What do you all have to say about this product? Has anyone actually used it? I don't know of anyone who has. To me it looks like a piece of useless crap.

The problem with bowflex and soloflex and the like is the resistance is not constant.

Say i'm benchpressing. I have no resistance at the start of the rep, and as the rep progresses the resistance increases, and when I go back to the starting position there is no resistance. Like a rubber band -- the resitance increases the further you get from the starting position.

Freeweights are much better.
