Amazon.com Product Description The Gyrotonic Transformer 1500 is a home gym system that gives you traditional and full-range-motion Gyrotonic workouts all in one unit, to sculpt your body, and teach it to move with more grace and coordination. In addition to traditional linear weight lifting exercises, like squats, curls, and presses, the Transformer also incorporates "Gyrokinesis", full-range-of-motion exercises to strengthen and lengthen ligaments and attachments as well as increase flexibility in all major muscle groups. Perform over 70 traditional and Gyrotonic full-range-motion exercises that are relaxing and refreshing to muscles and ligaments. Each Gyrotonic exercise allows your muscles to extend and contract fully, with uninterrupted motion that improves the range of movement and flexibility of every joint. You are able to both stretch and strengthen your muscles with minimal effort while mobilizing your joints and articulating your spine. Add attachments for specific sports training. With the baseball, golf, tennis, and boxing attachments, the Gyrotonic Transformer 1500 uses the unique Gyrotonic technique to train specific muscle groups to improve your sports performance. Gyrokinesis was created from a combination of moves used in swimming, gymnastics, yoga, dance, tai chi, and weight lifting where muscles are extended and contracted fully with uninterrupted motion. Gyrotonic exercises allow your body to achieve full range of motion to reshape, strengthen, tone, and improve not only how you look but also how you feel and move for the strength, speed, flexibility, hand/eye coordination, and overall body control needed to excel at any sport. The Gyrotonic Transformer comes with an instructional video, exercise chart, and owners manual. The machine is easy to use for both complex and simple exercises. The rotating arm resistance is adjusted with an easy to use knob. The rotating arms can also be connected to the bench at different angles for different exercises. The hand and foot strap resistance is adjusted by hooking different numbers of springs onto a pulley. There are three springs that can be adjusted for varying resistance on the different exercises. The backrest adds support and helps maintain form and alignment but can be easily removed for versatility. The bench can come away from the machine and is also great for stretching. The transformer offers 270 pounds of usable resistance without the bulk and awkwardness dumbbells. Specifications: - Measures: 72 x 62 x 76.5 inches (LxWxH)

Good... BUT August 7, 2008 The actual machin itself works wonderfully. Assembly was no problem, had it done in 15 minutes by myself. Doing the workouts it works out great.
However, a HUGE warning. The people who produce the videos for the Transformer are, first of all, only selling them in VHS Format. Second of all, they're no longer making copies of them and have no stock left of some of them. So. If you intend to follow any of the video workouts, find a different product, as you'll be left high and dry with this thing.
I'd recommend another product for this fact alone, unless you know precisely what workouts your doing ahead of time.
Weightlifting for yogis and dancers. July 14, 2008 It is a great buy compared to what was being talked about in 2001--$1200. The unfortunate thing is that the included level 1 video is VHS. If you don't know anyone with a converter, businesses such as Ritz Camera, Walgreens, and Costco can convert the tape to DVD for about $30. The level 2 and 3 workouts can be bought thru Stamina's (the makers of this Gyrotonic) website. (It would be great if Amazon would list these tapes for sale also.)

This is a great machine. I have been taking private pilates/gyrotonic transformer lessons and wanted to keep this up at home between classes. It is easy to use and you can work every muscle on it at your pace. Stamina is lovely to deal with. I had to convert the vhs to a dvd so I could see the tape and it is a very useful one indeed. I'm now would like a level 2 instructional dvd tape which I cannot find anywhere. This is a great home workout machine at a great price.
Love this machine February 21, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I recently started taking gyrotonic at my pilates studio and it's amazing. With this machine I can do all the same exercises at home. I have tried everything and this is hands down the best. My body has never felt better. I am a runner and for the first time in years can run with no pain and with much better performance. It's no wonder celebrities like Madonna and Teri Hatcher have picked it up. Machine is very sturdy and easy to assemble.
