Great!

By Susan D., Ambler, PA, Verified Reviewer

I’ve been using this board for about two months. I bought it on Amazon.com for about $33. I just love it. I use it along with 1 lb to 5 lb arm weights and feel I get a really good workout...

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

SimplyFit Board product review

By Terry C., Staunton, VA, Verified Reviewer

I've had four boards in two years. I paid for the first board and the other three boards were free, in which I was grateful. I can no longer get a free board because the warranty has expired. There's a defect in this product because it keeps breaking. I'm using the board correctly and I don't weigh over 500 pounds. I'm very disappointed that they don't stand by their product. I was offered a discount if I wanted a new board but this isn't an option if it keeps breaking.

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

Don't waste your money

By Lori F., Massachusetts, Verified Reviewer

I just tried the Simply Fit Board. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless you just want to work on a balance issue or are recovering from an ankle injury. I am 58 years old and I found the workout to be nothing more than what you can do in your own home with a couple of weights. The video included was boring, the music was annoying, and there was no motivation for even a beginner to get excited about.

I originally saw the Simply Fit board on Shark Tank and thought it looked fun. When it was featured on The View at a reduced price, I decided to try it. The first disappointment was the tiny mat that is included. The second and biggest disappointment was that the exercises are nothing special and nothing specific to the Simply Fit Board. I can do squats and sit-ups without spending extra money on a useless piece of equipment. And there are plenty of free workout videos available online that are much more engaging than the 80's style video included with the Simply Fit Board. I am in the process of trying to return mine for a refund.

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

Simply broke

By Terry M., Hillsdale, MI, Verified Reviewer

I purchased my Simply Fit board on eBay a little over a year ago. I use it for 5 minutes or less 5 days a week. I weigh less than 200 lbs (less than half of the posted 400 lb capacity of the board). This morning I got on the board and it snapped in half, almost causing me to fall to the floor! It gets your heart rate up so it can burn calories, but the board needs to be thicker or reinforced so it won't break in half.

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

Company does not stand behind their product!

By Diane S., Michigan, Verified Reviewer

I asked for this for a Christmas gift and was excited when I received it. My board has started to crack in the middle after less than a year's use (and I weigh under 200 lbs). When I called Simply Fit Board...they claim they have not heard of this issue in the past. After reading some of these reviews, that surely is NOT true. The company will not even allow a discount on a new board purchase. Sad, sad company!

Disappointed

By Denise F., Onanole, Manitoba, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I was liking the board but with not a lot of use or weight, it is literally cracking in half! Really unhappy now and have been unable to find a contact to share the picture of the broken board!

Good Board, horrible customer service site

By John Schwind, Sacramento, CA, Verified Reviewer

We have a board not purchased from the Simply Fit company. I wanted to order another and had the misfortune of dialing the number listed on their website.

It is the most useless site I have seen in years. After minutes of fighting the automated system, we finally got a human for several seconds, then the phone disconnects. When compared to Amazon and many others, it is amateurish at best. All we want to know is whether it is in stock. Don't they tell you in the online order system? Even Bed Bath & Beyond says they are out of stock. Would this be so difficult? I will buy from ANYONE but Simply Fit. It is an annoying, frustrating experience and one I would not suggest.

Amazon and Bed Bath & Beyond will also ship for free, but not Simply Fit.

Despite the shipping, I would buy it if their online AND phone system went through major and much-needed improvements. I nearly made the mistake of ordering it before Christmas, and only near the end of the call was I able to determine they were out of stock in the color I had intended to buy. I ordered from Bed Bath & Beyond.

An improved customer experience, including a little training for phone personnel, is definitely in order. It's like the online and phone business is new to them?

No good!

By Edwin P., Tennessee, Verified Reviewer

I would not waste my time or money on this product. I bought mine at Walmart for only $9 in clearance because no one wants it. Shark Tank did a good job promoting this and they have made lots of money fooling the public. There are so many better exercises that will actually work for you like doing planks! Be smart and don't follow the hype.

Have not had board one year and broken!

By Carol M., Canada, Verified Reviewer

To whom it may concern,

I love the Simply Fit Board. My problem is that it cracked down the middle. I have been very careful and always used a mat underneath, yet less than one year of use and I can "no longer" use it and just bought another.

I hope this doesn't happen again.

I did pay extra so that if it does crack again I can replace at "no cost" to me again, but I don't feel this should have happened in the first place.

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

Longevity

By Mark K., Georgia, Verified Reviewer

My wife loved using her Simply Fit Board. The problem is that it only lasted a year and about a month ago it starting geting stress fractured in the middle on both sides. Now tonight it split halfway through the middle. We bought it from Target, so I do not have an order number. Why is there not a longer warranty for an item that seems at first that it's is made from a qulity material? The crack is the only issue she had, other than that, it did help and motivated her to lose weight. She is more sad than mad about her board.

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

I really like this

By Elizabeth B., California, Verified Reviewer

I purchased the Simply Fit Board at a discount retailer about six months ago. I use it daily as a balance board with my standing desk at work. I love the Simply Fit Board so much more than the basic rocker board I started with. I feel more energized as I work and enjoy taking brief breaks to twist to music or listen to podcasts and exercise my abs. I definitely miss it when I am just standing on solid ground at my desk. I use other means to stay fit the rest of the time, but when I am at work, this is a wonderful solution. I've used my board for about six months with no trouble at all.

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