Simply Fit Board

Even though the board is advertised to support weights of 400 pounds, I only weigh 126 and my board has cracked down the middle. I went to the QVC site which is where I purchased the board, and it seems they no longer sell this item.

I am very disappointed as I did enjoy using it prior to it cracking.

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.

This board works great, and I love it. I use it three times a week and have lost weight and improved my balance. But tonight, when I was on it, it split right down the middle. What good is it if it breaks? Is this so you have to keep buying more?

I'm having a hard time using the Simply Fit Board because it walks all over the place. I called customer service to be told (by a very nice lady I might add) to simply try a yoga mat under it, but this does not work.

I notice on the infomercials they are using some kind of mat under it. Can I purchase this mat?

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!

I spent $120 for the board, the matt, and the DVD.

I used it for three days and had a hard time balancing while twisting. The fourth day I woke up and couldn't put any weight on my knee due to pain. The pain progressively got worse and I experienced pain in my calf and around the ankle. After x-rays and a hospital visit, I found out that I have a lateral strain and fluid under the knee cap from the injury. The fluid is seeping out and going down my leg, which is causing the muscle pain in my calf and around the ankle. I am on pain killers and anti-inflammatories and am scheduled for an ultrasound for a better look at the damage. I have missed three weeks of work and am couch bound.

This product is the worst. I was fine until I used it. Not only did I lose the expense of the product, but due to the pain and suffering I have been having, I also have three weeks of lost wages. It also has stopped me from my usual exercise.

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.

I bought this for my wife as she wanted to tone up her waist, hips, etc. She works in a manufacturing warehouse, so she is in decent shape.

The first time she used it, she had sore muscles around her tailbone area. She waited until it eased up and used it one more time. This time, however, she hurt more and ended up going to a chiropractor and a massage therapist. She won't use the board anymore as the massage therapist advised her not to as it is the worse thing you can do to tone up. She recommended sitting in an office type swivel chair with feet on the floor and swivel back and forth. She gets the same type of workout without hurting herself.

This cost me over $130 (for the board and office visits). I don't think the board is worth it.

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.

I bought the Simply Fit Board about a year ago. I love it and use it almost every day. It is cracking, and now I’m afraid to use it because I’m afraid it will break while I am on it. I am a size 12 and don’t think I am too heavy for the board.

I thought they would last longer than this and am disappointed that I am not able to use it anymore. I think there should be a warranty on the board.

I received my Simply Fit Board for Christmas.

It is a low impact workout, and my first impression was favorable. It was fun and easy to use, and it doesn't require much space. However, after about a week of use, I developed excruciating back and hip pain. If you have issues with your lower back or hips, this might not be the workout for you.

And while it is a fun, low-impact exercise, I think you would have to add some significant other exercises to get the results you are really looking for.
