Product Description
Akrowheels are a complete, whole-body toning system in a lightweight package. The brainchild of two fitness trainers and competitive athletes who noted how using the athlete’s own body weight resulted in killer bodies. These tools provide an amazing core workout, improve flexibility with unique dynamic stretches, and dramatically sculpt the upper body. The wheels allow for more push up variations and hit the abs from more angles (read: more results) than any other tool on the market. They are equally suited for women and men of all fitness levels.- No more crunches: roll your way to trim, flat abs and a strong core - Total Body Workout in minutes a day- Quicker, better results: tone all of the muscles of the midsection at the same time- Navy SEAL approved exercises- Instructional DVD includes 3 full workouts

 Wheel Broke Off After Only 2nd Time Using.... December 9, 2009

Today was the second day/time that I used these wheels and while doing a pushup with the Akrowheels, one of the wheels literally broke off where it was SUPPOSED to be welded on to the rest of the unit. The screw which was tight, was still in tact. The was a tiny tac weld, which as weld done in one spot, almost like a large dot. IT WAS SURELY NOT WELDED PROPERLY TO SUPPORT ANYONE. I only weight 150lbs, so theres no way that there was excess weight beyond recommended max weight limit.
The worst part is that when the wheel broke off, the broken weld sliced into my thumb which was and still is bleeding heavily 2 hours later.
I like-ED this product, of course until it broke and injured me.
I recommend staying away from this product until there is some r&d done to improve the build quality of this product. For the amount of money asked for this product, there is NO way it should be made so flimsy. I am a personal trainer and if one of my clients hurt themselves like I did using this product, I or my fitness club could be sued heavily.
My 2 cents,
Michael

I really liked this product when I received it, but in less than a month, one of the wheels became loose. When I attempted to tighten it with the allen wrench, the bolt would just turn, and it wouldn't tighten. Amazon as always promptly shipped me a new pair, and so far so good.
 an advancement from single abwheel November 23, 2009

I really like these abwheel. They are much more versatile from the single abwheel which I used to have. Feel very durable with simple design. Just be aware that some of the advanced moves really put a lot pressure on your ankles so better lose some weight if you have a small frame like me. A big plus to Amazon. I emailed customer service about the defected training DVD included and they replied me and shipped a replacement overnight ! I bought the item with Amazon Prime though. There are plenty training tutorials on youtube so check them out and enjoy your workout.
Quality product, but doesn't deliver for me September 21, 2009

Quality craftsmanship/well made product. However, I'm not going to be using these and opting instead for a regular fitness ball. I didn't realize until using these that the rolling action (using the lower body) experienced when using a fitness ball is essential. When I use these Akro Wheels it feels like something is missing, so I used a fitness ball for some of the same core/push up combos and found it to be much more efficient and tiring. Also, it seemed to me that these Akro Wheels are only useful to the Supermen/Superwomen of core strength. It was quite painful for me to do any of the more difficult exercises, which would normally be ok, but for the fact the easier exercises didn't work me very well. In other words, there seems to be no middle ground when using these; but rather, they seem to benefit only a beginner (to working out in general) or the very advanced core strength people (there are videos of these people demonstrating this product all over the internet).
Wow! September 7, 2009

You won't believe your results with this item. It is more effective than the video shows.
