Very, very pleased
By Danny (Charleston, SC) on Apr 9, 2009
I love it. Like most, I found the directions weren't very clear for putting it together (though there wasn't much to put together) and getting it set. But once I got it figured out, I was good to go. There are still some things to figure out, and the exercise poster lacks a lot of detail, but i... (Read more)

well built for the $$
By Sandie (Tri-Cities WA) on Jan 19, 2009
Yes, this is a sturdy product, but the only support you will get is from the structure itself. Customer support is not existent. I purchase from a sporting goods store and the unit isn't sold with assembly directions or exercise guide. You can download the owners maunual on line but cannot apparentl... (Read more)

Great Quality
By Jim (Clinton, New Jersey) on Jan 19, 2009
My buddy bought a body weight system(I won't mention the name...I wrote a reveiw and mentioned the other brand with the texas ranger and they pulled it down becuase I said the name of the brand) and this machine is every bit as good. The foot plate isn't quite as fancy but it's sturdy and the bench ... (Read more)

tough workout
By Charlie (Flint, MI) on Jan 19, 2009
This thing give a tough workout. at the low settings I get a killer cardio workout and at the highest pitch I can burn out fast. It says you can do like 100 excercises but so far I've just focused on 10 or 15 of them. I've have another weider weight bench that my dad bought about 15 years ago and th... (Read more)

Most bang for buck.....
By Rob (Chicago, IL) on Apr 15, 2009
Just received it yesterday and exceeded my expectations!! Set up in no time, not much to do and was testing it out in about 20 minutes! Poster is not much help, a brief DVD or even online vids would be helpful but product allows for creativity! I had been considering the T.G. product and even tes... (Read more)

Pretty cool!
By pinkbooboo (Greenville, SC) on Jan 26, 2009
Very nice, light and easy to use. Easy to put together, great workout. No instructions on how to use though, and no instructions on adjusting for height.

At my age
By Steevo9a/facebook (Seneca,SC) on Feb 7, 2009
Coming up fast at 57 I knew it was time to put away the weight machine. After talking to a few people I decided in the TBW5000.WOW, I get a full body work-out at low impact and I don't strain the ol' ligiments. My friend Frankis helped me start a program and now I feel like a 40yr old again. This is... (Read more)

Well worth the Money
By nhrunner (Southern NH) on Feb 18, 2009
I've only had this machine for a few days, and I have nothing negative to report about it. Easy to assemble (took me about 15 minutes). Smooth moving, sturdy machine. Excellent customer support while ordering the machine, and I have had no need to contact customer service since as the delivery wa... (Read more)

I LOVE IT!!
By Flipper (Wisconsin) on Feb 27, 2009
What a great value! This was very simple to set up and use. It even easily folds flat and slides under my futon for storage. I have teenagers and they love it to. Thank you for making a sturdy high quality product for such an affordable price.

SO AWESOME!!!
By PLUCKTWACY (CLEVELAND,OH) on Mar 4, 2009
HIGH QUALITY PRODUCT WITH EXTREMELY SIMPLE ASSEMBLY. THE ASSEMBLY TOOK 10 MINUTES. THIS MACHINE IS VERY STURDY NO WOBBLES OR CREAKS FROM THIS MACHINE AT ALL! THE PULLEYS AND BENCH ARE VERY SMOOTH. I AM WELL ABOVE THE 250LB WEIGHT LIMIT (293) SO I WAS SKEPTICAL ABOUT IT HANDLING MY WEIGHT. NOW THAT I... (Read more)

LIVES UP TO THE NAME...WEIDER !!
By WALL-E (SMITHTOWN, NY) on Mar 9, 2009
I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FOR A HOME GYM THAT WOULD GIVE ME A GOOD WORKOUT BUT NOT TAKE UP A WHOLE ROOM. I WAS CHECKING OUT THE TOTAL 'G' BUT THE EXCESSIVE PRICE AND APPARENTLY FLIMSY CONSTRUCTION MADE ME THINK TWICE ABOUT SHELLING OUT THE $$$. THEN I THOUGHT ABOUT THE FIRST NAME IN BODYBUILDING...

good & bad
By cdpt22 (modesto ca) on Mar 15, 2009
I just bought my TBW 5000it has some bad points, not very good about explaining how to set it up and the exercise instruction guide (whata poster) doesn't explain exactly how to do the exercise just start and end picture what happens if someone gets hurt doing an exercise

easy to use, compact, great work out
By Angus (Chicago, IL) on Mar 17, 2009
Product was easy to set up and use within about 20 minutes after getting in my door. Smooth roller action and good resistance. The levels of incline are more than enough to give a great work out. Much less expensive than the "other" infommrcial brand. Sorry Chuck and Christie. Recommended.
