Hurts the arms…

This product is ok… you need to wear a long sleeved shirt because it does hurt your arms a bit.

seems like a good idea

I dunno if it’s just me but when i position my arm using this thing on the pull up bar as it is shown in the picture, blood circulation to the arm goes down so my arm feels numb. I couldnt stay on this thing for long enough to get a good workout.

Decent Ab Straps
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
These ab straps are decent and does the job but could have used a little more padding to make it more comfortable. Overall good and will hopefully last a long time.

Never received the “free” Ab Straps.
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I mailed a check to cover the postage for the free Ab Straps in January 2009 the check was cashed, but to date I have not received the Ab Straps. Contacting the company hasn’t made any impact on the situation. I’ll not make another purchase from Pro Fit.

My actual rating is -0-

So easy to use and probably the best exercise for Abs.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This product is Great, just hook it up and go. If you have the Iron Gym this is a must have. You can work all sides of the ab area.

There are better ab workouts
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Firstly, it is kind of disappointing that the Iron Gym workout bar didn’t initially come with these and that I had to make a separate purchase to get them, but that’s in the past, and now I have the bar and the ab straps, so moving along… The Iron Gym workout bar is firstly a great workout tool in itself. The way it installs in seconds, and the varying grip positions make it great for chin ups, as well as push-ups when used on the floor. I can get the result of doing 25 normal pushups by just doing 15 deep ones. About the only thing it falls short on is doing dips, and of course the ab straps. I normally do crunches on a Pezzi Ball. I tried the Iron Gym ab straps and wasn’t all that impressed. Don’t get me wrong, it is a semi-decent ab workout and the price isn’t bad even just to try, but I noticed before I got to the point my abs were feeling really worked, my arms were feeling numb and tingling just holding myself up. And this is the problem, limiting reps. After 25 slow leg lifts, I just gotta let go.

Good buy
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Definitely a good purchase and your abs will thank you. It took me a while to figure how to use it, since I’m short and I need a chair to do the abs on the pull up bar. But I figured it out and I recommend it to anyone.

works very well
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
straps are a little bulky but comfortable. Velcro appears stable but it would be nice if there were metal clips. easy to change orientation of straps.

i like it
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
i bought the iron gym and its a very good product. the ab straps make the product complete. they’re a good way to stretch and work your abs. its better than laying on the ground and not getting the full workout from bending your legs back. if you got the iron gym you should get the ab straps. dont know why they dont come with the pull up bar. obviously to get some more money, but its worth it.

Good
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
When I first tried the ab straps with the iron gym I was a little nervous because they didn’t seem all that sturdy. They held up well under my weight (~180 lbs.) however. They work pretty well once you are comfortable with putting your faith in the fact that they will hold you. They allow for good range of motion with various ab exercises without sliding around on the bar. They aren’t the most comfortable ab straps in the world (the padding doesn’t seem all that flexible to fit to the shape of your arm), but this may just be that I haven’t had a chance to break them in thoroughly yet. I wouldn’t recommend using these as your primary means for working your core, but overall, a good but not great product that serves its role in providing a supplementary set of ab exercises.

Good Idea, Bad Sewing
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
It works like it is suppose to, but the quality of the stitching is poor. After using it only once, I began to see the threading on the edge begin to fray and come apart. Just make sure you get a good stitched one and you will be fine.
