It is sturdy and well built. I use a Precor 240i at the gym and this product is as good if not better. It has more variety of exercises and is cheaper. In particular, there is a calf stretcher. The front rollers are also better for hamstring stretches in my opinion. You can view all the exercises it can do on Youtube.It is larger, heavier, and more sturdy than the Precor 88 vs 60 pounds, but I think most people would be happy with either product.It has all the tools you need to assembly it. One person can put it together. You do not need a second person.There are very few pieces so it is easy to assemble. All the nuts and bolts are clearly labeled and laid out all on a single piece of cardboard. Two of the longest bolts were mislabeled, but it was easy to figure out.The box it came in had some damage, but the contents inside are pretty well protected.There are some cheaper products out there, but some of the reviews said they were not sturdy and I wanted a product that would last a long time.These stretch machines are an easy, fast, and simple way to stretch everyday. 10 basic stretches for at least 10 seconds, I expect I can do that. These machines are pricey, but hopefully they will help alleviate some aches and pains. They are much easier to use than having to get on the floor or use multiple machines for stretching.
