Injury

By Michelle Fishback, Texas, Verified Reviewer

So I bought this board thinking I could improve my core strength. Instead, I'm now almost immobile. I have injured my SI Joint and now am in awful pain daily. I saw a chiropractor who said that was a bad idea for exercise. I will be seeing another doctor tomorrow for an MRI. This board has ruined my life.

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

Simply Fit Board is great

By Tracy Anderson, Cape Girardeau, MO, Verified Reviewer

I am overweight, have severe degenerative disk disease, no cartilage at all left in my knees, and a ton of other health issues including PTSD. With my PTSD, it makes it hard for me to leave my house to exercise and with my other health issues traditional exercise is not going to cut it with me.

My board (I got the magenta one) has increased my balance by a considerable amount. I don't fall near as much as I used to, I am getting cardio by doing it very quickly and working up a sweat, I have lost some weight and toned, and the best part is, it is so much fun. I'm not going to lie, my calve muscles still ache afterward, since maintaining perfect balance uses more muscles than you think and you quickly know if you're not doing it right with this board because it will walk across the floor with you.

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

It gets me going

By Judy Campbell, Michigan, Verified Reviewer

I am 66, retired, have lower back issues that limit walking and sit too much. My legs are weakening, and balance is getting worse. Then, ta da!

I got this board. I get up, hop on, and get going. I put a rug under it to protect my wooden floor and a chair or counter top in front to grab just in case I wobble. I started slowly. I watched the video online to see how it's done.

I love to hop on every hour for a few minutes when sitting around. Life is good.

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

Truly works, enjoyable!

By Penelope Rider, Ragley, LA, Verified Reviewer

I am 26 years old and have many different health issues that many wouldn't believe. That being said, I hurt all the time, and I finally started the Simply Fit Board and it feels like its working during and after! I feel everything burning, and with the weights I add with it, even better!

I would definitely recommend it for when you're just stuck inside sometimes and still want to have your full body workout. I plan to keep doing it even along with other workouts!

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

Best workout equipment I have ever bought

By Beatrice Floyd, Louisville, Kentucky, Verified Reviewer

After one month of working out, I lost ten pounds, 2.5 inches off of my waistline, 5 inches off of my hips, and have toned up my back, arm, butt, and leg muscles. I have more balance and energy. I love working out and watching the girls and Kelly for motivation. My daughter-in-law lost over 30 pounds and 22 inches. She told me about the Fit Board.

My advice is to listen to Gloria about taking it slow and at your own pace until you get your balance. It works. I do all six intervals, six times a week. I love, love, love the challenge and the results. Watch your diet. It doesn't make sense to workout and eat junk. Thank you Gloria Hoffman and your mom Linda. God bless you for creating something so easy but effective.

Works for me!

By Cathy, Bowling Green, KY, Verified Reviewer

I purchased the Simply Fit Board in February of 2017 and it works my core as well as my arms, hips, and legs. I truly get a full body workout. I know that some type of exercise at 55+ is better than nothing at all. I like it, and the benefits that I am getting, and will continue using my lime green Simply Fit Board.

Not at all easy as you see on commercial

By Ronnie B, Queens, NY, Verified Reviewer

I bought this Fit Board because I kept seeing the commercials and I thought to myself, this product looks easy to use and I can burn calories simply by watching TV and twisting. Boy, was I was surprised at how hard that it was. I also purchased the mat along with it because I have hardwood floors.

It was really difficult to balance on this board and move side to side without feeling or actually falling off. I also had other members of my family try out the board who are more fit and agile. They fell off the board too. I packaged this product up so quick and returned to store for a refund.

Do not purchase this. It is not as easy as they make it seems.

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

Excellent for body control

By TamariW, New Haven County, CT, Verified Reviewer

At first, when I started using this twist, and she poured, I had no clue as to where to place my feet. I kept slipping off the board or traveling unintentionally in it. Then I watched the videos on how to place the feet over the grab handles, how to rock back-and-forth on the board, and then actually do some controlled workouts. I was amazed and impressed with the versatility that the board has, and the firmness I am experiencing in my body after just a few days of workouts totaling only 10 or 15 minutes each!

My mother bought the board but she gave up after a few tries, and then she gave it to me. I explored further, and I am so glad she gave me this piece of exercise equipment. It's also so convenient and easy to store.

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

Destroyed my new floor

By Kim, Pennsylvania, Verified Reviewer

While using the Simply Fit Board, the friction of using it caused a peeling hole in my linoleum floor.

If you use this, place carpet or a mat down under it. It destroyed my new flooring!

My Simply Fit Board

By Tamra, Missouri, Verified Reviewer

I absolutely love my Simply Fit Board. I have been using it for two weeks now, and it contributed greatly to my weight loss by simply making me feel better and more active, period. It was a little tricky at first, but I have it down now. And balancing should be a part of anyone's exercise routine.

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

Love the Fit Board

By Lecia Hockenberry, Pennsylvania, Verified Reviewer

I bought the Fit Board two weeks ago. I'm 54 had two cervical spine surgeries with titanium bar put in, and a lumbar spine surgery. I quit smoking 2 and a 1/2 years ago and gained 50 lbs.

Using the Fit Board is so easy and comfortable with no strain on my spine. And I've lost 2 lbs! For the people that complain about the board moving and going in circles, take it from me, it's because your balance is off. Once you get the hang of it as I have, you will stay in one place with no problem. I love my board.

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