Powertec Fitness P-HC10 45-Degree Dual Hyperextension / Roman Chair Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this Hyper/roman chair made by Powertec because I own Powertec's leverage workbench and it is an OUTSTANDING, SOLID piece of equipment so, I thought that I couldn't go wrong with their Roman Chair- I was correct to think so. The P-HR 45 by Powertec feels extremely SOLID while in use. The previous review complained about the pads being set to far apart- I did not find that to be so. I actually think that Powertec did this so that men could do Hyperextensions on this equipment in comfort and not have to worry about the family jewels being ruined. (Thanks Powertec!) Most Hyper/Roman chairs that I have seen are a bit huge. This chair surprisingly takes up very little space. It is very important that you FOLLOW DIRECTIONS when putting this together. It states that you should NOT tighten the bolts when putting this together until all the bolts are in place. I put all bolts into place and then tightened them starting from the bottom of the chair and worked my way up. TRUST me when I tell you that you should take heed to this as it really does make a difference as to how solid this machine will feel to you when you are using it. To me, there is nothing more important than to have your abs and lower back in there absolute best shape. Do yourself a favor and add this EXCELLENT piece of equipment to your home gym.

Stamina Ab / Hyper Bench Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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: $100 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.

High-density foam pads provide comfort for back, buttocks, and elbows. Non-slip caps on the frame's ends ensure the bench will not move during exercises. The bench measures 53-1/2 inches long x 27 inches wide x 28 inches high and weighs 44 pounds. It can be folded for storage.

TKO Hyper Extension Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used the cybex hyperextension machines at the gym. and wanted to get something like that-but 700 for 1 equipment seems toomuch-. After much research found this product, but no reviews on it. So wasnt sure, i wanted something that was stable. My lower back gives me trouble, so wanted the best possible product. this is a great product. It does the regular 45 degree hyperextension, plus u can set various other angles to do different exercises. highly recommend it. at about 80 some pounds it has a heavy base which makes it very stable.
Now the bad...
If you use the tools with it, you will defnitely need two people, and still take forever to assemble it. If you have your own tools you will probably assemble it in 30 mins.
But i gues to assemble a stable product it requires work. Overall it was defnitely worth it.

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.

Marcy SB-410 Crunch Board Review

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.

Champion Back and Abdominal Exercise Bench Gym Equipment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent piece of equipment for the money. I bought it from [...] for [...] plus tax(paid tax only because it was sent from a Texas based company and I live in the Houston area) with free shipping. The pictures are a little deceiving. It shows to be a one piece all weld construction, but it's not. The leg stem and the section with the seat and handles bolt to the horseshoe shaped base. But once I put together, it is solid a rock. It took a whole 15 minutes to put together and that was with my 4 yr old trying to help me.
When they advertise that it will not topple over, it surely will NOT do that. It's very stout, unlike some of the $300 and $400 units you get that will get wobble after a few years of use. Also, It has a good powder coating. The padding in the picture they use looks cheap, but what you actually get is not. They use thick padding in the seat and rollers with a good/thick vinyl cover.
To sum it all up: It would be nicer if the leg piece was "up and down" adjustable, but works great as is. It's like the old style roman chair/hyperextension in the high school gym back in the 80's. And one more thing: The packaging was pretty beat up and opened and therefore was scruffed up a bit. Waiting to hear back from [...] about that.
Hope this is a helpful review. I tried to find one, but couldn't. So, I thought I would put one out there.

Powerline PAB21X Ab Bench Review

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.

Powerline PHYP200X 45 Degree Hyperextension Bench Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nice, sturdy quality unit and fairly easy to assemble. Much better than a cheaper one I purchased that collapsed on me, so worth the extra money. (I'm 260# and have no problems or concerns with this unit capacity-wise.) My only complaint is that the "handlebars" are too close together, and I have to concentrate on missing them. Six inches further apart would be nice. If you're average-sized or smaller, you shouldn't have a problem.

Best Fitness BFHYP10 Ab Board and Hyper Extension Bench Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this item as a Christmas gift. The receipient enjoys it immensely as both a Roman Chair style machine and a sit-up bench. It is solidly constructed and has adjustable legs and height. The cushions allow the user to relax while using the machine to stretch the back muscles. My only complaint is that the assembly directions provided only showed exploded diagrams of the product, and no simple step by step directions. This made the gift incredibly frustrating until we finally figured out how to put it together.

Take your daily core workout and turn it up a few degrees with the Best Fitness BFHYP10 total core trainer. Fusing two of the most popular core workouts--ab crunches and back hyper-extensions--the trainer keeps your most important core muscles strong and tight. The BFHYP10 is outfitted with a six-position hyper-extension support that lets you work comfortably from a standing or angled position, along with a three-position lower leg support. Together, the supports help you build the abdominal muscles that are crucial to maintaining lumbar spine strength and fortify the back muscles to create a healthy and pain-free lower back. The stronger both sets of muscles are, the more support and stability they provide.
The Best Fitness total core trainer lets you vary the starting position of your workouts between 15, 20, and 25 degrees, letting you design the most effective core workout for your situation. The simple pull of a pin makes it possible to control the angle of the bench to increase or decrease the intensity of each session. Other details include 6- and 4-inch high-density foam roller pads; 1.75-inch upholstered bench pads; and rubber-gripped positioning handles. Requiring minimal assembly, the core trainer measures 29 by 32 by 49.5 inches (W x H x D) and carries a three-year warranty.

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.

ProForm Total Fitness Program Abs Bench Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this as a gift last year and I was using it 2 to 3 times a week. In the beginning, it was good. However, as I got better abs, I needed the machine to lay flatter to provide a more difficult exercise. It does not have this and only has one angle.
Also, within 10 months, it broke. The welded attachment at the base of the back support sheared off. I would not buy another one and am considering other ab products.

Make any time crunch time with the Best Fitness BFAB20 semi-recumbent ab crunch. Unlike some other ab machines--which require the agility of an acrobat to be thoroughly effective--the BFAB20 puts you in a comfortable seated position without sacrificing your workout efficiency. The ergonomically designed machine is built to help you tighten up your midsection, strengthen your back, and improve your core stability, with your choice of toning your lower abs with knees raises or your upper abs with abdominal crunches. To perform ab crunches, simply use the upholstered upper back support, textured grip handles, and standard weight post. Performing knee raises is just as easy thanks to the adjustable-length, two-position footrests. Add in a three-position upholstered seat--which starts at 45 degrees but offers two additional 5-degree reclining positions--and you have everything you need to design an effective ab regimen in the comfort of your own home.
The BFAB20 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. The BFAB20 takes the next step by also strengthening and toning the front of the thighs and increasing hip flexibility. The end results include a flatter stomach, better defined abs, well-developed obliques, a more upright posture, and greater support for your spine. Other features include a 1.75-inch upholstered seat, a durable powder-coated finish, and safety pins and bolts that allow for easy disassembly or permanent setup. The BFAB20 measures 22 by 46 by 64 inches (W x H x D) and carries a three-year warranty.
