  wow so i took this out of its box and thought o god this is gonna be cheap and not work because its really simple and small. but the first roll i did with it i felt a good burn in my abs and arms. after a few minutes i felt like my abs were gonna explode with ripness. it definately works great for a great price. i have one of those ab blaster lounges too- and this works sooooo much better than that. those things are boring and i dont feel a burn for a long time.
  
  

• A very good value. It will get a lot of use, for many years.

  This double-wheel has a wider rolling surface, which makes it a lot less prone to tip than single-wheel models. The bar is hollow, but very strong, and the wheel hubs and spokes are made of a strong plastic, ... so the product is very light. (Suggestion: If you wanted an even more stable design, you could slide one wheel off and put something like a 3/4-inch inner-diameter spacer washer or two between the two wheels.) Overall, a fine product, at a very good price.
  
  

• After hours of research, I believe I selected the right one!

  
  By A3NIAH5P0R1S54 on 2007-05-12
  After going around Amazon looking for the best Ab Wheel, reading every review, I believe I've finally chosen the right one. It's made with very durable quality (which I doubt the other Ab Wheel's were made with just by their flimsy looks). The only con with this ab wheel (as some other people have mentioned) is the grips. The grips are hard to install, and rough on the hands, but once you get the hand grips on, they wont fall off, and two simple hand-towels will do the trick for the hand grips (cover the grips with hand towels and you've got yourself a brand new *comfortable* grip).
  
  Overall, I'm glad I bought this ab wheel. It's a great alternative to similar methods, and makes you feel great about your body after a hard workout with it. You should be able to see the difference in your abs within a month or two (I'm already noticing some difference with mine).
  
  

• Not bad, but beware

  
  By A1PONF56DJJDR9 on 2008-06-08
  Never trust a review that says one little device will instantly give you a 6-pack. That takes cardiovascular exercise, a low-fat diet, and overall a low % of body fat. The wheel works fine, was easy to assemble, and definitely can be felt in the abs. The downside is that despite being very attentive to proper form, it hurts my back - a lot. The potential for injury and strain is very high, even with a properly conditioned athlete. So just beware!
  
  
  

• Great for upper body exercise

  
  By AJELR89GFPDCG on 2007-02-19
  I just got this nifty device and I am very pleased. It really works all your upper body in just one moves. I have feel the exercise on my arms, back, and especially the abs. No complaints.
  
  
• Grip is hard on your hands
  By A1AJHPF8TR0MPL on 2005-12-13
  My wheel from GoFit ( [...] ) developed a small crack in a wheel. The Everlast wheel was the same price, but on sale. The GoFit wheel has a comfortable foam rubber grip. The Everlast has a hard plastic grip with ridges. Otherwise they are the same size. For the same money, GoFit is the better choice. GoFit is also better than the Valeo wheel's semi hard rubber grip.
  
  
• Very Good Value
  By A23EV0WG9AQKNC on 2007-03-24
  This wheel was very easy to assemble. It is important to use some type of lubricant to slide the hand grips on. At first, I tried to slide one on without it because I was afraid the lubricant would make the hand grips slide around during use after I put it together. The hand grip would only go part of the way on and I had difficulty getting it back off. So, I followed the advice of another reviewer and used a tiny bit of petroleum jelly. The hand grips slid right on and the wheel has worked great.
  
  The wheel is very stable and works as it should. What more could you ask for? This is a very well-made exercise wheel for a great price.
  
  
• it works
  By A1VXCK8FES38U1 on 2007-05-13
  It takes more than strong abs to do a few sets of these. It takes a strong core. So I think by doing these, its better than just abdominal isolation exercises. By rolling the wheel to the side, you can work your obliques pretty hard too, if you want. The ab wheel is much harder than my similar Ab Dolly. So I still use both. And because this ab roller/wheel does have any rubber bands or anything (its just a wheel with handlebars), it should last a very long time.
  
  
  
  
• gee~!!!!
  By A1CV19Z3EDXMJ6 on 2006-02-07
  Sometimes the simplest thing can be the best thing in the world. Gee, I wish I came up with this gadget, I would be a millionaire by now. If you want to work your arms, abs, back, just use this EVIL WHEEL everyday. Forget about Sit Ups, and wasting money on BIG HEAVY machine. This Wheel can be used for ANYONE ANY age, ANY sex, and of course at ANY place~! Do not worry, I will come up with some gadget next time and be a millionaire! We all be glad I did
  
  
• Good product
  By A1JBCQSTZVG7FF on 2006-03-06
  Is definitely a good equipment.
  I correct two things: Stability maybe adding something to separated the wheel; a more wide tube.
  
  
  
• Molestias sobre el ejercicio
  By A1Y8BYWQ2IG3UH on 2007-06-27
  El uso del Everlast Wheel es muy incomodo. Despues de realizar los ejercicios y series, terminas con molestias y dolores en la parte baja de la espalda.
  
  
  
• The best invention since the wheel is the axel
  By AEP0PLQSMIQRA on 2006-03-18
  This will really work you abdominal muscles and to some extent your shoulders. I put my toes up on a 12" children's play ball while using it. For some reason these have disappeared from the stores, but you can get yours here. It is kind of cheap plastic construction with no suspension, so I'm not sure what the maximun weight load is.
  
  
• my best investment in home exercise equipment
  By A1CYTBE7LLUQ8F on 2008-02-08
  Over the years I've purchased all sorts of home exercise equipment from simple weights to a gym-quality treadmill. The exercise wheel has perhaps given me my best return on investment. It's a simple device but it really works. Following the instructions and some online recommendations, I started out easy. Even with initially scaled back use I really worked my abs and felt it the next day. My wife started laughing when she saw me working out with the wheel. I challenged her to do a few. She was feeling her abs for the next few days!
  
  After a solid month with the Duo Exercise wheel and gradually working my way up to more reps, I can see the results in the mirror. Some pretty good definition developing.
  
  For $9.99 on Amazon I would highly recommend giving the Everlast Standard Duo Exercise Wheel a try. It's simple to use and requires only a few minutes a day to achieve noticeable results.
  
  
• it really does give you a six pack!
  By A30TZHOVGGRWGA on 2008-03-15
  so heres the deal... i bought this product over 2 months ago and i also bought one for my girlfriend. we decided who ever had nicer abs at the end of 3 months win the other person's pay check... At this point we dont care about the bet, were too busy enjoying our abs... i have the nicer abs because i didn't have too much fat to loose and she has a very sexy flat stomach... This product really does work if you loose weight and do cardio... the ab wheel strengthens and builds your abs.. to see the abs you need to shed the fat covering them. I used this product everyday starting at 3 sets of 12 reps a day... Remember to keep your back straight or you will get hurt.. i tore my lower abs because i did a rep wrong... she has never hurt herself because she does them slow and right.. so in short it works... if you do this and also do exercises on a ball it really gets you there even faster... the last month thats what i did and it made everything just speed up... i really love this ab product and i have always trusted everlast ( i use to be a Boxer) because they would never invest in crap... so take your time, do the reps right, watch your diet, loose the fat and you'll have a six pack in no time...
  
  
• Should have bought a LONG time ago!
  By A2RNYTS3QFA4UJ on 2007-10-23
  I have never owned a piece of ab equipment quite like this. You FEEL the burn in your exercise, much more than the traditional sit-up! I would highly recommend this product to anyone who likes to work out their abs. You feel the tightness all over your mid-section and arms. The product is very sturdy and made very well. A++
  
  
• just started & seems to work.....but get a mat to roll!!!!
  By A1NOUAT98FEXMS on 2006-09-14
  If you purchase this wheel, you should get a yoga mat to roll the wheel, otherwise you can can seriously hurt yourself if you try to roll it like the bodybuilder on the box. You really feel it working on your abs and shoulders with the mat. I bought it because it was very inexpensive, portable and easy to store. This is an excellent piece of equipment that can be used alone and/or if you work out in a gym.
  
  
• Great Product!! Highly recommmend!!
  By A2U7YJOE4030XM on 2007-01-10
  This stuff is really good for the upper abs. At first it was unbearably hard but with time i got used to it and now do it every morning. Its cheap and easy to use anywhere. All you need is a floor. One more thing, my gf was unable to do more than one because of lack of upper body strength. Other than that, its awesome!
  
  
• Effective and affordable.
  By A22FVP1TJCNZ65 on 2007-05-09
  Chairs with fancy attachments, hours of exercise video, and hundreds of crunches could never give you the stomach this exercise wheel will.
  
  Very sturdy, easy to assemble and use, efficient, it's perfect for someone that wants results fast and can't designate a few hours a week to strengthening their core.
  
  
• Good product
  By A1YZSS3N2MV9B5 on 2006-08-24
  This product is great. I love it. It's easy to put together initially and it really targets the areas that I wanted to work out. A+ from me.
  
  
• Works great
  By A2WW4EERD98RGZ on 2006-11-11
  The shipping was very quick on this item. It arrived in less than a week. Points for the seller. I just started using this item and I'm very sore from using it. Its working wonders various chest areas. Took me awhile to get comfortable using it. I eventualy just gave up on the work out instructions and started doing what feld most comfortable and easy on myself.
  
  
• great!
  By A24MHIWVZURVU0 on 2007-02-15
  great workout, does exactly what it claims to do. easy to put together and sturdy because it has two wheels.
  
  
• Good but not great
  By ARD095PMGS0XW on 2007-07-29
  Simple and effective but the handles are plastic with no padding which makes it hard to use for over 5 minutes.
  
  
• Very challenging exercise
  By A13TDBULHW91RK on 2007-09-19
  Wow, this little thing is very simple but does the job, i cant believe that i have abs! je je, if you use it constantly you will get results but you need to eat healtlhy
  
  
• Cheap
  By A2QLDEQMAUWDJY on 2007-11-15
  This wheel is smaller than you may think, but it does the job and is worth the price.
  
  
• Great workout
  By A1NZYGYVDRR4ZX on 2008-08-20
  I was a bit skeptical when I saw this. I've been bustin' my butt doing crunches and sit-ups and never felt like I was improving. I figured there had to be something better out there. After doing some research, I felt like an ab wheel would probably be best for what I was trying to achieve: stronger ab muscles and a more balanced core.
  
  I looked around this site and a few other ones and I decided this ab wheel was the best one to get based on price and reviews. Reading the reviews, I was concerned about the grip being uncomfortable so I also purchased some weight training gloves that had a fair amount of padding in the palm.
  
  This item arrived about a month ago and I opened it up the same day it arrived. I read the instructions and assembled it and tried it out. I could feel muscles working that I hadn't felt doing sit-ups and crunches. They started burning after the 3rd rep. Definitely a good purchase on my part.
  
  After my first set, I could see why people were complaining about the grips. They made grip-shaped indentations in my hands that left my palms very tender, so I started using the gloves I mentioned earlier and I no longer have that problem. The only pain I feel now is the good kind; mostly in my abs, but also my shoulders.
  
  Overall, I have to say it's hard for me to believe there's a better piece of equipment that works your ab muscles out there. I recommended this product without any reservations other than a good pair of gloves.
  
  
• Excellent Item
  By A13TZ9JBGCTMBH on 2008-09-29
  I've always had problems toning my tummy, but the Ab Wheel has put all that in the past. I've only had it a few weeks and I've noticed a visible difference. The handles could use a bit of cushioning, and it should be noted that you want your knees on something soft, but other than that this is a great product.
  
  
• Excercise wheel works great!
  By A137TCM4G2BKNY on 2007-01-04
  I've used this product for 4 months.
  
  Very cheap price, good quality, no problems, and it does the job well. I don't have any complaints.
  
  
• does what it says
  By A1ANAP3SEWHJG2 on 2007-04-10
  Compact device. Easy to use. You can feel your muscles respond.
  
  
• does what it's supposed to
  By AX75E9U5B0AWV on 2007-04-11
  Not much variation with these things. It's sturdy and durable and does what it's supposed to well.
