I got this on the advice of my University's powerlifting team. It really does help activate your glutes in preparation for heavy lifts. The band is good quality and stretches nicely. So far so good.

I have a pair of Adidas Adipower and these. (I know, who the hell has two pairs of lifting shoes?). I moved and put my Adipowers in storage and duh, still needed them. Instead of rummaging through every item I had, I bought a new pair - these. I'll try to compare the two pairs the best I can.

Cost:
Fastlift: $45
Adipower: $175
Winner -- Fastlift, at less than a third of the price

Stability:
Fastlift: Rigid
Adipower: More rigid
Winner -- Adipower, lifting shoes main function is to be rigid, but this is about a tossup as both shoes have molded plastic cups in the heel. Adipower sole is thicker.

Comfort:
Fastlift: Very comfortable
Adipower: Comfortable
Winner -- Fastlift, I usually go in to gym and switch from tennis shoes to the Fastlifts and wear them the whole time and have no discomfort. Adipower is comfortable, but more rigid which makes them a less comfortable.

Durability: (I haven't worn either long enough to tell, so this is just a guess)
Fastlift: Seems well made
Adipower: Seems
Winner -- Adipower, seems slightly, very slightly better made. I don't do full olympic lifts, which is what I'd guess abuse any shoe the most (I do mostly compound moves - squats, deadlift, bench, rows) as those movements have more bending of the sole and have more "stomp" than a simple squat.

Heel height, effective:
Fastlift: 0.65"
Adipower: 0.75"
Winner - Either, as this is a preference. I use both pairs for standard deadlifting (not sumo) without issue. Sumo deadlift causes bad issues when you have a heel cup in my experience.

Looks:
Fastlift: Tons of options for colors and styles
Adipower: A few options for colors and styles
Winner - Either, as this a preference

Overall, here is the scoop... if you're looking for a good weightlifting shoe and don't want to break the bank the Innov-8 Fastlift is a great pair for half the price of the Adipower. If you're a Crossfitter I think that the Fastlift is a no brainer between the two as it is far more flexible and will let you do more of your workout with them on instead of swapping out (although, if you are doing Crossfit I'd suggest something even more flexible than the 325 such as the Innov-8 F-lite 250, not that I've tried that shoe, I'm just judging on it still having a little of a heel cup, but is more flexible than something like the Fastlift/Adipower/Romelos. The only reason IMHO you should go for the Adipower is if you're hellbent on a certain color/look/brand or maybe you're more serious about Olympic lifts and the durability of the Adidas pair would be better due to more rigidity.

Whenever I get the Adipowers back out of storage I'll have to do a more proper side-by-side comparison.

Great deal on this plyometric box!. I got it for $42!!. Was mildly used, missing a few screws, but no flaws. I bought the 2 matching screws @ Home Depot, Hubby assembled for me!!!.

It seems a good bar for the money.  Had I not been so economical I would have chosen a single-piece bar and pretended that I was training more safely for my less-than-extreme workouts, but this one will surely not deform under the loads I lift.  The bar seems well finished, offers a comfortable grip, I haven't yet found or been penetrated by little metal shards, and the clamps secure the plates adequately.  When I make the Olympic development squad I'll move to a 2" bar and find a spotter.

I would work with the seller again.  The product was exactly as described and came very promptly.  I was not as impressed with P90X itself.  I think I was built-up too much by all the hype and felt let down when I realized how much extra stuff I had to supply for the program to work (like the weights).

Great buy!! The racket provides good control and decent power. The seller Midwest Sports threw in free gutting to make the deal sweet. I am going to go back to them for my future purchases

Ordered the inversion table in early January, 2010.  I did my due diligence and looked at a bunch of tables.  The range in prices was interesting, since basically what you want to do is get upside down.  I ordered the Body Champ IT8070 purely from a price perspective.  I wasn't sure about inversion tables and figured this would be a good introduction.
The unit came via UPS.  The box had a small hole in it and the unit was short a bolt and a washer, which was easily replaced at the hardware store.  It took about 45 minutes to assemble and the instructions were very clear.  Parts of the unit were pre-assembled.  I was surprised at how sturdy the unit is and of the quality of construction.  I cannot imagine what is in the expensive units that make them that expensive.
I have been using the unit for a little over a month.  It is easy to use and for me, it works.  After the first 2 or 3 days, when I assumed the position, some really large pops would occur.  After this, just routine pops and stretches.  I have begun a workout routine on the unit, just for something to do while I am upside down.  Again, sometimes, I get some rather interesting pops.  The feeling I have is of being "looser".  My lower back feels more relaxed and I don't get the feeling that things are about to slip out or muscles will tighten.
All in all, I feel this was an excellent purchase, especially at this price point ($100.).  The important thing: my back feels great.

All together I think this is a pretty good deal for someone looking to get started with aerobic exercise.  The components are of decent quality: the band didn't seem like it would snap and the ball was easy to inflate.  At the time I was looking into prices, it was quite a bit cheaper to get everything as a set then to buy two or three of the individual pieces separately.

The included workout DVD is good as well, with a mix of step aerobics and light weight lifting using the dumbbells and band.

I believe the step is slightly smaller in side to side length then the steps you can buy individually.  A better step or more weights would have bumped this up to five stars, but that being said, I haven't seen anything better on sale.

One note of caution: when I first received the package, the cardboard box containing everything was broken and the weights were missing.  I wrote Amazon and they sent me a replacement and a pre-paid return shipping label  fairly quickly, even though the actual merchant was Target.

Own,

Guide - Picked this up first since I wasn't sure where to start. Was a good introduction and helped rough up my hands for later. Was too easy and ordered the Trainer. Still use for cool down some times.

Sport - Bought the sport to help build up my left hand for the trainer. I use it to warm up for my grip workouts.

Trainer - Got the trainer 3 - 6 reps with right hand, 1 -3 with left. Left hand suffered from some pains while using. I ordered the sport to fill in the gap my left hand needed. Currently at 3 - 6 reps left hand, 12 reps right hand.

.5 - On the way! *Received the .5 today. Was easily able to close the .5 for 3 - 6 reps with each hand. Seems that if you can handle the trainer for 6 - 12 reps then the .5 shouldn't offer much of a challenge. After getting my hands on the .5 I'm feeling like even the 1 shouldn't be much of a challenge.

I'm 2 months into my hand strength training. Have made noticeable increases in my grip strength and forearm size. This has translated positively to other workouts.

My suggestion for anyone just starting out with grip training is pick up an easier gripper like the sport, and a tougher one like the Trainer to get started. Use the Sport to break your hands in and the Trainer for more serious work.

*Think I'm going to need one of those Caddys here soon.

Got this used at a used price.  I work out with it a few times a week even after a few months. Just what I needed at a price I could afford.

Really great experience with this seller. I originally ordered the black bar, but they contacted me and said they they had recently sold out and offered me an upgraded product at the same price. As for the bar itself, it feels great! Haven't loaded it up yet, but doing cleans and stuff at 135 feels fine. My collars also fit perfectly. Very happy.

At first I didn't want to pay 100.00 dollars for any type of fitness equipment, however, when I saw the benefits online and next day shipping.  I was super excited to purchase and use it.  I use this piece of equipment almost everyday and I am PLEASED I purchased it!  :)  MUST BUY!

Awesome barbell. Exactly 44.4 lbs on the dot i weighed it. Great buy for its price. Can hold several hundred pounds these would be good for just about anyone in the gym for any lift. Obviously if you are lifting an excess amount of weight the bar will bend but for me I never need to put on more then 350 pounds and it works just fine.

Wow, some people just cannot be pleased. Reading some of these reviews, people sure are nit-picky about their weights (complaints about the paint chipping and such). When you're shopping for weights, you're shopping for one thing and that's mass. Just massive objects to throw around to gain muscle. This is by far, the best-valued starter set you're going to find on Amazon (or in any brick & mortar store). The only exception to this fact is if you find a used set on Craigslist or another personal ad.

I bought the cheapest option, the grey weights with not hand holds. If you get yourself a stand to put these plates on, you don't need the fancier options. This tier 1 level set will be perfect for your beginner gains period. 300 lbs is a lot and if you make it through the first year with proper technique, you can, with satisfaction and confidence, purchase some of the nicer, more expensive kinds (like the rubber matted option @ ~ $500). Another good thing is you can still use these weights, they're not going to fall apart anytime soon.
I believe the bar holds ~500lbs. Again, a great value as a 7ft barbell is around $100 on Amazon.

The weights and the barbell may be scratched up a bit from shipping, but that's to be expected and honestly, who cares? They're weights, not an HDTV. Also, you need to have some common sense and realize that anything except the above-mentioned rubber padded weights are not protected from damage associated with being dropped. So if you're doing heavy-lifting and you fail a set and drop these things on your floor, there's a chance you could do some damage. Do what I did and get a pair of adjustable saw horses for an improvised catch system. That way, you can lift heavy with confidence that you can release the weights safely and they won't slam to the floor, causing damage/injury. Most saw horses are rated at over 1,000 lbs, so they can take it.

I had a good experience in buying and assembling this machine. This was my first experience assembling anything and I did fine. It feels a little loose when I am exercising, probably need someone stronger to tighten it up. I would recommend the product, it delivers what it promises.
