Ab Rocket Twister

Don't buy it for its advertised values! – It keeps my back loose by the way it lets me move with the resistance of pool water. But I can watch videos at the same time. Perfect. Words words words to make up 30 words. Wonderful. Show details

Assembled wrong, doesn't support back or neck as claimed useless – Useless, doesn't do what advertised, no support on back, put together wrong when i got it had to oull apart dont waste your money! Wish i had of read reviews first Show details

Gimmick. Poor product that claims more than it delivers – AB Rocket Twister, not a copy. The best excercise you get is in the assembly. Essentially a sit up device that makes it easy by having the springs do the work. Gravity for reclining, springs for getting up again. Little difference between the 3 spring tensions. Seat twisting has no resistance and is useless as part of an excercise program.… Read more

Seat is not locked in so tends to fall off when carrying the device. Locking pin also falls out.

Next best excercise is when you throw it out.

AB Rocket Twister, not a copy.

From my engineering background it doesn't work.

Let down – I recently bought this item thinking how fabulous it would be, 3 lots of resistance bands, tried each level of resistance and the black being the most resistance was no better than the other two, I found the resistance non existent in the whole three and all assembly was correct

Poor quality – I was following the Dvd and in the middle of My work out my ab twister broke on the spring plastic roller extremely disappointed and will be taking this further

Not a useless piece of rubbish after all - – This is a follow up to my review of the Ab Rocket Twister titled 'Useless piece of rubbish!!!'. After receiving a comment from the TV Shop and someone called 'Ray' suggesting that the Ab Rocket Twister I'd gotten via ebay was a counterfeit I contacted the TV Shop and got an Ab Rocket Twister from them and it's not a useless piece of rubbish and it… Read more

seems that the Ab Rocket Twister I bought via ebay was indeed a shady one; the Ab Rocket Twister that I got from the TV Shop doesn't lift off the ground when rocking back and therefore allows me to do the exercise(s) properly. In my original review I didn't mention the rep clicker on the Ab Rocket Twister that I bought via ebay not working; unlike that Ab Rocket Twister the rep clicker on the TV Shop's Ab Rocket Twister actually works. But still the back rest/rollers aren't as wide as the Ab Rocket Twister's that they use on the infomercial(s); after contacting the TV Shop the lady I spoke with denied it...well, either it's true or I'm seeing things. I've noticed this with buying products from television; they can be 'watered down' e.g. I bought an 'Ab King Pro' in late 2008 and it wasn't as good as what they showed on television. Another thing that I don't like about the Ab Rocket Twister that I got from the TV Shop is that when the pin's in place (to stop the seat from swivelling) the seat is off centre i.e. it doesn't sit squarely in the middle; it's a minor thing, but it adds to my theory that what they show on television can be better than what you actually get. However, when I bought my Ab Rocket Twister from the TV Shop I got a second one free (plus a free StoneDine fry pan); I haven't opened my second Ab Rocket Twister from the TV Shop yet so maybe the seat not sitting dead set in the middle when the pin's in place is just a one off. Interestingly though with the Ab Rocket Twister that I bought via ebay; when the pin's in place the seat DOES sit squarely in the middle. And Ray while I appreciate your comments I disagree about items from television etc., necessarily being superior to what's selling on ebay; I buy Wen cleansing conditioners via ebay and they're actually better than the Wen that's sold from the official Australian website because the Wen that I buy via ebay gets shipped from the USA and it's the same ingredients as in the Wen that they sell at the Chaz Dean studio in Los Angeles (who won't sell to me because I'm in Australia). See, the ingredients in the Wen on the official Australian website/the Wen that I used to buy from television aren't as good as the ingredients in the Wen from the USA that I buy via ebay. And buying Wen via ebay allows me to purchase a wider variety of Wen's than what's available from television/the official Australian website. And there's another other product that I buy via ebay where it costs me less than if I were to buy from the official website and as far as I can tell I'm getting exactly the same thing. Anyway, back to the Ab Rocket Twister from the TV Shop; verdict: it's okay; it makes sit up's and crunches etc., easier, but it's not magic either; sometimes when I'm rocking back and forth I don't feel any abdominal benefit or the effect on my abs is very subtle, almost non existent so I have to focus on my abs and or shuffle around until I find a position where I can feel my abs working. Anyway, don't think that just because you get an Ab Rocket Twister you're automatically going to get toned, sexy abs...it doesn't work like that; you have to overcome laziness and sit down and actually do the work and put your mind to it and possibly shuffle around until you find a position where you can feel your abs working and be consistent and persistent with the exercise(s) and be diet conscious etc...then you might get the desired result.

Good workout and starting to see results – Bought the Ab Seat rocket twister similar to the as-seen-on tv product. No problems with the qualtiy and the seat is very padded so it's very comfortable. In terms of results I have seen an increase in definition around the abs. Slowly I have been able to increase up to the top resistance level. A great alternative to regular sit-ups and… Read more ·  1
