PRO-FORM Abs
There are many ab machines out there that promise a “more comfortable” and “more effective” method than the standard floor mat crunches. The obvious trend across hundreds of reviews online is that there isn’t really one perfect machine for everyone. Some people swear by a machine, while others decry it as a scam. PRO-FORM Abs is no exception to this rule, as there are both enthusiastic supporters and disappointed buyers. It’s up to you to find what works best for you, personally.
There aren’t many reviews for this abdominal muscle exercise bench, but there are a few positive remarks to be found. Renee from Tennessee suggests one of the benefits of the PRO-FORM Abs machine is that “it’s much more comfortable than doing crunches on the floor.” As a college student, she says it’s also easy to fold up and store in her apartment, although her roommates often find it and use it too. Judy from New Mexico agrees that she likes the lightweight portability of her bench, although she says the Tony Little Ab Lounge is still her favorite workout bench. Users ranked the construction as “sturdy and durable” as well.
Not everyone was pleased with their PRO-FORM Abs experience. Some people remark that the machine was uncomfortable on their backs, elbows and necks. Generally, they say that the abdominal muscles do feel like they’ve been worked out, but overall they are still dissatisfied with the product. One reviewer went so far as to recommend the basic floor mat for achieving flat abs. On the other hand, the similar Pro-Form Coremaster Machine got slightly better reviews, with customers saying, “It’s impossible to have improper form with this bench” and that they were “pleasantly surprised by the results.”
