The actual item looks good and the idea is great, but we were really disapointed with the quality of how it works. It comes with 4 different tension springs from lightest tension to hardest tension, and there clearly just is not enough tension in the springs to accomodate it. we are pretty much normal size people and when you go to " rock " backwards it should hold you so that it rocks back smooth. we used the hardest tension adjustment and it still dosnt hold you, it just goes straight back down. So we returned ours and waiting for a refund. you might want to try the AB LOUNGE SPORT which is supposed to offer a better complete Range of Motion. That is what we are going to try next & the price is a bit cheaper. (seen on sale for $79.00 at kmart website)hope this helps!

Yes, after putting together this apparatus I found that when I went to use it with the strongest tension spring that it was not enough tension there to keep me from falling all the way down so that I was flat on the floor----you need stronger tension springs----at this point I find this ab rocket unusable....
 Works, but not worth the $ January 1, 2008

I've had worse ab products, but I don't think it's worth the money! It's equivalent to a rocking chair. The resistance isn't very good at all, and it takes forever to put the highest resistance band on. Bottom line, save your money, this product is way over priced!

THE FIRST TIME I SAW THE INFOMERCIAL ON THIS AB ROCKET PRODUCT I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. I'VE ALWAYS TRIED TO DO SIT UPS BUT I AM JUST SO LAZY SO BY BUYING TH AB ROCKET AND PLACING IT RIGHT BY MY BED I CAN NOW DO SIT UPS RIGHT BEFORE I GO TO BED AND RIGHT WHEN I GET UP IN THE MORNING. I HAVE BEEN USING THE AB ROCKET FOR TWO WEEKS NOW AND I REALLY FEEL IT IN MY LOWER ABS. I ALSO PURCHASED THE AB ROCKET FLEXMASTER THAT THEY HAD AVAILABLE WHEN I CALLED IN AND I LOVE THAT TOO. IT'S GREAT FOR ARM AND LEG MUSCLES. THANK YOU AB ROCKET!!!

My husband wanted the ab rocket to help with his middle age "spare tire". I was more than happy to order it for him. It was reasonably simple to assemble and it ended up in the middle of the living room floor in front of the TV. It turned out our son and I always use it too, just cause it there, and it's fun. I'm one who never did sit ups because I could never keep my neck and shoulders in the right position. The ab rocket supports the neck and has handles to help pull up until you get those ab muscle strong enough to do it on their own. I'd also like to comment on the springs... I have seen reviews where folks were disappointed because the springs provided very little "resistance". I was under the impression that the spring with the most tension was there as a aid for the beginner & really out of shape (like me) and the more muscle you build in the abs the lighter the spring you would use... Anyway, our family has found the ab rocket a fun way to firm up our "core".
