Great configuration for a great price
I've had a Stamina Products AeroPilates Reformer in various configurations for a good 15 years now and this particular model with the elevation stand, taller Cardio-Rebounder, wide foot-bar, and all the other accessories is the best you can do without going to a true professional model or more expensive brand like Stott. There is a new 5-cord model available but, from reviews I've read, it has some quality issues that may be worrisome. The stand is not part of its package, nor is the neck pillow, which together would add about $150 to the price. I will state, however, that the newer videos which came out in 2010 are somewhat better than the old ones which came in this package. If someone is interested in an even lower price than this, they may wish to check the Stamina Products website, where refurbished equipment can be purchased, including this same set-up, with free shipping. All in all, this configuration is a close to perfect as it gets as far as I'm concerned. The longer,...

Needs a little tweaking but I can tell afterward that this is a great workout...
Putting this together was a breeze for me. However, due to my height (5'3"), I had to remove the bumpers at the bottom, which worked out well. I'm glad I did so because I needed the extra washers from the bumpers to add to the top wheels because they were spaced too far inward on the rails and the platform kept falling during rebounding, and I'm not a heavy girl(125). After adding the washers though, it works great. A very solid workout. My abs were killing me for two days after my first use! Not a super quiet ride (the wheels have a small "grumbly" noise as I move up and down), but not so bothersome to the point of annoying. :) I'm using my iPod during workouts now that I have the hang of it and know the pace of the DVD's and I don't hear a thing. I do recommend ordering the additional Aeropilates DVD's offered on Amazon as they are more professionally and more recently made. The ones that come with the reformer seem to be a copy of something previously made on VCR and then...
Cut in Foot Bar Foam
This product arrived with a cut in the foam on the foot bar and the only way to get a new one was to get a whole new machine. Very annoying no one to call and get this one piece replaced.

Good, not quite great.
I've completed weeks 1-3 and am in the middle of week 4. Here are my thoughts:

1. The product itself is rock solid. I'm not worried about straps breaking on me, they are VERY sturdy. The rotational aspect of them is fairly underwhelming; the straps don't slide that easily, and so the difference between these and TRX are just not that noticeable.

2. The door anchor... meh. You won't have a lot of clearance between the door and your feet with away facing movements, so your feet may bang on the door. The metal portion just below the strap that is the door anchor will also scratch your door up if you don't use the protective cover. Even with that, it still scratched up la quinta's bathroom door.

3. The DVDs: LOTS of recycled footage, which annoys me. You'll be very tired of the warmup and cooldown by week 3. Also, there is quite a bit of plyometric stuff, especially jumping jacks, so if you have issues with high impact, you might not tolerate the...

A challenging and balanced workout program
I had been thinking about suspension training for about a year and bit when it was an Amazon Gold Box special in December. I was aware of TRX, but when I looked at all the reviews, many cited the superiority of rip60. My purchase decision was based on good price, great reviews for the straps, and the inclusion of 12 DVDs.

The program is 8 weeks long and you workout with one DVD each week. Weeks 1-3 gradually build up in difficulty. Week 4 is a yoga routine to recover. Week 5 is a step up from week 3 in both time and challenge. Week 6 is the most challenging--it is longer by ~10 min, and then weeks 7 and 8 back off a bit from week 6. It seemed to me that weeks 6, 7, and 8 focused a bit more on cardio than strength. The exta workout called lean muscle is a pretty challenging strength workout thats lots of fun, but only 25 min long. After running through the program and the extra DVDs, I find myself repeating the week 3 and week 5 workouts....with some week 4...
AWESOME system and workout... but with IMPORTANT warnings
Review originally posted under an identical product listing for Rip60 on Amazon...

AWESOME system and workout... but with important warnings

This is an AWESOME system and workout. The workout covers everything: Balance, Agility, Flexibility, Endurance and Strength. It takes about an hour each time and runs four to five days a week depending on the week. In the time it takes me to drive to the gym and back I can get in a great workout and not leave the house and waste time along with gas and gym membership money. I absolutely love it.

In my opinion, the trainer (Jeremy Strom) knows what he is doing, why he is doing it, and is good at it.

Warnings:

(1) Finding a place to mount this system which has the required space available might be harder than it appears. I don't know if you would have a door would work like it shows in the advertisements and it won't work as well as on the videos (the straps are suspended freely in the videos)...
