had on job injury in lower back and knees from miltary over 25 year in u.s. Postal service my Knee's got worse and I have not been able too work out for 2 years with this I can work upper body with kittle stress to lowwer area i.e. lower back&knees.

I thought long and hard about purchasing this "private trainer gym". To me, Its good for starting some body weight exercises. While you can do much of the exercises with alternatives, like two chairs spaced apart for dips or a chin bar mounted in a doorway for pull ups, I found the combination of functions, design features and portability to be excellent for my needs, giving me a variety of exercise options in one piece of equipment.. Alternative standalone chin/dip bars (normally around this price range) are huge eye sores and don't include the aerobic step exercise or ballet bar type functionality, and they can't be easily folded up for moving up stairs or hidden away for storage in a closet.

I returned this item because of skeptical reviews. I not only wasn't refunded the first of my flexpays, but was charged for the others as well. Ditto, for another item ordered at the same time.

This is a very nice, basic piece of equipment that allows you to perform so many different exercises. Very well made and stable. The wall chart is great and the DVD instruction is very easy to follow along. It may not be fancy, but it is awesome!

I love this workout trainer. It is a great addition to my already extensive collection of workout equipment. I love to workout and do it often. This trainer offers me versatility. I'm always looking for new ways to shake up my routine and confuse my muscles. Ingenious idea. I'm very happy with it. As another customer said, I'm having a lot of fun with it. Thank you, Tony and HSN!
