Looks like a knock off of the Total Gym which is much better quality than Weider but at a higher price as well....

I find it curious how most of the people have this for less than a week and write a glowing 5 star evaluation. That's just insane with a piece of exercise equipment.

From experience you can't put any exercise equipment directly on a wood floor or you're asking for trouble. Either put it on a rubber mat or a rug with a rubber backing.

yeah, I was going to put a mat on but I'm not sure if this makes a lot of noise...doesn't appear to though.

can anyone give me a reason not to get it, looking to get rid of the expensive gym membership.

No reason not to get it. Pick up this, some cheap dumbbells as well at Walmart and you're good to go.

I picked up some Gold's Gym Dumbbells for cheap there that are very good quality and they were about $20 a kit (bought 2).

Gym membership fees lately are just too much for me. Cheapest around here is between $30-$50 a month....no thanks!

I've had this for the past year. It has done it's job strengthening my upper body to the point where I can now do my own pull-ups, dips and pushups as my exercise routine. So after a year, I use it hardly ever. Sad to say but before the weider, I couldn't do one pullup or more than a couple of dips. My only knock on the unit is that the bench does not slide smoothly on the track. It is not ball-bearing or anything like that--just rubber wheels.

btw, got mine from amazon where it has been about the same price for the past year or two.
