During covid we had to move workouts to the garage and I wasn't sure how intense of a workout we could get. The vibrations on this machine really ramp up even a quick workout. The pads are a great add to do ab work and then get a quick massage after each workout. Love the pre-programmed workouts to get ideas and then do it yourself workouts for more targeted workouts for what my husband and son and I wanted individually. What an incredible unique product!
