ITS JUST A BIT LOOSE AT THE BOTTOM, DOSENT STOP THE EXCERCISE WORKING.
I’m no youngster but I found it easy to assemble, quite sturdy and easy ish to use. Hopefully it’ll do the job of getting me fitte
Would recommend this exercise equipment easy to use you can go at your own speed and you definitely do get results
This is a great, fun way to keep in shape! Very easy to assemble, extremely sturdy and away you go! The accompanying DVD hasn’t been used simply because I got it up on YouTube. I love how easy it is to twist away 20 minutes whilst listening to my favourite music! Would definitely recommend. I am in my fifties and am overweight but that isn’t a problem with this twist n shape. Following a sensible eating plan and exercise routine and it is working for me.
After hulahooping for a few months and finding that it had none to little results I decided to try twist and shape. Always been curvy and struggled to get excess weight off hips. I’m enjoying this equipment its harder what it looks but it’s challenging. Only on day 7 so I am.not expecting anything major result wise songar so good
I love this it’s so easy once you get the hang of it. Took me an hour to put together but it’s amazing, thered no resistance but you can feel it working in your muscles, it comes with a dvd which shows you the basics for 20 minutes. I’m very impressed with it 10/10 from me.
This was really easy to put together, it took less than 10 minutes. Nice and easy to use and it burns 130 calories in 10 minutes. The problems are the calorie counter / time is by your feet so it can be hard to see and it’s very noisy when in use. There’s a high pitch noise throughout any exercise.
Just received the gadget. Put it together in 15 minutes. And did first set of exercises for 20 minutes. I can feel the muscles .IS WORKING!!!
I knew I needed to do something to help get rid of my stomach and waistline after lockdowns especially seeing I hate walking. This is actually working and I can still look out my window or watch the telly. One extra bonus I’ve noticed is my back muscles are also being worked. I’m only doing 15 minutes a day at the moment as it has been 2 years of not doing anything. So highly recommend this for anyone who like me wants to start a light exercise inside and actually feel it working.
Only one minor issue the grasp handles squeak and are a bit small especially if you have long nails.

Excellent service from Thane. Computer arrived faulty. The whole machine was replaced immediately.
I suffer with osteoporosis & osteoarthritis so this is a great work out for low impact exercising.
It is repetitive but I quite like that.

I love it only thing is I had to go and buy a DVD player for the disk
Absolutely love this ! Well made strong and stable. Used this in the comfort of my lounge with the music on . Really felt the burn after 20 mins and definitely felt the effects did get a funny look from the dog though! Easy to use great price of equipment really felt like I had done a workout . Space saving easy to store away and move around from room to room .

I’ve only used it a couple of times so far, but it was easy to set up and easy to use. I bought the folding (deluxe) design when It was in a flash sale and cost less than the original. I’m glad I did as it’s folded footprint is very small, especially when compared to when it is unfolded. Having seen the difference, for me the folding version would be worth the extra cost.

Very pleased so far, a really good work out but you need a good 20 minutes to get a sweat going. I have only been using it for 5 days but with some good music it’s like dancing and 20 minutes fly by.

I loved it. It’s not difficult or makes exercising extremely difficult but it’s rather fun and not tiring at all. I do 20min in the morning and afternoon and feel great already. I’ve used it since Sunday and within 3 days it feels great and no regrets at all. Delivered fast and easy to assemble. I highly recommend this to everyone especially for whom have some physical issues.

The product is great and I have to say a big thank you to the sellers who were very helpful and communicative when I had an issue. Definitely five out of five for those guys.
This product is an easy workout for busy people, easy to assemble. doesn’t make a lot of noise and is value for money.
Easy assembly. 2 x 20 minute work out program on the dvd is a real fat buster. I’m on my second week and have lost pounds! Excellent convenient workout machine for the home, without the obstruction of a bike or treadmill . I highly highly recommend!!!
Feel the burn after 5 minutes by following their video on YouTube

othing wrong with the product whatsoever ,does exactly as described, I returned as it wasn’t for me , what I’m most annoyed about is having to pay 25 for delivery and a further 39 to return it!! that’s over half of what it cost ! one very dissatisfied custome

Very good. Quick delivery and the box was in good condition. Easy to use. Love i
I love this. I didn’t think it would be built as sturdy as it is and is a great workou
I bought this for my Mam for Christmas because she always wants to exercise but never does, and she really likes using this because it’s not too difficult and she can feel it’s working.
Very happy !!! Thank you . I absolutely love this exercise machine.
Delivered quicker than expected and very easy to set up and use.
I have limited mobility and am not very strong (or particularly practical!) This was exceptionally easy to construct, even with one person, with simple clear instructions.
So far it seems very easy to use and though there are variations on the exercises you can do it’s a good beginners machine as you can start with the basics, then build up if you chose.

Bought for my wife, she seems to like.
Essy to put together, quality seems OK.

I like the machine but I thought there should have been a video with it as shown on the shopping channel, which I couldn’t order from as I live in the Isle of Man. They told me I had to order through amazon.

This workout equipment is very good, however the food plan is not in English, I’m not able to follow the food guide that was recommended.
Love the product itself, but mine didn’t come with the workout DVD and or the step by step guide, and the meal plans and instructions werent in English which made it harder then it should have been to assemble.
Easy to put together, seems like a simple but effective piece of exercise equipme
Really good and really works your core.
Exactly like photo.
Good quality easy to use but doesn’t fold up so takes up a lot of space
GOOD FOR A DAY WORK OUT WHILE WATCHING YOUR FAV PROGRAM
Great bit of kit easy to use worth every penny
Product was excellent quickly delivered.
Pity the instructions were in French and German, a little common sense had the machine built in no time though.
No DVD or diet sheet came with it and that was disappointing that is the reason I marked the product down.
Easy to assemble and fits in a small space for excel use
Looking for a new home workout piece?
I can recommend the Twist & Shape
Just completed my first 20 mins on this & I love it, feeling the burn & dripping the sweat.
It’s also good to see an instructor getting sweaty & breathless whilst talking you through while she works out too.
This machine is SO easy to use and makes exercising easy and fun. It’s only 20 minutes a day so it’s easy to fit into your day. The machine is simple to put together and very light so can moved easily. Even my husband has started using it and he is not one for exercise machines – he uses it to improve his golf swing and general fitness. The DVD is motivating and keeps you going. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone who hates the gym and just wants something quick and easy.

Arrived on time, very easy to assemble, not used yet but plan on doing so today.
I bought this exercise machine for my sons birthday and had it sent to his house for convenients. I was very disappointed that it had a picture of it on the side of the box so no birthday surprise. He has started using it so I can’t comment yet on wether he finds it. Works it not yet. It seams to be quite sturdy and is easy to use and easy to assemble.
Great fun but takes up a lot of space in a small cluttered room
great so easy to do much better than our old stepper easy to put togethe
I have a medical condition which affects my balance. I was reliably advised that twisting exercise would benefit me. I am pleased to report that while this device does challenge my balance issues , it enables me to train in a safe way and is sufficiently taxing to build up a sweat and provide a CV routine to compliment my weight training . No need to risk falling off my bike any more!
My wife loves it. She does find it hard work though!
Great piece of equitment ..easy to use but assemble instructions and how to use instructions r all in foreign…..would be great if they supplied it in english
Relatively easy to put together but some washers missing or something. Been looking for twisters in gyms for the past 20yrs so eventually ordered one for home use. Is great. But – NB – don’t get TOO enthusiastic/don’t get dancy on it – I did & it fell over with me on it – ouch! I weigh 61kg.
I like this product and if you use it correctly it is very effective. It was a lot larger than I thought the foot plate alone is quite a size and I had hoped the support would be more collapsible. It came with an instructions leaflet, unfortunately this was in French and German, not rocket science to put together but as there was no DVD to follow I have to guess from the few pictures in the leaflet as to the correct actions to use this equipment. Even so really like it.

This fantastic piece of equipment only took me half a hour to put together. All the instructions were in English and all parts and fittings are very clearly numbered and diagramed in the manual. I even comes with the battery supplied for the monitor. I was twisting away as soon as I set it up. Super easy to use, and comes with an excercise chart and one week diet chart too with a workout CD. It is as easy to use as you see it on TV. I haven’t used any keep fit equipment since I was 18 years old. I am now 48, and this twist and shape has awakened my enthusiasm to step on and work out for 30mins a time, or 10mins each time I walk into the room. It’s really Fun to use! I feel like a child in the playground running towards the Roundabout (something that you don’t see in park playgrounds anymore).
Very easy to assemble . Fun to use, just neeed to remember not to overdo like me lol Start slowely otherwise you’ll end up with chiropracters visits lol
I’ve only just got it but I do like it. Took me about an hour to put together but I do have a broken thumb so was hindered. It was easy to build, its only the handle really, the rest is ready to go and the screws etc were very clearly labelled and came with a handy spanner and cool little alun key which has a screwdriver end. I just had my first proper go and it does feel like its working, stretches my tummy (main reason I bought it!) and works my legs. It is quite gentle but you can ramp it up by going on the balls of your feet or following some of the squatting or leg lifting exercises they recommend. Came with a DVD and a basic eating plan, just a reminder you need to stop stuffing pie and chocolate in your face (yup that’s me). I lost about a stone by myself just eating proper food, not crap. I want to use this to tone up and not kill myself in the process. Hubby uses our cross trainer but looks a bit full on for me, something to work towards and keep the twist n shape for toning. I would recommend if you’re wanting to sort yourself out and aren’t really a fitness geek. For the money I think its pretty well made, sturdy and doesn’t take up much room. Remember to take the knobbly thing out of the back of the foot plate, its there to stop it swinging while you’re assembling it. Would recommend…hope it turns me into Kate Moss!! 4 stars because of the putting together bit but I like it.
I am using it 4 times a week for the past two weeks. I am beginning to feel the change in the middle.
Great machine. Easy to put together and a great workout.
Well I bought this product as i had previously bought the wonder core…..but it was hurting my lumbar because of where it was resting on it.
The above turned up. It didn’t take to long in the end to put together, but it was a little confusing at first. Well though I haven’t had much chance to use it. What I have done on it I love. i think if i do it as per the instructions, and regularly it will definitely make a difference.
Great product. Happy day!!
Twist and shout machine okay but the calorie counter computer does not work other than that fine
This machine arrived before time and in perfect condition, I have found this twist and shape easy to set up and use, it also gives you a cardio workout as well, I always feel a bit puffed after about 8-10 mins of using it. I would definitely recommend the twist and shape, I have it in my conservatory, and it doesn’t take up much room.
I’m slim, body fit and over 60. My better half is unfit, overweight and over 65. I bought this for him to try and get a bit fitter – ideal as somewhere to start I thought. After a few short sessions he says it’s working and I’m glad to report he’s still breathing and has shown great interest! Easy to use, easy to build up – what more could you want? I have used it too and can report for those fitter a good workout. I conclude therefore suitable for all levels – do as much as you can or need. All in all great product I would recommend.
I was a little dubious about this but my wife wanted it. Upon using it for 5 minutes my wife was out of breath and very warm, so I have to say it really does work and as there is no impact work outs no one is going to get hurt. The workout sheets and DVD are very well made and give clear instructions to get the most out of this device.
Clever design to allow so many exercises to be done with one machine.
I wanted something to help trim my belly as I get older and other cardio didn’t have much impact. That was my first mistake, this isn’t a cardio machine! It is a tool to aid “core” work outs but is really for vertical sit-ups so control and precision are very important.
Took me a few uses to realise I was getting no benefit, so I slowed down and tried to think about every twist as a sit-up and make sure my core was controlling movement not my arms. I’m getting better at it and think that I have much more improving to do and it will start to help but I’m not there yet (had it around 2 months and been on it about 20 times – OK perhaps I am a bit rubbish at it).
I initially thought the video was good but it was a bit light on how to get the best out of this machine, still good to see how the basic few exercises should be carried out and I guess watching it whilst working out would help.
Couple of negatives:
1. Eating plan – thought this was poor and a get-out for the effectiveness of the machine.
2. The counter is on the twist plate so you almost have to stop to check the info. I use it mainly for time and because the display cycles cannot keep the display on the time. So when checking the time I have to stop for a good few seconds until the time shows.
3. I’d prefer a resistance control to increase the effort and benefit
Big positives:
1. Used correctly you will feel the burn in the right places. For this to be effective you have to fully twist in the opposite direction your upper and lower body, it’s easy not to fully extend which won’t get you much benefit. Same with the high intensity exercises, done correctly they are tough!
2. Nice and easy to set-up.
3. Feels robust (I’m just over 14 stone).
4. Minimal impact upon joints – good news for people wanting to keep fit at all ages
5. I actually find it more fun than cardio like cross fit
4 stars, probably 4.5/5 to be more precise, as I do recommend this product.
Having a disability that affects my joints and balance, I have searched for many years to find a suitable exercise machine that doesn’t make my physical problems worse.
The Thane Twist and Shape Full Body Workout machine has proved not only to help my physical problems by working on core strength but also it is incredibly enjoyable to use too.
As the repetition of each exercise only lasts a maximum of one minute each, it doesn’t get boring or uninteresting.
I have been so pleased with it, that I have recommended it to several friends, all of whom have purchased the product and agree with me 100%.
Fabulous!
The machine is very good if you follow the DVD. I exchanged it for a new one because it makes a squeaky noise that’s the only downfall it does become annoying but I will still recommend it if you follow the instructions you’ll feel healthier in few days
2 person needed to set it up. Not heavy to move from room to room and does not take up a lot of room. Been using just over a month. Every 3 days I do the 20 minutes plus the high active work out and in between I do a gentle 5 minutes. I have not changed my diet and have since then lost 1/2 stone in weight with inches reduced from my waist and thighs.
Product arrived yesterday, 2 days after ordering! Easy clear instructions to assemble. I am 60+ and found playing the accompanying DVD whilst exercising and working up a sweat, achievable. I couldn’t find any cool down exercises on the DVD though, so just copied the warm-ups again, although they are in the accompanying user manual. Package also includes Rapid Start 14 day diet sheet, with a shopping list of produce! Impressive & though out piece of kit.
The twist and shape is the best excersier I have ever bought. Where as most are boring and interest is lost very quickly, this is fun ,especially if you put you music on when doing it. Also the benefits can be felt almost immediately. I am 77 years old and find it is brilliant as you can use it standing up.A big bonus.Highly recommended whatever your age.
