Didn't even receive

By Sam, Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I ordered the product on December 3, 2016, and after not receiving it in the mail I checked the status online, and it stated it was out of stock.

I didn't understand how they were able to sell something without even having it in stock? They should have at least warned me that it would take longer to receive because I had ordered this for a Christmas gift. When I called the number on December 20th, I was told it would be another week, and I have now called back on January 4, 2017, to only be told that the order wouldn't be shipped until at least the middle of January.

Although it was easy to cancel my order, I am very frustrated with this service, not to mention I have been out a Christmas gift.

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

Love it.

By Susan, Florence, MS, Verified Reviewer

It took a little time to get the hang of balancing. My calves felt it more than anything because of the shape of the board, but bending my knees helped with easing the discomfort of my calves. I've used it with the first workout provided on the DVD. That workout was 10 minutes. I don't know yet if the rest of the workouts will be the same length. I watched TV while doing the basic twist exercise.

I bought it at WalMart. If I had bought it online, I would have gotten the mat that goes with it. If you don't get your balance right, you will "travel" across the room. Overall, I like the product and its ease of use.

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

Be careful

By Patricia Jung, Pace, FL, Verified Reviewer

The first time I used the Simply Fit Board, it flew across the floor one way, and I flew the other way. I broke both wrists. Nowhere on the pamphlet does it say to use it on a mat or carpet. Maybe that is just common sense (as my husband pointed out to me) but not everyone is so blessed. So if you do purchase this product, please be careful and don't use it while you're home alone.

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

Best exerciser ever

By Traudi, Belmont, MA, Verified Reviewer

I received this as a present and to improve my balance.

First, I was scared to get on that thing, because I'm a senior and my balance was not there to start out. So I got myself a metal rod to fit between doors, something I could hold on to and not fear to fall. I now find the board more effective than most other training machines. I do several rounds of 100 a day, and feel my strength and balance has already improved.

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

Love it

By Barb, Charlotte, NC, Verified Reviewer

At 51 years of age, I have worked out most of my adult life and always looking for something new to shake things up. I love this board, you will get a good workout in, in a short period of time. I recommend it highly!

Order

By Diane, Gillette, WY, Verified Reviewer

I wish I could share a review as to how the Simply Fit Board works. Unfortunately, I have not received mine yet. I ordered this product on 12/09/2016, and as of this date (12/28/2016) I have not received it. It is a good thing that it wasn't a Christmas present. I really didn't think that it would take this long. Tomorrow will be 20 days, Wow.

I really can't wait to get it. If I could cancel this order, I would. I can now buy it in the stores and could be using it already.

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

So fun, we love it! LOL

By Lynn Vondran, Pennsylvania, Verified Reviewer

I will never make fun of those doing the commercial again. I LOVE it, and will like it even MORE when I master this contraption! But, we have had so much joking fun with it, and we've each only used it twice so far. I think I will do much better on it when I can stop laughing. Here is my story.

This is a bit upsetting (but really, it's FUNNY). While trying my Simply Fit Board (that I received as a Christmas gift from my husband Mike), he hears this crackling coming from the board. From the TV room he says, "What's that crackling? It doesn't do that when I use it!" Hmmmmm. I told him, "It's because I'm on the edge of the rug." I look down, and I'm not on the rug at all, because by that time I had traveled off the rug, and the thing was still crackling. I then told him, "It must be because I have heavy muscles and bones (because I am under 200 pounds), and this thing is supposed to hold people up to and including 400 pounds." To which he just sits in his chair and laughs!

Then he hears a WHOOP and quickly asks what happened. I didn't want to answer him, but told him anyway, "I just did a complete 360 turn." He gets up and thinks I'm going to let him get his camera to make a video of me on this contraption, LOL. Guess AGAIN, honey, no way, SORRY!

Does it benefit the body? Yes, it does! I feel it, and I'm not even doing it the right way. Well, I AM, but I need a little bit more practice on it before it will turn into a breeze exercise routine, LOL.

Would I recommend it to a friend? Already HAVE! :)

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

The place where it was made

By Joelle, Minot, North Dakota , Verified Reviewer

Love it, but they could've had it made in the USA. Disappointed in that part. Support your country!

Not what I expected

By Ohio Native , Verified Reviewer

Did not feel it working as promised. The board walks when you're using it. I am returning it because it is not worth the price.

I feel misled

By Larry V., Portland, OR, Verified Reviewer

I feel misled, and this board does very little to tone your abs and really hurts your legs, leaving you with the feeling that you ran five miles.

In my opinion, the advertisers of this product mislead you by saying it is great for burning calories and losing weight when in reality, all this board is good for is improving your balance. What the heck!

I have used this board for about one hour, 15 minutes each day, and my legs hurt so bad that I might just find a different workout. I am VERY upset that I even bought this board! I would have to twist my brains out just to loose a few lousy pounds.

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