How long do Bowflex ties usually last?

You will have to do a lot of searching to find someone who has a complaint about the craftsmanship of the Bowflex equipment line. That is not to say that no one has ever had a problem, only that they are few and far between.

The only problem the Bowflex machines seem to have had was in 04 when there were some doubts about the bench and the side tower. It appears that both were prone to breaking or losing and falling, leaving users at risk of injury. Nautilus was quick to offer free upgrades for all units on the street and a recall of more than 400,000 units. They quickly backed this up by doubling down on all existing warranties, as well as the warranty on the new models. They did this to reassure the consumer of their commitment to excellence.

After extensive research on the subject, it seems that, except in a few rare cases, Bowflex bows or power bars almost never break. They are made from a special composite material that Bowflex trusts so much that they have offered a free lifetime replacement warranty for broken or bent bows.

People who have had the rare bow break issue report that customer service was very easy to work with and all warranties were kept 100%. The new rods were shipped immediately with no questions asked.

When it comes to the safety and durability of your equipment, Bowflex manufacturers are wasting no time. Solid construction that’s backed by a no-nonsense warranty is hard to come by these days, yet Nautilus has nailed it with the Bow Flex line of equipment.
