Hi. I thought you might like this review/rant for your site. I like my Ab Circle Pro machine alot... but it definitely has its problems. The workout itself is great. In fact it's one of the only forms of home exercise that I actually enjoy doing and look forward to. Way better than jogging on the boring treadmill. But the problem is that it is a pretty fragile, under-built machine. After only a couple of weeks of use it started to wear out quickly, especially the rollers. It kind of blows my mind that what is almost definitely the most important part of the machine and gets the most stress is constructed from such low quality material. My friend is a machinist and engineer and I'm already asking him to construct some replacement rollers for my Ab Circle because I know these ones aren't gonna last much longer. For the 250 bucks I paid for this product I expected it to last longer than 3 months. More like 3 years, at least! The company who makes and markets this product should really think about what they're doing to their reputation and standing in the marketplace. They took the time and made the effort to design a really interesting workout machine that provides a genuinely effective home fitness option. But the low quality of the materials used to make the machine greatly reduce its effectiveness, obviously. If you buy something and it starts to break down within days not only are you not going to get too many benefits out of it, you're also going to feel ripped-off and scammed. In the 2 months of limited use I've gotten out of my Ab Circle Pro I can honestly say that I've lost weight (about 8 pounds to be precise) and have definitely gotten stronger abdominal muscles, not to mention shoulder muscles since it puts so much stress on the shoulder joint! But the problem with the rollers really makes me mad, which is why I'm sending you this review. If I'm able to get some better-constructed rollers and am able to continue using the machine I'll send in another review in a few months. Please let me know if you post this on the site, thanks.
