Love it

By Barb, Charlotte, NC, Verified Reviewer

At 51 years of age, I have worked out most of my adult life and always looking for something new to shake things up. I love this board, you will get a good workout in, in a short period of time. I recommend it highly!

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

Love it.

By Susan, Florence, MS, Verified Reviewer

It took a little time to get the hang of balancing. My calves felt it more than anything because of the shape of the board, but bending my knees helped with easing the discomfort of my calves. I've used it with the first workout provided on the DVD. That workout was 10 minutes. I don't know yet if the rest of the workouts will be the same length. I watched TV while doing the basic twist exercise.

I bought it at WalMart. If I had bought it online, I would have gotten the mat that goes with it. If you don't get your balance right, you will "travel" across the room. Overall, I like the product and its ease of use.

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

It works if you take your time.

By Brian H., Columbia, MO, Verified Reviewer

Like with any exercise, you have to start off slow and work your way up to going faster. First get your balance on the board by rocking on it. Then start twisting slow and work your way up. By doing this, you will stop falling off the board, and it will not creep across your floor. I use it through-out the day. Beats being run over by vehicles when running/jogging/walking. I started feeling my leg muscles getting sore from day one, and then the other muscles as I progressed up.

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

Not what I expected

By Ohio Native , Verified Reviewer

Did not feel it working as promised. The board walks when you're using it. I am returning it because it is not worth the price.

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

Didn't even receive

By Sam, Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I ordered the product on December 3, 2016, and after not receiving it in the mail I checked the status online, and it stated it was out of stock.

I didn't understand how they were able to sell something without even having it in stock? They should have at least warned me that it would take longer to receive because I had ordered this for a Christmas gift. When I called the number on December 20th, I was told it would be another week, and I have now called back on January 4, 2017, to only be told that the order wouldn't be shipped until at least the middle of January.

Although it was easy to cancel my order, I am very frustrated with this service, not to mention I have been out a Christmas gift.

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

Destroyed my new floor

By Kim, Pennsylvania, Verified Reviewer

While using the Simply Fit Board, the friction of using it caused a peeling hole in my linoleum floor.

If you use this, place carpet or a mat down under it. It destroyed my new flooring!

Great tool for burning calories

By Robert J., Shreveport, LA, Verified Reviewer

First, let me say I bought my first Simply Fit Board on a whim in February 2018 while in a checkout line in Walmart.

I started doing 10 minutes, steadily increasing the length of time until I reached 2 hours. When I started in February, I weighed 216 pounds, not fat just stocky, and this morning I weighed in at 182 pounds.

I googled "how does a 62-year-old lose his belly fat" and the answer was simple, burn 500 more calories than you consume. I quickly went on a diet counting my calories and used my Garmin watch to monitor my calories burned and noticed the longer I stayed on the Simply Fit Board, the more calories I burned. Currently, I'm doing an hour and a half on the board and burn between 1500 and 2000 calories before 8 AM. I am down from a tight 36-inch waist to a loose 34-inch waist.

I recently visited my doctor and she was so impressed with the weight loss and how it affected my cholesterol and could speak highly enough about my results.

Let me add, if you use the Simply Fit Board as I do, you will have to replace it about every 4 months, I just bought my third, it's plastic and nothing plastic last forever.

One other benefit that I did not count on, I move from sitting to standing on average 60-70 times a day Monday thru Friday at work and my hips were killing me, but now I am pain-free and the only thing I can attribute that to is the Simply Fit Board.

4-year-old Fit Board

By Linda S., Wylie, TX, Verified Reviewer

I’m 66 and weigh 125 lbs I use my fit board almost every day. Today I got on my Fit Board and found it was splitting in the middle. I was surprised as the weight max is 400 lbs. I have taken very good care of my board so not sure why it split. I now need to go buy another one. Just wanted to know if anyone else has had any trouble with their board splitting. Also, if anyone has a clue as to why it has split, please let me know I only use it for twisting and hold 3 lb weights while I’m twisting. I highly recommend the Fit Board, I have thoroughly enjoyed it, and my mid-section is in the best shape than it has been in years. Just very sad the board did not last very long.

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

Order

By Diane, Gillette, WY, Verified Reviewer

I wish I could share a review as to how the Simply Fit Board works. Unfortunately, I have not received mine yet. I ordered this product on 12/09/2016, and as of this date (12/28/2016) I have not received it. It is a good thing that it wasn't a Christmas present. I really didn't think that it would take this long. Tomorrow will be 20 days, Wow.

I really can't wait to get it. If I could cancel this order, I would. I can now buy it in the stores and could be using it already.

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

Board cracked in less than 3 months

By Lynn S., Willmar, MN, Verified Reviewer

Very disappointed! I absolutely loved this board and the CD that came with it, but I wish I had read all the reviews before purchasing to see how many complaints there are about them cracking. I would go home every day and do at least 2 work outs, and I could really feel improvement, especially in my core.

I only weigh 160 lbs, well under the proclaimed 400 lbs. It is past the return period, so I am out the purchase price. I have not been able to find a contact for the Simply Fit customer service other than to order another one, which I will not do.

Unless you can afford to throw away $40 every few months, do not buy this! It seems that all the complaints are pretty much the same, time period after return time is past and well under the 400 lbs.

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

Love it, but they could've had it made in the USA. Disappointed in that part. Support your country!
