Default Tower 200

So I saw a commercial last night for this thing:

http://www.thetower200.com/default.aspx?adid=twr9003

It's the new fitness "machine" from Body By Jake. Randy Couture (UFC) is all over the commercial endorsing it. It looks like a decent piece of equipment.

I've been wanting to go the gym lately, but I'm moving soon and thus, will need to pick a diff gym soon. I also don't have a lot of money right now (just bought the Z a month ago and have been paying for tune-up, tag registration, insurance, etc.) This seems like a cheap alternative, at least temporarily.

I'm gonna buy it because it's only $15. Hell, I spend more than that on a nice dinner. I'm just curious if anyone else has used this or know anyone who has. Or if you know of any other similar products that work.

I actually posted the thread this morning while getting ready for work and didn't have much time to review the entire website. Glad you found that.

Had they mentioned it in the commercial, I might be more apt to trying it out, but that kind of sneakiness does not bode well with me. ;/

Pretty sneaky how they did not mention the extra $145.

There's one called the X-Factor that is 99.99 through Amazon. I saw both commercials about a break apart. I'm interested just b/c I'm not a gym rat, but would like to have something at home that I can use. Reviews seem good for the the tower and not as high for the X-factor. *shrug*

All I can imagine is how stupid I'd look trying to duplicate those Couture moves on the commercial.

*fist comes back*

The commercial shows some pretty wacky exercises.
