    BUMP. :) I've been interested in these, too...

    I found some consumer reviews that weren't too hot -- especially bad issues w/customer service (see Amazon).
    The workout you get on it is good...but sounds like they're overpriced / unreliable.

    I've never used one, but it seems like when you're into your work out it might be tricky to not fall off, lol. Lord knows I have enough trouble not stepping on the edge of a regular treadmill. Also if you ever want to jog/run I would think this would be completely useless for that. Just a few thoughts.

    I have a treadmill, was just looking for something to change up my cardio workouts. I will have to do some research.

    The machine is a gimmick machine. The treadmill movement itself provides NO advantage over normal treadmill incline walking, either for fitness or weight loss. It's overpriced and not very versatile. Unless you really, really, really, really like the movement--so much that it is the only thing that would inspire you to follow a regular exercise routine--I don't think they are a very good purchase.

    I had a trainer who had one in his home, I loved it. It is much harder than it looks and a fantastic cardio workout
