I purchased it thinking great up-beat music with a good work-out. You can barely hear the music, even if you do use the feature where the music comes out louder. It's just not what I expected.Not my kind of workout would rather use my Firm tapes.Used it three times (bores me) You do work up a sweat, but I don't know it's just not my kind of workout.I will stick to the elliptical/treadmill/weights even stepper, but not this.
