Does the exerciser stay flat on the floor when one is using it, or are there problems with it lifting and twisting?

We have no problems with it lifting or twisting. The directions say to position your chair so you are pushing down as you pedal and we have done that. I feel this is very well balanced and months later I still love it and use it everyday!

The desk cycle is pretty heavy. It may slide forward but they include a Velcro strap to connet your chair to the cycle because they know that people using it at their desk have desk chairs with wheels. Its not light weight and it did not teeter totter when pedaling. Plus its lower to the ground compared to other pedalars

The higher the resistance, the more likely it is to move but movement should be minimized if you use it correctly by pedaling up and down instead of forward. Mine is located under my office desk in a location where it rests against the back side of the desk, so it has no forward movement. I had no issues at all with lifting, twisting, or lateral movement. It is heavy. Some of my coworkers settled for the $30 models. They move around a lot, get really hot, and the resistance cranks do not hold the resistance. You get what you pay for.

No, it should not wobble, unless the floor is uneven. I have used it and it is just like a professional workout bench

I have not had it that long, but so far, neither of these issues. My husband is close to the weight limit on it & no problems whatsoever. I assume you are talking stability of the trampoline, & it is very stable. I chose this over one with bands since his weight is higher and thought the bands may not last.

It's been quite fine for me (165 lbs). Inclines while I am walking on the belt with no issues, declines the same. It's on a screw type lift so it's not an instantaneous thing.

No, it's very stable. I do assisted pull ups with a band at 280 lbs and it doesn't even wabble. Hope this helps.

I use the machine and I'm 6'5, 250 lbs. When doing some exercises I need to lift my feet in the air because There is no where on the glideboard to put them when I'm laying down. But that makes it a better workout because I'm using my abdominals. As far as weight is concerned, I do some explosive excercises on the machine and it doesn't move or slide on the floor and the machine is pretty sturdy. I use the weight bar to add extra weight making the machine carry the maximum load of 350 lbs. The machine is solid. I definitley recommend it. I use it in combination with free weights. I love it.

It's very sturdy. Mine sits on a gym mat. Since it's not bolted down, it's only gonna be as sturdy as your floor is evenly flat. I haven't had mine shake on me. My friend claims when he's struggling on the dips, he's had it slightly shake. Nothing extreme like tipping over. Obviously because if you let your body shake, the tower will too. Rock solid in my opinion.

Mine has worked fine. Easy to move and store. I am 5'4" and 115lbs, might be different for really big guys, but I did not want to pay over a grand for a bunch of bells and whistles I don't need like with the gym models so this was perfect for me and well worth it considering the low price.

It is just a tad bit longer as the one I got, but uses the same size risers. Nothing on the bottom, I use mine on carpet and never had a issue. If you use on hardwood floors I suggest using the same mats as exercise equipment

Yes. It is on a twist and lock system so you will twist while lifting and lock into place at desired height.

It will *not* go flat. I use mine daily, for hours. It's comfortable but offers support as well. By far the best I've ever had. Others have either been hard as a rock or mushy. I love this one.

It is a fixed angle, no adjustments, which really bums me out because my old one (a Fitness Gear, which I will replace this one with) had three inclines including flat so that it could be used as a chair when not working out (my only furniture is my camping cot and my situp bench).I got hold of a milk crate and put the front legs of the bench on the flipped over milk crate thus increasing the incline for a better workout and will do that in the future with other, better situp benches (I like my milk crate better than this particular situp bench, milk crates rule.)Kel

You may have difficulty keeping it in place. I use it for sit ups in my gym and it shifts farely easily. (at least for an adult)

Personally, I don`t feel very stable while working out on this twist model, I`d rather have the classic model. I also found that my sports shoes were slipping too, couldn`t clutch onto the surface. For this reason I`ll sell it and get the old model that I had before. I work out regularly in a gym but I bought this appliance because I don`t have time to go the guy as much as I`d like since I can take my kids with me.

It's average at best, i had to upgraded to a metal ball swivel to make it useable (it comes with a nylon swivel ball). And I have 500lbs stacked onto the base to stop is from sliding across the floor. Overall it is a great exercise tool.

The base goes up and down from side to side. Good Vibration action. The machine has a speed control that makes it go faster or slower--your choice, all while it's vibrating. I needed something that vibrated slowly for my 70 year old mother who primarily uses it. I add squats, and arm lifts and even sit on it to do some leg lifts for my abdomen. Its a good workout for my aching joints and muscles..

I have no problems with it being stable. It doesn't tip(unless all your weight is on one edge). Or bounce/shift under you. And I have balance and depth perception issues! So I think you'll be safe.
