Quality of board

By Mary Miles, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I received the board last Christmas and have used it at least 20 times a month. I am way below the weight maximum, and when I went to use the board tonight, I heard a crack. I checked the board and sure enough, there is a stress fracture in the board. it didn't even last a year. I loved it while I had it, but am very disappointed in the quality of the board.

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

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

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

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!

I do not like how the board walks

By Cathy Smith, Edmonton, Alberta, Verified Reviewer

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?

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

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?

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

Cracked board

By Ruth Smith, Daingerfield, TX, Verified Reviewer

I've had my Simply Fit Board for several months but never used it faithfully until the last three weeks. I weigh 220 pounds and am down 10 pounds. I am using the board for 30 to 45 minutes a day. However, the board is cracking across the middle. If it is rated for 400 lbs and I weigh 220, so why is it cracking?

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

Board has a big crack in it after being used less than a year

By Debra Granby, Newton, IL, Verified Reviewer

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.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would 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

Simply Fit mat offer

By Karen S., Frisco, TX, Verified Reviewer

The Simply Fit Board is great! The Simply Fit mat offered along with the DVDs for an additional $14.99 is horrible!

It is toxic smelling and the shipping plastic around it had yellow residue. It was so bad it made my hall closet and everything in it smell. I had to throw it out. It was not touching anything in the closet. I would order the board again but this additional offer was not worth it.

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

Cracked

By Amy M., Iowa, Verified Reviewer

I was on my board and looked down and noticed it was cracked down the middle. I’m worried it’s going to break in half. Customer service was terrible. Not willing to work with me to guarantee satisfaction.

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