Comments about Weider Weider Total Body Works 5000:

I did about 2 weeks of research on the net about these types of machines before I deciced on the Total Body Works 5000. The price was a big factor as was the overall strength and stability of the machine itself. I'm actually writing this review because of the LACK of information and/or reviews about what I consider a great machine and a MUCH better buy than some of the other comparable products. If you're considering purchasing this type of equipment, but aren't sure which one to get, this machine does all the exercises of the others at almost half the cost of its closest competitor, and with a stronger frame and construction. Although it doesn't come with a bar to add more weight, it includes 4 bungee type bands that add a surprising amount of added resistance. (I'm sure I could modify it to accept a bar or stronger bands if I really need it) Weider makes what looks like a newer model, but it looks smaller. To conclude; Although I took a chance in purchasing this machine without actually getting on it and trying it first, I'm extremely happy that I did so. I hope this info helps, (it would have helped me).
