My Total Gym 1800 Experience

I bought the Total Gym 1800 having no reviews to go on but the reviews for 1700 gym. This gym is awesome, I had site to store shipping recieved it in a week. I put this gym together myself, (28y/o female) it is heavy, but I just dragged it on my carpet floor, you'll most likey want to leave it up because you have to remove all of the attachments to fold up. And there are tons of attachments to this gym. I have worked out on it a total of two times since I recieved it 3 days ago, and I am sore, but feel great. I broke out in a sweat working out on it.
Changing excercises is very fluid except when you go from pulley to power. I haven't had a chance to watch the 2 dvds that came with the gym. I haven't tried pilates on this gym. The crunch attachment is great I feel it in my upper abs, not really in my lower, I am sure I can find an excercise that will target the lower portion.
The only thing I can find fault with this gym is the wheels on the board some times slide off the track, but all you do is push the board a little and its back on track. Also, ladies make sure you wear you're hair tight, I have already had mine pulled a few times.
Now all I needed to do is get my fiancee to use the Total Gym 1800, because he does'nt think it could possibly give you a workout. But boy does it.
