My concern is having the zipper break or get stuck.

This is my concern also.

I'm astonished these didn't sell out quickly. Hitting the $25 mark is incredible. I imagined this: When FIRMDirect website / store suspended service, they (or Gaiam) still had lots of stuff left. So are they channeling it through Amazon as the seller instead? This way they don't have to give the appearance of being a bargain basement under their own name? I feel badly that Collage is now sitting on stock that has been undercut. But the price is making me watch this story in all my groups - it has been very exciting to read about, and everyone that bought it seems to love it. Win win.

It was this clip. And it is Emily, but she doesn't bother me! I like her BSS2 workout, and Cardio Sculpt Fusion is my favorite light day workout. What I won't like about this workout is the fact that you are lunging on the zip trainer, raising and lowering the ball above your head for an entire minute. If the workout is only 15 minutes long, my legs should be moving the whole time!

I'm more afraid my foot or ankle would fall apart on me.
A firm bungee rebounder is as much as my poor feet can handle. My looser bungee mat was too unstable and caused me lots of foot and ankle issues.

I bought it at this price just to try out the Zip Trainer and the med ball. For that price, it was worth it. I really wanted to buy an Ugi ball but it's $145. If I really love the Zip Trainer, and use it for other workouts, and it falls apart(zipper breaking,ect) I can always invest in the Ugi ball.

I've had the ZIP since before it hit the market and I LOVE it! It has not fallen apart, broken the zipper nor changed shape. I wanted an UGI forever and this was better than that IMO. You can change out the weight. There are weighted balls on Amazon that are the same dimensions.

I started the thread, but I'm not caving on it.....I have too much already!

Glad I could enable others, though!
