very nice product.... the build quality is outstanding. it took about 15 minutes to put it together which is very easy. I just wish if the seat was a little wider, the seat is 9.5 inches only, thats why the 4 stars. but its comfortable and worth the money.

Giant Ab/Back Machine Review

(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.

Kettler APOLLO Inversion Trainer Table Review

Kettler APOLLO Inversion Trainer Table
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
High quality, nice design, good customer service (a piece damaged in shipment was replaced with no hassle). Compared to my old American Sports back swing, on which the nylon finally gave out after 25 years, this is higher quality everywhere, and the curved handles are a handy feature for pulling yourself back to upright position in case you're not balanced perfectly. The only downside is that assembly is not easy or obvious, and the instructions are incomplete and poorly written.

About Inversion Tables
Back pain is an uncomfortable and cumbersome ailment for millions of people. It can strike repeatedly and without warning, nearly paralyzing its victims with pain and discomfort. Inversion therapy is an excellent way to prevent and treat chronic or recurring back pain. This form of therapy treats back pain by hanging a person upside-down by their ankles. The only problem with this therapy is a risk of spinal injury because of the procedure's lack of support. Fortunately, inversion tables remove this risk.
A person can lie on an inversion table, and then gradually turn themselves upside down, always fully supported by their ankles. With precise balance, simple arm movements control the rotation of the inversion table. Special tether straps or locking hinges allow users to stop a rotation at just the right angle in order to stretch a specific place in their back. This technique has proven effective for relieving spine compression, elongating the spine, and reversing minor spinal dislocations. Of course, this treatment is not for everyone. People with glaucoma, very high blood pressure, bone disorders, or a history of severe spinal injury or surgery should be careful and check with a physician before administering inversion therapy. However, with a bit of practice and caution, inversion tables can be your ticket to a pain-free and healthier back.

Nubax Trio Back Pain Reliever Review

Nubax Trio Back Pain Reliever
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had back pain in the past, and even surgery for 2 heriatied disks in my lower back about 8 years ago (with a VERY positive outcome), and I'm only 48.Sciatica pain, but not from an injury.Then this holiday, I started in with the horrible sciatica pain and tingling in my leg and got scared. I can't do surgery again (but it was the only thing that helped).

So I started looking for something to help. I researched opinions on Amazon for the Back2life product and found a link to[....] to their review, and what they recommended, and that's where I found out about the Nubax product. I viewed some videos on YouTube and purchased it right away.

The packing of the product in the box is FANTANSTIC, and believe me, this is important.I purchases many items via mail order, and lots of things come poorly packed and damaged. You don't want to spend $300 on a product to have it show up damaged.

The assembly of the product is extremely simple, and it actually took more time to take the parts out of the box and remove the protective packing than it took to put it together.

The quality of the product is exceptional, considering the price and that it's made in China.It really is strong and well made.

It comes with an instruction book and a cd. It is very easy to use, and I feel relief right away. I can really feel the stretch in my spine from hip area to the mid shoulder area.I've never experienced anything like this.
I tried inversion tables, but I get motion sick when I hang upside down, so it doesn't work for me. And I can't afford the cost of going through multiple back traction therapies.

Thank you for bringing this product to the US!

Powerline PAB21X Ab Bench Review

Powerline PAB21X Ab Bench
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am very pleased with the Powerline Ab bench and would give it 5 stars if the steel was slightly heavier (not needed, but I guess I'm picky). The item was fairly easy to assemble and very intuitive to use. The back rest is adjustable and quickly slides up and down the rear support after loosening a thumbscrew. The back pad is VERY firm, yet comfortable. My 4 year-old son who weighs 45 lbs was jumping up and down on it before it was assembled and didn't even dent it. The curve felt quite natural and even comfortable on my back.
The handholds on the strap seem very sturdy and the strap itself seems to support the back of the head when doing the exercises. The pully is very strong and rolls quite smoothly.
I've loaded it up with 100 lbs for this workout using 25 lb plates (it holds both standard and olympic quite well) and felt no strain or give in the device (in me, well that's another story). One rep on the ab bench felt like 25 on the floor. I am a competitive powerlifter and am very happy to see that the ab bench can take some weight.
I am extremely happy with my purchase and wish I had made it earlier. I definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for greater core strength or has back problems that hinder their attempts at doing other abdominal exercises.

Roman Chair Review

Roman Chair
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.
