In 2006 or 2007, I purchased an elliptical from Fitness Quest. Fitness Quest recalled the Elliptical and told us to choose another product. I chose the Pilates Power Gym. I used it one or 2 times and didn't really like it and it just sat in the corner. Now, unable to sell the darn thing, I am being forced to use it.
The size:
It is just the right size for my house. I like wide open spaces so was concerned about a bulky machine in the house. I rolled it into the kitchen and it doesn't get in the way.
Ease of use:
At first, I was frustrated. Once I looked at the DVD some of the frustration was relieved. My main problem, however, is the use of the hand straps and the noise. My handstraps don't seem to want to move all that much and the thing makes a lot of noise.
Results:
I have only started back using it so I can't tell if there are any results. Since my hand straps are hard to use, I don't anticipate any upper body results. It seems like it could be good for the lower body though.
Would I recommend the device to others?
No, I would not. I am 5'3 and 120 pounds and I feel like my head is in a box every time I have to lay down on the thing. My body immediately tenses up having my head in a vise like device. Also, I barely fit on the thing and I am 5'3. If I were much taller, I would be very mad having to use this thing. The most frustrating part though is the narrowness of the machine. You have to be tiny to sit on this device and do stretches and so forth.
Like others have stated, if it were not such a hassle to ship it back I would have shipped it back long ago. As it stands, I am going to use the thing for stretching.
