i was thinking about buying the TC5000 for my birthday. ive already saved up for most of it but i cant tell if it will truly help me shed pounds and inches or if its all just hype. replys are greatly appreciated!

before paying retail - check out craig's list

I have one and love it! Very well built machine and it doesn't take up much space. I bought mine off of Ebay and I have seen them on Craigslist from time to time. Good luck!
