Do you have to buy the $60/yr weight/exercise monitoring program when you purchase this machine? Or can you use it without purchasing that program?

No you don't. I didn't when I bought mine last Fall. The data provided on the screen with my daily workouts is enough for me. The machine still works great - no problems whatsoever, and is solid as a rock. It feels like it's bolted to the floor.

No you do not. You can either use it as just a scale or create a new account with Fitbit and have it auto load your weight into your account for tracking purposes.If you are considering it, the Fitbit Flex is awesome!!!

Here's the link to order the DVDS without weight package: www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/les-mills-pump-workout.do?code=BDL_LMP_ORDERPUMPNOWThe form has a 3 installment plan, but after you hit "Place Order" you will be offered additional products. Just keep declining the offers (unless you want them) and eventually you'll get to "Payment Options" and you can elect to make a single payment. This option will probably save you on shipping costs.

Yes, I use it as a basic scale without the app. The app is just an added feature that allows you to track your progress if you wish.

I have no idea, but I doubt it. Mine was purchased new. The info that came with the pedometer had a card that registered it and that you sent to the company. The warranty for a year was there. A used one would be missing that.

I think it does because it measured the same % as when my personal trainer measured it. This is the one of the reasons why I bought it. I'm no longer paying for a trainer & wanted to be able to keep track of my body fat% & muscle mass. I hope my info helped.

If you want to actually track your results or get accurate stats you will have to use the Fitness club and it only comes with 1 membership. There is no way to enter in other users without paying for a new fitness club membership.

I've had no issues with the machine. No missing parts. It takes awhile to get use to the machine..I couldn't do the program and many crunches with it until I gained some strength in my arms.

I have found this to be the case for me too. I have not been able to use the programs, other than the lowest setting. I also have strength in my legs. Otherwise I like the machine a lot. I do wish we could reduce the resistance to enjoy the workout programs. Maybe Xterra could answer this issue???

The lower prices offered on Amazon are normally people trying to sell used machines. There is currently a listing for $279 we see that claims to be a new machine with "shelf wear". Please remember, these second hand machines will not have a warranty. The Exerciser Elite is listed as $359.95 with a 2 year parts and labor warranty on Amazon through our Amazon store. Thank you.

No subscription needed. Just set up your account online with a password. As far as tracking activities, it only automatically tracks your steps taken and tells you how many calories you burn. You have to put in which activities you do each day, and it helps you determine calories burned and then you can log them in.

No it is not worth spending the money it cost! We replaced the belts several weeks ago and still not machine is not completely ready to use. Another words you will do the Maintenance, A cheaper one for home might be better, cause getting the gymn is not always easy!

I mainly use the manual program for a 45 minute workout. I can't say I experienced any sort of failure. Hopefully its under warranty. Good luck.

This has worked very well for me in my efforts to shed the 85lbs I've gained post pregnancy. The equipment itself is very bulky and sturdy; personally I like that it isn't wobbly, flimsy and cheaply manufactured. It has all of the features that I need and like. My husband who is 6' 4'' tall and 280lbs uses it regularly and it's still going strong! By incorporating this in my routine as the cardio segment of my workout for 60 mins 4 times a week I was able to get to a healthier weight by shedding 60lbs!! The Sole Elliptical Machine is worth the money based on my experience from using it almost every day of the week since purchasing it.

I have been using the BLE Heart Rate Monitor app, which is free and works great. The developer tries to charge for certain features (charting, exporting to CSV, etc.), but if you just need it to monitor your current heart rate during a workout, you don't need to spend a dime.

Sorry If I led any readers a stray with my last comment. The Body Works has been a good investment for me. After I learned how to use it with the help of my Pilates class, (that's where I got the idea to buy one) and a return email from Weider, I wasn't using it correctly. Price, assembly and using it has been a really good thing for me. People may give up because they don't want to work that hard at gaining strength, endurance, and building muscle. The chart printed on the box shows all the positions it can be used for...... If you can afford the time, money and have the room to set up the "total gym", that's one thing. Try putting the total gym back in the same box, pay the return postage, and then waiting to have the charges reversed from the account you purchased it on. Like most mail or internet orders, they can suck you in and give you one big headache. I am a 74 year young woman and my body is getting younger every day. My Body Works was and is a good health investment. Thank you!

Beachbody recently released the option to stream some of their programs. Insanity is one of them, it's how I've done the program. There's a fee (I think it works out to $2.99 per week), and you pay either per month or every third month (I honestly can't remember). I'd recommend doing that if you're having a hard time committing to such a large price all at once. Go to their website for more info.
