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.

Star Trac ST Fitness 8510 Utility Bench Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Amazon customer Service,I am reaffirming what I told you in an earlier complaint call. I have the recored the 10:35am September 27, 2010 phone conversation between myself and Travis and a recorded a copy of the 5:15pm September 29, 2010 message left by the same person. In it, you will hear Travis state that he WILL NOT do ANYTHING to help us until I withdraw the complaint that I was forced into filing! In the September 27 conversation, you will hear the same person giving reasons why he NEVER returned any of my calls from the prior week! The September 27, 2010 conversation was the first time that Travis and I ever spoke and you can clearly here the laim excuse he gives for not calling prior! You can also clearly hear him try to give us the impression that he is going to help my son and I.
During this call, Travis instructed me to check my email to answer a proir email sent by one of his subordinates. I did this after I got off the pgone with him on Monday moring...which he is now trying to show as proof that he is trying to help.
The truth of the matter is that Travis and I never spoke before this and never spoke again! You can clearly hear him admit that we had never spoke proir and phone records will show that we never spoke since! Travis's only concern on the 27th, was whether or not we still had the packing material...not my son's safety! You can hear me make it very clear to him that I wanted to exchange the defective bench for one that was safe and that I was willing to pay up to $200 more for the replacement. You can hear me ask him if he would be willing to pick up the defective bench and do an exchange, with me paying the difference. When I asked him this, he did not give me an answer but instead asked if we still had the packaging?! I told him that I didn't know because it was a gift for my son and I had to call and ask him. Travis said he wanted the packaging so he could resell the bench! you can then hear me ask Travis to send me some suggestions for a safe replacement, meanwhile I would call my son that evening about the packaging. I told Travis that I would call him tomorrow, after speaking to my son. You will get the distint impresseion that he planned help us as I did!
The next morning I callled Travis, but he didn't answer his phone. You will then hear the message that I left for him. I simply stated that I spoke to my son and he no longer had the packaging, receipt or the manifest. Travis never called me back! I called and again several times but not only was Travis not answering his phone, but no one was answering the main number now either! That evening I called Amazon customer Service and told them what was going on...EVERYTHING! The young lady suggested that I file an A-Z Claim and that she agreed that something was wrong!
I never did hear anything from Travis or anyone else until Wednesday evening the business day had concluded. Travis had caled my cellular to let me know that he was now aware of my filed claim! You can hear Travis clearly state, that he had no intention of doing anything for me until I withdrew the claim! I was shocked and also thought it was also funny, since he NEVER promised to do anything for me in the first place! I did not respond to this call but instead paced a call to Amazon Customer Service! I spoke with a gentleman who told me that this is not the way claims are to be handled. He told me that the seller should know better and NOT to withdraw the claim. He told me that he would note the account and I told him that I had this on tape if Amazon wanted to hear it!
On the following Friday evening, I sent Travis several emails. I wanted to know why he was treating us like this, lying to us and refusing to return my phone call on Tuesday! He then had the nerve to send me a copy of my Monday email that HE asked me to repond to after our only conversation on Monday morning!? I couldn't believe it, but now understood why he returned my call on Monday! He wanted me to respond to the email, so he could try to demonstrate to Amazon, that he had been hellping me all along! Of all of the Dispicable, Slimy tricks!? I immediately called Amazon to let them know what he was up to as well as sending Travis an email that proved that he was doing anything at all to help us?! Naturally, he never responded!
This person should not be allowed to sell on Amazon Marketplace and it makes me curious as to whether this has happened to anyone else in the past! Meanwhile, I have made copies of all audio correspondence between myself and this slime bag! Please furnish me with an address to send it to as regular customer service could not furnish me with one!
Respectfully.
Mr. Joseph A Cristofalo

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.

If you are looking for crunches that are more comfortable or you have exhausted the results possible with floor ab work, then a decline ab bench is for you. When deciding which decline ab bench would meet your needs, the EF-7608 is revealed as a perfect combination of features and benefits. It marries excellent function and appearance with safety and stability in one compact package. The segmented pad provides complete foundation of the spine due to the narrowed seat and tapered back (44 L x 8.5-10 W). Both pads feature thick padding for comfort as well as inclusive support of the back, neck and head. The fully wrapped 4.33 thick dual ankle pads with chrome end caps comfortably and securely constrict the ankles during workouts without additional stress on the lower back, knees or hips. The final detail to comfort is found in the angled and molded support horn, which measures (8) in height from its base and allows you to lower or raise yourself without difficulty. All of these features work together to create an upscale product for your home or office.

Body-Solid GAB60 Adjustable Ab Board Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This ab board is easy to assemble, comfortable to use (even in the highest position), and very solid and stable. I would definitely recommend this ab board, especially for the price range it's in. It is very adjustable, with positions high enough to give even someone with well-conditioned abs a burn, to barely above flat on the floor. I will definitely be able to maintain my "six-pack" with a quick, daily routine on this.

A tight, strong midsection is at the core of everything you do, which is why core training should be considered a vital part of any workout regimen. Enter the Powerline GAB60 adjustable ab board, which helps tighten up your midsection, strengthen your back, and improve your core stability. Comfortable and effective, the board offers a sturdy 2-by-2-inch steel mainframe covered with thick, double-stitched DuraFirm padding. The oversized 8-inch foam rollers, meanwhile, fit cozily beneath your knees and ankles, letting you perform tons of sit-ups and crunches in a single stretch. Best of all, the board is adjustable to 12 different positions, making it easy to design a diverse and challenging workout routine.
The GAB60 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. And from an aesthetic perspective, the board lets you efficiently chisel a flatter stomach and slimmer waistline. If you want to look and feel your best, start at your core. Ideal for home and commercial use, the GAB60 carries a 10-year warranty on the frame and a one-year warranty on all other parts.

Multisports Fitness Ab-Crunch Exercise Bench Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are serious about getting a six pack - you may want to add this piece of equipment to your collection. It is solid and assembly is not difficult. If your gym already has this half crunch board you may be able to pass but I like knocking out a few sets every other day. Beware of cheaper versions. Balance and sturdiness is crucial when you are doing reverse crunches.

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.

TKO Sit-up Bench Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well built. Easy assembly. Very strong yet light. Includes wrenches to use (nice touch). I went to Sports Authority and several other big stores and tried others. This is by far the best. Easy to move around because of the wheels. The center handle is a great touch. The only other bench I would comare it would be a $800 plus Precor bench made for commercial gyms. I like this better because it is lighter.

EF Fitness Adjustable AB Abdominal Weight Bench EF-4416 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bored at work, figured I'd write a review. Bought this bench looking for a quality, sturdy, bench that had a very deep decline. This was cheap and perfect. No quality was lost because of it's low price. It feels very stable, just like the one at the gym. It took me about 10 minutes to put together and that was because I messed up and put something on backward. It adjusts easily so you can go from a moderate decline to practically hanging upside down which is perfect if you want to do REAL sit ups. There is also a nice strong handle you can grab onto for dear life if you reach muscle failure. Which I never do, because I'm too awesome for that. Chances are if you are looking at this bench and reading this review right now you are trying to decide if this is what you need. Stop and buy it already. Goodbye.

If you are looking for variety in your abdominal workout, the EF-4416 is ideal. This 12-position decline ab bench provides more impact in your ab workout than a flat crunch could provide. The functionality allows more basic users to start out at a low setting and become stronger over time while also providing users that are more advanced an equally great workout. These settings are offered by the 12 unique height settings adjusted with an oversized spring-loaded pop pin. After choosing the ideal resistance level, you then hook your legs between the dual ankle pads that are spaced at an ideal distance from one another to comfortably fit most size users.
