Does it have the same results as lifting weights?

Yes and no. I don't think that's the answer you were looking for so I'll explain. I changed from weight lifting to the rack for a couple reasons, one being a health issue, degenerative disc in my back which greatly limits the amount I'm able to lift. When I changed to the rack I didn't expect what I got. I had noticeable gains in my arms, chest and back. Legs not so much. If you stick to the schedule and routine you will absolutely get results but you're limited to the results you'll get. The rack only weighs so much, even if you get the additional weights. If you wanna look like Arnold then you wanna stick with the gym and the weights. If you wanna build a little muscle, burn fat and get toned then the rack is more than worth the money you'll pay to get it. That's just my opinion but I stand by the rack. Ive had mine for over a year and still use it to this day. Hope this helps!

I don't do any heavy lifting at all, mostly 200-300 rep small weights. It has worked very well in helping me tone. I'm not sure how good it would be for only aerobic since it is meant to help build and shape muscle...

The Leg press is similiar enough to a gym experience, certainly the exercise gets the muscle groups covered. The machine does not have a way to do a true squat that I have found...the range of motion for a leg press does not really feel like doing squats

It's a much better taste. As for "results," considering my diet and exercise routine is kicking back into gear, I feel much better taking this protein post workout than I did with Optimum Whey.

yes, if you use it how your suppose too. I gained at least 2-3 inches of muscle after a month of working out.

Yes it does. You have the ability to change your workout on the fly for more resistance and then less for a cool down.

This is a very good product, but as with most fitness items it's designed to work your muscles whether they have some fat over them or not. Fat will not change the effectiveness of the product. The real benefit will be seen with continued use of the product.

Yes. It is much more versatile. This also makes it much easier to increase or decrease the difficulty of any particular exercise. Great product!!!

not to my knowledge it doesn't........I would say this is more of a cardio machine than a strength training machine.........

I'm not sure if the product actually increases muscle, but it definitely gives you the energy to workout harder than you normally would. It gives you that "Get up and go" feeling.

Yes, greatly. Back and shoulders also. Been working out for many years and find it an excellent way to work out upper body !

No. Not much if are already fit but if you are more than 50 lbs over weight then you will notice improvement because you are moving! I was hoping for more because of the little woman working out with Tony on the infomercial but no luck. Wish I could return mine for a full refund as I am not seeing results. Back to cardio!

If it does it is very minimal. My husband said he didn't notice anything when I asked him and he is pretty picky about his workout equipment!!

Yes definitely! You will see a great change if you are consistent with the program. My stamina was awesome after it. You will feel a dramatic change in your core for sure

No, but it was fast moving for me. I guess it would depend on how good of shape you are in. Its more cadio and toning.

If you substitute something in the pull ups place you will still get one heck of a workout. And if you do push ups instead I feel you are basically muscles so not much of a impact on the results.

Yes. I've noticed quite a difference. I do about 200-220 reps at the highest set level, two or three times a day (each set takes about 4.5 minutes), and I can see the improvement in my forearms, across my chest and shoulders, and definitely in my core.
