Bottom line
As with many fitness equipment, there is always a risk that it is just a gimmick, but the Circle Glide doesn't seem to fit into that category. Fun, playful, original, this device is designed for beginners or people returning to exercise and it does what it claims to do.If you are looking for a device that allows you to work the inner thighs and the glutes, this may be the tool for you. It works well, but its low resistance will quickly limit your progress and like any fitness device, for there to be results, you must use it correctly and regularly, with a healthy diet and complementary physical exercises.

It is therefore on the whole an innovative and affordable and effective product which nevertheless suffers from some faults such as the lack of solidity and too low resistance. In short, the concept is good, the design and durability could be improved. Make sure before you buy this or any other fitness equipment that you really use it and that it doesn't end up in the basement.
With the 5 Minute Shaper, you will have an effective total body workout, but contrary to what the manufacturer claims, you will not get convincing results with just 5 minutes of training per day.Nevertheless, unlike most fitness equipment. abdominals sold on the market (see AB Circle Pro), this 5 Minute Shaper, because it demands your cardiovascular system, will allow you to obtain results.Like the ProForm Ab Glider, we therefore recommend this device to people who want to lose weight, in addition to other exercises and a balanced diet.
