Seriously? $270? LOL!

Go take a 2 mile walk- it's free.

If someone has fat on them, it looks like it just shakes it around more!

Silly looking "thing" but some will pay that money for something that does nothing but shake you.

anyone remember the piece of exercise equipment....many years ago....that you stood on and put a wide strap around your middle....and it shook the heck out of you?!

I used a larger one in physical therapy, it helped me with balance & circulation...felt great after using it.

QVC should be ashamed to sell such a useless contraption.  Its like one of those things charlatans used to sell.

I was not aware of this product until I read the comments here.  I was surprised at the positive reviews both here and youtube. I will not be purchasing the product at this time but the hosts should have disclosed exclusions not just put in description the generic "As always, please consult your personal physician before beginning any diet or exercise program".

I can't comment about the product itself as I have no personal experience with it.

I'm not advocating for the item on sale since I know nothing about it. But I do think many people would rather exercise in private, than out in public.

I just want to say not everyone can so easily just take a two mile walk. Some have no safe area to step out of the house and walk. Not everyone can drive somewhere, and can't comfortably take public transportation to find a place to safely walk. Gyms are still closed. Parks close at dusk. Some malls are closed or too deserted to feel comfortable walking around. We don't all live in communities with sidewalks or street lamps. 

But I have to say, I repeatedly read negative comments from posters about products that they have never purchased or used. And they are so often phrased with an air of superiority as if these posters are too cool, too savvy, too wise to waste money on something they just know is junk and of zero benefit to anyone.

And each time that's done it's impinging and insulting the judgement of anyone that's interested in one of those products. People are free to spend, or even waste their money anyway they want. 

Now I'll step down from my soapbox.

I don't own the Fitnation one, but I do have one similar. Not with the seat part, though. They use them at the physical therapy place I went for my knees. I actually like using it. I don't have a dedicated spot for it, and it's 30+ lbs. to lug around. When I use it, it makes my knees and legs feel better.
