We bought the Cellerciser a week ago after reading the reviews of both models. It appears to be an equivalent product, except it appears to folder easier than other reviewers noted about the Needak (they'd made claims that it needed two people often and a heavy couch to prop against to close). One person could fold by hand (with some heft) the Cellerciser without having to prop it against any furniture. Definitely a plus. I think it's diameter might be several inches smaller than Needak's, although it appears to work just fine for all family members. Just compare sizes if you think that could matter to you.

Depend on how you're going to use it. Kids? Adults? Daily? Every once in a while? 10 minute sessions? 30 minute sessions? The more use, the more you need a sturdier model. I bought this one to replace the one that we had bought 15 yrs ago that had begun to wear where the fabric attached to the clips that hold it to the frame. Ours ReboundAir Standard that we have now is used by 2 adults who weigh 160-175 lbs each. Used by at least one of us daily. Still looks & as good as it did when we took it out of the box 2 yrs ago; feels like it has the same amount of bounce, too. From what I can tell at this point, it looks as if it will perform as well as the previous one did. Depend on how you're going to use it. Kids? Adults? Daily?

To Karen C.: I am a naturally-big guy. I'm also a "LIFE Relations Counselor," which is a sit-on-your-butt-all-day while helping people job. So, 6 years ago I wound-up a 285 lb. Overweight, unhealthy mess. I bought "the Urban Rebounder" & all their Videos {DVDs} and started slow. 6 years later, I've permanently dropped the dangerous fat & am still building muscle. YES, the "Urban Rebounder" is a spectacular exercise item that will Not crumble under a 300 lb. person. I never had any problems with my weight & the Rebounder, and there are 2 other Family members now using it. I only have to use it 20 minutes daily to keep in shape. hope that helps! P.S.: BTW, it is also a LOT OF FUN.

Thank you for your review. I have a older Pro AeroPilates reformer (it's amazing but no longer sold) at our second home and was looking for a cheaper version for our main location that can be folded up and moved. (unlike the Aero) However, I do want more of a reformer not a total trainer and your review was very helpful indeed.

Hello Aaron. I wish I have the Glidecam to compare both units. I can tell you the Opteka works and do good videos. If you read the reviews on other brands, you'll see lot of complains on setup and quality. Well, that is not a problem with this unit. Setup is really easy and the quality is pretty decent. My "concern" is that it's heavy and after some time, you will feel the weight. I wish Opteka could replace some parts and use aluminum to make it a "perfect" unit (price v/s quality). Now, keep on mind this is for fun... I tried on some parties and all my friends got in love with the unit. BUT if you want to make some money and do it professional, then you'll need to pay more. I hope this helps....

Sorry for the delay in reply. I don't think this is a piece of junk. I think for really tall people and hardcore atheletes, this is not what they are looking for. I think really great treadmills cost a LOT, but this is NOT the piece of squeaky, flimsy stuff I hear it is. What I ESPECIALLY like about it, is that to get anything this good, sturdy, quiet, durable, good company- you'd have to pay a lot more- at least twice as much. I think this is one of the better values. If you do want to USE a treadmill, and need one that is quiet and lasts long (Weslo is a good company that seems, even when there are shipping or boxing errors, to stand by their product) - this is really worthwhile. I can see how tall people and athletes would want or even need a bigger bang, regardless of price. This is a no-frills model- but it's great. I'm really glad I didn't go spend less, and get unmotorized or a different one, or spend twice as much. I have no complaints so far and now I've had it a bit of time at least and regular use. It's a really good one for regular but casual use and entry level. Beat the cheaper ones for quite and ease and durability, beats the pricier ones, in that it works well and lasts reasonably and is easy to go from box, to treadmilling, even for sissy weaklings like me. It's not "outstanding, perfect" but I think it's much better than hit or miss. (Plus Amazon has buyer protections if you get a lemon. EVERY mfg of everything, there is always one lemon for every few hundred great ones.) Not perfect, each one every time always, but it's far enough better than luck of draw that it's worth the recommendation.

Rebounder offers one but I believe it's freestanding. It's my sense any brand stabilizer will work. Good luck!

That's a good idea! I don't think I asked Amazon for the refund; but I did ask T-Tap and they told me what they were going to do if I askedfor a refund, and they did it! I ended up just giving my CD away to someone who wanted it. I'd suggest that you start with the cheaper one to see how you like it. You can get a good workout in 15 minutes with her; the only problem is, you don't have her there to correct your form if you're not doing it correctly. Form is so important, you know.

I would recommend the IRON GYM XTREME it's a bit larger and with the Extra Hand Grips it holds you out from the Door Frame a bit more resulting in more grip by the Iron Gym on the door frame contact points. It's selling for $25 at WalMart wth 97 cent shipping right now. It feels so solid you won't worry about falling.

That is the real question This vs Vitamix or BlendTecLooks like most of the reviewers in the Amazon Vine program have not used/bought high end blenders like Vitamix/Blendtec and give their glowing reviews comparing to a typical <$100 low powered blender, typically a $40-$60 Oster blender. Hence most of the Vine reviews are useless since they got a high end blender for free and compare their experience to a $50 blender. The real useful review would come from an existing owners of one of those high priced blenders who paid real money to get this and the other one, do not benefit from sales commissions for marketing the other ones, and have ability to compare them side by side.

Sorry if I didn't know the proper name for the 'BAR' you replace the rebounder board with. When doing reps of excersices. Maybe Miss Cracovia should of spoke up before 4 weeks going by!

TZSeller wanted me to return the Bike Rack at MY EXPENSE. Today I took it down to UPS and found out it will cost $91 to ship back. My husband and I decided that since that is more than the rack cost to begin with we will just "bite the bullet" this time. Since it was an equipment failure which almost cost the price of 2 bikes (one is very expensive) I feel very used. TZSeller offered another bike rack to us (still had to return the first) but it was not ANYTHING we wanted or felt safe about. The parts that broke on the TZSeller bike rack was the Velcro tie-down holders (2)((red in Picture)) one arm bent probably when the bikes came loss.

It is so easy. Watch their info on youtube before you buy it. Watch it a couple of times, but it really is simple to use. You will not regret getting it. But get the wristband as well - I think it is 2 or 3 dollars. I absolutely love the minmax because of the interval settings, very versatile as you have a lot of options but of course you can stick with a very simple program. I also find the stopwatch useful for timing runs etc. Really makes a huge difference in the workout. Hope this helps.

You are probably doing this question because you're new on these. If your try the jumpSport, once you get used with the workout you probably will want a better tool and will put your eyes on Bellicon or (once again) the Cellerciser. I dislike the situation with the longevity of the cords. They have to be replaced from time to time. Springs on the Cellerciser might look old fashion technology, but it works. Four years working out on my Cellerciser and still running in perfect conditions. My pick: the Cellerciser.

the difference is $37.55.......... sorry I couldn't resist. seriously I'm not sure. I looked at the product description. the less expensive one weighs 8 ounces and has a shipping weight of 2 pounds. the more expensive one does not provide any product dimensions, but it does state that the shipping weight is 11 pounds. my guess is that the more expensive one is heavier and probably more sturdy and meant to support bigger bikes/heavier loads. I got the less expensive one, and for me it has worked. I use it on a hybrid bike. I put on a bike rack and carrier bags and use the bike to go grocery shopping. the stand I have works well. but it is necessary to balance the carrier bags, with fairly equal weight on each side. if unbalanced the stand will not support the bike, the bike will tip over. but I imagine that even with the heavier stand, you might encounter the same problem if only one side of the bike is loaded with heavy items.

Hi Carole, I also hadn't used my Pilates for several years. I took a chance and ordered the Stamina Level 2 Integrated DVD a few months back along with the Rebounder. (Unfortunately the Rebounder did not fit my Pilates and I had to send it back) I still remembered most of the workouts so the Level II was fine, I just slowed my workout down a bit until I was up to her speed. However, in order to get the full benefit of the workouts you must have the Rebounder...without the Rebounder the DVD doesn't have enough workouts to make it worthwhile. Hope this helps.

I have the Woss 3000 and have tried the TRX . The TRX is well made but from my point of view it cannot do anything for me that the Woss 3000 cannot do. I do not need the videos nearly all the exercises are on you tube . The difference in price is huge and in my opinion unjustified .The woss is also well made .I know nothing about the Lifeline USA
