2.0 out of 5 stars I broke it in one week, January 11, 2010

I'm looking at it right now, hanging on the door. One cord gone all wobbly and crooked. The little rubber bands are sticking out of the yellow threads. They quietly snapped at some point. It was a good workout while it lasted. I haven't been able to find any replacement 'resistance bands' available on the 'net. The metal and plastic parts look quite durable. One reviewer complained about the mini-DVD. That reviewer might have tried to play it in his DVD player. I have a cheap player and it played the mini DVD just fine.

UPDATE: They replaced it via amazon for free. It's now on my door again, and hopefully it will last longer. This time I'm not using the little clip they provided: I'm not sure what it does, and I'm suspicious that it caused the damage to the cord.

UPDATE: One of the bands broke again, after only a couple uses. We returned it for a partial refund. They withheld a certain amount (miscellaneous charges). I went and got a Weider X-Factor instead, which uses tubing instead of bungee cords. I will review the X-Factor after I use it awhile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Altus! a forth of the price and exactly the same as the more expensive versions., May 4, 2010

I use the altus for judo drills in my mma school and it works great. It has the exact same components as the body by jake version, but is about a forth of the price. We also use it for some twisting exercises as well as shoulder rehab and boxing drills. NO complaints on the price or the equipment. The judo drills put an extreme amount of work on these guys and we have 4 in active use and have laid about six of the bungees to rest. If you wanted to use as it's intended I would defiantly buy this one instead of the more expensive version that body Jake and Weider make. As far as the dvd goes it generic but will get you started... The handle hooks are plastic but we haven't had any break...

2.0 out of 5 stars weak resistance, March 30, 2010

first off it should be said that you should have an arms lengths distance between the door and the wall, or you won't get a full range of motion, and will not be able to do all the exercises. secondly I found that it offered limited resistance. i had no problem doing 12 bicep curls; to compare I often do 20 pound bicep curls. solely a product for beginners. If they tacked on 1-2 more sets of resistance bands it would be perfect.
