Sorry, in re-reading my comment I kind of sounded like a jerk - I promise, it was unintentional.

I guess my point was that you can do a heck of a lot for yourself with basic situps / pushups / floor squats with a bag full of books or sand and it doesn't take anything that requires payments to do so.

A machine does two things.

(1) It sits there and says "you spent $500 - are you going to use it?"

(2) It sits there and gives you another place to hang junk.

If (1) works for you, great.

BTW - These are two reasons why the "put under your bed" machines are a bad idea. Out of sight, out of mind.
