Great design. Wish it didn't fall apart THREE TIMES!, March 18, 2011

This review is from: Gaiam Metro Gym Bag (Purple) (Sports)

I purchased this bag at a retail store, and thought I'd found the perfect bag. I used it for ten days before the fabric started tearing away from the seams on the handle, revealing white plastic foam underneath. I exchanged it at the store for an identical bag. One week later, the fabric began pulling out of an interior pocket's elastic. It seems that they didn't prepare the nylon fabric properly before sewing it to other things, and it is prone to fray right out of the seams. The size, the style, and the compartments were absolutely perfect for me, but I can't carry a bag that falls apart that quickly. I wasn't ready to give up yet, so I exchanged it for the same style in a different color. Perhaps it was a problem with one lot of bags, I thought. No such luck. The handle fabric (again) began pulling apart within five days.

With regret, I returned the third bag to the store for a refund. That was last summer. I have yet to find a bag that measures up as far as design and functionality. Unfortunately, the quality just wasn't up to par. If I hear that they've addressed the issue, then I'll purchase another in a heartbeat. Otherwise, I can't recommend it.

Not Practical Enough, June 27, 2010

Angel -

This review is from: Gaiam Metro Gym Bag (Purple) (Sports)

I wanted to love this bag. I was looking for a single bag I could take from work to the gym, and this bag seemed to fit the bill at first glance. The bag is deceptively small, though. Once you put in some running shoes and your exercise clothes, the bag is so stuffed that it is difficult to put a water bottle in side pocket. You can do it, but expect to struggle with the zipper and to fit little else inside or in the side pockets. Also, forget toting magazines or letter size papers; the tapered top means you will not get a magazine in sideways without folding it. Finally, the quality of this bag is clearly not up to par; after a couple uses, threads were fraying left and right.

LOVE this bag!, October 8, 2010

I just ordered this bag and it is perfect. I have running shoes and clothes in there right now and there is definitely more room than I anticipated, especially after reading one review. If you are looking to store maybe a whole second outfit with shoes I wouldn't recommend it, but for a typical work-to-gym bag it fits all the essentials. The color is adorable. The fabric is more slick than it looks in the picture which was a relief because I thought it was pure cotton. I definitely like the holder on the bottom for my Pilates mat. I am happily toting it to the gym today!

Great Lat Machine!, September 21, 2011

Cory -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Giant Econo Lat Machine (Misc.)

Didn't take long to put together and it easily fits under an 8' ceiling. If you have olympic weights, I would recommend buying olympic adapter sleeves so that your weights don't shake and move around. I got some 14" ones so I can also add more weight too! Buying some other attachments with different types of grips for rowing and doing other exercises is highly recommended as well. I ordered a tricep rope, a single and a double rowing handle for mine.

I do have a couple complaints:
- A square piece that more securely holds the seat post in place was missing...it was supposed to be pre-installed and it wasn't anywhere in the box (already contacted Yukon about that...)
- On the cable that runs from the lat pull down to the row pulley, there is a stupid washer that roams free on the cable! On the upper cable it is fine because it stays in place but on this row cable, it gets jammed in the row pulley! I unfortunately found this out the hard way and the washer jammed in the row pulley and proceeded to strip the row cable of it's lining! I don't see why that washer is even on the cable in the first place...I have duct taped it to the rubber ball on the end of the cable so that it doesn't go anywhere. I will eventually just cut it off.

All in all, it is a great lat machine and I look forward to using it!

Outstanding piece of Equipment, November 11, 2011

This review is from: Giant Econo Lat Machine (Misc.)

I'd give this machine 10 stars if I could. At 46 i've been weight training/power lifting all my. I've been to and used a mulituide of gyms, gym equipment & home gyms, but this simple Lat machine is the best machine for the money. It only took about 1 hr. to assemble and you could literly assemble it from the picture alone. It's incredibly stable & the slide action is smooth as silk. Shipping was extremely prompt, however the box was torn in several places (that's Fed-Ex for ya) but their was no damage or missing parts. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to improve on a more dynamic workout and increased muscle gain, without a decrease in your wallets. A+++ to IncrediBody & Yukon for such a well built machine, at a cost much lower than the competition.

Good Home Machine, August 25, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Giant Econo Lat Machine (Misc.)

I bought this model because I have a Yukon brand Half Cage which is very sturdy and I have limited space for another machine. It arrived quickly and was easy to assemble. Some of the more expensive machines might have more options but this one serves our purpose very well.

It fits easily under an 8' ceiling. All the exercises are done from the same side so it can be set against a wall.

The pulleys turn smoothly and the weights travel easily up and down the chrome pole. The plastic sleeve does not bind. The seat has a three setting height adjustment. The knee bar also has three height settings but you must pull the pad off one side and reposition the bar and then put the pad back on. Only really an issue if you are sharing the machine. The arms that hold the weights are sized for standard sized weights, not Olympics but spring clips are included. The lat and rowing bar can be stored clipped to the body of the machine so two less items on the floor.

It's a simple, basic machine that should last a long time.

Just as good as the pro version, April 24, 2010

Laura (Michigan) -

This review is from: Bosu Sport 55 cm Balance Trainer (Sports)

I was a little concerned that the cheaper version of the Bosu wouldn't be as good as the pro version that I use in physical therapy. But personally, I don't see a difference between the two. This is the cheapest price I've seen for the Bosu, pump, and DVDs. I love my Bosu!

best price if you know what you're looking for, February 17, 2010

A. Whitacre (Bay Area, CA) -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Bosu Sport 55 cm Balance Trainer (Sports)

As others have commented, the contents of the box don't really match the description. I got a pump, but no fill tip; I did not get the DVD. HOWEVER, I had a pump from my large exercise ball and an extra seal tip, and didn't need the DVD. In that case, this BOSU was half the price of another one, and I calculated that I could get along without the peripheral stuff. The BOSU itself is club quality, and was quickly pumped with my exercise ball foot pump. It did include an exercise booklet that gave me more ideas than I've gotten at my gym (where I use one of these).

so: if you really want to spend another $60 for a pump you already have, and a DVD you don't use, get one of the other products.
as an aside -- this was shipped in an ENORMOUS box, but on Amazon Prime, that didn't matter to me.

SunnyCrazyFitMassager...Absolutely Great Value!!!, October 24, 2011

R. Henry (AZ) -

This review is from: Sunny Crazy Fit Massager (Misc.)

Fast delivery and in perfect condition!
Had it up and running in under 45minutes.
If I had to say something negative it would be lack of photos of examples of different uses.
Even videos would be nice. I did go to utube and got many videos for what I was interested in, and
that was abs!! Had this over a month and I am very happy....use it at least twice a day 3 days a week.
I recommend it!!
