This is a great machine! After having four back operations I have found regular exercise difficult! The chair gym changes that! Is is easy to use and learn. I use it 3-4 times a week and feel the difference that it is making for me. I love it!
I must admit that I had my reservations when I ordered the Gym Chair. I am 5'9, 155 lbs, I jog 5K 3 times a week and lift weights twice a week. So I felt that the work out might be too easy. The first day I did the 15 minute work out and I still felt unsure. Two days later I decided to try the 45 minute complete workout and was very happy afterwards. The double resistance was great for the legs and the black resistance was more than enough for the arms. For people who are fit I would still advise them to get their "main course" in the form of jogging and real weights, but the chair is definitely a good "side dish".
The gym chair is shipped mostly assembled. All you need to do is attach the back to the chair and secure it with a screw on each side and attached the pulleys one on each side of the chair. Tools are included and directions are very clear - do follow the directions. The chair is comfortable, easy to fold and open and wheel around or pick up (light weight). I've been using it every day for the past 7 days. At first, pulling the bands from behind felt uncomfortable, but after a few times, you find a comfortable way to maneuver the bands. I have my chair constantly in plain view and I take the time to do at least 10 min workout everyday. Once I get started, it doesn't feel like a chore. This chair gym makes exercising so easy so much fun that I don't want to stop once I get started. What I mean by "easy" is that it doesn't feel like a chore as when you do freelance exercises, you usually have to break and move onto the next exercise etc. Whereas with this chair, the bands are ready for whichever exercise you want to do. When switching from upper to lower workout, takes maybe 10 seconds to move the handles from top to clip to the bottom of the pulley and you're all set to go. There are so many diversified exercises that can be done on this chair, that I can't see how I can get bored with it like other equipment I've purchased and are now collecting dust. As I exercise, everything flows from one exercise to the next. I'm very happy with this purchase! If you are sendentary, as I have been lately, you definitely need to get this! Did I mention I use it more than once per day? It has increased my energy level.
The chair gym works great! I have terrible arthritis so walking or riding a bike is out of the question. With this chair gym I am able to do the exercises shown on the DVD!
I was so happy because I received it sooner than I expected. It was in the original box and then placed inside another so very well protected. It was easy to put together (thanks to my husband) BUT I thought it came with a total of 4 handles. Two for the upper half and two for the lower. It only came with straps for the lower. As I read the instruction book it became clear. The handles are easily removed and put in the slots at the bottom, so it's all good.
I am unable to exercise in terms of lunges or squats, due to knee problems. When I saw this product on T.V. I became very excited because it could replace all the exercise equipment I have and make excuses for not utilizing them or I am utilizing them as clothes hangers. This is an Innovative product because it can effect a change in my own quality of life. The Chair Gym was easy to put together. I feel it can strengthen my legs and arms and it will also serve as a motivator to use other exercise options to achieve weight loss.
I love it., was easy to set up , easy storage . Used properly u feel the burn of the workout . I was worried I wouldn't sweat since I am sitting through most of the workouts . But I did sweat and it's helpful for my arthritis pain so I can strengthen the muscles without all the high impact activity . Recommend it for people with aches and pains but need to build up slowly their strength .
Pros: Order came quick. Easy to assemble, about 10 - 15 minutes. Simple to use and has an extensive set of exercises you can do. Sets up easily and can be put away easily. Even the kids like it. Doesn't take up that much room while in use or in storage. Cons: Nothing really yet. Sort of wondering how long tension bans will last. Look like they will fray too easily. Price. Other than that, just getting it out to use it. Not sure how fit you can get using it, but it does work out the arms and legs pretty good.
the setup instructions state that the pulley assembly is placed on the chair, then turned to the front of the chair and it is supposed to click and lock in. It doesn't. there is nothing in the pulley that would allow it to click in. I think something is missing. Even though it doesn't click in place it still works. The phone number to call for assistance in the assembling of the chair gym is incorrect.
The Chair Gym was very easy to set up, only took a few minutes & I'm 58. Have been using it for about 2 weeks & have noticed my muscle tone is improving, not so much "jiggle" as before. My only complaint is that one of the grey bands is stretched out (loose) more than it should be, so I feel like both sides aren't being exercised equally. Don't know what to do about this problem though. Over-all, I'm happy with this product.
