Approximately how long does it take to change from one exercise to another? Does it take long to attach and detach the pulley system?

I never have any need to remove the pulleys themselves. When the pulleys need to be disconnected from the glide board you reach under the glide board and unhook the rope. Takes 2 seconds.The other things I do to switch are to change the difficult setting, i.e. raise or lower the glide board. This takes about 15 seconds. Getting in and out of the foot strap is a bit awkward, maybe 30 seconds. Swapping the pulley handles for the bicep bar doesn't always go easily; getting the handles out of the clips takes some work. Swap is still under a minute though. A couple other things take just a few seconds. I never have any need to remove the pulleys themselves.

For some excersizes its as easy as moving arms different ways or legs .it not hard at all to detach pulleys .So very easy to use definately user friendly !

For me repositioning only takes a few seconds. Changing the push-up bar to a pull-up bar takes a few seconds. Changing the cables would take the longest, 20 - 30 seconds. I tend to cluster similar exercises together and appreciate changeover time:-)

Try this: Go to a pull up bar and try to hang from one hand (DON'T just let your weight drop on your hand entirely, place the weight of your body on just one arm but keep your feet on the floor, then slowly remove your feet if you feel you can) are you able to hang on for a few seconds with ONE hand? then yes you can start with the trainer. If you cannot, go lighter. See how long you can hang with both arms, it should be at least 25-30 seconds before messing with the trainer. I went for the trainer even though I have been doing pull ups/chin ups and such for a few years, and I wasn't able to close it at first. I used a cheaper grip instrument as a warm up then would try to close the trainer in sets of 1 to 5 reps. I also did some static holds. Now I can close it 5 times with my right hand (dominant) and 3 times with my left hand. This is after about a month of training. I don't think I'd suggest getting the guide, get the trainer and also a cheaper gripper, the guide is too expensive and you'll outgrow it really fast. I mean, you can use it for a warm up for a while, and then you can gift it or sell it to a novice trainee - I'm just saying I wouldn't. I plan to give my trainer to my son someday! I'm sure it'll last that long (don't have a kid yet) Good luck!

I do about 2-3 minutes daily. With some excercising and stretching while inverted.

30 to 60 minutes or how long you want to make them depending how long you do each exercise

I'm not sure i understand your question, however it appears that you are asking which configuration would be best? There is only one configuration to this system, so there is no easy or hard way. From a physics perspective, it doesn't matter which way you pull on the loose end, the weight is essentially the same. The mechanical advantage is in the configuration of the rope, and the moving pulleys

It is one year....note that i have done a significant amt of work on the setup and alignment to get it to work properly....just replaced the rear pulley...wasnt cheap

Yes, you change speed by changing which groove on the pulleys that the belt runs in.

This was a gift to my Mother. I set it up(she is 92). I don't remember it having the ability to go that long between changes. Maybe an hour, don't think it can go any longer than that.

I have found it is more of a technique issue as opposed to a brute strength issue. I can pop it off in under a second...but I've gotten used to doing it. Just practice doing a "press & pull", it'll smooth out!

All you need is a basic tool set that has a selection of sockets or wrenches. It took me about 20 minutes to change both sides out along with a second set of hands to hold the lift gate up.

I have used my Bayou fitness for almost 2 years, almost on a daily basis, and had no problem with the pulleys and I am a big guy. So I don't think you have to worry about the strength of the plastic pulleys.

It took 2 ppl about 20 to 40 mins. It is easier w an extra set of hands!! It is a heavy machine!

Yes, it takes a little time but I changed both of min in a few minutes. Just pay attention while you are taking it apart, there is a spring. It does go back together fairly easy though.

It can be. It all depends on what you do with the machine. When you let go of the handles, you can swing your arms as if you are walking or jogging. Your legs can be straight or slightly bent. I have a variety of different exercizes that I do. I just keep moving; and before I know it, I've gone 30 minutes plus.

About 5 minutes when unloading two bikes. It requires an hex (allen) wrench which is supplied with the carrier but I bought an adapter for my socket wrench so I could install/uninstall more quickly.

There is instructions but first time it took my husband about an hr..second time maybe 30 mins. Once you know how it goes it's less time.

I have not had any problems. Just put the belt in one pulley and force the new belt into the top pulley by turning it
