I power lift on these mats, I purchased two and set one at either side of me and stand in-between them, they are great, protect my concrete and protect my bumpers, I love them. They are not cushions however, they have almost no give, it is a very hard surface.

Super thick, super tuff rubber mats, October 18, 2010

This review is from: Maxx-Tuff, Rubber Floor Protection Mat 12mm thick (Misc.)

I bought these mats for my police K-9 to use in his kennel area and as a tuff but soft mat for the rear of the patrol vehicle. These mats have held up thus far and seem to be well worth the money. Super thick and durable, I would buy from this company again.Maxx-Tuff, Rubber Floor Protection Mat 12mm thick

Can Give An Excellent Workout., January 30, 2010

Gary Peterson (San Diego, California USA) -

This review is from: Sunny Health & Fitness 40" Foldable Trampoline (Health and Beauty)

I've used these mini-trampolines for many years since the mid-80s. The first ones were really expensive, but these newer ones are quite reasonable and of better quality. I typically use them for dancing. I put on some good vigorous music and then dance on the trampoline. It gives a good cardio workout and you can adjust the vigor of the workout to whatever you can take. Alternatively, I jog in place, and I usually do it to music. Most of my workouts these days are not over a half hour, but in the past I've worked out for over two hours at a time. I might add that I have been a runner throughout most of this time period and I use the trampoline mainly at times when I'm injured or during foul weather. They can give an excellent workout, almost as good as running.

Expect the trampoline to be an expendable piece of equipment that will wear out. Mine have always given out at the springs and, when they do, it's probably best to just replace the entire trampoline. If one spring has broken, then all others probably aren't too far from it. This particular brand and model also comes with a little hand rail. Well, I just took mine off and have never used it. Think twice before spending the extra money to get it. My only complaint with mini-trampolines is that they tend to be somewhat harsh on my relatively weak ankles, but I've had no other physical problems.

I just got this item. It was a pain to put together and one of the legs had no threads on it and was unusable. There is no way to contact the company to just replace the leg and it's a total pain to have to go to the hassle to return this item. I can't get the latch to unlock so I can refold it. Piece of junk.

Easy to set up. Some of the rubber caps on the legs were on the wrong end and I had to switch them to get the legs to screw on. Otherwise--my kids have been jumping on it all day--no problems!

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

DANNY BIGGERS (Morristown, Tennessee... USA) -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

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

Bruce Rhodes -

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.
