Honestly Speaking

I’m on the fence as to how to rate this product. #1) It kind of seems like a cheap plastic toy. But #2) it does actually work my leg muscles in a way that no other exercise equipment I have does.So everything about this product seems to me like the cheapest they could make it. The non-slip mat they provided, although thoughtful of them, is about the quality of a dollar store item. The handle they provided, again very thoughtful, seems like it came from some other product and they just threw it in – it’s a standalone bar, not connected to the leg stretcher, and it’s even a different color. Very odd. But it is adjustable in height, and I definitely needed to hold onto something while using this. I found the edge of a countertop felt more stable for me.The leg stretcher itself is lightweight hollow plastic, and yet they claim it can support 330 pounds – I don’t know, maybe that’s true, but it’s surprising. It does fold up compactly when I’m not using it, which is helpful. The wheels under the footpads are small and also plastic, so I’m rolling plastic on plastic, which isn’t very smooth. And the mechanism by which the footpads slide is a single thin bungee cord with loops on each end. If that weakest link breaks, the whole machine becomes worthless. The footpads have a non-slip texture by way of little nubbies that hurt my bare feet – so make sure to wear shoes with this.Now, putting all that aside, once I get my legs moving on this – whether sliding from side to side like a skater, or pushing out and pulling back in – it really does work all of my leg and butt muscles like nothing else I have. Not even my thigh master type of exerciser works my inner thighs like this machine does. It’s really amazingly effective. So much so, that I can’t even do it for very long because my legs aren’t strong enough to handle it yet. I will need to work up to it! So this really does have the potential to strengthen my leg and hip and butt muscles and I imagine if I used it every day (if it worked well), my legs would become more shapely.If this was just made with better quality materials, with robust, durable sliding mechanisms and metal wheels that could be lubricated to really slide without any friction – then I would love this! The concept is nice, but the design really needs to be re-engineered.

The stabilizing bar is a nice addition to this portable leg stretcher equipment. You can feel the burn to the inner and outer thigh areas almost immediately! There are 4 pads provided but 12 spaces that indicate they could be placed. I placed ours in the middle section of both sides. I did that to support the middle as you stretch across it. The elastic cord to attach to the foot pads is really thick and attached with ease. It does not fold flat because the elastic cord is in place. When the machine is closed, there's about a 4 inch opening, it's not like the pics where the foot pads are side by side, in that pic they must have detached the elastic cord from at least 1 of the foot pads. The cord causes the foot pads to overlap each other and keeps the device open about 4 inches, no big deal. I feel like the provided mat might get torn up in time, but hopefully, I'm wrong, and we'll find out by getting lots and lots of use out of it. I was thinking I could always replace it with one of the old yoga mats if it does tear up. I do think that the material and construction are solid and sturdy, I don't think this will be falling apart anytime soon. All the best & God bless.

If you're looking to enhance your flexibility and get a good stretch, this split machine and leg stretcher is a fantastic option, especially for a home gym or for staying in shape while traveling. Its compact design makes it easy to store and transport, which is a huge plus. I will say, the construction feels a bit on the cheaper side, but considering the price point, it's pretty much what I anticipated. Despite that, I've genuinely enjoyed incorporating this into my fitness routine. It's been super helpful in improving my hip flexibility and overall body slimming. It was very easy to assemble. And it is very functionable. If you're seeking an affordable and convenient way to stretch and work towards achieving those splits, this equipment is definitely worth considering!
