you will love it. It took DH 5 years to talk me into getting mine. then he suggested I take a class somewhere. at the time the only places were Linda Taylor in Texas or I think Cindy Roth in Seattle. I chose Texas because it was closer an the plane ticket lets. LOL I am on the east coast. Anyway, first day I called home and said I really liked it. 2nd day, I called home and said I loved it. 3rd day, I called home and said Rick could deliver it in 2 weeks, because was delivering another one in the SE. He made me wait until I got home to talk about it. I did look at some others, but called back and got my Gammill 2 months later. had to wait for Rick to be coming to the SE again. Now the have dealers all over and it is easier to get to check one out. Check the gammill and others web sites and see if there are dealer in your area where you can test drive. a 4 hr drive is worth a test drive when you are leaning on the fence. good luck. 9 yrs later, I am still happy with what I did.
