Great so far!
Pros: quick delivery, ease of setup
Cons: wish it was a bit longer as i am 6' tall
"So far this is a great workout. It is easy to assembly, easy to follow the workouts and engaging to do. Being adjustable makes it perfect for the beginner to the more in shape person."

Great machine!
"This machine is great and can be a very challenging workout. I'm 5'10" and am close to the max height for comfort on some of the exercises. I would say 6' is probably max. The SD card idea with Jillian taking you through the routines is great and very motivating. Takes 2 people to assemble and moving the bench up and down through the workout is a bit of a pain, but once you get the hang of it, it's good!"

Dangerous and complicated to use
Pros: sturdy
Cons: dangerous to use, not made in the usa
"I will say that this product is well made and very sturdy, but for me it was complicated and dangerous to use. The follow along with Jillian instructions on the i-fit workout card are a bit difficult to follow because the exercises are not sequential to the setting on the machine you are currently on. Because of that you have to stop frequently to change the settings, only to change them back after a few exercises. During one workout I tried to hurry and change the settings and I placed my hand in an area on the machine I shouldn't have. When I pulled the pin out to lower the incline the tube came down and severely smashed my hand. Maybe for a younger user it will work (I'm over 40 and female). It is also very heavy (83 lbs), so if you don't have a designated workout room it might not be a good choice for you. I'm returning mine."

Staying in shape is fun!
Pros: easy to use
Cons: set up instructions
"I'm a 55 year old woman who made a decision to get her body back into shape. I've always wanted one of these machines but often went into sticker shock when I priced them. The Body Shop Resistance machine has proven to be a fun and affordable way to attain my fitness goals. And right in the comfort of my own living room! Good sturdy construction, great features, and a great price! I ordered it on Tuesday, it shipped on Wednesday, and it was waiting on my doorstep when I got home Thursday. It does require two people for set-up and the diagram provided was misleading; you have to pull out the bottom stabalizer rail rather than pulling up on the top rail as indicated. Getting/staying in shape is fun and easy with this machine!"

Total pain
Pros: costco easy returns
Cons: customer service for product bad
"Hauled equipment up to third floor and then began to set up. First step unable to complete cause frame was jammed. Emailed and called customer service for product, not Costco. They were not helpful and told me to return it.
Luckily got from Costco and will ask them to pick it up from house as can not get it to store. Hopefully they will get it."

Nice but...
Pros: high quality, perfect for a tall person
Cons: difficult to adjust the incline, too bulky
"I bought this system after doing some research on it. I was impressed about the price and the reviews that I have read here and other sites. This machine is excellent for a tall person. It is way too bulky. I am 5.4 It was a struggle to use this machine for me. However it is of high quality and will give u the results if u work at it. It was not for me."

assembly issues
Pros: heavy duty, well made
Cons: set up, assembly
Model Number: JMTBW10.0
"I am sure I will love it once I get it set up. I am having issues with the first step. It looks like it should be very easy to put together and get going but I cant do the very first thing on the directions. Pull out knob A. It pulls out but apparently not far enough because it doesn't release enough to extend what needs to be extended. The next step, knob B, it doesn't pullout at all. Any suggestions? Looks like it will be great once done. sturdy and heavy duty."

Decent Overall
Pros: sturdy construction, resistance bands
Cons: cheap electronics on i-fit console
"The product itself seems to be well-built and the resistance bands are a great feature. Unfortunately, the electronics, and specifically the battery connections, in the I-Fit Console look like they belong in a dollar-store toy. The batteries are very difficult to get in and my console doesn't work at all. Given the weight and size of the package I am just going to live without the I-Fit console - I am certainly not hauling the whole thing into the warehouse."

Outstanding
Pros: high quality, easy to use
Cons: a little heavy for moving it around.
"We are an older couple in ouor mid 80s. We heard about the product from our daughter who highly recommended it. It was a little heavy for us to get it up stairs, so my son-in-law helped with that. It was simple to assemble, the instructions were excellent and everything we needed was there. The DVD and computer chip are a great help. The quality of the product fare exceeded our expectations and probably accounts for the weight. We are working our way up the slant ladder by doing simple excercizes every day along with stretching and have mastered getting up and down on the slant board by scooting up before standing.
Great value."

Most cost effective workout system
Pros: practical versatile durable effective machine
Cons: needs better instruction printout, not very portable
Model Number: Ultimate Bodyshop
"This is one of the best equipment I've found for under $500. It is very durable and strong. Unlike my worry about the resistance bands wearing out quickly I found that I don't even need to use them much. Using my own body weight and angle settings will provide more than enough resistance and for limited time I can use the bands, so I don't think they will wear out anytime soon. The rest of the machine is very well built and strong. The only minor issue is that it is not very portable, but it's not that big of a deal, since it allows for folding and can be easily moved by one strong person or two average size people. The built-in workout coach by Jillian's voice is very nice. I would have liked a little more detailed instructions for workout routines, but there's a DVD to watch a few times to learn all the possible moves with this very versatile machine."

Jillian Michaels - Body Shop
Pros: easy set up, compact
Cons: warranty
"This resistance machine is the ultimate machine. From pull ups, squats, low rows, cross flys, bicep curls..over 20 exercises can be done on this machine. So well worth every penny. Don't waste your money on a gym with weights..this one uses your own body resistance and that is really all you need to get in great shape!"

Great buy
Pros: full body workouts, adding/reducing resistance works well
Cons: ifit card was defective
"I am very happy that I bought this because I can actually do some exercises on it that I couldn't do in the regular way (like pull-ups). It does take two people to set it up initially, but storing it and lifting it a short distance (we have it on a bike hook in the wall to keep it in place) can be accomplished by one person, in this case me, and I'm a weakling. The only bad thing about this system is that the iFit card that came with it was defective and stopped playing after the 2nd exercise prompt. However, I am not planning on using that feature so it doesn't bother me too much but that is the only reason why I gave 4 stars instead of 5."

Excellent exercise machine!
Pros: easy assembly, easy adjustments
Cons: none yet.
"I love my BodyShop exercise machine! Costco.com delivered it very quickly. It is easy to do the small amount of assembly, takes just a few minutes. The platform glides very smoothly and there are several different incline positions plus resistance bands for added difficulty. I had knee surgery and wanted to be able to do the exercises that I did at physical therapy at home. This machine fits my needs and my husband will use it also."

Well-built, gets the job done
Pros: well-built solid, fun to use, the audio card support is professional and useful, the visual card displays all the positions, though it's heavy it rolls easily, very affordable compared to similar products
Cons: overall quite heavy, assembly is time-consuming and tricky, slider has a couple of little catches in it, can be awkward to grab the handles on board
"It's quite heavy and definitely requires two people to put together. This one part where you have to align lug nuts and thread bolts through them is a real bear, took a long time and a bunch of banging and hassle to make it happen--very hard to align the final one. That said it works as advertised. The one functional thing I don't like is that the slider is not perfectly smooth as it should be--there are slight little catches in it that are annoying. Perhaps the slide bar has a little burr on it or something. The recorded coach program wants you to start at the full-tilt angle. Good luck with that! That's advanced stuff. But all in all, it does give you a good workout. I find many of the positions are uncomfortable. Best for kids in their 20's. But when you find the positions you like and that work for you, the reps definitely get cardio and muscles and joints and ligaments working well. With no impact stress, which I really like. If you look at it as a device you can adapt to your comfort zone and pace, you'll be happy with it. But unless you're quite young and flexible, don't expect to just jump into their program and assume all the positions. You may get disappointed and walk away. Unless you're in great shape, start at the low angles and just do the things that feel good for starters. Then work up slowly to the program. Lower your expectations and you'll find you're getting a good workout quite efficiently and with short sessions. Overall it works as advertised, just take it easy at first."

Cons: none

"Just coming off back surgery, this is just what I've been looking for! Great for building core, abs, leg, back and arm muscles. Got more from a week with this machine than I did from 6 weeks at physical therapy! Very versatile, well thought out, well built, a great value! Fraction of what I spent on an elliptical trainer and I use the Body Shop every day! Haven't used the Resistance Bands yet, but am looking forward to them. This machine will not become a coat rack!"
