Customer Rating:
Summary: Good, but not the best
Comment: Works, but not that comfortable.
Assembly instructions not that clear.
I guess not a bad deal for the price.

Summary: Ab Roller Really Does Work
Comment: When I first purchased this item, I was skeptical that it would target the abdominals more than a regular crunch. After reading some of the reviews I went for the slightly more expensive one since I would be using it frequently. Right out of the box, I thought this must have been a cheaper knockoff of the original because the instruction manual and the pictures on the box looked like copies of a copy or still images from a home camcorder. I have to say that once it is assembled and used correctly, you will get up "feeling the burn" in the targeted areas.Even when you do the oblique crunches, you don't feel the strain on your neck and shoulders you would without the tool
Tip: Make sure to really pull down hard with your hands/arms while doing the crunches, otherwise, you will feel the same neck stress as a regular crunch. Intuitively, you would think that if you're oversupporting your head, it wouldn't work. But try it. You won't feel it work the first time until you get up (if you do less than you normally do), but it then becomes apparent that it did it's job.
I'm still not sure if it's a knockoff, but I don't care. It does what I paid for it to do. I get a way more intense abominal workout in half the time. Also, my neck, shoulders, and back don't hurt when I'm done.... only the abs!! I hope this was helpful

Summary: Poor assembly instructions, questionable quality control
Comment: I've used professional models of these ab trainers, and this item appeared to be comparable in the photos. Upon opening the package & inspecting the parts, the metal tubing used seems to be adequate,and the hardware looks to be typical "Made in China" junk. The armpads & headrest are vinyl-covered pieces of foam over wood backing, poorly stapled & finished. The assembly instruction book is horrendous. Vague and tiny hand-drawn diagrams with confusing, poorly written instructions. I was shorted one screw, and supplied with four plastic spacers that do not appear in the assembly diagram, and are not mentioned ANYWHERE in the instructions. A big disappointment.

Summary: Cheap materials. Design too wide and too low.
Comment: I used a similiar AB machine in the gym. The AB roller/trainer design does work the AB muscles well while protecting the lower back. A number of different AB excercises can be done. My issue is this model. It's made of very cheap materials. The design is too low and too wide. $60.00 for a product of this low quality is completely unacceptable to me. Find a better quality item. The concept works great but I recommend you stay away from this one.

The AB Trainer Original
When we first introduced the AB Trainer a few years ago, no one had ever seen anything like it. It turned out to be the most popular workout device ever sold through direct marketing. The reason is simple: it works.
Includes instructional sheet, imported, 12 pounds, Upholstery over foam padding, .75" diameter tubing, ships unassembled. Same geometry as Club Pro and Home Pro. Pivoting headrest. Does not accept the add on weights.
Ships in box 28 x 20 x 6
