First of all I'd like to say how much I loved my Thighmaster. I got one four months ago from a Sportmart and it has been part of my daily routine ever since. I have much better thigh muscles and a lot more confidence in myself because that little invention made of foam and an industrial strength coil. With that said, I have a slightly amusing and mildly alarming anecdote for you.
I was just beginning my strength training exercises and I had just done my second rep with the Thighmaster and all of the sudden I heard a loud pop and it fell to the ground . . . IN TWO PIECES! Now there are two things that immediately crossed my mind, "Wow man, my thighs must made of STEEL!" and the other more likely scenario "Wow man, it fell apart after four months, this must be an inferior product." Anyway I e-mailed SuzanneSommers.com in hopes that it was a fluke and that I had gotten the one crumby thighmaster. I asked them if it was possible to replace it, and sadly although I only owned it four months I was told " It may be time for a new thigh master as the product is not designed to last forever." Last time I checked, four months is NOT anywhere near forever. A year, six months maybe, but when you divide the cost of a thighmaster by the amount of time I owned it, the costs outweighs the benefits. It is even less comforting that the company wasn't surprised or alarmed by their product's short lifespan. It seemed that if four months is akin forever to the people at suzannesomers.com, then the product's usage expectancy is not much more than that. It makes me unhappy to have ruined such a handy little device with normal wear and tear, but I can't really afford to buy a new one every four months. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up and let you know that although it is theoretically a great product, the durability is highly dubious. And the suzannesomers.com, who referred me to the manufacturer's warrantee only think that a thighmaster should work for three months maximum.

I have an original thighmaster I purchased years ago...thinking this Thighmaster Gold was going to be similar I purchased it to take to work with me. It is very flimsy-it seems to be made of very light weight material that is not going to hold up. My old thighmaster is very sturdy-I have been using it for years and it looks fairly new. This one will be ready for the trash can in less than a year. Save your money!

This will be my 6th thighmaster purchase. Everyone of them has snapped in half within a year. I have tried other brands..but their resistance is too weak. It seems to me that this product could be made much better and last a lot longer.

I bought the thighmaster a couple of months ago. Although the thighmaster is supposed to help work more than one area of the body, I've found it works best to help tone one's thighs. I haven't any problems using it, nothing has broken or come loose, etc.

Poor quality materials. We bought this Thighmaster Gold after the spring in our original Thighmaster (blue) broke in half, and now the spring just broke in this second one. My wife did like using it, while it lasted.

this item has really done some damage on my fat. it only works if you use it! watch your ddiet and excercise regular with thighmaster-it works. i am pleased.

I had one of these in high school and had great results. After having my son I thought I would give it a try again since I don't have time to go to the gym and I can do this at home on my couch. Results are still great. Give it a try.

Have bought 2 now and both within a couple months of use the spring broke, come in Suzanne summers fix you product, maybe you should make it in America

im sorry but this product is extremely boring and is a waste of my money
