Bought this program after reading one of those "Get 6-pack" stuff online. And it gives a nice workout! Heard about it...wasn't too sure about it but it's worth it! As a person who works out regularly i recommend this equipment for any1. Easy to assemble! Have fun..hope this helped...

Defective by design

It was really hard to assemble. The handle cover was too tight and would not come in.

Gives a Great Ab Exercise

I didn't have any problems putting it together mainly because I read the reviews here at Amazon before purchasing one and saw a review where someone used a small amount of petroleum jelly to help the grip slide in.
The wheels may seem a bit shaky but, when its being used and your weight is on it, it'll do its job. And don't worry the wheels won't slide off the sides.
I didn't have any experiences using an ab wheel before so at first I was wondering why a lot of people would have difficulty with this device when it seemed like a simple enough exercise. I was completely wrong! At first, It was really hard to do those full extensions and I could feel my abs burning (which for me, is a good sign which means its getting worked out pretty good) and I felt my back being toned too.
Overall, it does its job well. And its an exercise piece that's small enough to store easily and its absolutely worth the money. Its a great buy!

Hard to put handle on

In theory it is a great product and I am still able to use it. When you assemble it you have to slide the second handle on to metal bar to hold the wheels in place (it is similar to a rubber bike handle on an old school huffy). It is very hard to slide on all the way. My handle hangs off the bar by about an inch so this causes the wheels to shift position, not a huge deal, but would be better if it assembled properly.

This is a nice addition to a home gym.

Inexpensive and challenging, but not the only thing one should do to improve abs. However, it is priced right and sturdy! Good buy!

Good Product

Two non-skid wheels for stability and durability. Cushioned rubber foam grips for comfort. 1" spacer between wheels for added stability. Strengthen and tone abs, shoulders, arms and back.

Works well, but largely unnecessary

This device certainly gives a good muscle burn, and actually works the lower back more than the abdominals. This is something to consider if you have back problems.

Now, while this device IS indeed effective at what it does, after having used it, (with other abdominal exercises,) for a number of months, I can say that a good number of bicycle crunches, reverse crunches, and plank exercises will just as effectively work your abdominal muscles, for free.

To get the flat tummy we all want, I am afraid no machine is going to be a magic bullet, (since you cannot spot-reduce,) and this is one more example of that.

Gets the job done...

Assembly is a real work out my gosh i had to spray the handle with wd40 to get the foam grip on... my gosh it was difficult to put on... but after thats over its a pretty good concept... the workout does seem promising based on after effects... the wheel is a bit shaky but that can be dealt with... overall an okay buy...

Caution required, but does the job

While I was hesitant due to the less than stellar reviews on here, I thought I'd try it. Assembly is the worst part of this product. I got a tremendous hand work-out trying to get the handle on in order to secure the wheels in place. Took a good 30 to 40 minutes of constant pressuring it on, millimeter by millimeter. Once it was on and I used it, I was amazed. I feel a difference after doing just 10 or 20 "rolling motions" back and forth. You do have to be careful of your back when extending too far forward, but this does a great job of toning the abs and arms. The Valeo white label on the handle should be better placed. After wrenching the handle on and using the piece, it continues to wear off quickly in your hand. Other than those challenges, I actually really like this alternative to the boring sit-up.

Gets the job done and good price

Works great. The dual wheels add a little extra stability. As far as other reviews griping about the difficulty in putting the handles on, its no bid deal. Just rub a small amount of vasoline inside grip and it slides right on. No problem.
