So, is this truly an over the head style, and how does it work in a Gym?

It's not over the head style. It's over the ear. And, as you can see from its picture, is not stereo. For me, the device stays snugly on my ear even when I bike. I have run with it on over short distances and it doesn't come loose or fall out. It's light enough and snug enough that I think it will be okay for a gym workout although I can't really say how it would hold up for an aerobics or dance class or any activity that requires jumping or acrobatic moves.

Its likely to fall off if you're in an inverted position, it has moved a little when bending over, had to hold it with my finger

This is my primary gym headphone. It works great and has never come close to falling off.

Not over the head but over the ear. I haven't used it in the gym yet but I think it will do ok.

I use them just like weights in the gym. They are awesome. I love them. Good luck.

I agree with Holly, it will work but is very heavy, probably save you a few trips to the gym.

I'm no expert on the subject, but I have seen lesser quality machines in smaller gyms. The machine is heavy duty and can certainly send up to heavy use.

There is a strap on the device that you adjust to either help you more or less with pull-ups. I think the more resistance the more body weight it's deducting so its easier. Your foot won't hit the floor if you do it correctly. I would not try with your knee. The instructions say to not have the loop more than 3 feet from the ground so you would not be able to reach the bar with your knee in the loop (unless you're tall I guess).This product is awesome. I tried the workouts using the chair method but I felt like I was not getting anything out of that. I went from doing no pull-ups on my own to doing 4 so far & them I use the band to do more.

As someone who has been training for nearly 35 yrs ., I have use d all levels of fitness equipment. Commercial and home gym. I bought thi bench for my personal home gym when I decided to stop going to a local gym. It is simple , but well made. I have found the unit to perform well for me and my son. I hope this helps.

Yeah but it'd be kind if awkward I think. But yeah the resistance works either way. I don't recommend the machine for really hard core workouts. It will only hold up for light use.

You would be disappointed...not the same kind of workout as a bow flex. Better off joining a gym for the several months.

It depends on your level of fitness right now. Some of the exercises with the straps are more difficult, and you must have the right door to hang them from. I'd also ask why get back in shape before joining a gym? If you are going to join, join now and take advantages of what the gym has to offer. I like these for what they are, but I don't know if they are the first piece of exercise equipment I would recommend.

No, your body doesn't jiggle on the out side but you can feel it on the inside all the way to the top of your head. It has 3 settings, I use the middle on the most and sometimes the high setting. It vibrates in many directions where most only pivot up and down. I like this one, but it all depends on what you are looking for. I didn't really want the weights at first but now I like them, they really help you to work out better on the machine.

I think the best option is always to hang it from the ceiling, if you can. It is the cheapest option and most effective. There are a couple of problems I have experienced with stands. One is that they don't offer a wide range of motion. As you punch or kick, you will not want to stand in the same place. Most trainers will tell you to move around as you throw your strikes. A stand will limit your ability to do that because the legs get in the way. The other problem is that stand tend to move all over the place as you punch them. A lot of people will weight them down with something, but I have found that it takes a lot to get them to stay put. Unfortunately, the ceiling wasn't an option for me, so I bought a wall mount system. I'm pretty happy about it. It still limits my range to 180 degrees, but it's a lot better than the 45 - 80 degrees that I would get with a stand.

Ok i went into u s jaclean and scrolled all the way down to us jaclean-contact us. when that site came up i clicked on fitness then i scolled down to equipment and accessories. It seems to stimulate all the way up to the thighs is what that site or maybe it was the ebay site it said that on. also i noticed they have a core exerciser for 20.00 hope this helps.

It takes getting used to but it is not impossible in my opinion. The importance is to have support for your mid section. Don't over do additional weight such as dumb bells or kettle bells. Good buy for the price.

Exactly!!! No expert, but that was my basic idea in my statement. Body adjusts to change sometimes. A break is helpful - in my experience with this product.

It's smooth and challenging. It's not quite as strong resistance wise, as some powerful gym models--but the incline, combined with strength vs cardio programs make it a workout with teeth. I love it!

No it's not. You can get away with it if your going light on the weights but your head does hang over. It's good if your no taller than 5'8" to 5'10"

Yeah the vertical post only locks holds the weight up...doesn't help you pull it up if you're screwed from putting up too much weight.Same as bench pressing, if you have no spotter, don't put more weight than you know you can put up...This is a good solid machine though. Same design as one you could find at any gym. The gym machines don't have saftey mechanisms either.Good luck....don't put on more weight than you can handle hahah! Anytime you work out alone that is a major rule to follow...
