Ab Rocket Twister – Mixed Reviews

by 10 Comments

While watching an infomercials I saw yet another ab machine.  Like many, they make huge promises, and have awesome weight loss stories to back up their product.  However, people don’t want to know what the infomercial promises, they want to know what people are saying on the web, in the supermarket, at the bank, and in the real world.  To our surprise,  fellow fitness enthusiast and reality star  Rebecca Cardon  (from “Workout), was promoting this product.  Here is what others have to say about this product online.

“The Ab Rocket Twister allows you to rock back and forth and twist from side to side to exercise your abdominal and core muscles. The twisting motion is designed to tone your love handles and strengthen the obliques. The infomercial says that using it is as easy as sitting in a rocking chair and that the product’s soft rollers give you a back massage as you do yourworkout. That is probably debatable but we’ll see what people think as more Ab Rocket Twister reviews come rolling in (source).”

I just received my ab rocket twister today. I heard reviews that the ab rocket original is poorly constructed. The twister on the other hand seems to be pretty strong. Make sure you use two tension coils on either side to increase the resistance. The twisting part really burns your abs after you have done sit ups for a while. I think it’s a pretty good machine.

warning: this thing is not made for big people. i bought it and have only been able to use it 3 times because it’s so uncomfortable. it also gives you very little support if you’re heavy like me. i might give it another try after i lose some weight but i also might just return it!

After waiting for weeks I finally got my Ab Rocket Twister a couple of days ago. I REALLY like it so far. Unlike most of the exercise equipment and fitness infomercial gadgets I own I can actually see myself using the thing on a daily basis. It really works the abdominal muscles well and the twisting action gets all your core muscles involved. It’s not easy but it’s definitely not as hard as doing plain old crunches!

I ordered the Ab Rocket and was happy when it came….. Til I started using it. The seat sits on a small post, so when I sit on it and begin my workout, it feels as though the seat is going to break, or fall off. It doesn’t click with every sit up like they said it would. The springs are not strong enough… I mean I know im a big girl but, really the springs need to be more resistant. Other then that, the equipment is ok. Now, when I called to tell them they told me I had to pay for the shipping…. If I just paid for the trial of 30 days, and I only had it for 17hours why should I have to pay??? The shipping total was $34, why in the heck would I pay that?? The lady said she put in a replacement order….. why am I still waiting for it to come, yet they are taking my money out of my account. smh!!!

hi i just wanted to say that i’ve been using the new ab rocket twister for almost 2 weeks now and i pretty much like it            so far. i’d give it a 7 out of 10 in terms of giving you a good ab workout at home. the twisting action takes some                        getting used to and to be honest i don’t think i’ll use it much but the ab-rocking motion is definitely effective. and to              the person below: if you don’t know how to use such a simple machine just by looking at it you should probably stop            trying to using any exercise equipment period!

Don’t buy it. It was a waste of time and money. I tried to ab rocket twister and paid the 14.95 trial offer. When I                       received it, I only got one DVD-extreme workout session (why they would send this instead of the 4 dvd’s they said             would come with it). When I called to to return, the rep said that I had to pay for the return and that the 14.95 was               not refundable. I haven’t shipped it yet, but I know it’s going to be expensive. The reason why I’m return this                           product is because I could not get comfortable sitting in it. There were no proper instructions as to how one should             be using the machine. Maybe it was on one of the dvd’s I didn’t get…

It seems as though the Ab Rocket Twister has gotten some mixed reviews.  While some reviews were positive, others were negative.  A common theme among many was the comfort of the product.  One of the main selling points on the infomercial was that you could “get a back massage” as you preformed your routine.  Yet, these people claim that it’s poorly constructed and wasn’t what they expected.

It’s always a good idea to find reviews on products before you buy them.  Infomercials were made to SELL, SELL, SELL!  They have perfected the art of appeal.  Invest your money wisely and check our site and others to get your answers before you buy.

  1. i never used the ab rocket twister but im only 10 and i weight 156 pounds and i wanted to know if i should use it im in 5th grade and i want 2 be slim 4 graduation so i can wear a pretty dress!plz give me some advice i really want 2 know if i should buy the ab rocket twister thanks!

  2. Mariah, Thank you for writing in! The best way to fit into that awesome dress for graduation is to cut down on unhealthy foods and increase your activity. The Ab rocket will help burn calories but in my experience the best way to lose weight is to change how you eat. Then add in the exercise so that you can burn even more calories. Try to cut down and cut out all friend foods, sodas, candy, chips. Focus on eating more fruits, vegetables and protein. I hope this helps :)

  3. hi,i am nadia khan from pakistan my weight 56 but i wanna shape up my body. I never used the ab rocket twister but how i can buy it or order plz help me for that. thanks,

  5. G'day! This machine is worthless very cheap made, it's not what you aspect to experience with what you seen in the advertisements. This product feels like a scam, half these fit actors/actress are paid to bullshit when the camera's are rolling and that's where they roll your money. Don't bother purchasing this product especially for those who are heavier weight it won't do you justice. I should of saved for a Ab Coaster.

  6. I"m a 41yo man that has tried to stay fit and has worked out off and on ever since I was a teen. I'm '5-9' and I weigh arond 195 lbs.with a pretty muscular buld except for my stomach area. though i do not have a big beer belly or anything, I do need to tighten that area up. I bought an Ab rocket twister last week,and to be very honest I have to say it is no were near what it is cracked up to be.The back rest is way too short even when fully extended, the so called roller on the back of the seat do not do what they claim they do, the whole device is too small & too light in weight so it slides & rocks up when your using it, the resistance bands (even the highest) do not provied a fraction of the resistance it needs to in order to be effective, and using this thing is very awkward. Now I have bought exercise machanes and devices in the past, but to date none are as lousy as this one. So to be blunt the ab rocket twister is an over priced peice of crap. Save your money and do regular sit ups, sisors, & crunches for free !!!

  7. We purchased the AB Twister just two weeks ago. The appearance of it looked fairly good but goes somewhat down hill after that. It is made of low quality steel tubing. It was never welded in a jig because it rocks diagonally; this was easily fixed by gluing rubber washers over the existing ones. The grab handles which are cheaply attached and wobble around can be fixed by putting nuts and bolts through the tubing. The very poorly fitting seat will not last another month, the rubber bush that the seat passes through, is just wearing away on a daily basis. The seat itself is to far forward and will almost certainly cause lower back problems. The different tension springs we think, will be of no use whatsoever. The most dangerous thing that has happened is, on leaning backwards there was an almighty crack on the tiled floor, that was my own head hitting it. The reason was that, whoever assembled it in the first place, stripped most of the threads that secure the so called massage sponges, the top sponge flipped out allowing my head to pass straight through so thank you to that person. I had to drill a hole through the plastic insert, which by the way is very difficult if you are not mechanically minded as I am, and pass through a threaded steel rod and secure this at both ends with lock nuts. Not sure who designed this machine but he or she was not very mechanically minded. Rod.
