  • Low cost, space-saving home fitness tool
  • Lots of online resources for following classes
  • Safe and effective workout tool for those who have joint issues

Cons

  • Boards crack easily, even when users follow the weight limits
  • Workout videos may seem dated
  • It takes some time to master

Website has an outright lie

By Deanna Bishop, Arkansas, Verified Reviewer

I love the board, but when I went to order the Advanced workout DVD, which I quote, their website says:

These Advanced full body workouts are not included on the Basic DVD.

HOWEVER, it is an outright copy of the last three videos of the original DVD.

I was sent two replacements, and the fifth time I called and asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told I would be given a credit. That was just today, so I will see if I receive the credit.

Three people have told me that they were different workouts, but the last person said it was a review of the original. Why do they sell it and claim it is different? I wish I could let the owners know what is being done.

I would recommend the board, but buy it at WalMart. Same board, same price, same DVD.

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

Simply Fit Board review

By Deborah, Massachusetts, Verified Reviewer

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.

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

Great Product - Try It, You'll Love it.

By Pat Stebbins, SC, Verified Reviewer

I'm 69 years old and my doctor wanted me to do something to build my core. Four years ago, I had gastric bypass surgery and even though I lost a lot of weight, my core became weak. I hate to exercise and had tried many things. I even hated yoga. I saw the show with Lori and the Workout Board and decided to try it. I LOVE IT. I use it every day, my core is building, and my balance is becoming better all the time. I'm walking straighter and have so much more energy. We've only been using it for a month and love it. I add time to my workout every day without even realizing it. My husband uses it also and we are both enjoying the heck out of it. It doesn't feel like exercising and works. Thanks, Lori. This was a great move on your part. Merry Christmas to all of you on Shark Tank. Keep up the good work. And, thanks again for the Workout Board.

I like it and so do my coworkers

By Blank, Arizona, Verified Reviewer

My sister and I both bought one. I've only had my fit board for a couple of weeks now, so I am not sure yet if there is any weight loss, but I am hopeful. I try to do a 3-5 minute workout at my desk each hour. I share it with my coworkers who then do a 3-5 minute at their desk. We all love it and I agree with another review writer's comment, my balance does seem to be getting better and the board isn't walking as much. I'm pretty much staying in the same spot. You can even do squats while you are twisting. I promise you if you use it, you'll feel you are using it in your muscles. I'm hoping for some muscle toning more than weight loss. I'm happy with my purchase. I think you get what you put into it. This is my humble opinion.

You Guys Suck

By George Tsepetis, New York, Verified Reviewer

I put my order in on 11/29 and it's "Out of stock" and won't be "Expected, not guaranteed" delivered on "Expected delivery of Jan 02, 2017." And there is no customer service whatsoever to ask if a different color is available?

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

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

Needs better customer service and website

By Melinda Love, Phoenix, Verified Reviewer

Very poor customer service. It took over 3 weeks for my delivery. Very difficult to find customer service contact information on the website. The product is okay to use, but the whole website, customer services needs improvement. I would not recommend to anyone to go on the website to try to order. Very disappointed that was backed by on of the sharks on Shark Tank.

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

Double Charge Double Ship

By Tom, Denver, CO, Verified Reviewer

I ordered the board, mat, and DVD, received a confirmation of my order, received an email that it was being shipped, then they billed me twice and shipped 2 boards, mats, and DVDs. When I called them they said that it was my problem and that they could not provide me with a credit until they receive the duplicate order back. I have to ship and then once they receive it 5 days later it would still take another 3-5 business days. The rep said sorry nothing I can do, and also had the nerve to say maybe I hit the button twice. I shared I received one confirmation and one order number for one board. The charges created an overdraw on my bank account. Their mistake became my problem. Watch your bank accounts it looks like they are boosting sales through double shipments.

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

Credit for return

By Vicki Lohmiller, Lafayette, IN, Verified Reviewer

I ordered this board and returned it after 30 days because I would not use it. On 11/4/16 I called the customer service desk and asked about my credit, was told the credit had not been issued for some reason. They said the credit would be issued 3 to 5 business days. NO CREDIT so I just called again 12/1 and was told the account has not been credited because my credit card did not go through. I use this credit card every single day, no reason why this would not have gone through. Customer service once again said they would send this thru the accounting office to credit my account but would not give me a number to call them directly. Just beware if you order and want to return - good luck getting your credit.

Not a happy customer.

Not up to 400 lbs

I was using my sister's Simply Fit Board and the thing cracked right in the middle. I am not near 400 lbs, this product has bogus claims.

No results so far

By Edmond, USA, Verified Reviewer

I have been using the board for 30 minutes every day, religiously everyday. I have not experienced any significant weight loss. I have been in the same 7-pound range for three months. I know because I am keeping a daily log. I had hoped this would be a fun routine for losing a few extra pounds. Not so for my efforts.

I do feel like I have a better sense of balance, and maybe a little more flexibility, but no real results for weight loss.

My review is that this product, while fun, does not deliver the weight loss suggested.

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