Aero Pilates 3 Corded Rebounder

This deadly looking machine is the Aero Pilates 3 Corded machine WITH Re-bounder...dun da, daaaaa. Your common questions: 
Is it cheap? My opinion no, about $300 depending on where you purchase it.
Is it worth it? Again, no, if you don't reach out for those weights, or even your own side walk, you'd probably also use this for a few weeks max.
Where do I get one? I usually lean toward Amazon, the customer service is beyond satisfying, see their smiley box at my front door always brings a twinkle to my eye. The link below includes the stand and an extra cord.

I don't feel like this machine glides the way it is shown to. The cords aren't comfortable except for a few simple movements that just don't cut it. I have Fibromyalgia, so I fall under the category of needing exercise that is low impact. This almost gets the job done, except that even with little to no resistance in the bands I still have too much tightness and require far too many days for repair. Save your bucks friends, it's not so sleek and easy to fold and hide, or fun to use. Honestly you can get the same exercise/movements from using a hard floor and a rag, a body ball, and my personal favorite, Tracy Anderson exercises. 

Sorry Aero Pilates, this one isn't for me. Some people love this machine, I'm not spending the extra $100 for the stand, maybe that makes a difference??? I just don't see it. I'm not a fan of losing space and being slightly irritated while exercising, did I mention the ropes are crazy hard to get even??? Not to mention the resistance bands will naturally break and fray underneath the body board, and this personally scares me....I just don't want a band to the face. It's also just not big enough, I'm 5'3, and my husband is 5'11, we both feel the same way, he just won't touch it, he goes in like a lamb, but minutes later is out like a lion...an angry, frustrated lion.

Here's my favorite starter video for the Tracy Anderson Method, it's easy, you're not really sweaty, and it's quick!
