Yeah, I would say it comes down to if you can have the drive to workout at home. A lot of the time I find people buy those and then since they are home, they always find ways to get around working out. There is always something at home to drive you away from it. When you drive down to the gym, you are there, you might as well workout without any distraction. So if you can get into a workout routine at home with it, I think you can still do just as well.
I've never owned one, so I couldnt help you as to if it works well or not.
