Waste of money,
By
This review is from: Lateral Thigh Trainer (Sports)
After using it 3 times, the thing began to squeek with each step. WD40 didn't help and it sure made a mess of things. Maximum resistance wasn't much at all. And here's the worst part: after using this for more than 20 minutes, I began to have patella tendon pain (just below the kneecap), as did my wife. She stopped using it altogether, but I kept using it for a few more sessions to see if the pain/soreness would eventually subside. It didn't.
I'm a physical therapist and I realized (albeit too late) the faulty mechanics it subjects your knees to - internally rotating your tibia (lower leg) in relation to the femur (thigh bone) with resistance, which puts a lot of shearing force on your knee - particularly the patella tendon. I have never had knee pain in my life, but I had plenty of knee pain after using the LTT only a few times. Although it cleared up after a couple hours each time, I could tell I was likely speeding up arthritic changes in my knees. No thanks. It sits in my garage now, collecting dust and taking up space. So I highly recommend spending the money on some other piece of fitness equipment. Hope this helps. Kevin in AZ, USA

Don't buy it!!!,

This review is from: Lateral Thigh Trainer (Sports)
I bought the extended warranty- thank goodness!!! because I went through one trainer every 30 days. These machines are garbage, the people who made these machines rely on people who purchase the machine and then don't use it. I used it every day for 30 minutes and returned 3 machines. The first problem: The chain broke. Second problem: The tension adjuster snapped. Third problem: the frame cracked. I am not a heavy person either, the unit is just not made to be actually used.

Very Disappointed...,
By
This review is from: Lateral Thigh Trainer (Sports)
I bought my LTT about a year ago to help get rid of the baby fat I had gained from my pregnancy. I used it 6 days a week for 30 min. and also used 5 lb. free weights while using the machine. It started squeking about three months after I bought it but it wasn't too much of an annoyance with the TV on however, the chain has broken four times already and the hook that connects the chain has now broken. I only weigh 156 pounds, so I can't be the problem. My husband has fixed it everytime that it has broke but when the hook that connects the chain broke last night, my husband suggested buying something else because it is becoming time consuming and costly to fix this machine every other day (literally).<br />
I would say spend your money on something else, although heavy, the gears and chain construction is not good.
