Stealth Core Deluxe Trainer - Turn Fitness Into a Fun Game - Get Strong Sexy Abs and Lean Core Playing Games On Your Phone; Free iOS/Android App; 4 Free Mobile Games Included; Dynamic Abs & Core Training; Only 3 Minutes a Day

To be honest, I didn't have particularly high hopes for this, I was hoping it would encourage me to do a few extra planks but I didn't expect to actively enjoy it!It's hard work and more difficult than a static plank because of the moving surface but because you're engrossed in the game you make the effort for far longer than you would do otherwise. Can really feel it working the abs, legs and arms. Not just another gimmicky piece of home equipment that will end up in the loft, this is a real bit of work out kit that's actually fun into the bargain.

Worth every penny app easy to download and does exactly what you'd expect

This is a nice tool to train your core while having fun. Planks are great, but can be quite boring, so if you don't mind spending the money, I'd say it's worth buying this. I just got it, but I have no reason to doubt that it delivers what it promises - a way to make your core exercises more fun.However - and this is very important - my advice is to be very, very careful while you're a new user. Others have said, and I second it, that it's easy to slam your fingers very hard if you are holding onto the edges. When your core muscles get tired, your body tends to fall to the side, and if you're gripping the edges, you can crush your fingers with all your body weight. I suggest to never hold onto the edges, at least until you get stronger and can control it better. Another thing is your elbows - make sure you put your Stealth on top of a yoga mat or a soft carpet. Because, again, when you fall to the side, you may fall on your elbow instead of your fingers. I did the first time I used it, and slammed my elbow very hard on a tile floor. I wouldn't be surprised to hear about people fracturing their bones this way. Believe me, this is no joke. I'm surprised there are no warnings about this, and people are shown holding onto the edges in all promotional videos and photos, but believe me, it's not that simple. The company should pay more attention to this and either improve the design, or include proper warnings. It would be a shame if this ruined an otherwise nifty device.

Love it

Innovation

The product is sturdy and well made. However I’ve marked it down because the app only allows you to use 2 simple games then you have to pay 25 dollars PER ANNUM if you want to use the other games. Sadly a rip-off for this reason. I’m thinking of returning it. I notice the board I received is also pre-used as it has sellotape on the corners of the instruction card

great idea of the intregated games /apps but beware this is where your scammed they have two poorly made games with no more on the horizon is a shame because with out that aspect its just a cheap bit of plastic with a big price tag

Everything about the SCT Deluxe rates a 100% to me. It is high quality, and well thought out. The Stealth App Core games are really fun and also well though out. I've worked through playing about half of them, and each new one i play becomes my favorite. I hate Asteroid games, but the Stealth Asteroid game is a blast to play. Great bang for the buck. Don't hesitate to get the paid for version of the Stealth App.As an aside on the Stealth app, I use the Stealth App with every core exercise I can. For example I use it with the SpineGym, and play their core games. I hold my phone up in-front of me and :I can pass the time away. By positioning the phone in the correct orientation for the game, you can control lhe game with your core movement.

I considered buying this for over a year and finally splurged for my upcoming birthday. As I get older, I try and invest in my health each year and this was my 41st year's purchase. Last year's was a yoga wheel and I use it religiously. Anyway...I went with the orange option which was the mid-range in their line up (yellow=cheapest, orange=mid, green=pro).I gave myself two weeks to love or hate it, as I do with any major purchase or change. I knew I would be sore for weeks as my core muscles are weak, at best.I could only hold a pose for three seconds on the first day and that was after numerous attempts. Three seconds. However, I knew I could improve this. I downloaded the app. Getting into a game took over a minute which seemed silly as I was only able to do hold the pose for mere seconds. So I skipped the game the first few times. My husband, who can easily hold a plank on this board for over two minutes, detested the app. I would need to press it for him and we could not figure out how to stop it. Plus, the games are monotonous. You are either in the sky, on the ground or under water. You use the board to move from side to side, up and down. Seeing the same hot air balloons and trees on repeat gets boring and this is IF the game decides not to glitch.I tried again on day 2. I could now hold a pose for ten seconds. Again, I tried the game. This time I was up in the sky. The game was still taking awhile to load, seconds to click into, seconds to load and the graphics are from the 1990s. I didn't think this would be the most realistic app but it is close to awful. The app is a throwaway app at best.On day 3 I could hold the pose for 20 seconds. I did this several times a day and started to feel my muscles. I gave up on the game after day 3.On day 4 the board smashed my fingers. I realized that unless I could hold the pose perfectly, the board would go to the side. Makes sense as the objective is to hold the pose and gracefully move from side to side. However, anytime I would start to falter, the board would dip to the floor and pin my fingers. This happened over and over. There is no place to put your fingers that they won't get smashed. Perhaps they should have put a little cut out where you need to hold the board? My husband didn't have an issue with this but, again, he can easily hold a plank and move from side to side.I gave it one more day as I was getting a bit stronger. Nope. I gave up. Not on working out but on this piece of equipment. I really think it has potential as it feels well made. I wish I could adjust the tension of the pivot so it didn't swing wildly. There should be a way to keep the board stationary for beginnings. This would also help the smashed finger issue. The app needs fixed, which I'm sure they are aware of as the reviews in the app store are terrible.This is headed back.

My Penn State Football son Testing it out on Christmas Day!! Great Workout! Great Gift for the athletes and gamers in your family!

Ok I am not one to write many reviews as I just don't have the time. I purchased a Stealth trainer (orange version as they have three different ones) through Amazon (you can also purchase from their website for the same price but the shipping times are much longer) and received it this past week. OMG this little machine is so addicting!!! I am a 58 year old female who is looking to strengthen my core and lose about 10 pounds. I have it setting on my office floor and when I walk past it during the day jump on it a few minutes (literally) a day. You can do a minute, two, three, four, five, whatever you can manage. You download the app to play the games during your plank, place your phone in the holder, press start and away you go. Planking has never been so much fun!!! The games and music keep your mind off the fact that you are seriously working out your core. The first day I fell off it like 5 times figuring it out. No biggie just got back on and I did EIGHT minutes on it the other day at one time. Your abs will be sore (a good sore) the next day along with your arms and even my butt. They have a FB group that you can join and the people there are so so nice and share many before and after journey stories about their fitness. Never a bad attitude in the groups, plenty of if you want to do more with your plank videos, plenty of how to use your plank machine videos. Super great machine and support system from real people young and old in all levels of fitness. The phone app has two free games but you can purchase more for $25 if you want with new games that come out every month as well some being harder than others. So much variety making planks fun fun fun. And did I say fun!? lol If you are looking for a workout that is fun and quick and makes you feel like you're turning the clock back internally buy this. You will not regret it. Do your body a favor and just buy it!

Thanks to Serious Keto (Youtube) for reviewing this product. He had the yellow version. I splurged and got the more padded one, red. Her is my own review...I used to workout at Orange Theory about 3-5 times her week. I was in great shape. Life just got in the way and exercise was dropped, and long enough that I gained a lot and lost most of my muscle.Now, I'm committed and making the time. I use an app called FitBod. It provides an exercise routine based on what equipment you have (at home or at a gym) and your past workouts. So, all excited, I get my routine ready. I see the first exercise is the plank. Oh boy! No problem I say. Get down and begin. Yea, it was the shortest exercise in history, about 5 seconds.So when Serious Keto said you can really build up your time quickly because the game is so much fun, I figured OK why not try it.First time doing it and I did it for 30 seconds. I felt I could have done it even longer mainly because I wanted to fly that darn plane! The game gets your mind off the plank completely. It was fun!If you want a game to distract you and make planks fun, this is an easy decision. Get it!
