The video starts playing automatically for some reason but does anyone have any experience with one of these? I saw it at the store I work at and was curious. A gym membership is not an option for me so I was wondering how close this would come to strength training?

This is so stupid. You don't need a chair for this. Just buy one or two resistance bands and you can get just as good workout... and save 20$.

I saw that on TV and couldn't stop laughing. It's a folding chair with some pulleys attached!

Oh! It reminds me of the EasyXChair on Dragons Den a few years back. Had all the Dragons wetting themselves :laugh:

"instead of struggling with heavy weights"

BAW HA HA HA HA HA

okay- I'll just not struggle at all- because what's the point of lifting if you aren't struggling at least A LITTLE bit.

Wow. Earlier this year I was joking when I said I was going to produce a "Come Sit With Me" exercise video series to compete with those walking DVDs. I guess someone beat me to it.

Resistance band = $6

Folding chair = $9

Chair Gym = $150



Sure. I'm a Registered Chair Gym Coach. I sell the supplements you have to use to get the best results. Message me for more info.

Wow. I didn't say I loved it and wanted to marry it... was just seeing if it was worth investigating. Apparently not.

DaveP_Fit

marrying it would probably be more effective than buying it to use as an exercise tool

Yeah if you're not struggling at least a little you're not doing it right.


OP if you've got $150 to spend there are a lot better investments you can make. If you just want strength training you can do at home google You Are Your Own Gym-- that won't cost you anything.

Sitting and standing while exercising already jumped the shark. I recommend waiting until my "cot gym" comes out instead. You can make it yours for only 8 easy payments of $39.99.

I just wanna take it to a kids soccer game sidelines and do that in front of other parents and see what happens. Because my life is too easy right now.

As above - for $150 you should be able to get a decent start on some proper weights.

Or some resistance bands and a chair you've already got .

Having got some bands to use when I'm away and my own weights setup when not; I'd definitely start the 'real weights' collection if you can.

For maximal results, wear this while using it:

If it vibrates I'd say it's worth the money...

Wait what?! It's 150$?! I thought it's 30$ but now I see it's 5x payments of 30$ after looking again more carefully! Even for 30$ than would not be worth! 150$!!!! ARE THEY FKING CRAZY?!!!

The nice thing about the exercise chair is that i can use it with my vibrating sauna pants.



They go great together!

Man she's got talent. If the chair can teach me to do that...IN! Because when I had a job like that I couldnt' even do that without spilling while WALKING.
