 Easy and pleasant to use. Feb 08, 2008
By Love Good Service
"Love Online Shopping"
This little lounger is a great way to exercise and watch t.v. or listen to music. It is the BEST way to do painless (even COMFORTABLE)sit-ups. I even use it as an inversion table in the reverse-stretch position. I paid $150. for this, including shipping and was really disappointed to find it at the local Linens and Things for 79.99. I'm not so young, and the idea of disassembling,packing and returning was just too much for me. I must also say...it was heck to assemble. I did it in a couple of sittings. BUT WORTH IT ! You won't be sorry. Wish that it came in choices of colors and base designs. I'd love to have it as a permanent fixture in my living room. To make it look a little "homier" , I added a faux lamb's rug to cover the seat. Also makes for warm, soft, cozy exercising.

 Good Product, but takes up too much room Jan 12, 2010
By Ace-Reviewer"Tom"
I have owned this product for about 18 months and use it at least 3 times a week. It provides very good results overall - I especially like the fact that you can stretch back (bowing your body)and then curl up to complete the crunch. Shifting positions allows you to target different abdominal muscles. Only real gripe (and hence the 4 stars)is the unit takes up a lot of room and can not be folded for storage.

 A rip-off over time Apr 06, 2010
By R. Yearout
The AB Lounge Sport (along with all the other Ab Loungers) seems a good deal for a well-built piece of equipment at first, but as soon as the canvase wears out or gets a tear or rip in it, it becomes nothing but landfill for you! The canvas is NOT replaceable and if you talk to anyone at the manufacturers phone number they will treat you rudely and tell you all about their 90 day warranty for it...they will not let you talk to anyone other than whoever happened to answer the phone about it....they will offer up the excuse that it is built in China and they don't actually manufacture it themselves...but they will not take responsibility for the fact that it is designed this way by them...this machine is designed to be thrown away when the canvas fails and they only want you to buy another one!! In the long run you will be disappointed when this happens! I was prepared to purchase another one if I could not replace the canvas, until the way I was treated on the phone by two seperate employees of the company! I urge you to NOT buy one of these products!

Great prouct - lousy name Jul 19, 2010
By Harmony
I use the ab-lounge everyday, multiple times without fail. But I call it the 'back-stretcherizer'. It is not the best use of space if you are going for an ab machine only. If you are perfectly strong and healthy, it might feel like too much contraption and not enough action. Not everybody is used to the reverse-kind of ab crunch that this machine offers. You push backwards quickly, then slowly let the chair return to normal position by letting your core strength hold back the spring. It takes a little more patience than a normal, forward-crunching machine.
But if you have stiff and painful hips, back, shoulders, etc. this unit will strengthen and stretch you like nothing I have ever used. If you stretch all the way back, you can actually grab the back leg/support of the unit and complete a back-bend walk-over - no kidding - something I thought I would never do again after my hip injuries.
I used to use an 'inverta-bod' for the exercises I do on the ab lounge. But this is so much better. Not only because of the walk-over bonus, but also because when not in use as an exerciser, it makes a fine patio chair. While lounging out on the chair, hey, why not do some stretching and strengthening. I do everyday.
So bottom line... this is way more than an ab machine, so if all you want is power to the abs, maybe not the best for you. But if you want to recondition a body that's sore from always leaning forward, pulling forward, and generally getting stiff from too much computer, etc. you will not regret having this unit.

good workout - wish it folded up Mar 30, 2009
By Jodi Kuhar
"jodirocks"
This is a great workout and it has been very easy and comfortable to use. Set up and assembly was a little difficult and took about an hour and a half. It is way bigger than i thought, so i would definitely recommend you have quite a bit of space to store it. I was disappointed that this model did not fold up, i was counting on that for easy storage. instead its out all the time, luckily we had the space.
