You know many say it doesnt work. I Have been going to the gym since i was 13 i’m 26 now, and the pumps I Get from the shakeweight are amazing. I even felt the same burning sensation in my triceps as going to the gym. don’t say something doesnt work until you try it

I bought mine from walmart and for the first 6 weeks i just used it once a week for a minute or two. about two weeks ago I decided to try it for 30 days 4-6 mins a day. I can see the difference in my arms and shoulder . I was one of the naysayers . I called shake weight snake oil in beginning but glad I tried it .

Hi, it’s incredible how popular this product got to be. Almost 300 comments here and a similar amount on another pretty skeptical review on http://www.worldofdiets.com/shake-weight/

Wasn’t this supposed to be a joke?

Thought this product looked ridiculous. Anyone with common sense should be skeptical of this kind of thing. My brother got one of these, and unfortunately, he developed a neurological condition, and it never came out of the box. He gave it to me. I am surprised that it actually works. Of course only on the arms ans shoulders in my case, but I works. You will see that to be true if you try it. That’s the proof.

[...] but at the bottom of each of these warning reviews you’ll find comments like: Mando says: January 12, 2011 at 7:41 pm [...]

I think the reason some don’t see results in the shake weight is that they are shaking the weight as opposed to keeping arms relatively still while controlling the shaking of the weights. The controlling of the weights as they make the inertia is what makes it a workout. Look at all the demonstration videos and you’ll notice the person is not shaking their arms with the weights, but keeping their arms constant. Also in the long run your body will adapt to any workout that it is given repeatedly.

to Hmmmm, I took the plunge after making fun out of this product initially (as it looks ridiculous) my arms are really weak and I know I should exercise to improve them but to be honest I am lazy! As it was only 6 mins as a routine I thought – what the heck i’ll shop around to find a cheap seller and have a go! I brought mine for £9.00 which i’m not sure in $maybe 12? a lot cheaper than Amazon was selling. I am quite impressed. I have had it for about 5 weeks and my arms are a lot stronger-perhaps I could have achieved the same with plain ol dumbells but at the moment I am happy working out with this! I hope this helps

My only problem is with the company itself. I purchased the shakeweight last week, and this week my phone is ringing off the hook (Literally at least 15 times a day) with them telling me it should be here any day now (duh, I know, I have a tracking number) and then trying to get me to provide my credit card number so I can sign up for some stupid thing for $30 a month. This alone turned me off (that they are trying to get more money, or sold my information to another company and then trying to scam me into punching my credit card number into the phone key pad) so I am returning it unused and will most likely just order it from Amazon.

Also, I ordered directly from the shakeweight website. I didn’t go through a third party and I should have known better than to order from an infomercial website. I immediately called my bank after and reported my atm lost so they couldn’t charge it the $30 a month (I did not agree to it, but I did answer ‘Yes’ when they asked if this was **name** – never know how they can edit that)

I know this is not a review on the product itself, but I don’t want others to get scammed out of $30 a month that can be used on groceries or gas.

Let me see if I understand this correctly: if you like the product and think it works, you’re a company plant and/or stupid, but if you hate it and trash it you’re a legitimate consumer and/or fitness expert? Well, it’s nice to see how open-minded and tolerant everyone is when opinions vary.

I’ve tried to find decent reviews of this product but all I find is article after article with the very same comments, some even verbatim. It makes me think ALL the comments are plants, both positive and negative. Who’s paying you to do this all these “reviews” and how can I get involved? /sarcasm
