MERACH Balancing Machine for Full Body Workout, Sliding Ski Simulator with Resistance Bands, 300 LBS Loading Capacity Exercise Workout Equipment for Women(Black)

Revised to mention: I seen some reviews that say it is hard on the knees. Yesterday I started to experience a little knee pain while working out, I straightened my leg to correct my form and the pain went away. So be mindful of how you stand on it to prevent injury to the knee if that is your concern. Running always causes me knee pain so I can no linger run, and I have a lot of muscle spasms in my feet so I have to make sure to wear good shoes and plant my feet to the outermost edges of the machine. Hope that helps. This little machine gives me a good workout. I am seriously out if shape so I had to only do ten minutes at a time to start. Now I am up to thirty but going slower on it. It doesn’t give a wide enough movement but it works well. I will say I had to put it between a wider doorway as I don’t have the balance needed to stand on it without support.

The technology of this gear is fairly simple and ingenious if you look underneath. It looks sturdy and probably fixable in most case of damage, in hope there's no need anytime soon, of course. The length is roughly 2 thirds of the Aeroski, so the movement is not as wide (particularly because the Aeroski is much more arched making the movement range even wider), but this slide stepper range of movement is not ridiculously tiny neither. It's approachable yet it gets quickly challenging. It's fun with the provided resistance band or with dumbbells, trying different postures. The amazon product page shows several other ways to use it with the hands or with one leg at the time. Nice diversity of usages. There's another awesome option. In front of a system that can block my feet and a classical resistance band behind my feet (aerobic deck, door anchor strap on the floor and yoga blocks, fixed or heavy furniture...), I sit astride on this slider from an adjusted distance and am able to mimic a rowing exercise closely enough, thanks to the rails underneath, let's say with a slight wave due to the arch. That's a very appreciable trick in a space where there's no room for the typical rowing machine. Conclusion, this is an good fitness product.

I like this leg exerciser. I set a timer for about three minutes. I get on it which is easy and safe. And press side to side not hard, but just easy to give my legs a lttle workout. After three minutes I feel it in my legs. Make sure you stay balanced, go slowly. And it’s a good safe product!

I LOVE this machine! I have double knee replacements and needed something to help me build muscle strength in my legs in preparation for skiing. The set up is super easy. All I had to do was connect the straps and get started. I have to exercise caution stepping onto it to make sure I don't lose my balance, but once I'm on it the motion is easy. I can stand tall or squat a little while I use it, strengthening my muscles in different ways. I don't have to use the straps, but they help me develop rhythm while exercising. The screen is easy to see. It's easy and I can feel a burn after just a couple minutes. This is definitely a great value and one of my best (and simplest) exercise machine purchases! It doesn't take up much space and stores easily.

I was so excited for this. It was easy to assemble, it is a space saver which is nice I hate bulky things however I am in the right weight limit for this product and I used it a couple times and a piece broke off the bottom mid glide it was so scary, now it makes a grinding noise and leaves black shavings on the floor. I tried reaching out to the company about it. Sent photos etc. finally I contacted Amazon after not getting anywhere to get my refund.

I got this because of all the hype on fb. To my pleasant surprise, I have enjoyed using this machine. Very easy on my knees, which is what I was looking for and fun to do just watching TV or listening to music. Easy to store away and doesn’t take up much room. Very smooth movement so can be used in apartment setting with no issues.

I bought this for myself, but, I am too tall (5’9”) to use it comfortably. However, I ended up keeping it for my youngest with ADHD and barely 5 feet tall. It is a wonderful device for super active kids that are constantly on the move. And need a distraction while watching shows on the TV.

Loving my purchase!! The design on this side stepper makes it easy to move around the house so during the day, I use this with my stand up desk and “slide” or “ski” while I’m working. I make sure to burn at least 1000 calories a day before I call it quits. This has become a game changer in my daily routine! The build quality is perfect as the counter on the machine doesn’t keep going if you have to stop and get off for a moment to perform a task. It will too and restart when you get back on and start working out again which I love. The size of the machine is perfect and it doesn’t take up much room. Can be stored under a desk or bed when not in use.
