Does anyone own a Total Gym?

Or something similar? Don't want to go to the gym and really hate free weights/kettle bells. I'm wondering if these machines really are effective.

I bought one and returned it.

I have a gym membership but wanted something I could do on days I can't get to the gym. I didn't care for it, at all.

You find yourself having to constantly adjust your equipment depending on the exercise, and I don't mean simply increasing the weight for example. I mean raising and lowering the seat/bed, which is kind of wonky on this particular machine. The design is not great.

Also, very interesting but when I first used the machine I found myself nauseous and dizzy right afterwards. I actually couldn't get through the workout! I get motion sickness pretty quickly, so the constant sliding up and down motion of this machine really did a number on me. This is the main reason we returned it!

I also got motion sickness from using The Total Gym. I sold it to a friend.
