The Hype:
The Ab Circle Pro claims that using it will burn fat whilst trimming and toning your abs, buns, hips and thighs, with results guaranteed. You get the machine itself, a nutritional guide and instructional DVD lasting three minutes; there are optional extras, including a calorie-counter. The Ab Circle Pro boasts different levels of resistance to cater for all fitness levels, and it sells itself as a treadmill for your abs, combining the fat-burning benefits of cardio work with specific toning of the stomach and waist areas.
The Ab Circle Pro costs around $200 and there is a shipping and handling charge of $34.95 (Steep!). The company also offer a $14.95 30 day trial offer and a guarantee that you can send it back if you don’t get results.
So what are users really saying about the Ab Circle Pro? Read on and find out!
Pros:
People saw visible results within a month, with waistlines shrinking and buns and thighs feeling more toned. Shoulders and arms were also worked, due to the positioning on the machine, and several users also commented that their backs felt stronger.
The Ab Circle Pro was easy to set up and store, and didn’t take up a lot of room.
Cons:
Customer service left a lot to be desired for many clients, and sending it back and getting a refund took some effort!
A number of users stated that the pads made their knees sore, but admitted that wearing kneepads solved this problem.
There were grumbles about the build quality of the machine, with the paint starting to come off with constant heavy use. The rollers also squeaked, but an application of oil helped.
To Buy or Not to Buy?
The general consensus seems to be that the Ab Circle Pro is a useful addition to any weight loss programme when combined with a reduced calorie diet and other types of exercise. It will add a bit of variety to your workouts, but used on its own is not enough and it looks like the machine will not stand up to constant heavy use! It has to be said that the ad does recommend you do other kinds of exercise as well and use the Ab Circle Pro for 3 minutes a day.

It appears that the lighter people weighing in at 160 pounds or less have postive things to say about the machine, but heavier people are finding that it wears out quickly.
I purchased my Ab-Circle pro at K-mart I was so excited because I didn’t have to wait for it to come by mail. Well, I put it together fairly easy> Started to use it and after about 2 days 10-15 mins each day, the paint started to peel off and the wheels ended up with divets in them which made the machine glide very rough. I took it back to Kmart and replaced it for another machine. Then once again this began to happen with the second machine so i just gave up and brought it back as well and decieded that it was time for my money back and now am very happy with an elliptical machine instead. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
its good and you can see the results within 3 weeks and apart from the uncomfortness of the knee pads witch you can resolve apart from that every thingis fine and does the write job and can children use it
I love this machine! The comments about the paint…it’s common sense that it will get some wear and tear(I haven’t had any problems) I use it 15 min or more almost everyday. I just started working out less than a month ago and I am already seeing major results! I was a size 14 and now i’m a 10
Ab circle is not up to the matk it is light weight machine and it moves while working out. which is not a good sign. I hve been using this product. it has worked a little only and its knee bowles has come lot of cracks.so i dont advise fro this product.
I love my ab circle pro I have had mine for three months.
The results have been great as I have followed the diet and my six pack is reall\y starting to show.
The V2 seems to be built a lot stronger than the original and touch wood I have not had any issues yet.
In the short time I have been using the Ab Circle I could really see results fast!!!
I recomended the Ab Circle to all my friends
I gained 25kg with my pregnancy and lost 18 already
I bought my ABCIRCLE DELUXE V3 from the tv shop for $400 and with in 3 weeks of working fine the rollers started to perish slightly on the rolling part, making it harder to glide smoothly and hard not to get distracted by the rough patch rolling over the roller. The knee bowls are not very comfortable at first it really hurt, but then i got used to it; not as great as i thought it would be, it does some what to my obliques gets the heart rate up if you do it quickly i guess. But hurts the lower back on a few of us that have used it, deffinatly not worth $400.00 more like $99 should have just bought a second hand one on trade me for $200, also beware of the fakes! made of cheap materials that break, you can go to spot the fake ab circle on utube to make sure its not a fake that will break, thanks hope you get what you can from this .

I personally really love my ab circle pro! its easy to use, easy to set up, can use it while watching tv and it shows results. with in the first couple of weeks i had a toned stomach, arms and my legs took a bit longer to tone but got there in the end, its a great little set up i used it every day or every second day, watching tv for about 15min, some weeks i didnt use it at all and i didnt even use the food planner i just ate what i would normally eat but just a bit less of the bad stuff. remember to stretch before and after as you can get very sore arms and shoulders the next day. but at least a 81/2 out of 10 for the ab circle pro!
