wow... what a great useless product

[ptcflores]

@lwmstern Very sorry that you do not like the product.

What I don't get, is that the owrkload appears to be much heavier on one side, are you doing two sets (i.e repeating for each side)?

[ptcflores]

@dexterliz You would do one set on each side of the exercises. By having the workload on only one side it forces you to stabilize the core muscle more to resist the angle of pull. So for most of the exercises there is always to rotational pull you must resist. The advantage of this is that now and days most people only train in the sagittal plane, so by using the rip trainer you are forced to work in the transverse plane and really target the transverse abdominis.

Idiotic device. Sports mimicry has never worked, It won't work now.

I am really not the type of person who responds on these things often, however, I love how creative your staff is. I was involved in the development of this product when it was in conception and have been doing these kind of movements for a long time with wooden dowels or a fitstik. Again you guys are awesome. Though there are many opinions of the effectiveness of these kind of movements I have found them very beneficial for both general fitness as well as my athletes. CAMP

ANY exercise product is beneficial. YOU determine it's uselessness by the way YOU use it.

What is up with these guys and hating? I think it is an amazing concept. Sure it won't get you bodybuilder big but those kind of people disgrace the fitness industry anyway. it will reduce your chance of injury, and allow more explosive power. Thus, this will allow potential weight loads to increase. The reason behind plyometrics. But you can only do so many plyo squats and plyo pushups, this allows much more variety and honestly probably one of the best tools to make a better ahlete.

Definitely not a useless product. We were able to simulate paddle boarding, canoeing, rowing, wood cutting, and many other things on this machine. It provided a great workout.

[tonept3]

definitely not a useless product, but if you are comparing it to the TRX, it's not close to the same thing. The Rip Trainer is a huge core stabilization trainer, which in itself, is a whole different dynamic than the TRX's versatility.

[ArentWeSpecial]

How absolutely useless. Pick up a barbell or a heavy dumbbell; this product will not get you anywhere close to strong.

what a great answer to the one side greater overload question. Yes fitness and exercising is about being functional and this product will help to stabilize the core muscles but when it comes to aesthetics equally training both sides with same resistance and intensity is important. Overall a really fancy product but i guess that is the trend!
