Quality of board

By Mary Miles, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I received the board last Christmas and have used it at least 20 times a month. I am way below the weight maximum, and when I went to use the board tonight, I heard a crack. I checked the board and sure enough, there is a stress fracture in the board. it didn't even last a year. I loved it while I had it, but am very disappointed in the quality of the board.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

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

Love my board

By Joanne M., Pennsylvania, Verified Reviewer

I am 70 years old and received a board as a gift. My balance was not what it used to be but after a few days, wow, what an improvement. I've had it for two years and got on it ten days ago, and it cracked. I'm not heavy and use it as instructed. I was very sad but decided to contact the company, and they couldn't have been nicer. They asked that I send them a picture of the crack, and I couldn't do it on my computer (skills are not that great)! They were so kind they sent me a brand new one that I received yesterday.

I am back on it today! I have never dealt with customer service that was so easy and nice. I told my daughter when I saw her at lunch with her friends, and they asked about it and mentioned their parents could use something like this too. I know it 's good for exercise but my main concern is balance, and I would recommend this to anyone.

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

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

Good

By Shelby, Verified Reviewer

I am pretty fit for a 60-year-old woman, as I do half marathons, ski and do weights. I was pleasantly surprised when I started using the board as I got an elevated heart rate and felt the muscles in my legs working. I have just started using it, primarily to watch TV, and think it is a really good addition to my exercise gear and regime.

Not at all easy as you see on commercial

By Ronnie B, Queens, NY, Verified Reviewer

I bought this Fit Board because I kept seeing the commercials and I thought to myself, this product looks easy to use and I can burn calories simply by watching TV and twisting. Boy, was I was surprised at how hard that it was. I also purchased the mat along with it because I have hardwood floors.

It was really difficult to balance on this board and move side to side without feeling or actually falling off. I also had other members of my family try out the board who are more fit and agile. They fell off the board too. I packaged this product up so quick and returned to store for a refund.

Do not purchase this. It is not as easy as they make it seems.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Works for me!

By Cathy, Bowling Green, KY, Verified Reviewer

I purchased the Simply Fit Board in February of 2017 and it works my core as well as my arms, hips, and legs. I truly get a full body workout. I know that some type of exercise at 55+ is better than nothing at all. I like it, and the benefits that I am getting, and will continue using my lime green Simply Fit Board.

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

Pretty nice

By Jaime, Florida, Verified Reviewer

I ordered mine for Christmas from the Simply Fit Board website, and it came on time, with no problems.

I love twisting away while I watch TV. The DVD is way too easy for me. I am not in shape by any means, but I feel like it is over before I am even out of breath. The ab workout on the DVD is the only one worth doing.

Overall, I like it.

Cracked

By Candy Brown McCue, Michigan, Verified Reviewer

It cracked down the middle, and I'm only 185 pounds. I only used a couple of times. So not worth the price I paid. Bummer, very disappointing. And because I've had it longer then 60 days I'm screwed. It says 400 pounds, but that's not true at all, so think twice before buying. It is not a good investment.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Amazing!

By Amanda Mann, Virginia, Verified Reviewer

This is low impact and perfect for those of us with knee or joint problems. I've done everything from to just twisting in front of the TV to following YouTube workouts. It's helped me trim down and lose weight (about 30 lbs in 9 months). I LOVE IT!

Customer Service

By Kimberly, Anaheim, CA, Verified Reviewer

I strongly agree that the website needs lots of improvement. For the world of technology, there is no email address to ask questions. I work two jobs, and there is not enough time to call.

My problem is that after five minutes on the board, my ankles are on fire. Is this normal? Who do you ask? Does it end if I keep it up? For all the hype about this product, I am disappointed in the website and lack of foresight in planning for customer questions.

I will say that it's a lot of fun, not sure if it produces the results, as five minutes a day won't give me a good measure.

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