DESCRIPTION
Who does not want to get a flat, firm stomach, with well shaped abs and those without killing themselves by doing repetitive abs. This is a common goal among people who train. However, going to the gym regularly does not always bring the desired results as quickly as desired. And in most cases, one wonders if there is a device to achieve your fitness goal.
Like a lot of people you want to shed those unwanted belly pounds and you are looking for the easy way. This is what the inventors of the Dual Shaper understood. The Gym Form Dual Shaper Belt, is marketed as a muscle toning and fat burning device, which claims to help achieve that flat, toned stomach that so many people desire. In addition to strengthening the abdominal belt, this GymForm device would treat the presence of excess superficial fat on the stomach, which conventional abdominal exercises fail to do effectively. By combining electrical muscle stimulation and vibration, the Dual Shaper belt also claims to improve blood circulation. It therefore seems that the Gymform Dual Shaper is the perfect tool to tone, firm and eliminate this excess fat. But as we are used to doing on MCS, we'll put it to the test to see if it really works and if it really delivers on what it promises.
Product Description
The GymForm Dual Shaper System is a belt that combines two well-known technologies: muscle electrostimulation and vibration. So you get the benefits of two forms of movement in one belt. So you get fast muscle contractions and surface vibrations which are designed to stimulate the abs and also target belly fat and love handles. Muscle electrostimulation or EMS function, emits electrical impulses causing the muscles to contract in order to tone them and shape your abdominals. The Vibration, by massaging the area, increases blood circulation and eliminates fat located on the abdomen while firming and avoiding flaccidity. There is no stress or tension with the Dual Shaper. Just put on the belt, push a button and relax. The belt is advertised as being discreet and comfortable and easy to use anytime and anywhere. For example, you can use it at home while you watch TV, read in bed or work on your computer . In addition to the abdominal area you can also use it around your legs to stimulate your quadriceps or on your back for a comforting and painless massage. 5 programs are available, each with 30 manually adjustable intensity levels: Program 1 - Toning. Lasts 21 minutes. Use the vibrator simultaneously. Program 2 - Reducer (20 min) Program 3 - Silhouette (24 min) Program 4 - Calories Burning (24 min) Program 5 - Reaffirming (22 min) There are also 2 vibration modes: manual or automatic with 5 intensity levels for each.
Offered for around € 50 on e-commerce sites, the product often comes with a one-year warranty.
By opening the box, you quickly understand that you will have to be near a socket because the device works only on the mains. We think by buying it that its used with batteries and that it leaves us autonomous. It is not so. In fact, in home shopping shows, the mains wire that connects to the electrical outlet is hidden in the belt. It is simply false advertising. And from a security point of view, it is not very reassuring to use it you think you will be electrocuted at any time. However, versions are offered with a box that can accommodate batteries, but it is impossible to make it work with them ... The device switches off directly. In addition, we did not have a diet plan included in our box, certainly an oversight given that the ads mention a plan is provided. On the other hand, the transport bag was very present.
Reliability
It is a device that has no reliability. It no longer works two months after purchase when it was only used intensely for 3 weeks. We have since seen on the forums that this reliability issue is often brought up. Among the other comments that we found, some also mentioned that after prolonged use (6 months), the display on the screen disappears and that the + and - settings buttons respond in a completely random fashion. Still more that after a few months, the wire which connects to the mains socket inevitably ended up being damaged ( it strips very quickly), making it unusable. You can find many other comments like these on the web.
Effectiveness
When it comes to weight loss, the product clearly does not keep its promises. We used it for half an hour a day for almost 3 weeks and saw no difference. EMS or electrostimulation cannot target the fat in your belly under any circumstances. In any case, no study to date proves it. So to the question is it effective for weight loss, and even though we only used it for 3 weeks, the answer is no. Regarding muscle toning and skin tightening, on the other hand, effects are visible and noticeable after a week. We used it for the abdominals as well as the glutes or thighs.
Use
The manual is not very practical and not well explained. No indication of duration is provided by the manufacturer, so it is impossible to know how many sessions are necessary to obtain a result. The use itself is quite easy and quick. You just need to choose a program and its intensity via the box.
EMS mode does not work very well due to spacing and contact. We expected several points of contact, apart from there are only two and fixed. In our opinion, the electrodes are too close together, and if you position the belt on the buttocks it will target the inter- buttocks which is of little use. For the abs (despite the concentration on the navel) and the thighs, however, it targets the muscles quite well. The mechanical part works well however.
In operation, the device is a bit noisy with the "vibration" function. but it's still correct.
Another thing that is not mentioned is that you should change the electrodes every 30 uses (ideally). Knowing that they can last longer. But of course no home shopping show bother to mention it. And at 12 euros a package, it quickly becomes very expensive.
We also regret that it is not clearly stated before purchasing that people with vascular, heart or other problems ... are careful about its use or even not to use it.

BOTTOM LINE
The Gymform Dual Shaper is a very disappointing product. This device does not really work and is expensive for the benefits it offers. Remember that products sold through marketing are often not that effective. You only lose weight with hard work and not with instant fixes. As we expected, this device doesn't keep its promises and the only thing it's going to make you lose is money. So don't waste it.
