Worth less than advertised
By A9GIGJUB98JNR on 2007-12-01
This product does work the abs, as it facilitates sit-ups. But the upright backside with the rollers is nearly worthless. As I understand it, the backside with its rollers are suppose to massage the the back. This backside's frame's curvature will probably not fit a majority of users. So, these rollers will basically softly roll over your backside. Not my idea of a massage, and due to its fitting, only one roller ever touches my backside during actual use, and that roller doesn't do much for me. As compared to regular sit-ups, the product's seating design is effective; particularly, if someone has extremely weak abdominal muscles. Product is worth about $50. If you like a vinyl roller softly rolling across your back, product is then worth $100. I tried comparing it to an ab lounge. I believe Ab Rocket works the abdomen better, but the ab lounge exercises and stretches more parts of the body.
Don't waste your money!!!!
By A2KTYAKU1PEVCI on 2007-11-10
First and foremost, this item is not worth the one hundred or more dollars. The 3 resistance stretch coils did not offer any or very, very, very little resistance. I was able to bend easily all the way to the floor no matter which resistance coils I was using. Truly disappointed. Also, after bending backward, you will use your own strength to bend forward, no matter how far up you want to go. The resistance coils will offer nothing by way of resistance no matter what your weight is.
Love the Ab Rocker
By AXTHRQLIL24PL on 2007-12-17
I love this product. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars was when I changed the "tension" setting I had to wrestle with it. Other than that I love this machine. I am trying to get back in shape after 2 pregnancies and hypothyroidism. Even my son (6) who struggles with sit-ups uses it...we take turns counting for each other! I would buy it again tomorrow. I own 2 pieces of equipement an elliptical, and this. Beats the gym and fits under my bed. LOVE IT!
IT'S ALL RELATIVE
By A98AON1GUDHW7 on 2008-01-25
As a person who, 25 years ago, could do over 2000 sit-ups in 1 1/2 hrs. I now find myself with much less energy and a more sedentary job and 60 years old. I have shunned all the other "hide-under-the-bed" exercise scams. I took a chance on this one and must say that the construction and theory are not bad in practice. For someone who wants to watch TV/listen to music/meditate while springing back-and-forth, I notice positive ab muscle tensioning. It's easy to sit there and rock; and before you know it you're rocking more and more, and easier and easier. Since the abs are the key to lower back muscle strength how can this tiny device, at a mere $100 hurt more than the first few days? This item will NEVER be under my bed. I'll wear it out and ask for one made from stainless steel! I think it's the best ab device available, if you need a device to motivate you to do ab exercises. Apt dwellers, this I recommend for you.
Do Not waste Your Time or Money
By A3I8GLJ6FEFT4D on 2007-12-23
Ab Rocket (EA) This product does not live up to its Hype. The different springs provide little to no change to the device. It was very uncomfortable and I noticed very little work being done by my abs, which is why I purchased it. It has since been returned and Amazon was their typical professional self to deal with and took it back no questions ask. There is a lot of good exercise equipment out there, this is not one of them.
- I think it is very worth the price and hype
By A12V2HSS0CR2MZ on 2008-01-25
I would consider myself a pretty active guy when it comes to exercise. I am
not muscle bound, but try to do push-up's and pull-up's every day. I am
about 178lbs, and 5'10. My problem with sit-ups have always been lower back
issues and sometimes neck. I have tried roughly three different machines
(including the machine at the gym which is kinda pointless if you don't sit
on it for an hour). So, I was in Dicks, and they had a demo Ab Rocket
sitting out. I was like, 'What the hell! Let me look like like a dork doing
exercises in a wholeseller warehouse.'
I sat on the AbRocket and started the motion. A couple of people asked me as
I was doing it if I felt anything, I didn't know yet. All I knew was my back
and neck felt supported. When it hit me to tighten my stomach muscles while
doing the exercise - I knew the Ab Rocket was my product. I got off that
chair somewhat sore (in a good way). I have owned this product now for over
a month. If you already have a decent body type, a month's time will show
you some visable results. Do it daily, WATCH the instructional dvd and eat
better and see what this thing will do for you. The one thing that throws me
off though, is it not easily storable as the commercial suggests. It is an
eye-sore which in the case of working on your abs is a good thing, because
you have to do this kind of workout once a day to see any results in the
future. Storing it is pointless. This is really the most fun I have ever had
doing sit-ups, not like exercise like this is fun, but if genes did not give
you the perfect torso area, this very well should. It is working for me!
- looks good but disappointed
By A2ND8B01A3ZQ9I on 2008-01-12
The actual item looks good and the idea is great, but we were really disapointed with the quality of how it works. It comes with 4 different tension springs from lightest tension to hardest tension, and there clearly just is not enough tension in the springs to accomodate it. we are pretty much normal size people and when you go to " rock " backwards it should hold you so that it rocks back smooth. we used the hardest tension adjustment and it still dosnt hold you, it just goes straight back down. So we returned ours and waiting for a refund. you might want to try the AB LOUNGE SPORT which is supposed to offer a better complete Range of Motion. That is what we are going to try next & the price is a bit cheaper. (seen on sale for $79.00 at kmart website)hope this helps!
- Works, but not worth the $
By A2OBY90GAAFY8N on 2008-01-01
I've had worse ab products, but I don't think it's worth the money! It's equivalent to a rocking chair. The resistance isn't very good at all, and it takes forever to put the highest resistance band on. Bottom line, save your money, this product is way over priced!
- A Product from Heaven
By A1PBOKNO6H2ROE on 2007-11-12
THE FIRST TIME I SAW THE INFOMERCIAL ON THIS AB ROCKET PRODUCT I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. I'VE ALWAYS TRIED TO DO SIT UPS BUT I AM JUST SO LAZY SO BY BUYING TH AB ROCKET AND PLACING IT RIGHT BY MY BED I CAN NOW DO SIT UPS RIGHT BEFORE I GO TO BED AND RIGHT WHEN I GET UP IN THE MORNING. I HAVE BEEN USING THE AB ROCKET FOR TWO WEEKS NOW AND I REALLY FEEL IT IN MY LOWER ABS. I ALSO PURCHASED THE AB ROCKET FLEXMASTER THAT THEY HAD AVAILABLE WHEN I CALLED IN AND I LOVE THAT TOO. IT'S GREAT FOR ARM AND LEG MUSCLES. THANK YOU AB ROCKET!!!
- Stress
By A1ZTDGSCXO1LQD on 2008-01-20
Yes, after putting together this apparatus I found that when I went to use it with the strongest tension spring that it was not enough tension there to keep me from falling all the way down so that I was flat on the floor----you need stronger tension springs----at this point I find this ab rocket unusable....
- Awesome!
By A3MTLU8HUAK6G7 on 2007-11-12
This product is amazing. It is about time someone created a product like this. Assemby was very simple.
I do situps at the gym and this made the situps easy and more efficent. I was able to double the amount.
The next day i really felt it!
I recommend this product to everyone!
- I am dropping pounds
By A35E248MQCVPM8 on 2008-01-24
I started using this three weeks ago. I started losing weight immediately by using this product. Follow the instructions and guide and lose weight. I cannot believe it. I never believed any of those things on TV. No I am a true believer. This was a gift from my wife. She wanted me to lose weight and now I am doing it, with great abs too.
- misleading
By A2YGOF0L1QIYC5 on 2008-02-08
I could not get my head to stay on the top of the ab rocket. Tried all 3 bands and they didnt work at all. The design is all wrong.
Also it is on the floor and hard to get into position to say nothing of your head never stays on the pad so your neck start to hurt. It just doesnt work at all .
Ab Rocket Abdominal Trainer
- Torture Device - Isolates Abs...
By AU1GQJGCX3H5L on 2008-02-07
This Ab Rocket is the best of these torture devices for isolating the abs. Your abs will be Screaming at you, for a long time.
It takes a sick mind to develop such a device. Get it, if you want to exercise your abs, and don't mind the pain.
- Works Good...Do Not Agree With Negative Reviews
By A1QHEF7GXGFKGH on 2008-02-29
My husband and I purchased the Ab Rocket to tone up a bit. We are both very happy with it. It helps target the abdominal muscles without straining the neck or the back. I actually enjoy doing sit-ups again! It was easy to put together...the springs were not difficult. I would recommend this product to any one.
- IT IS WORKING FOR ME
By A38YTJY0UGAZ4U on 2008-04-04
After quitting smoking and having major surgery I had gained 30 pounds, and it seemed most of it was in my midsection. I have always had a weak lower back and was never able to do situps. The Ab Rocket was my answer. I have only been using it for a month but already have toned up my stomach muscles. I have a long way to go, am also walking everyday and on a diet. At the age of 65, I want to get back into good physical shape and feel the Ab Rocket will help me achieve this goal. For the price it has definitely been a great deal. Like most things in life you have to work at it to get results.

By ARIS2HANCA94D on 2008-01-18
The product of harder to use than i thought and discovered you could just as easily do sit ups for nothing. I wouldn't recomend buying it.
- Ab Rocket Abdominal trainer
By AS8IK8S4N872V on 2008-02-23
My husband and I purchased the Ab Rocket Abdominal Trainer
a month ago.
We work out at least five days a week for just a few minutes.
It has really made a difference in both our abdomains and even
our stomach. We are looking better in our clothes and our family
and friends have noticed how much better we look.
My older sister's husband is going to his High School reunion this
summer and he also bought one before we did and thats what encouraged
us to purchase our Ab Rocket. He looks so good and has alot more con-
fidence in himself.
I would strongly advise anyone who is interested in shaping up, to
buy the Ab Rocket Abdominal Trainer. If want to look better and are
willing to do it, it really works!

- great for really "out-of-shapers"
By A2K18TSVLTBSD5 on 2008-03-25
My husband wanted the ab rocket to help with his middle age "spare tire". I was more than happy to order it for him. It was reasonably simple to assemble and it ended up in the middle of the living room floor in front of the TV. It turned out our son and I always use it too, just cause it there, and it's fun. I'm one who never did sit ups because I could never keep my neck and shoulders in the right position. The ab rocket supports the neck and has handles to help pull up until you get those ab muscle strong enough to do it on their own. I'd also like to comment on the springs... I have seen reviews where folks were disappointed because the springs provided very little "resistance". I was under the impression that the spring with the most tension was there as a aid for the beginner & really out of shape (like me) and the more muscle you build in the abs the lighter the spring you would use... Anyway, our family has found the ab rocket a fun way to firm up our "core".
- beware the pain!
By A1VP89BT4LLLW on 2008-02-19
setting up was easy. although AR does provide minimal results, getting it was rather difficult. when performing the exercise, the seat will nearly demolish your tail bone area. very painful if you're not positioned correctly.
this machine squeaks continuously making it hard to focus your workouts. and the worse thing about AR is that it DOES NOT SUPPORT YOUR BACK!!!
upon every set, my lower back is always in agony. the back support that claims to provide a gentle resistance is completely useless. any equipment that brings discomfort or pain is not worth purchasing.
- I love the ab rocket
By A1A8D57I7HO5JS on 2008-03-13
I've had the ab rocket alittle over a month and have lost 38 POUNDS. It was worth every penny i paid for it.It is like doing sit ups with help.I would tell anyone that wants to lose weight to buy the ab rocket,it really works!!!!!!!For someone that doesn't like to work out,the ab rocket is great.I use mine 2 or 3 times a day its so easy.I have alot of health problems so its hard for me to do alot of working out,but with the ab rocket i have no trouble and I'm losing weight thanks to the ab rocket.I've even told my doctor I would tell others that want to lose weight,buy it because it really works and the price is worth it!linda-h.
- My thinking on the Ad Rocket Abdominal Trainer
By A3SXLJ5947CN93 on 2008-02-26
This item has helped with my overweight problem which happened after I quite smoking two years ago. Mainly the weight came onto my belly and now I have a large "bay window" which doesn't look very nice on me. I am 72 years old and stand just over 6' tall and now weigh 179 pounds (after weighing no more than 160 pounds for 70 years.) *Try carrying an extra 20 pounds around with you all the time* Its very hard to find clothes that will fit me and look nice. Within two weeks of doing sit ups with this item I lost 4 pounds. I hope to lose more in the near future using this item. One fault the item has is the back rest. For me it's about two feet to short and I have no support above my shoulders. The design is great, but needs to be modified by adding two feet to the back support. ----Leroy----

By AQO8GW2IXNNHS on 2008-04-01
I had high hopes when I purchased this item. Seemed as if it would serve the purpose of providing the support needed to do sit ups. Well I was sadly disappointed in this product. I put the highest level of tension springs on it and it just flopped around. I had expected that it would take a bit of force to make it move back and then forward again. When I tried the backward movement the chair part would come up from the ground and it was just not at all what I had expected. In concept its a good idea, but this product was a waste of my money. Not to mention on TV the models they have demonstrating it weigh 100 pounds soaking wet. It was not in the least bit comfortable to sit on for someone who has a few pounds to lose.

The Ab Rocket is great, from what I hear. I personally wouldn't know due to the fact the Ab Rocket I ordered through Amazon NEVER arrived! Then took 3 weeks to receive a refund. Refund? I NEVER received an item. Amazon is a JOKE!!!! Do Not Order With Amazon!

By AKALCY2HILWXW on 2008-03-06
I was afraid it would not live up to its commercial claims.
I was surprised. I love it! It is easy to use,just as advertised.
I have never been able to do ab exercises. Now, I can.
After only a few weeks use, I spent last weekend taking up my slacks about 4 inches each in the waist.
I am very happy with it.
Thanks,
ds
- its a piece of junk
By A2EXY8XO6E9KWG on 2008-04-08
Not only does it squeak and wobble, it also left a black stains on my carpet!

By A3BV8DVD03X36H on 2008-02-29
When using the Ab Rocket, it hurts your back. It is purported to support your back while doing sit-ups but I did not find that to be so.
- cheaply made
By A2AOD0CGRL5ZFU on 2008-03-26
I have never returned an item ordered from Amazon or their sellers. This was the first. This is an over priced cheap plastic chair-parts were not durable, let alone NO resistance for your abs. Might as well have been a reclining beach chair. Kudos to Amazon for making the return process painless.
- Any guys/girls wanna look better faster? Then try this.
By A2W9LEXD3BAETW on 2008-04-01
Man, I love this product. The first time I saw or tried this product was at Dicks and I was so into it right away that I nearly bought it there that day. I saw the store model that they had available, but couldn't find another one in a box available at Dicks so I asked the manager if he had any either around or "in the back" of the store. They looked and said that there were no "boxed" models, but that I could either order one to pick up from them at a later date or buy the store model for just a 10% discount of the original price. That didn't sound all that great to me especially considering that Dicks pretty much sells everything at or near the original price, so I decided to see if I could find a decent price for the truly "boxed" Ab Rocket on the internet. Obviously I decided to skip the Dicks and go to Amazon and order it from them. The Ab Rocket is truly a wonderful piece of exercise equipment and it works really well. I've already been a person that loves to work out and keep in good shape, but the Ab Rocket honestly does satisfy us (already) physically fit people because it makes a difference to people whether they're already fit or not. I'm lovin' how my abs are lookin' better than ever quicker than ever...crunches. Doing normal crunches without exercise equipment like the Ab Rocket was never fun and sometimes simply just an aching strain on the back or neck. Plus I never liked sweating on either my bed, a mat or the floor/carpet like the regular way of crunches is always done. The Ab Rocket gets rid of the nonsense of regular crunches, such as the kind done on a hard floor, and provides you with a relatively comfortable cushion to lay your back and bottom on while holding onto the quality sidebars. The sidebars provide something nice to hold onto and can also come off easily so that you can put the Ab Rocket under the bed or in your closet in an instant. All in all, this was one of my favorite products that I've ordered from Amazon so far. I think you'll feel the same way too. Stay fit brothers and sisters.
- very dissatisfied customer
By AZKCYZPFE52UE on 2008-04-05
I purchased the ab rocket from amazon, upon receiving there were missing parts. I contacted amazon and they told me they could not send me the missing parts that I would have to send back the ab rocket in the mail and they would send me out another one. That is very inconvenient as the ab rocket box is very large, not to mention the time it would take to send back and receive a new shipment. I am going on vacation and I wanted to start using it immediately. I contacted the ab rocket company directly and they told me I was basically out of luck because I ordered it from amazon and not them directly. I learned my lesson.
