This is one of those products that you get all hyped up about at first, but then just sits in your garage and you never use it.I wish I would have bought something that you didn't constantly have to work to change around when you want to work on a different part of your body.It is also heavy, and not very easily moved around if you aren't keeping it set up in one spot of your house.It does not store well at all!It is supposed to be a quick workout, however I find that I spend just as much time setting the thing up, and moving things around as I do working out.This is a good idea for a product, however they need to make it a bit more user friendly if they want people to be more interested in it.

I used one in physical therapy and I thought it was great there, but I don't know who has a house big enough to accommodate one that is set up.
They are a hassle to set up. However, I own the 1700 and the results are well worth the maneuvering. I learned to keep my routine to limited changes of the machine. The 1700 has a Pilate's bar. I enjoy doing the Pilate's more than anything else now. I can do all my Pilate's from one position. If I want to do anything else I can, but I don't have to. I looked into Pilate's machines and they run over $400 for a basic model. My 1700 has all those have plus more for half the cost.
A friend of mine had one of these. It became a very expensive clothes hanger LOL. I don't currently have enough one to leave it set up all the time, so it's probably not for me. I do like cnt24's comment above about the Pilates bar. That definitely makes me want one for one!
