Thought I'd get y'alls opinion on this. I saw the infomercial this morning and am thinking of buying it. I HATE strength training and I especially hate doing it at the gym -so I never do. I can get all my cardio without going to the gym, but if this thing works, it could solve a big problem for me. It's easy to set up and switch from exercise to exercise. What do you guys think? Gimmick? Too good to be true? Infomercial Junk? Or actually useful?

Oh yeah, I saw this on TV. It looked pretty cool. I think any equipment is worth it as long as you use it.

Do they give you a 30 day try it and if you don't like it send it back? That might be something to consider, but check out the shipping charges b/c I believe you'll have to pay shipping to and fro if you don't like it.

This product is pretty new so I'm not sure if you'll get many answers. Try doing a google on it and see if you get any reviews.

good luck !!

ok - I am an ebay and online shopping addict. I almost pressed buy it now! Decided to talk to hubby first :-). Looks pretty cool though - as long as it doesn't stay under the bed it fits under.

It looks cool but what I really love is that it's $14.95 and shipping and handling is $45.00 Who is shipping and from where for $45?

Didn't it say it cost $279?

What was it on e-bay?

I was looking at this the other night. Do the bands come with it? Under accessories, it appears that the bands might come separately. On the purchase page, it says Main Unit. Makes me wonder. Anyone know what actually comes with this? There are so many extra bands you can order.. I wonder if the original ones are weak and you soon have to buy more heavy duty ones.

yep Sus - that's what I was noticing, too. I couldn't tell what it actually came with. I saw the additional bands. It does look kind of cool though for those that don't have tons of extra space.

It seems ridiculous, but the thing does weigh 20+ pounds, so maybe that's why.

A very valid point

It says on the main page that you get the bench, a comfort mat (whatever that is), 18 bands, 4 handles, t-bar, v-strap, DVD and exercise chart.

I can't decide whether this thing is totally cool or a total rip off.

Resistance bands can do wonders...the thing is you have to use them, and you have to know HOW to use them. Watching the little commercial for it on their page I saw many moves that are done in the body scuplt class at the gym I work at. From reading on the site it looks like you can change the resistance form starting at 5lbs to up to around 120 lbs by using multiple bands on the same pull. Thats pretty good, you can buy more bands as you progress.
