Great motivative board

By LeighAnn, Loveland, CO, Verified Reviewer

What I really like about it is that it's a simple ten-minute workout! And with that ten minutes, it gives me the motivation to do more. And gives me the sense of accomplishment when I finish the ten minutes. I love it. It's a great beginner workout.

Oh and I also have bad knees and it's not any problem because all the twist is in the waist. I highly recommend it. Plus it's great for balance.

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

Speedy shipping, simple device

By Susan Elliott, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I was very pleased about how fast the board shipped. I ordered it on a Monday evening, and it was delivered by 4 pm on Thursday.

It's a simple device, I'm a little skeptical about its durability, but I've only had it for a week, so time will tell. I didn't order the mat but used a foam mat that I already had. It seems to work just fine. I wouldn't recommend using it on a carpet that you really like. It will mat the fibers down. A low pile commercial carpet could work well.

It's a simple motion, and rather easy to balance. I can walk and chew gum, but a balance beam would be a challenge for me, so it requires co-ordination somewhere between those two activities. If you feel unstable, keep a chair handy in front of you just in case you need to stabilize yourself.

I like how you naturally seem to tuck in your pelvis when you twist, protecting your lower back. I used it for five minutes and then was working my way up, and wow, I was winded but exhilarated. I felt it most in my abs and thighs. You can do a bit of a squat to engage your glutes.

The DVD is loose in the box so make sure you look for it and don't accidentally throw it out.

All in all, it's compact, easy to do while watching TV and I can see the potential to step up your workout routine as your fitness level increases.

I think this exercise device is fun and can work to build muscle and cardio, providing that you use it regularly. The bonus of this board is that it's convenient to use anywhere and stores behind a chair, or in your suitcase on a business trip. It's very easy to bring out and use during the time you'd normally just be sitting around.

I can't comment on their customer service and if there are issues because I haven't had any so far, but for a speedy delivery and good communication during the ordering process, they get an A+. For the item being exactly as describe, they get an A+. And for the ease of use, they get A+. As far as durability, I can't comment on that yet.

Great exercise and heart health

By Joe Saraceno, Florida, Verified Reviewer

I belong to gyms as a SilverSneaker. Unfortunately, the gyms are 6-12 miles from my home. Unless I'm in the area, I didn't get to workout. I had open heart surgery in January of 2014 and need to do cardio for heart health.

I haven't done much until I got the Simply Fit Board in January of 2017. I can now do cardio whenever I feel, for as long as I feel, anywhere and anytime. I have a set of weights and exercise in between my work at home. I can choose when to do my cardio throughout the day. I am a beginner, so I can slowly increase my workout regimen.

Thank you Simply Fit inventors, and Lori from Shark Tank, for bringing this great exercise product to us all. I love it and highly recommend it. And it is a great value. Good luck to Simply Fit.

Love it!

By Susan Johnson, Del Rio, TX, Verified Reviewer

Hello, I am Susan Johnson.

My sister gave me a Simply Fit Board about two weeks ago, and I love it! I have not been this excited about exercising in a long time, and I can’t wait to do my workout. I am 56 years old, out of shape, overweight, with bad knees, bad back, and high blood pressure, so to say I was skeptical is an understatement, but I was game to try it. Watching the video and following the workout makes all the difference, and I have used it daily with no pain or problems of any kind.

I started with the 10-minute workout and have built up easily to 30 minutes with no stress! Additionally, I live in very restricted living quarters (we call it the "sub") and that was the reason my sister thought it would be good for me, and she was right. Having a workout that I can do easily is awesome.

Stay tuned, because my weight is going down for sure this time, and I am so motivated! Thanks to my sister for the thoughtful gift, and thank you Simply Fit for making the world a better place.

P.S. Even my cat loves it (you ought to see that video).

The Fit Board is awesome!

By Batgirl Breamfield, New York, Verified Reviewer

It's the best way to work out in your home as you create balance for yourself.

I'm addicted to the Fit Board; it works the upper and lower muscles of the body, gives you as much cardio as you can stand, fits almost anywhere, is carry-able, cute, works your arms, and makes you work up a sweat!

Fun and addicting

By Patti Creek, Comanche, TX, Verified Reviewer

I just received it three days ago. Not having the best of balance, I thought I would start out slow. It turns out that it is so much fun, and I get on it several times a day. I have even started doing the crunches that are in the workout video. I absolutely love it!

I recommend this to everyone!

Love it.

By Lisa, Tennessee, Verified Reviewer

This is probably the least effort you will have to make to reach your weight loss goals. It is fun and so easy. It is awkward at first, but I was able to maneuver it the second day of use. With a 1,200 calorie "diet," a step counter (I do 5,000 steps a day, five intervals a day, and 1,000 steps per interval) and the Simply Fit Board, I am seeing the weight melt off of me. I highly recommend it.

Love the Fit Board

By Lecia Hockenberry, Pennsylvania, Verified Reviewer

I bought the Fit Board two weeks ago. I'm 54 had two cervical spine surgeries with titanium bar put in, and a lumbar spine surgery. I quit smoking 2 and a 1/2 years ago and gained 50 lbs.

Using the Fit Board is so easy and comfortable with no strain on my spine. And I've lost 2 lbs! For the people that complain about the board moving and going in circles, take it from me, it's because your balance is off. Once you get the hang of it as I have, you will stay in one place with no problem. I love my board.

My Simply Fit Board

By Tamra, Missouri, Verified Reviewer

I absolutely love my Simply Fit Board. I have been using it for two weeks now, and it contributed greatly to my weight loss by simply making me feel better and more active, period. It was a little tricky at first, but I have it down now. And balancing should be a part of anyone's exercise routine.

Excellent for body control

By TamariW, New Haven County, CT, Verified Reviewer

At first, when I started using this twist, and she poured, I had no clue as to where to place my feet. I kept slipping off the board or traveling unintentionally in it. Then I watched the videos on how to place the feet over the grab handles, how to rock back-and-forth on the board, and then actually do some controlled workouts. I was amazed and impressed with the versatility that the board has, and the firmness I am experiencing in my body after just a few days of workouts totaling only 10 or 15 minutes each!

My mother bought the board but she gave up after a few tries, and then she gave it to me. I explored further, and I am so glad she gave me this piece of exercise equipment. It's also so convenient and easy to store.

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.
