I just received my Body by Jake Gravity force Trainer and am going to be working out on it along with a 1300 calorie diet meal plan that came with the machine. I might also do cardio exercises like running around the park for about 30 mins. I'll keep u guys posted on how I'm doing later.

I'm also gonna be juicing fruits with my jack lelane power juicer and drinking plenty of water!!

I ordered mine this past weekend, and should get it Thursday. I had both a Total Gym (Weider version) and a MyGym that didn't work out. Both lacked resistance and I wanted...among other things. Could you give a review of it...What are the pros and cons...and so on?

I also looked at the ProForm Cardio Glide Plus, but it was similar to the Total Gym in that it uses cables and pulleys like te Total Gym ( A negative in my opinion), and offered less resistance than the Gravity Force Trainer.

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

This thread is old but I can still give you a review. If you still have warranty on this machine... send it back. This machine does not work. It may only give you a little shoulder exercise but that's about it. I sent it back and did my research on here and got advice from Lenin. I ended up buying the Weider Platinum machine. I just love it. It's got all the resistance I need. Lenin recommended me the universal home gym over the weider but that costs more bucks if you have the money to spend. I didn't have the bucks to spend so I went with the weider. But the weider works well. Really well.

Plus, the weider costs the same as the gravity force trainer so you won't be losing any money there.

Thanks for the fast response. Unfortunately, I have little room. I looked at the Bioforce TNT, but it is too large. Did the Gravity Force Trainer really use 150% of body weight as resistance? Also, how does it compare to the Total Gym in terms of resistance (if you have ever used a TG)?

I recieve it tomorrow, and if I do not like it, I may go the Bullworker.

I've never used the total gym so I can't say nothing about that. But about the gravity force trainer... use it and see how you like it. I personally liked it in the beginning but after the first week I ended up hating it. It does not feel like you're working 150% of body weight as resistance in some exercises. But in other excercises it does. I'd recommend the weider machine. Works out way more body parts then the gravity force trainer. It doesn't take up much room when it's folded up but it does a little bit when it's folded down.
