This exercise device is like new. The gym 1000 is great if you want workout equipment but don't have a lot of space for several different machines. It folds up and can be stored under a bed. It is perfect if you don't have a gym nearby and want a bargain piece of equipment to keep you in shape. You can work out all different areas of your body by using your own body weight as resistance. The machine allows you to adjust the weigh resistance by raising or lowering the bench (higher incline means more weight). You sit, kneel or lie on a padded glide board mounted on incline rails, then raise your own weight by pulling on the handles attached by pulleys to the glide board. This all sounds simple but it is amazing how pumped up you feel after a good workout.
