short answer: they do kinda sell it to fat women who want an easy fix. yes. so i wouldnt like go and say "yes! this is totally what i recommend".

long answer: i saw this in an add online on one of those discount pages (you buy this cupon and get x service with 80% off!). i said why the hell not.

the add was worded and targeted towards middle aged women. i had several injuries (cracked spine and shoulder dislocations) and am atm waiting for my 2nd shoulder surgery. since you are on a bed for the exercise part this helps lower chances of injury.

the bed is something like a torture chamber or a very weird coffin. there are 4 straps coming out of it (with a string). google old pilates beds something like that. there is a plastic cover so they can pump hot air inside. the temp is 37c (sorry... i ll google the farenheit). temperature of the human body. and believe me, i know!! wtf?! such bullshit, right?! BUT the heat actually helps speed up your warmup.

now. you do your normal bodyweight exercise but with straps attached that provide extra resistance.

i do 3x 30 reps and i can very much see my results and i feel my stamina improved. i ve been into various types of exercise for the past 10 years and i honestly prefer this to the crossfit thingy i tried but it still isnt better than my step aerobics.

my fitness band puts it into moderate exercise category with my heart beatat an average of about 105 but i do hit all categories depending on the exercise. i made them add a rowing machine motion cause of my back injury. it hits all body parts.

anyway...im not english so sorry i needed so many words.
