Fritschi Gravity Step In

Advantages: ease of use,non impact,non-gruelling exercise
Disadvantages: heaviness,difficult to manouvre in small spaces

...I purchased an INFINTI gravity walker plus after seeing umpteen demonstrations of the product on a t.v shopping channel.At the time of purchase I was almost three stone overweight and lacked motivation. I thought that it looked easy to use and I would lose weight effortlessly. Its biggest selling point was its foldability and manouvreability.The demonstrators would say "just fold it flat and roll it away!"....slide it under the bed or put it up against the wall. I have very limited space in my home so I was pleased that I would be able to store it under the bed. I ordered it, and it arrived in a very large flat rectangular box which was extremely heavy.....it needed two people to take up the stairs. It was 95% assembled and the instructions on how to attach the handles, the footplates and on-board computer(monitoring number of strides... Read review

Advantages: Easy to read display
Disadvantages: Clocks up steps you haven't done

...If you are determined to walk the recommended 10,000 steps a day then one of these little things is perfect to let you know how well, or not so well, you are doing. This is just a step counter and not a pedometer, a pedometer will count your miles, steps, calories, speed and all sorts of things for the more hard core of you out there, the step counter just counts steps! The step counter is really small, light, and discrete so you can wear it anytime and it won't bother you. It just clips on to your waistband, front or back and off you go!

The only downside to not having to input your stride is that it's not very accurate, if you are standing still... Read review

Advantages: great way to keep in good shape
Disadvantages: the size

...Id been wanting one of these for a long time and i finally got one, i order it and within 24 days it arrived. This object is quite big and my advise is before getting the gravity walker is to make sure you have room and somewhere to put this in your house. The gravity walker cost me £79.99 which personally i think is a great price to keep fit. Opening it and putting this together only took me over 15 mins, I read the manual and it does comment on holding onto the bars at the side if your a starter and have never used one of these before, as it may be difficult to use before you start getting the hang of it so i did so, which did help me a lot because if you get straight onto it and use the other handles there's a good possibility you could fall off it. - did this help to tone up my body?? - i got this gravity walker over a year...
