Does this trainer include the instructional DVD?
Does this trainer have different elevations or does it just lie flat?
this machine will lie flat only. it is based on a pilates reformer, not a total gym.

edited to add: above link not working - try this one:
http://www.evine.com/flow-form-cardio-building-strengthening-pilates-machine/000-903.aspx
from the above link - if this item is discontinued, I assume you will not be able to (or have a hard time) finding accessories and replacement parts.
that said…
if i didn’t have my current pilates (reformer type) machine (and my previous “proformer” machine) I wouldn’t hesitate to get this and try it out.
a word of warning tho -
if you enjoy this style of exercise and want to invest in a more “professional” machine,
be prepared to give up some real estate in your home. these machines are large, but worth it.
eta:
a mentioned above, this will only lie flat for exercising, but there are cords to provide various resistance options.
with a machine like a reformer, less cords usually make for more abdominal work. more cords will work legs arms etc more.

Wow. Incredible to me that this machine is selling for $142.50 today on Evine (ShopHQ) or I can get it for $40 right here. Oh, decisions, decisions…
