Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The VersaFlex Stretching Machine is a solid and very useful piece of equipment, especially for those of us who are on the wrong side of middle-age. We bought this (used and fully assembled) since my son (14), daughter (17), and I (45) have started taking TaeKwonDo (actually I took it some 23 years ago and am just getting back into it - hard to start over a White Belt, but to be honest that is appropriate). I am 5' 10" and 240 lbs (down from 290 lbs) and find that this machine has greatly improved my flexibility. Here are my observations:
Pros -
+ Very Solid; easily takes my weight and never feels like it is over stressed
+ Easy to Adjust; leg pads are easy to set and accommodate my 5' 6" daughter and my 5' 11" son
+ Easy to Use; the ratcheting lever is conveniently positioned and smoothly moves the legs apart
+ Grips; front and side handles allow for extended stretching, which is very helpful to getting full benefit from the machine
+ Gauge Indicates Progress; the degrees are clearly marked and seem to be accurate
+ Comfortable; the seat, back support, and legs are nicely padded
Cons -
- 5 Degree Increments; while 5 degrees might not seem like much of an advance, it really is when you are at the extreme end of your range
- Tight Release; the ratchet release can be difficult to activate while the legs are under tension
- Bulky Frame; this takes up a lot of floor space, even when not in use
Misc -
* As noted above, I bought this used (lightly) so did not have to assemble it myself (good since I'm mechanically inept)
* I never use any stretching or exercise equipment without another person being around, helpful since I got stuck my first time
Overall I am very pleased with the VersaFlex and am impressed with improvement in leg flexibility we all have seen as a result of using it.
