“This is a quality product. I bought it train to for climbing. My grade is 6A (french) and I chose the Extra Heavy exerciser which I'm happy with. I use the beast maker app (£1.99 and also good value) to set training sessions at the 6A level and the extra heavy exerciser is tough. I can't finish the exercises at present (I'm on day 2 of training) I get about half way through. But that's the idea of training, this will give me plenty of room for progression whereas one of the easier exercisers would probably have been too easy. I'm also out of shape from not climbing for 2 months. Hope that helps. M”
“Tension in the springs is around the level I wanted but the actions of the individual moving parts does not move very fluidly and sometimes sticks, making the action of the spring less effective. This is because the metal shafts that support the springs move against the plastic chassis and there is too much friction between these. Your fingers naturally produce lots of lateral as well as vertical force, thus causing this problem. I will try using bike chain oil but it disappoints me that this product hasn't been engineered to reduce this obvious problem.”
“This is the second one of these that I have owned and generally I quite like them they are useful for recovery/endurance. I am slightly disappointed with the one I received though - the pinky finger always sticks, rather than running smoothly, which makes it quite annoying (and squeaky) to use.”
