Hi Soloflex,
I’m a long-time owner and user of Soloflex. I started with the original “Bucksteel” and to my regret left it with a sold house in Texas. I replaced it with a new Soloflex machine and thereafter with a Rockit, weight bench and bells.
Now that I have room in the new house in Florida, I just got your Equipment Organizer and it’s as great as I thought it would be. So, where is the organizer for the plates and hand bells? I have two sets of bells, plates and straps all over the place and need the organization for them. I’d also like to see the compound bar bell and placement rack to come back now that we have a big-enough exercise room.
I know, timing is everything; or “you snooze, you lose,” or something of the sort!
Meantime, thanks for the high quality, functional equipment that’s so basic in function, it never gets obsolete. Cheryl has begun to use the equipment and pound-for-pound may be in better condition than I am. My travel schedule away from home is my excuse for not being in better condition from more regular use.
Give my best to all my friends at Soloflex and special thanks for the Soloflex sweatshirt you sent with my last order!

Hello all,
Just purchased a 1980-82 SOLOFLEX!
Wow, what a great machine. I foolishly gave away my 1st machine to a neighbor. But this 1 is my pride and joy. I am sitting here just looking at it and welcoming it to our house. It is amazing! I travelled 300 miles round trip today to pick it up and had a smile on my face every mile, what a find!
Thanks for wonderful service every time I call SOLOFLEX, the receptionist are the best!
I hope I can someday visit SOLOFLEX and thank Mr. and Ms. Wilson and the employees personally for manufacturing this amazing work of art.
Thanks,
Rob McHale

Whomever:
While working out yesterday on my Soloflex, it occurred to me that I should pass along to you my gratitude for and praise of your machine.
I bought my used Soloflex 20 years ago from a neighbor and have put it through a one-or-two-hour, upper and lower body workout three times a week almost every week since then, vacations and illness excepted. I was 54 years old then, and I am 74 now. I am 5-foot-9, 160 pounds, have a 32-inch waist, significant biceps, triceps, abs, pecs, thighs and calves, and I attribute most of that to your long-lasting, reliable, easy-to-use device. My only cost during those 20 years has been new bands. I would send you a picture, but unlike the Soloflex, the use of photos on the computer is a technique that eludes me.

Dear Jerry Wilson,
Just thought I’d drop you a note to let you know that I still have the original machine I bought from you in ’78 or ’79, don’t recall which. I’m now 65 and still using the machine 3 times a week. I’m not doing the same intensity of workouts but still able to shovel snow for 6 hours without any back pains or muscle aches afterward, which I did this last storm that dropped 2 ft. of snow on us.
I also have the WVB bench as well.
Keep up the good work .
Sincerely,
Joe Fallon

Nice blog. I enjoy reading people’s stories about them and their Soloflex-es.

I like reading and hearing other satisfied Soloflex users stories. I am planning to write mine down and send it in soon. I’m having too much fun going through the site and blog archives at the moment to do it at the moment.
Having had a Soloflex myself, I honestly don’t see how anyone could be anything but satisfied with your machine. The original Muscle Machine is one of the most well made and best designed pieces of home exercise equipment I have ever seen. Not only that, but it’s very pleasing to the eye as well. Other home gyms look… well… the good ones, like exercise equipment; the bad ones, like cheap garbage. Some of them look like accidents just waiting to happen. Soloflex is beautiful. Even the welded models have a smoothness about them. And they deliver results too. Within a month of getting mine, I noticed my body changing. Within two months, my friends and family were noticing. Within three months, total strangers were complimenting me on my physique. Buying a Soloflex was one of the best purchases I have ever made.
