I just purchased the ironman gym. It was easy to assemble and I already tested it out. Let's just say, I'm going to have to put my foot/feet on a chair in the beginning, but that's okay, I'll improve over time (with Cathe's workouts I always do)! I suggest you try to find it at CVS or some other local place--cost is $29.99. If you go onlline to ironman, they charge $19.98 for S&H--That's 50% mark-up. I saw them at the local CVS here in Maryland, so I'm sure if you look around you'll find one locally too.
All the best,
M
