Not worth it

By Steve, Lebanon, MO, Verified Reviewer

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.

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

A fun way to exercise

By Bobbie, Menifee, California, Verified Reviewer

It is a fun and easy way to exercise. But, after I used it for 15 minutes a day, my knees starting feeling stiff and were hurting. I bend my knees and stand straight. Am I doing something wrong? I WANT to use the fit board, but will my knees eventually go out, or is this exercise just strengthening my knees?

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

Extremely bad product

By Kelley, Welland, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

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.

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

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.

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!

Terrible!

By Marissa, Orlando, Florida, Verified Reviewer

It's a terrible product!

It moves all over the place and doesn't stay in one place. One time I went in a full circle! I tried it with a yoga mat, and the yoga mat moves with it. I tried it with a carpet, and it doesn't work either. It doesn't even feel like a workout either.

It is a waste of money; just go to the gym instead.

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!

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

Broken board

By Sharon, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

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?

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

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).

Not happy

By Joyce, Muskegon, MI, Verified Reviewer

I ordered my board last December 30th, a lime green one. I received a notice that they were out of the green, but I could get a different color and not have to wait. I opted for an orange one.

I received the board around the 15th of January, but ONLY the board. It was to have two DVD's and instructions with it. I called right away, and they said they were having problems with their system and they would get the DVD's and instructions out right away (although I had to call back the next day to complete the transaction because their system was down then). I called back, and they said they were still having problems, but as soon as possible, they would take care of the matter.

It is now February 6th, and I still have nothing. I called in again and am told they will get this in the mail ASAP, but normal shipping takes 7-10 days. I am thoroughly upset with them and wish I could talk to Laurie (from Shark Tank), to let her know how poorly it is run!

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.
