After 2+ years of taking classes, I finally took the plunge and bought my own. It's been amazing to be able to hop on the machine for quick 15-20m workouts during the workday or longer ones as I please. I like this model because it is low to the floor and I can have it vertical stand for easy storage in my apartment (great that it doesn't lean against the wall). I think the quality of the machine was worth the upgrade over getting the At Home SPX. In the month I've had it I've already recouped half the cost of the machine in would be group reformer classes. It's worth it for sure!
