Pros: Safe, easy to use, effective, inexpensive. Cons: You will need dumbbells to round out your work out. For the very beginner.
The Easy Shaper by Fitness Quest is a piece of exercise equipment that I would market for women. It seems the company does as well. There are some exercises that men dont normally do. They usually dont use ankle cuffs, for example, to work ...

Pros: compact- full body workout- easy for everyone- adjusts to your fitness level. Cons: I do not find any cons- it gives you your moneys worth.
I have both the original and the Pro model of the Fitness Quest Easy Shaper. Both models work well- I prefer the Pro model as it sits up off the floor several inches and has adjustable height on the foot bar( better for adjusting for taller and shorter ...

I Returned Mine
by whateva ,Feb 01 '07
Pros: You can really feel the workout in your arms. Cons: Uncomfortable , and straining on your back and shoulders.
I bought it because it was on sale for 45 dollars at Wal-mart, and I took it back less than a week later.After using it 3 times I had red dots imprinted on my shoulders from the back bench.It is very uncomfortable.You can feel that it is working out your legs and arms but the pain from your shoulders during the exercise and the next day is not worth the actual exercise.As far as working your abs , I didn't feel anything except once again being uncomfortable.The machine squeaks the whole time you use it.

OMG So Amazin!
by jade_marcy ,Feb 08 '07
Pros: Amazing Videos! Great Meal Plans! Lots of Fun! Cons: NONE! if there is you are doing it wrong!
I absolutly Love this machine. For those people who said it didn't work then they must have been doing something wrong. Because even my Mother in Law with arthritus loves it. She just bought one too! I love that it not only comes with nutritonal information but a grocery list too! Since being on the maching only a week I have lost 5 pounds, I have slept better and I already am getting comments on how great and happy I look. This machine is the best bang for your buck. Fifty Dollars to completly change your life seems like a fair deal to me!

Easy Shaper
by sandybeach1469 ,Mar 19 '07
Pros: Was only $10 and works great Cons: Since I have hard wood floor it moves while I do the excercise
I bought mine at Wal-Mart for $10.00 on clearance and I figured if it didn't work for me at least I only wasted $10.00.
Well after my husband put it together for me since I suck at putting this together I went to work while he sat there and helped me get in the right postion and to pause the DVD so I could keep up and not get lost...
I am only 5'3" or so and I was able to do all the excercise on the DVD and to me it has enough resistant at the lowest one I can't even imagine me going to the second one anytime soon
I felt a difference after the first night and will continue to use it.

Not impressed
by itsux ,May 07 '07
Pros: Cant really think of any Cons: Too many to name....
I've used my Easy shaper off and on for a year now. I have recently stopped using it because one of the screws came out on the back and the bottom portion of the bench pops up on some exercises.
The ab workout didnt do squat. I got better results sweating and crying through Slim 6 ab workout.
The leg workout is good, but the resistance isn't all that great.
The arm workout was okay. I didn't really feel much from it either.
Overall it's an okay machine, but I wouldn't have paid what I did for it, had I known that it was so limited.

sorry,its garbage
by anpcns ,Apr 11 '07
Pros: lightweight, ok for small women or beginners Cons: a waste of money
I was interested in this based on its design and it looked like an efficient way to get in a low-impact workout. However I do not believe this machine is made for women over 150 lbs, at least I found it very awkward, hard to use,very difficult to get into the right position. I also found that it did not provide enough resistance for anyone beyond the beginner level.It did not appear at all durable, and so overall, I cannot recommend it. Body by Jake bun and thigh rocker is a much better machine and you can do upper body work with elastic bands.

I gave mine away
by rhbrand ,Mar 16 '06
Pros: Good for beginners
Decent chest work Cons: Only good for beginners, no real resistance
Mine was noisy
I saw the infomertial, and liked what I saw.
To bad. I wasted my money. This is only for the beginner.
I even got the extra bands hoping it would help and still, it didn't give me any real resistance at all.
For me, it didn't fit my body either. I'm 5'2" tall and I had to move way down the machine to do the leg presses.
The ab work was odd feeling too. I didn't like the ab work.
The only really good thing was the chest press, but I can do better with my dumbbells.

Easy Shaper
by enginerd_girl ,Dec 03 '05
Pros: Folds up for storage, works more than one area Cons: Difficult to assemble
I just purchased the easy shaper pro, it is the same as the easy shaper except that it has legs that lift it up off the ground. I really enjoy it. I was worried since I am 5'11", but I have been able to use the machine with only one modification. I don't use the handles since they fall at my shoulders and I can't comfortably grab them I hold onto the bars on the side instead. I have used it every day for a week. I don't think I will get bored with it since there are so many different exercises that can be done. I'm thinking about trying to get some stronger resistance bands for it so that it is a little better workout.

Awesome piece of equipment
by ghandinurse ,Sep 03 '06
Pros: Easy to assemble, no stress or strain to lower back Cons: None!!!
I love this product. It was easy to assemble ( I am NOT good at assembling things ). It is easy to use & provides a well rounded & effective workout if used correctly. It does not put stress on your back or spine. You can feel the effectiveness. It can be modified to add or lower resistance. I highly recommend it. I have other pieces of gym equipment, some very costly, which have sadly ended up as clothes hangers !! This piece fits a woman's body well, and is prefect for women over 50 as well as younger women. I am an RN & highly recommend the Easy Shaper .

The funnest exercise i've ever done!!

Pros: Takes 2 people to put it together Cons: none
This exercise is so much fun and so easy to do. Takes about 10 minutes to do each day but i'm still just at the beginning levels. and i look forward to do this every single day. There are at least 7 exercises that one can do and it helps you want to exercise on it. I am 5'2" tall and just love to exercise.
