As Seen On The Tube

My first reaction to the Red Exerciser was you have got to be joking. This thing is nothing more then a swiveling office chair with handles and supposed resistance.

However like all of the other sheep out there I got suckered in to the “university studies” and the hype ad had to give it a try. Wow was I stuck with a huge case of buyers regret. In theory the Red Exerciser should work, but frankly they completely botched the execution of the product.

The number one problem that kills this system is that there is next to no resistance for the swivel action. Seriously I have sat in office chairs that needed a shot of WD40 and they had more resistance than the Red Exerciser.

With all that said I only tried out the entry level exerciser, there are two other versions that are supposed to be better and that claim to have more resistance and the advanced version hold more weight and have a much better looking seat as well. These may be worth a try.

The included workout DVD is nice and adds to the value of the Red Exerciser, but not that much. Definitely not enough for this ugly swiveling chair to command the price the manufacturer thinks is fair. As for sitting in front of the TV and working out forget about it.

Red Exerciser only works, in a very modest way, if you give it your full attention and follow the workout routine. Half assed swiveling while watching Desperate Housewives wont do anything but make you a little dizzy. If the manufactures of Red Exerciser ever add more resistance to the product then they may be on to a clever idea, but until then there is no way that anyone should pay more then $40 for this unattractive glorified red chair.
