Ader Sporting Goods Thigh Exerciser, Thigh Master Exercise

I am recovering from a disability, so I needed some daily exercises to tone and firm my muscles. The Thigh Master fits my needs perfectly. For the low price I paid, I expected a cheap, flimsy piece of junk. What I received is a well-padded, moderately durable, effective piece of exercise equipment. It should hold up to moderate daily use, but I would not expect it to survive heavy workouts or years and years of steady exercise. I use it for the four exercises shown on the included (low-quality) insert and can tell that it is, indeed, improving my fitness level. The resistance level is easy enough for me to perform the exercises, but it still requires some effort on my part. A fit, healthy person, however, would possibly find it less of a workout than desired. I am particularly pleased with the thick padding that protects my legs and arms from bruising and discomfort. As a short woman, I find that the size of the Thigh Master is convenient when doing the arm/chest exercises and it should be so for anyone from 5'3" to 6'0". It may be awkward outside of that range, though. And while the Thigh Master is excellent for building up weak, infirm muscles, those who are fitness buffs will likely not benefit from use. However, it is perfect for me and I am so pleased with it that I am buying a spare for when this one gives out.

This is a great product. The tension isn't super high so if you're a fitness buff you may want to get something more hard core. But it is perfect for everyday people who are wanting to tone up their thighs. It's in great condition and you could use it practically anywhere. The only thing is you have to hold it in place sometimes so it doesn't slide off your legs.

Compared to the other thigh exercisers prevoiusly ordered, this model provides the correct amount of tightness and firmness without being too difficult to work with. Some of the other models ordered were too flimsy or became broken after a short period of use. Would highly recommend making this model available for as long as they are being produced.

Great product. Shipped faster than was stated. The tension is GREAT! It did come with a page for some exercise options. But because I am only 5" I am unable to do them all because of my short legs. :( Would recommend for anyone wanting to get your thighs in shape!

It CAN work, if you use it on a daily bases. It's no miracle worker, but it does do some shaping and toning. It just might take a little more time. Overall, I like it.

Thighmaster is a unique product that you can excercise just about everything and do it from a small package. We take it on the road with us because of its small size and value. Harold and Cindy

it was a very good idea to actually have a thigh toner...but unfortunately the item iv received was very defective, it would not bend or barely move. item was rusted in the inside and in the middle part. i was upset hope next time i get a better item:( im sorry i hate doing this.

Let me preface this review: I am not a serious fitness person. I do exercise--I ride my bike, swim, and walk--but I don't go to the gym, and I don't care about being "ripped." But, my doctor told me to start doing some strengthening exercises. This is one of the small items I bought, and I like it. It isn't super-high quality, and it probably wouldn't withstand a great deal of abuse so people who give their exercise equipment a workout might be disappointed. Also, fitness-oriented friends tell me the exerciser doesn't have a lot of resistance. So again, serious fitness people be warned. However, the resistance-level perfect for me, especially for my arms, and I have fun using it.
