I .have the Mari Win or Acellerator but have not used it yet. I hope it doesn't break as it was expensive enough

I have no first-hand experience with any of these, but I read reviews of the wins or accelerator on amazon and it was mostly all about how the thing breaks after just a few uses.

I have something very similar to the BodyGym, which I bought at T.J. Maxx a few years ago. I can't remember exactly what they called it, Pilates something, I think, but it was sold under the Danskin label. The main difference between it and the BodyGym is that mine doesn't have the black cord that connected the 2 hand loops to make a full circle, if that makes sense. It's been a while since I used it, but I think the idea behind it was that it was supposed to provide a reformer-type workout.

It's actually pretty sturdy, too. I've used it with the Mari Winsor w/o's and it seemed identical to her apparatus.

If anyone orders the BodyGym, could you please report back? I'm especially curious about the dvd that comes with it. TIA!

Old thread alert:

The Bodygym with Marie is playing again this morning on QVC. On sale for 39.98 plus 5 shipping.

I'm thinking of getting this to put in my travel van. Any thoughts? Is it durable? Dumb? A waste?

OLD THREAD ALERT:

just saw this infomercial on the ICTV channel.

Marie Osmond has a separate website now selling this item for about the same price - 2 payments of $19.99 + s/h and if you call 1-800-607-7379, you could get free shipping. comes with the bar, the band, 2 DVDs, access to online workouts, and a drawstring bag. and tape measure. LOL.

www.bodygym.com

i had Lifeline's version of this bar, and i used the gadget with Keli Roberts' ExerBar VHS workout by Spri. That is a really good workout. the ExerBar is made from metal, whereas Lifeline's version is made out of strong plastic and designed differently.

there weren't a lot of DVDs or workouts back then, so i ended up donating the Lifeline gadget.
