Limber Pro Adjustable Seat Height Stretch Machine with Calf Stretching Station

First off - the "how to" video makes assembly super quick and easy. I didn't have to look as the instructions once.As for the machine - I love the stretches. I set it up in my home gym and now it's easy to add critical stretches between reps of weights and after cardio.Sure - you can always get on the floor on a mat (like I used to), but having a machine with a tilting seat makes getting into and out of stretches so much easier and more convenient.I wish I'd bought this years ago.

I purchased the Nitrofit Limber Pro Stretch machine a month ago to assist with the bursitis in my hip and to have something for my husband to stretch his back as he does a great deal of heavy lifting at work. I could not get a decent stretch using the floor exercises recommended by the Chiropractor. I saw a similar machine in the office and watched other patients use it. It looked like it would be a great help in getting the stretch I needed for my hip. The employees advised the machine was no longer available to purchase. Well that particular machine may not have been, but they have others out there. Thank goodness.This machine is awesome. My husband and I use it every morning after our morning exercises. I get the deep stretch needed to keep the pain out of my hip. My husband says his back has never felt better. The other stretches on the machine are also great. I will use it in the morning and again before going to bed. It has help tremendously with my pain.I did a great deal of research on the Nitrofit ($449.00) and Precor 240i Commercial Series ($728.00) stretch trainers before purchasing one. There were two complaints for the Nitrofit on Amazon reviews- 1. felt it was made of cheap steel (1) (I personally did not feel this was true) and 2. not enough padding around the foot board (explained below).I also found an exercise/trainer web page that evaluated both machines. For use, durability, and cost the Nitrofit won hands down. There was not a down side by this website. The pluses were it had an adjustable base (for height) and had the calf stretcher which are not available on the Precor. The Precor 240i review was very general in description and did not provide anything to sway me in spending a great deal more money.Recommendations for the manufacturer1. Send larger paper prints of the exercises with the machine or a link to access printable copies. I was able to go to the Nitrofit website to see larger pictures, this was very helpful but I could not print them, I had to take pictures of each exercise with my cell phone.2. Use a different color than grey on the placard for the start position as it is not real visible. This made it difficult to figure out a couple of the exercises.3. Figure out a way to put more padding on the edge of the foot board as when you do the hamstring stretch it can be somewhat painful on the under part of the leg. I place a folded up shirt under my leg and this alleviates the problem.Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and would purchase this again. It would have been nice to have actually tried the Precor 240i to have a true comparison of movement and durability but I am not sure with the large cost difference it would have changed my mind. As stated above in the reviews I read there was nothing that stood out making the commercial product better.

I've had this machine for three months and already I see significant changes. I am a 67 year old man and I was no longer able to pick up a pencil from the floor by bending over. Now I pick up a pencil without difficulty. I am getting closer to my next goal which is to touch the floor with my fingertips without bending my knees. I am very pleased with my machine to date and look forward to seeing the improvement in my golf swing.

I used a machine similar to this at the gym and loved it. After researching several machines offered on Amazon, I decided on this one. It is very sturdy and easy to use. You are in complete control, and can ease into each stretch to the point that you feel comfortable. There is the tiniest wobble when sitting on the seat, but I think it’s due to how the parts fit together on the adjustable base to allow the seat to move forward and backwards. It is very sturdy!I have had lower back and hip pain for a while now and this machine helps tremendously. The full routine of stretches, provided on the illustration panel, only take a few minutes and make a world of difference. I sleep so much better now without tossing and turning from aching all night. I bought this on sale, but it is worth every penny sale or no sale.My only note is that we don’t need the ability to adjust the base. Unless you are really tall, I doubt it would be an issue. The one at the club was smaller than this one and numerous people of all sizes were able to use it affectively.We keep it behind a chair in the living room, and it is barely visible (see picture). It makes it very easy to use in passing throughout the day and while watching TV in the evening.I had a question after I received it and I easily got in contact with the seller. They responded immediately and resolved my issue.

Better than the Precor we use at the gym. Easy to put together. Very high quality materials. Designed well, great stability for all stretching positions. Exceeded my expectations.
