Simply Fit Board

By Rachel Raymond, Claremont, NH, Verified Reviewer

You don’t need to purchase the mat. It works best on the carpet. The key to not traveling around the room is - heels back, knees bent, head forward, and twist with the waist! It took me a few days to stay in one place.

Do not try to do in front of a large television if you are prone to getting seasick. I tried it for 3 days, feeling sick to my stomach every time. On the 4th day I went in my bedroom and used Fit Board in front of my iPad and I was fine!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fun and sweaty!

By Jamie , Verified Reviewer

I just got mine. I was really excited to try something quiet because I have a gazelle machine that is very squeaky and everyone complains when the TV is on if I'm trying to use it. I jumped on it in my bare feet and started twisting. I absolutely love it!

It's a lot of fun and you don't even notice that you're working out. I was sweaty just from the basic twist without weights after about five minutes. Yes, the board walks around a little bit depending on how your body is leaning while you're twisting. I would assume it works when you are not engaging and focusing on your core. When I'm paying attention, it doesn't scoot around the floor. So my guess is that as my cord get stronger I will stand up straighter and not lean into it and that won't be an issue. But for right now I am very happy with the product. I plan to use it every day so that I can probably jump into my bikini and feel really good about it! I think that is an attainable goal for a 40-year-old with this product. I think I will probably purchase more of these for holiday gifts.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It's working for me.

By Ralph, North Carolina, Verified Reviewer

I am 60 years old and well over 300 lb. It took some practice to learn to balance on the board, and even more practice to use it for any length of time. I use it for 30-60 minutes per day while watching TV. My personal preference is to use it barefoot. If I get tired or lose my balance, I just get off of it for a while and try again later. The board is not my only form of exercise, but I really enjoy it.

I Love It!

By Jackie Nichols, Titusville, FL, Verified Reviewer

I got my Simply Fit Board approximately two weeks ago. I try to use it daily and have already seen results, I have already dropped 5 lbs!

I work in the school system and often don't have time for exercise but this makes it so easy. I told several of my co-workers about it and took it to work with me today and let everyone try it and they loved it. I have had several co-workers text me for the order info and they are all ordering it. We are even considering after work group workouts in the school cafeteria.

This board makes workouts fun and easy! Thank you!

Once you learn to use it correctly, you will LOVE IT

By Kristine D., Ohio, Verified Reviewer

I purchased the Simply Fit Board a few weeks ago. I absolutely love it. I read some previous complaints, and the major one was that the board tends to "walk" as you use it. This goes away after a few workouts, I promise! I was frustrated at first, just like other new users. Now, I stay in the same place and don't even think about it. It is all about your body adjusting to the balance. Don't give up or get frustrated. This is a great product, it is easy to store, absolutely silent, and gives a full body workout. I do not normally enjoy strength training. The strength exercises they have come up with are enjoyable and actually produce results. The rocking plank is genius. Thank you so much for this product.

Great Product - Try It, You'll Love it.

By Pat Stebbins, SC, Verified Reviewer

I'm 69 years old and my doctor wanted me to do something to build my core. Four years ago, I had gastric bypass surgery and even though I lost a lot of weight, my core became weak. I hate to exercise and had tried many things. I even hated yoga. I saw the show with Lori and the Workout Board and decided to try it. I LOVE IT. I use it every day, my core is building, and my balance is becoming better all the time. I'm walking straighter and have so much more energy. We've only been using it for a month and love it. I add time to my workout every day without even realizing it. My husband uses it also and we are both enjoying the heck out of it. It doesn't feel like exercising and works. Thanks, Lori. This was a great move on your part. Merry Christmas to all of you on Shark Tank. Keep up the good work. And, thanks again for the Workout Board.

Simply Fit Board review

By Deborah, Massachusetts, Verified Reviewer

I'm so glad I did not order mine based on the reviews. Thankfully, I bought mine at WalMart.

This is my 3rd day using the board, with Rosalee Brown's YouTube videos and fantastic toning results. I did sweat a lot on the 20-30 minute videos, and I can do my free weights while twisting or rocking on the board. I had been spending too much time watching TV or being on my computer on a daily basis and was unable to pull away for any meaningful exercise routine. I also have back, ankle, foot, and other limitations where I always hurt myself, and have a hard time starting up again, but this has helped with my balance, motivation, and strength.

Each time I finish using the board, I want to stretch, do yoga and other exercises, and because of this, it was worth every penny of the $39.95, (and more if I keep up with it). It just took a few days to get used to the board. I have area rugs, so yea, it works best on a rug. One review said it made a hole in their rug, so watch out for that and get a cheap area rug if you notice any wear.

Merry Christmas to me, as I couldn't be happier with this product, but for heaven's sake, they need to fix the nightmare their sales/customer service is providing according to the reviews here. That's why I hate ordering online or by phone with my credit card.

So fun, we love it! LOL

By Lynn Vondran, Pennsylvania, Verified Reviewer

I will never make fun of those doing the commercial again. I LOVE it, and will like it even MORE when I master this contraption! But, we have had so much joking fun with it, and we've each only used it twice so far. I think I will do much better on it when I can stop laughing. Here is my story.

This is a bit upsetting (but really, it's FUNNY). While trying my Simply Fit Board (that I received as a Christmas gift from my husband Mike), he hears this crackling coming from the board. From the TV room he says, "What's that crackling? It doesn't do that when I use it!" Hmmmmm. I told him, "It's because I'm on the edge of the rug." I look down, and I'm not on the rug at all, because by that time I had traveled off the rug, and the thing was still crackling. I then told him, "It must be because I have heavy muscles and bones (because I am under 200 pounds), and this thing is supposed to hold people up to and including 400 pounds." To which he just sits in his chair and laughs!

Then he hears a WHOOP and quickly asks what happened. I didn't want to answer him, but told him anyway, "I just did a complete 360 turn." He gets up and thinks I'm going to let him get his camera to make a video of me on this contraption, LOL. Guess AGAIN, honey, no way, SORRY!

Does it benefit the body? Yes, it does! I feel it, and I'm not even doing it the right way. Well, I AM, but I need a little bit more practice on it before it will turn into a breeze exercise routine, LOL.

Would I recommend it to a friend? Already HAVE! :)

Best exerciser ever

By Traudi, Belmont, MA, Verified Reviewer

I received this as a present and to improve my balance.

First, I was scared to get on that thing, because I'm a senior and my balance was not there to start out. So I got myself a metal rod to fit between doors, something I could hold on to and not fear to fall. I now find the board more effective than most other training machines. I do several rounds of 100 a day, and feel my strength and balance has already improved.

Simply Fit Board

By Angelya Otts, Alabama, Verified Reviewer

I purchased my Simply Fit Board at a local store. It comes with a CD that has an instructional section along with several workouts. I recommend you to watch it, as it explains why the board may be "walking" all over the room (it has to do with balance). I love my board and the workouts that come with it. I purchased a small bath rug to put mine on just to keep it from scratching my wood floors.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
