ab machine, ab workout equipment for home gym, Height Adjustable ab trainer, foldable fitness equipment.

(Female, 5'7", 155 lbs) I love this piece of equipment. I am a great skeptic of abdominal "machines" or whatever fancy name/description they give them. I FIRMLY believe that 70% of your abs are created in the kitchen and 30% in the gym. Long story semi-short: I had been in bodywork (PT, boxing, MMA, sports massage therapy, etc) for over two decades and in 2013 I became disabled in both of my feet (a total fluke and it's idiopathic) I had reconstructive surgery on my right foot & just my luck the surgery actually made it 1000 times worse 😑 SO now I have to figure out ways to adjust and adapt every single workout and how it impacts my feet esp the one that is worse now. This piece of equipment allows me to do that. I still perform regular abdominal exercises (stability ball, floor work, etc) but I need variety in my training sessions. This allows me to do crunches, (as though you were doing a standing high knee raise/kick which works your abs), but instead of my feet bearing all of my weight the machine does. I perform alternating knees for the lateral abdominal obliques then both together to achieve the reverse crunch affect. I also like the adjustable height. I have it low to start and will gradually increase the height for a more of a challenge. YOU HAVE TO ENGAGE YOUR CORE when using this or ANY other ab type assist product like the roll outs. I can't emphasize this enough! I guarantee no matter who you are if you let your back arch/dip it will hurt. Keep that core ENGAGED/TIGHT for the entire workout. That is the first thing you learn as a trainer which I used to be...your core attaches your top half to your bottom half and is the foundation for having a strong back..Strong consistent abdominal work will help strengthen your back. The knee and elbow pads are comfortable for me (yes the padding could be better but not a deal breaker for me and my knees have taken hits over the years from MMA but if your knee placement is correct it shouldn't be an issue). I also have a "click" in my hip so I place my knees closer together and then I don't feel the "click". I will say the directions lacked a bit but I've been assembling/building things since I was a teen so to me it was no biggie. I plan on reviewing my update on this product after I have used it for over a month or two and when 2nd surgery to repair the first is concluded (good times 😬) I'm hoping the padding can hold up to 5x a week use and hoping for no glitches down the road. As of this moment after a 2-3 weeks of use, I am thoroughly enjoying the change of routine and the ease of use for someone who ABSOLUTELY requires adaptive exercises due to a disability. If you're a beginner to exercise, this will feel awkward at first and it isn't meant to be an easy exercise that magically creates rock hard abs. It takes consistency, patience, proper form and a healthy eating regimen.

I love how it folds up for easy storage. When I don’t use it, I can easily store it under my bed. It’s well made & I use it all the time & it definitely works those abs!

It’s constructed of good quality materials, and everything fit together well upon assembly. It provides a good abdominal workout. So far I’m very pleased.

Much better quality than I anticipated. It was easy to assemble and folds up to stories easily.

Exactly as described does come with all the part and instructions super easy assembling folds for storage purposes feels sturdy great quality expecially for someone who is close to 300 lbs it holds weight well

This thing is brutal! The kind of brutal that you know is working! It took me a couple of days to really be able to do very many reps and man do you feel it the next day. At first I was super nervous that it would be cheap and feel like it was going to fall over or break. I have used this multiple times a week and absolutely love it!

OK, so I bought this one over the bench type because supposedly it was better. I’ve had it for three days. now when I was looking at these, I thought they were gimmicks to be honest but they’re not, it really does work your stomach and I’m talking all areas. Here’s the bad thing about it though, it hurts your knees and your elbows. what I did to try to fix this was, I divided my crunches into normal crunches and then side crunches for each side, giving my knees a break. As for the elbows, I have tried to put pillows on the pads but it really doesn’t help that much. it doesn’t hurt my elbows if I can put my elbows directly on the pads, and I’m talking the tip of my elbow. the problem with that is that the handles for your hands are not long enough to comfortably hold if you have to put your elbows so far forward on the pads to prevent them from hurting. I wish the knee pads did not have a gap and I wish that the arm rests were solid. It would be a 5 star winner with those changes/upgrades. This machine does work though. It has worked my stomach enough that laughing hurts. if I just get my crunches done fast, I can handle the pain for my elbows and my knees. no pain no gain, right? to be honest I don’t want to be uncomfortable while I work out. It’s already uncomfortable working out and I don’t need the machines to make it even worse. I am contemplating on returning this one and finding one that hopefully won’t add to the discomfort of working out. I will give it a week to see if maybe I just need to break in my knees and elbows.

There were several reviews that said this was difficult to assemble, but I found the assembly to be very fast & easy. There are assembly instructions included & assembly is simple - insert 2 removable pins, screw in 6 bolts, clip on a decorative cover & LCD display, plug LCD Display into sensor, slide the foam arm rests on arms, and snap the caps on. It was fast and simple, and there are step by step instructions (in English) included along with pictures of each step. I hate doing crunches & sit-ups. They hurt my back & my neck. This machine gives an excellent ab workout, with no back or neck pain. The knee & arm rests are very comfortable. I can also feel it working my arm muscles & a bit in my upper thighs. This machine is really easy to use, but also works really well. The reason I purchased this machine instead of the similar models is that the knee rests slide independently on this machine so you are supposed to be able to work thighs/hips. That part doesn't really work well for me. I am 5'2 and if I try to slide the knee rests one at a time it does hurt my back a little. It feels like the track is a bit too long and it pulls my back weird for me to use the machine that way. I think it would work fine for taller people. It may also work for shorter people who have stronger abs - but I just got this machine and I am not there yet! This machine is a great ab machine when sliding both knee rests at the same time though so overall I am very happy with the purchase & highly recommend this machine.

The Fitlaya Fitness ab Machine arrived earlier than expected and was quick and simple to assemble. It really makes your abs burn! At first the hand bars left my hands feeling a bit sore after working out, but now I find it very comfortable to use. Just takes some getting used to. The machine is also super sturdy. I have not once felt like it was going to collapse or tip over. I feel very grounded when I use it. I really enjoy it, simply because it makes an excellent fresh and challenging alternative to ab workouts.

Me encanta su calidad precio, es muy resistente aunque no lo parezca.

A parte de que me llegó dañado esteticamente, el precio no creo que lo valga prefiero la rueda ABS. Cuando subes no se siente bien el aparato, no lo volvería a comprar.

très stable et solide, les roulettes on l'air solide mais je commence alors aucune idée encore si elle vont durer. j'ai confiance, je crois bien que sa va durer plus longtemps que un a moins de 100 $, les roulettes sont plus solide. j'adore le fait de pouvoir bouger les jambes indépendamment . une très bonne machine je la recommande a tous on sent bien que sa travail la où il le faut!

product is great but shipping caused damage to the product. not enough damage to product that it hindered its use. the protective plastic end caps that are on the feet were damaged and cracked. there was no extra protection in the box and in shipping the bars were dented on the end but not in the place were it rest on the floor so it doesn't effect the performance of the equipment. other then that i love the machine it is easy to use and put together. i love it and used it the same day i got it. cant wait to use it again tomorrow.
