Product Description
Akrowheels are a complete, whole-body toning system in a lightweight package. The brainchild of two fitness trainers and competitive athletes who noted how using the athlete’s own body weight resulted in killer bodies. These tools provide an amazing core workout, improve flexibility with unique dynamic stretches, and dramatically sculpt the upper body. The wheels allow for more push up variations and hit the abs from more angles (read: more results) than any other tool on the market. They are equally suited for women and men of all fitness levels.- No more crunches: roll your way to trim, flat abs and a strong core - Total Body Workout in minutes a day- Quicker, better results: tone all of the muscles of the midsection at the same time- Navy SEAL approved exercises- Instructional DVD includes 3 full workouts

 Nice evolution from single ab wheel August 23, 2010
ExistentialEgg (PA)
I was intrigued by the dual wheel, pair design of this product. I've used a standard ab wheel for years. I have to say, this product really is a nice evolution. I like the freedom of having two independent pieces so I can do more adaptive and unique moves. For instance today I was doing ab extensions (holding the wheels and going straight out like I would with a single ab wheel) and I thought.. hmmm.. why not try pushing my arms out in a V so I work my lats and shoulders more too? That's what I really like about these. Instead of feeling stuck with only a few moves you can really get experimental. Just BE CAREFUL! Obviously if you start experimenting you could hurt yourself.
The DVD has a lot of interesting exercises and the website has even more. All in all I'm quite happy with them. I've had them for a few weeks and the build quality seems pretty good. I was worried since a few reviews talk of them breaking.
 great for further strength and core building July 20, 2010

Great! I use them at the gym and everyone curious enough would come and want to try. But warning: u MUST already have the strength to use them or u will find ur face kissing the ground, literally. I primarily use them as chest flys (in a push up position, open my arms out at the same time and bringing them back in) and working as an ab-wheel, which is also a great product too but this one just makes it a taaaaad bit harder (no really, it's harder). I'm sure if u are strong enough and creative enough, u can think of other exercises to do... but once u grab the wheels and they are on the ground, they run away based on a tiny shift of ur body weight so u must hold it completely steady and tight. I JUST LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Wish it can be cheaper tho.
Great Product June 28, 2010

I have been purchasing equipment to allow me to workout at home rather than the gym. The AKROwheels looked like an interesting product. I have been very happy with the variety of movements and level of difficulty that can be created with these. Much more so then a regular ab wheel. If you are looking for something to work your abs I highly recommend these.

I like the AKROwheel because its portable and it gives me a different way to work my abs and body. I am a bit uneasy doing pushups on it from the other reviews of the wheel breaking, but it seems like its pretty sturdy so far.
The best way to get a workout from these is to watch various videos on line, otherwise, you might get bored with them.
Fair price for what it does. Im happy I bought mine.
 Broken wheel after first use. May 16, 2010

After my first, minimal, use, a wheel broke off.
There appears to be a metal plate (poorly) welded to the ends of the, hollow, metal hand holds (which are covered in foam) to which the wheel is attached by a screw.
This seems to be an intrinsically poor design choice, given the normal stresses that would be placed on the wheel.
I recommend avoiding this product as failure at a inopportune moment might cause injury.
I returned mine for a refund.
