Pro Form Abs Bench Review
The Pro Form Abs Bench promises to “give you a three-in-one shaping and toning workout that will help sculpt your core muscles.” The Pro Form Abs Bench caters to those people who are sick of doing crunches (who isn’t?). In reality, the Pro Form Abs Bench is an above average product but probably not the miracle machine it touts itself up to be.
Does the Pro Forms Abs Bench work?
The Pro Form Abs Bench is especially effective for people with sore backs. It does a great job at aligning and supporting the spine. The bench helps isolate the abdominal muscles. It also will give a solid cardiovascular workout.
Other than this, the Pro Form Abs Bench doesn’t have a lot that separates itself from the pack.
If you are not a coordinated person, the Pro Form bench exercises might be difficult to learn. But they can be learned over time.
Backed by Science?
The Pro Form website cites a lab test done on the Abs Bench. The Ab Bench’s muscle activity is compared to several other ab machines and traditional exercises. The results look promising but we would like to see other independent studies before we buy into it.
How much is the Pro Form Abs Bench?
The Pro Form Abs Bench can be purchased for $149.99. Not exactly the cheapest ab machine on the market but not the most expensive either.
Also available for purchase are warranty options. The warranties vary from 1-5 years and $59.99 to $289.99. Just the fact that there are warranty options is a red flag for Abs Bench. Ab machines break occasionally, but the quality should be high enough that you do not need to pay for a warranty especially if you pay for $149.99 for the product.
Bonus Material with the Pro Form Abs Bench
The Pro Form Abs Bench comes with a workout DVD and nutritional guide. The workout DVD is impressive. It comes with exercises to use with the bench for three different skill levels.
The nutritional guide was put together by Heather Guymon and is nothing special.
Is there a money back guarantee?
There is a 30 day money back guarantee with a 10 percent restocking fee. Including shipping the restocking fee will end up costing you over $30. A 30 days money back guarantee is better than nothing, but we would like to see a longer guarantee. 30 days is hardly enough time to be able to judge a product’s effectiveness.
Customer Reviews for Pro Form Abs Bench
The customer reviews for the the Pro Form Abs Bench have been mixed. Some people love it, others find it to be a waste of money.
Is the Pro Form Abs Bench worth purchasing?
The Abs Bench is good but not great. If you have back problems, the Pro Form Abs Bench is a good pick. If not, there are better ab machines out there.
