I bought these trying to save a few bucks but, in the end, I ended up buying the Perfect Pushup anyway. The push up pro hurt my hands and didn't seem to rotate smoothly. The Perfect Pushup is superior in both of these aspects and they are a bit taller which allows you to do a deeper pushup. Do yourself a favor and just fork over the extra dough for the Perfect Pushup.

I bought this product three weeks ago, and have used it about 15 total days. After a few uses, I realized the genius of these Push-Up Pros.
First, I tried them on the floor. As a middle-aged female, who can do no more than 15 men's push-ups at a time, these tools did not make it any easier for me to do more. I was kind of disappointed, although I realized my wrists did not feel as much strain. So, I kept them in direct view of my couch, hoping to be inspired while watching television. Seeing them in front of me, I used them a few more times, on the floor with the same results.
THEN, one night I decided to try them on the wall. I placed them on the wall and proceeded to do an entire workout. It felt incredible. I put them at different levels, stretching my back, my legs, holding my weight against the wall, and doing push-ups at my leisure. The next day, I noticed improvement in the core of my body and my posture: I felt almost like an olympic swimmer. After a few weeks, I noticed the flab on my arms diminishing. My super-toned muscles of younger days are now making a comeback.
The principle of this item is simple: there are no attachments necessary, and no markings are left on your wall or flooring. It is simply a way for one to exercise against the weight of his or her own body. Ideally, this is what we all should strive for, to be able to lift and control our own body weight (call it isotonics, kinetics, or whatever you want). I recommend a day of rest between extensive workouts, to give your shoulders recovery time.
The handles could be a little more comfortable, and I believe the makers of this product will soon realize so. These are, however,completely portable, inexpensive, and not a dangerous contraption, therefore I give them a top-rating.

There is another version of this same invention currently available. It's twice as expensive and looks bigger. Well, if you need added cushion, padding, etc., then you might want to buy that one. I got THIS one, however, and think it was well worth it. Some people might complain that the handles are not "comfortable" enough. The first session I did I thought the same thing. However you get used to that very quickly. It's like anything, it takes some getting used to. The good thing about this device is it is so simple. It takes up no space at all, and basically the work is up to you. It's definitely worth the money.

I bought these "Push Up Pros" because they were inexpensive and conceptually, they seemed very cool, and inexpensive. I had seen the Perfect Pushups first, but as they were twice the money I decided I would do myself a favor and buy the Push up Pros instead.

I tried them out once I brought them home, they were okay. There was an obvious drag on them due to the weight (I only weigh 150) and it was making the turning of the components choppy and rough. They are also made a cheap plastic and they really lack durability. They weren't too bad, but they definitely weren't anything to be too excited over.

I returned them and bought the Perfect Pushups. I have never made a better decision. These ones always have a perfect, smooth, controlled movement, are very durable, have steel ball bearings inside, and they are just a sturdier, better product overall.

I was actually excited about showing these off (everyone loves them) and I have been using them for about 3 months (included in a normal chest routine) and I have seen massive results.

Overall I don't recommend this product, and I would bite the bullet and spend the extra $20 for the Perfect Pushups.

They do the job well. I bought locally at Wal greens for the same cost. They don't spin as freely as the competition which I personally like. Solid as hell despite being plastic. Non-slip pads on the bottom keep it from sliding around. The included pamphlet has a basic workout and short, yet helpful eating tips. These will be easier to travel with than the competition. As for comfort...Weight gloves solve any issues with padding. Or use household sponges. Or buy bicycle grips and slice them in half. All of these ideas should save you the extra $20 you'd spend on the competition.

If you use them, they'll work. But so do normal pushups. These just feel more "natural" if such a thing exists.

I used the perfect push up at a local gym I used to go to and it made me want it, so I searched for it on Amazon and I found this as an alternative and read reviews and all that jazz before I purchased it. I think this performs just as well as the perfect push up and it costs quite a bit less so I was happy about that. All in all, if you are looking for a better way to do push ups this is it, I instantly felt it in parts of my muscles I haven't felt before. So if you are debating between this and the perfect push up, there really is no difference, just the name.

Oh yeah, when I saw the pictures I thought that these didn't have a grip, I thought it was just hard plastic and I imagined that would a little raw but decided to go for it anyway. But I was wrong, these have a real comfortable grip made of some rubbery substance that feels great to hold when doing the push ups!

Compared to another, similar product the Push Up Pro is a great deal. They both have the same design concept, but you can get your hands on this product for about half the price. Despite the big price difference, for your money you will receive a product that is sturdy, rotates smoothly, and is comfortable on the palms of your hands. I have done standard military push ups for years, and while it took me a minute to get used the rotation this device introduces into the movement, I have found that it feels more natural and puts less strain on my joints. Its probably too early to tell (I just bought the Push Up Pro two weeks ago), but it seems to be helping me take my strength and physique to the next level. Just get it. You'll be glad you did.

I was considering this and the Perfect Pushup (twice the price). I am glad I went with the Push Up Pro because I saved $20 over the competition and it works just fine. I have nothing to complain about with quality etc. It is harder to do pushups with these than just the floor.

I have used the Push Up Pro for about a week now and have no complaints so far. I had read in some of the other reviews that the handles hurt your hands while using it, I have had no problems with that at all. I would definitely recommend this product. It is a steal at $19 compared to the more expensive model which does the same thing.

I am a United States Navy Seabee so keeping myself physically ready is a must. I bought perfect Pushup 2 years ago in the navy to get a better pushup workout. I bought this just recently because one of my perfect pushup started acting up and started to get rough rotations. I was looking to see if i can get a "cheaper" and maybe even better alternative to perfect pushups.

These guys are a perfect solution. I actually like these much better than perfect pushup but that may be because I have smaller than average male hands. The rotations are far smoother than perfect pushup... this may be good or bad according to your few. Perfect pushup seems to have some resistance. This set just glides with no effort which ended up making my pushups even better because I could focus on my workout rather than the rotation.

I was worried about the quality due to price but after punching out a couple, my doubts were gone. Yes perfect pushup is superior in quality but I find these to have better targeted results. The handles are actually rubber grip and yes they did hurt the palm of my hands the first time i used it. But like every other workout you do, your body (hands) get used to that real quick.

I recommend this for anyone looking to workout your upperbody or wanting a workout in between workouts. I can't always go to the gym so I use these guys to keep my workout momentum going.
