Quick set up – Light weight. Ready out of the box. The bands connected easily and I was on it in less than a minute. A bit of a "sliding" noise while using it as expected, but not loud or disruptive. So far I've been able to use it while I read a book or play a game on my phone (without the bands), or watch TV while using the bands, usually for about 45 minutes. Is it the same as going to the gym? Probably not. BUT I'm moving more (especially during typically lazy activities), I can feel a hint of soreness in multiple muscle groups without it being unbearable or affect my ability to move around the next day, and it gets my heart rate up quickly and maintains it. Easy to get on and off if I need to, and I can make it more difficult or target different areas by adjusting my stance. The tension in the bands is good to just rotate through a few different movements to work upper arms. My husband is 6'4, 260# and got right on with no issues as well (but did use a table while stepping on). I'd suggest having something to hold on to while first using it if balance may be an issue, and wearing athletic shoes makes it more comfortable. Fantastic for the price!

Works well but has a learning curve on how to step on and off it without killing yourself. No instructions are included so you have to basically do it by trial and error. You have to make sure it is pushed all the way to the one side when stepping on and off. Once you figure it out, it is really easy to use.

One step set up. Easy and fun to use while watching tv. The resistance bands are good quality and really work my arms. I also like to do a plank with my arms on the board to increase abdominal strength.

I like it a lot. I don’t use the arm bands very much, I use light 2-3 lb weights for more range in motion. I don’t really know if this is going to help my thunder thighs or not, but it’s fun and I enjoy using it while watch tv.
I think this would also be a good stemming exercise for someone at a standing desk or a kid in classroom. If you can’t sit still, this is a great ADHD tool. I use it at my counter bar in the kitchen while working on my computer. If I get clearance to use it in my office, I’ll get a second one for work.

It is not as invigorating as the ad looks. It went together easily as the only thing that needed to be attached are the two lines. I have had both knees replaced and thought this would be a good source of exercise. It really isn’t though as it made my hips hurt instead. I have used it 3 times now. Make sure you have shoes on with it. I did the last two with shoes on and it was better. I went for over a mile hike yesterday and then did the machine. It seemed better after warming up. It was reasonable for the money, and it appears well built. The lines are long and I put a knot in them to shorten them while using it.

Needed to add another part to my workout and the price, size, and functionality made it the perfect choice. Good way to work the mid section of you waist line. It’s great to help with balance.

Design makes ankles bend at weird angle causing strain and pain. Had to return it as I was concerned that continued use may cause injury to my ankle ligaments/muscles. I may try a brand that has independent foot pads on each side that are able to swivel and keep your foot in an upright/straight position.
