Body Sold Heavy Duty Roman Chair GRCH322 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought one of these three years ago.
There is little question that this is a basic "Roman Chair." You CANNOT get a better exercise for your back, abdomen or lower shoulders.
This will help you do situps and backups. It will strengthen your back and abdomen so that you can easily engage in other more aerobic exercises.
After you get up to about thirty reps on this chair, you will be able to walk better and perform almost any other kind of exercise with ease.
I highly recommend this particular model because it is very well-built, very well-engineered, and, "Body Solid" guarantees it for a lifetime. It is a deal on this listing because you get free shipping. For a heavy piece of equipment like this, free shipping brings this piece within the very affordable range.

Champion Back and Abdominal Exercise Bench Gym Equipment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent piece of equipment for the money. I bought it from [...] for [...] plus tax(paid tax only because it was sent from a Texas based company and I live in the Houston area) with free shipping. The pictures are a little deceiving. It shows to be a one piece all weld construction, but it's not. The leg stem and the section with the seat and handles bolt to the horseshoe shaped base. But once I put together, it is solid a rock. It took a whole 15 minutes to put together and that was with my 4 yr old trying to help me.
When they advertise that it will not topple over, it surely will NOT do that. It's very stout, unlike some of the $300 and $400 units you get that will get wobble after a few years of use. Also, It has a good powder coating. The padding in the picture they use looks cheap, but what you actually get is not. They use thick padding in the seat and rollers with a good/thick vinyl cover.
To sum it all up: It would be nicer if the leg piece was "up and down" adjustable, but works great as is. It's like the old style roman chair/hyperextension in the high school gym back in the 80's. And one more thing: The packaging was pretty beat up and opened and therefore was scruffed up a bit. Waiting to hear back from [...] about that.
Hope this is a helpful review. I tried to find one, but couldn't. So, I thought I would put one out there.

Giant Ab/Back Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The base metal part came in a little crooked. Doesn't bother me at this point, but long term might affect the machine.
The instructions are incorrect. The very first step show L-shaped part which is a little different from what it really is. There are 2 triangular platters which are never mentioned in the instructions and have to be attached to the L-shaped part and the other part specified in 1st step. I realized that towards the end of the assembly, so had to dis-assemble and reattach those platters.
The machine however is good for what it's supposed to be used for.

TKO Hyper Extension Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used the cybex hyperextension machines at the gym. and wanted to get something like that-but 700 for 1 equipment seems toomuch-. After much research found this product, but no reviews on it. So wasnt sure, i wanted something that was stable. My lower back gives me trouble, so wanted the best possible product. this is a great product. It does the regular 45 degree hyperextension, plus u can set various other angles to do different exercises. highly recommend it. at about 80 some pounds it has a heavy base which makes it very stable.
Now the bad...
If you use the tools with it, you will defnitely need two people, and still take forever to assemble it. If you have your own tools you will probably assemble it in 30 mins.
But i gues to assemble a stable product it requires work. Overall it was defnitely worth it.

Powertec Fitness P-HC10 45-Degree Dual Hyperextension / Roman Chair Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this Hyper/roman chair made by Powertec because I own Powertec's leverage workbench and it is an OUTSTANDING, SOLID piece of equipment so, I thought that I couldn't go wrong with their Roman Chair- I was correct to think so. The P-HR 45 by Powertec feels extremely SOLID while in use. The previous review complained about the pads being set to far apart- I did not find that to be so. I actually think that Powertec did this so that men could do Hyperextensions on this equipment in comfort and not have to worry about the family jewels being ruined. (Thanks Powertec!) Most Hyper/Roman chairs that I have seen are a bit huge. This chair surprisingly takes up very little space. It is very important that you FOLLOW DIRECTIONS when putting this together. It states that you should NOT tighten the bolts when putting this together until all the bolts are in place. I put all bolts into place and then tightened them starting from the bottom of the chair and worked my way up. TRUST me when I tell you that you should take heed to this as it really does make a difference as to how solid this machine will feel to you when you are using it. To me, there is nothing more important than to have your abs and lower back in there absolute best shape. Do yourself a favor and add this EXCELLENT piece of equipment to your home gym.

Roman Chair - Hyper Extension Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this with low expectations, mostly because I've seen other models at this price point that were pretty flimsy. Not so with this one. Very sturdy with everything tightened down, yet still relatively light and easy to pick up and move if you need. Assembly was very straight-forward and only took about 20 minutes. The two reasons I give it four rather than five stars are that it isn't as comfortable as it could be and that while it is adjustable, you have to tighten the pin down a lot to hold it steady which won't make multiple users happy. Overall very happy with it though.

Valor CB-13 Back Extension 2CB0131BM Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great product because it is well built. The only problem is it's sized for taller people - 5'9+ or so. It's too tall for me, but I think I can cut the sliding post down three inches or so. The two pads that touch your thighs would be more comfortable if they were rounded at the top, so I just put a folded towel over the top edge. Other than that, it's well designed and should last for years.

Stamina Ab/Hyper Bench Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Note that this review refers to the identical Stamina Ab/Hyper bench bought directly from Amazon [...] (with free super saver shipping) and not from Target [...]. You can locate the Amazon.com item by searching Stamina ab/hyper bench in the Sports and Outdoors section.
Delivery: the item arrived promptly and was well packaged; there was no damage.
Assembly: uncomplicated and took under 30 minutes; instructions were straightforward; the bench can be easily folded and stored away.
Country of origin: China.
Construction: the steel frame is fairly light, but sturdy; no rickety parts; every single joint is thoroughly welded; the bench does not rock or tip during exercise; paint job is A+; padding is a little on a flimsy side and I do not expect it to last as long as my previous bench; the manufacturer specifies 250 lbs as a user weight limit.
Dimensions: the seat is only 28.5 inches long, so decide for yourself whether this is adequate for you; I would estimate that anyone over 6 ft tall will have difficulty using this product for sit-ups.
The vertical component of the bench (tilted 40 degrees and used for back hyperextension exercises) has adjustable height and will accommodate just about any sized human (but do not forget the 250 lbs weight limit); it does excellent job isolating the lower back muscles.
Overall appearance: it looks like a quality product overall, from stitching to glossy finish; the design is certainly compact and clever for what this bench does.
Price: $[...] for a bench like this, including delivery, is a good value.
Rating: 4 stars; there are nicer products out there, but they are all bulkier and more expensive.

Powerline PHYP200X 45 Degree Hyperextension Bench Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nice, sturdy quality unit and fairly easy to assemble. Much better than a cheaper one I purchased that collapsed on me, so worth the extra money. (I'm 260# and have no problems or concerns with this unit capacity-wise.) My only complaint is that the "handlebars" are too close together, and I have to concentrate on missing them. Six inches further apart would be nice. If you're average-sized or smaller, you shouldn't have a problem.

EF Fitness Roman Chair EF-4429 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this from [...] on a Veteran's Day sale for less than $120, including shipping! I wanted something with a small footprint, and took a close look at the Stamina Ab/Hyper bench, but $149 was the cheapest I could find for that. The EF actually looks more like a Roman Chair, so when the EF went on sale for $29 less, I pulled the trigger. I ordered it on Monday morning, it got here Wednesday afternoon. It was fairly well packed, but one of the plastic chrome-plated end caps for the ankle cushions arrived broken. Don't care. It took about an hour, maybe an hour 15 minutes to assemble, and assembly was easy and straightforward. The parts are machined to pretty good tolerances, but not super precise. You will really need a socket set to tighten down those bolts, or the machine will wobble and shake. Once the bolts were tightened the way they should be, all wobble and shake was gone, and the machine is very solid. Only time will tell how durable the cushions are. Now the cons: If you are shorter than about 5 feet tall, or taller than 6 foot 2, you might not want this machine, because the horizontal distance between the seat cushions and the ankle support cushions is NOT adjustable. To get that adjustability, you will want to pay about $250 for a Powertec, BodyCraft, or similar machine. The EF4429 also sits a little lower to the floor than what you might be used to at the gym. My seat cushions are 34 inches off the floor, and I could easily see a tall person (6 foot 3 or more) actually hitting their head on the floor at full contraction. I gave it four stars for these reasons, but for my personal situation, it's a five star machine. If you are a medium-sized person, I see little point in spending more money, this is a great value.

Whether your goal is a long lean torso, chiseled well-defined abdominal muscles, a better posture or the elimination/prevention of back pain, the EF-4429 will help you meet any of these objectives. The EF-4429 is a high quality roman chair with a high weight capacity. While you can perform a variety of exercises on this one machine, the main exercises are back extensions and abdominal crunches. Back extensions are done lying face down while abdominal crunches are performed sitting face up. Both require your torso to be resting on the dual chest/hip pads and your lower legs securely braced around the 4 adjustable foam rollers. There are widely angled handles mounted beneath the chest/hip pads that aid in positioning yourself properly on the EF-4429 as well as serve as a safety feature to steady yourself should you exhaust during a workout. The dual chest/hip pads allow for users of various hip widths to use the unit with comfort while not sacrificing stability or functionality. The ankle pads are adjustable to multiple positions with the spring loaded pin on the rear of the unit. This will accommodate individuals of various heights or leg lengths.

Comfortable foam rollers hold ankles firmly in place during ab crunches and standing hyper-extension exercises for the lower back. High-density foam pads provide comfort for back, buttocks, and elbows. Non-slip caps on the frame's ends ensure the bench will not move during exercises. The bench measures 53-1/2 inches long x 27 inches wide x 28 inches high and weighs 44 pounds. It can be folded for storage.

Roman Chair Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like this chair much better than the ones where you sit high up off the ground with your legs straight out, and your feet are secured by only your toes under a single set of pads.
I also like the fact that the support pad is declined "backwards". I believe this is a more natural position and allows for great, safe, natural, range of motion, with less stress on your lower back. Especially since the legs are not pointing straight out, like in other models. Most pads are horizontal, or worse, inclined "forwards", which is OK if doing hyperextensions for the back, but it's not ideal for doing abdominal work. Most "Roman Chair / Hyperextension" combo machines (the ones that are for both back and abs) are more user friendly for the Lower Back when doing hyperextensions. But not so user friendly for the abs, especially if you are just an average Joe starting out (as opposed to the fitness models shown standing next to the machines). I particularly believe if you are overweight, especially if heavy, you really want to pick the right machine for ab work. A poorly designed machine will stress the lower back even more, disproportionally, the heavier you are. This machine is great for beginners or advanced users. It's also much easier to grab an olympic plate off the floor while using this model, because it sits low to the ground, and you can do sit-ups with the plate across your chest. If you are just starting out, keep your hands low, near your hips. As you progress you can raise your arms up higher, eventually over your head, to add "weight" to the exercise. Eventually adding weights if you want. The unit is also very compact, lightweight, and stores easier than most models. It's quite rugged, and very stable while using it. Assembly was a cinch. No complaints. I highly recommend this model. Note: if you are very tall, over 6 ft, it is possible to hit your head on the ground if you swing back wildly. Just be mindful of that.

Best Fitness BFAB20 Semi Recumbent Ab Bench Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use this ab bench several times a day and it has helped strengthen my lower back and abs. I believe it has improved my core strength, too. It is surprisingly sturdy, of moderate size, and easy to use. I feel great from using it. Upholstery is good. I think it is well made. It was designed and engineered in the USA and made in China. Good product, I find.

Make any time crunch time with the Best Fitness BFAB20 semi-recumbent ab crunch. Unlike some other ab machines--which require the agility of an acrobat to be thoroughly effective--the BFAB20 puts you in a comfortable seated position without sacrificing your workout efficiency. The ergonomically designed machine is built to help you tighten up your midsection, strengthen your back, and improve your core stability, with your choice of toning your lower abs with knees raises or your upper abs with abdominal crunches. To perform ab crunches, simply use the upholstered upper back support, textured grip handles, and standard weight post. Performing knee raises is just as easy thanks to the adjustable-length, two-position footrests. Add in a three-position upholstered seat--which starts at 45 degrees but offers two additional 5-degree reclining positions--and you have everything you need to design an effective ab regimen in the comfort of your own home.
The BFAB20 is an essential workout accessory because your core is where all your body movements originate. Your abdominal muscles support and protect your internal organs and aid in breathing, especially when you exhale. The abs also team up with your back muscles to control trunk motions, such as twisting and bending. The BFAB20 takes the next step by also strengthening and toning the front of the thighs and increasing hip flexibility. The end results include a flatter stomach, better defined abs, well-developed obliques, a more upright posture, and greater support for your spine. Other features include a 1.75-inch upholstered seat, a durable powder-coated finish, and safety pins and bolts that allow for easy disassembly or permanent setup. The BFAB20 measures 22 by 46 by 64 inches (W x H x D) and carries a three-year warranty.
