Hi Ben,
Okay, so the weather was rather dreary on the weekend - perfect for staying inside. Turned on the TV and got hooked into watching a whole infommercial on something called Malibu Pilates for at home use. Of course, everything looks great on TV - and so I started googling for reviews on this product. Anyway, I started thinking, "you know, if Ben reviewed this product, I would take his advice" ...so I'm throwing it out there to you. How about including a section on exercise equipment reviews for those not able to get to a gym.
Your sight is already fantastic and I can see that you puts lot of work into it...perhaps you could list a product, review it and have members vote/recommend based on their own experiences?
Just a thought...and thanks again for your fantastic website! |

Hey Bella!
I think that's a great idea! We've got a few other features that we're working on right now (new full length videos, calorie counter, weight loss journal) but I will definitely add a 'product review' section to the site in the near future. In the meantime, if you want to send me a few product suggestions, I'll start up a new thread in the forums and review them there.
Cheers!  |

Thanks Ben...I love, love the new full length videos!! What's great about your website is that it is never stagnant - always looking for new ways to improve and keep people motivated.
Fantastic...would love for your review on this thing called Malibu Pilates. Basically it looks like a stool/chair that has lower levers in which you can do not only leg lifts, but arms lifts, etc. Supposed to incorporate pilates/cardio. Might be a gimmick...but then again, not. Looks like it's great to use when you can't get to the gym. So...what's the scoop? THANKS!
Cheers right back at ya! |

| I think a fitness product review section is a great idea! I see so many infomercials for different products and it would be nice to know which ones actually work and which ones are just gimmicks. I'm sure most are gimmicks but it would still be nice to know. |

I am always skeptical of the equipment that they show on TV. I would much rather pay my $200/yr for a gym membership. I'd need a bowflex, an elliptical, a rack of Dbells and a flat bench to get the same stuff. Even then, I'd need my dog to spot me. And the space you'll lose! =/
I prefer the sense of community and dedication that you get from going to the gym at 7 am on a Saturday.
Aside from a resistance band and some 25 lbs dumbbells, stay away from the TV stuff...

Hey Rollan,
If you do end up buying one for your girlfriend, even if it's just as a joke, you have to report back and let us all know how she reacts.. I think that would be so funny! |
