Marcy SB222 4-Position Utility Bench Review

Marcy SB222 4-Position Utility Bench
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Completley awesome. I give it a 5 star rating especially since installation was very SIMPLE. This bench is sturdy, and comfy. I weight at 150 5'7 and was pushing 2x50pds dumbells for chest press, flat, decline, incline so that is 250pds on the bench. No shakes, no wobbles. Perfect. Also excellent for abs workout as well. I highly recommend this bench to anyone. ALSO, let me mention, it is VERY VERY COMPACT and there is a latch you can pop out and it folds for storage. AMAZING!

Work your chest, shoulders, triceps, and more without trudging to the gym day after day with the Marcy SB222 four-position utility bench. The SB222 offers a four-position back pad that adjusts to flat, incline, decline, and military positions, so you can easily perform bench presses, shoulder presses, seated bicep curls, and a host of other exercises with nothing more than the bench and a pair of dumbbells. The bench--which also supports traditional sit-ups and abdominal leg raises--is comfortable, too, with high-density two-tone bench pads made of top-grade plywood and deluxe upholstery. And thanks to the 14-gauge heavy-duty steel frame and sturdy no-tip front and rear stabilizers, the bench is extremely safe and durable. Other features include easy saw-tooth-style back seat pads, oversized vinyl-wrapped leg roller pads, and a small footprint that folds flat for easy storage. Capable of adapting to most squat racks, half cages, and Smith machines, the bench measures 48 by 42 by 22.5 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 28 pounds.

Giant Ab/Back Machine Review

Giant Ab/Back Machine
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.

Marcy SB-410 Crunch Board Review

Marcy SB-410 Crunch Board
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought the Marcy Ab bench because of its low price tag. First I must say that I was delighted by the quick shipping. It arrived in two days. Secondly, I want to talk about assembly. It wasn't much of a problem at first. I had to tap one of the screw holes in the base because it had been stripped out. Not a real problem. I also had to add a spacer on the "locking knob" that holds the leg pegs on the at the bottom because it too had different threads than the bolt. (It would not tighten even halfway.) After all that the bench was assembled and ready for use. Now I am only 5'8" and it seems to me that the bench part might have done better to be 3 or 4 inches longer, but doing the exercises was good enough to make my abs sore the next day and that is what counts. It is what it is but worth what I paid for it.

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.

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.

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.

Body-Solid GAB60 Adjustable Ab Board Review

Body-Solid GAB60 Adjustable Ab Board
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.

Apex JD-1.2 Slant Board Review

Average Reviews:

Low price in comparison to it's competitors, easy to assemble (six steps basically), sturdy and can be used for a wide variety of exercises other than situps. i.e. Bicep curls using the knee pads and free weights, lat pulls (with free weights), triceps kickbacks (with free weights) , leg raises and inclined bench press to name a few.
Sturdy enough to support my 6'4" 230lbs frame - with only one minor setback... the foam leg supports just aren't wide enough... a pretty minor complaint given the cost of this unit.

TKO sit-up board is poorly designed. Why?
1. Position for the knees creates undue stress on our lower back.
2. Stabilizer legs are not wide enough.
3. Pads are too small, and while we are at it, the pad rods are not wide enough
for men. I am 75" and 190 lbs.

Cap Barbell Xodus Crunch Board Review

this situp/crunch board is everything it says it is except for well made.
Helen Keller could have bored better holes in the metal pieces. i had to return my first bench because holes were bored on the complete wrong plane in order to assemble it.
additionally, the holes are so big that when one tries to bold down two pieces they end up being wobbly. this can be fixed by placing notecards between the pieces like shunts. but who wants to do that on their new piece of equipment!
just dont waste your money.
regardless of all of this, Amazon was great. they shipped it quickly and replaced it within one day. i was impressed.
