I purchased this stepper for my small home gym I am in the process of putting together; I have no problem with the stepper, but it comes with a VCR tape not a DVD. Like most people, I no longer own a VCR player. I contacted the maker of the stepper via e-mail, (after going through many channels to get the address); they where friendly and helpful, but no dvd at this time. So, you may want to wait until a dvd is available before purchasing this item.
