Do you need weights for all of the workouts?

Three pound weights are needed. I'm sure you would feel workout without weights but good idea to have some.

They use light dumb bells only for the arm toning segments of each workout (about the first ten minutes or so following the warmup). If you just had a single pair of five- or eight-pound weights, that would suffice.

I think you only need the counterweights if you are over 400lb, which this scale is said to do. They are to add additional weight to the balance. We did not get them with our purchase, they were extras, that can be ordered if needed. You can contact the seller or manufacture and ask them. We are happy with this balance scale, you can get on it 5 or 6 times in a row, and still get the same reading, that we did not get on the number of spring scales we have had, that break so easily when bumped.

yes. either bands or free weights. i find weights easier than the bands to use. you can start with something relatively light and buy more as you get stronger.

The workouts vary from about 25 - 40 minutes including warm up and cool down. You only need 2 sets of dumbbells (light and heavier) the size of which is determined by you and your abilities. Nothing very heavy though, and a mat. That's about it.

No weights. You gotta have your own weights and if u have olympic weights u gotta buy converters for them. Hope that helps.

Nope, it is not required. If you read my lengthy review one of the facts is that these exercises are the most customizable. You have points where one guy is on the pullup bar, two others are using free weights, and Andy is using the bands. Pullup bar is not necessary at all but it probably the hardest exercise in that set.

Sure. Just remember it comes with a limited amount of weights. Just order more if you need it. The box the weights come in is of course heavy. I had to open the box and take the weights out separately. There was no safe way to pick up the box. Enjoy

The elite also have 2 2.5lb add-in weights for each dumbbell. The classics do not. So you end up being able to create more dumbbell weight combinations.

Bar is included, weights are not.Any standard weight plates will work with it (example: http://worldfitnessnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/weight-plates.jpg)

No, weights are not included. We had to purchase them separately. This is a great setup. My husband just got back from overseas and uses it everyday. Worth the money!

50 lbs is a lot. If you lift with good control , single joint exercises like biceps curls, triceps extensions, and shoulder raises won't require more than 50 lbs in your lifetime . However, "big" compound exercises like deadlifts, squats & bench presses will all eventually require more than 100 lb total. I'd advise both.

Yes. However, the manufacturer include the weight of each empty dumbbell in the 200lb figure. So, you'll get 190lbs of weight plates and two dumbbells that weight 5lbs each. That totals the 200lbs.

It comes with the weights. Mine was missing one of them when it came in and I contacted the company. They sent me another weight and a couple of spares.

there is no need to add weight because it depends on how fast you move your arms. even a micro movement is enough. believe me it's fine the way it is and works really well.

these bands are 3 different strengths, light, medium, and heavy, they are not weights but ressitent bands, used differently than weights, so getting these bands can be used very safely and will work for all types of work-outs using bands, hope this helps

You can load but you don't need too. You can just take it like an hour or so before your work out and you can get good results. You might get better results if you load. But I don't load and it works great.
