I saw this website from Mypoints.com and I have to say that it is perfect for me. I have had the Gold's Gym Trainer 550 for almost one year now and when used it is very beneficial. My favorite feature are the set programs. They allow me to exercise at a higher frequency without trying to figure out the setting controls. I am 20 something and am using it to get in shape. Everyone in the house has been on the machine: from my 60 something year old boyfriends mom, the hyper - active dogs and everyone else. My only complaint is the weight limitations...The fan is really nice becuase it is a way to cool down without getting off track. The one thing to avoid is letting the Gold's Gym Trainer 550 become a laundry holder. I did this by putting it in front of the TV. Mind you I still sit on the couch and watch the equipment sometimes but I am trying to work on that :), In order to get the 50 points from Mypoints.com I had to type 900 characters. That last sentance did the job!
