baby and she is getting stronger everyday, though she still needs pretty constant attention, as all newborns do. I cannot afford a gym membership right now and working out outside is not an option, as I don’t really feel comfortable doing that in my neighborhood. Working out in home would be the ideal alternative for both my mom and myself, as she has about 150 lbs to lose and I have about 100 lbs to lose. Please consider us, it would be such a tremendous blessing to us; elliptical machines and treadmills were always my favorite machines at the gym (when I use to have a membership) and I know that the Tread Climber is a kind of fusion of both.

Dr. Gadget,

Me again (Linda - bariatric surgery prsn). Meant to also add that I can’t afford the Bowflex (on a limited budget). Having surgery because I am tired of feeling self-conscious about my weight, and I do not want to put my friends and especially my grandchildren in a position of being embarrassed or teased because of my weight.

Dr. Gadget,

I am in the final approval stage for bariatric surgery. This machine could go a long way toward helping me get the life I have wanted for years. I pretty much stay home at the moment. With the surgery and the machine, I could be working down the pounds in the privacy of my home. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Being a student, mom, wife, and working close to full time, there is no way i’m able to afford a gym or find the time to get some good old workout in my routine. I just need something to do at home.

Dr. Gadget,

The Bowflex 5000 TC would transform my life from one that is headed to early morbidity to one of longevity! PLEASE
choose me MORBIDLY OBESE IN MARYLAND?

Sincerely,
Mak

Last Sunday was birthday number “70”! I do water aerobics 3 days a week but I need to keep my circulation in tiptop shape. I need to walk. It’s the recommended exercise by my doctor to help my oxygen levels high.

I am raising a 5 year old. Nothing gives you the needed energy, better, faster than exercise.

Dr. Gadget, As a person entering my 26th year of MS, I believe this is something that would really benefit me. I was told early in the beginning of having MS that walking would be a perfect exercise for me. I have found that I am unable to walk for any long distance of time. My Dr. of Neurology suggested I use an Iliptical. I really don’t have the money to afford this piece of equipment. Having a Bowflex in my Home would be just perfect to receive the proper exercise befitting my condition. I am asking, PLEASE Dr. Gadget, allow me to be one of the three to receive one of your Bowflex Machines. I would be most grateful and very much appreciative. Thank You and Have a Happy Holiday!!!!! Joanne

Dr. Gadget, I really need this, gained so much weight during the Holidays ;-(

This is a three in one. After having back and neck surgery, I am now sble to hit the gym again. I gained 40lbs and can’t seem to go back. I guess I don’t want everyone to see me fat. It’s snowing here in Oregon, so this would be the perfect excerise equipment to get me ready for spring. I would so happy if I was to win one.
Linda

This would be the BOMB!! I would love to win this. I am starting my journey to changing my eating & exercising life. I need to get healthy for me!

This would definetly help fine tune the whole family

How do I enter for the Bowflex, I am already registered as an extra friend.

I would love to win a BowFlex. I have done some research on it and love it. I can’t afford it, but would love to have one. This would be a great Christmas present for/to myself.

Both my husband and I need to lose weight and have had difficulty. I have had back surgery so there are a lot of exercises that I am unable to do but walking is the best for me. My husband carries his weight around his middle, is 50 lbs overweight and this has become a major health issue. We would love to win this.

Bowflex it looks like you’ve nailed it again. Total body workout on steroids!
