After a note to the BBB who then contacted SW with my complaint…SW credited my CC the SW purchase price and P&H.

Wow, that’s a pretty embarrassing admission.

I saw this on Ellen and thought it was a joke then I picked it up at Walmart to give it a try not expecting much and I was really surprised. You can feel it in your arms, you really tire them out. My arms weren’t toned at all and I am already seeing a difference after a month, doing it 3 times a week.

I have been using the mens shake weight for about a week now and i am impressed. Two 30 second sets for each workout was about all i could handle. Many people have been bad mouthing this thing but I don’t think they were using it correctly. watch the video, do the full workout if you can, and LOCK YOUR WRISTS!! Out of a score of 100 I would probably give it a score between 80-85. Very good product when used properly.

There are a few problems here: the girl’s version is supposed to give you long and feminine muscles, the guys version is supposed to get you bulky and muscular. Which is it?

However, I did find some positive testimonials on it as well. This review http://www.worldofdiets.com/shake-weight/ , which seems to be balanced, has over 100 comments at the end by people who used the Shake Weight. It shows how some love it and some hate it. I can’t quite figure out why or how

Jeff,

Out of these reviews, you pick mine to comment about…why thank you.
Jeff, it’s the principal of the whole issue with the company. Just poor business PR on their part. By the way the total was $35.85. The company advertises free? shipping and handling…but then they charge postage and handing. What’s free about that?

to all of you jocks and other people that slam this product and other light work out equipment did you ever think about people that have been in a bad wreck or some thing like that when they can no longer go to a gym or lift alot of weight but want to get in better shape or just get moving a little bit at a time the shake weight is great for that kind of thing I mean use your brain no one really thinks their going to get huge with the shake weight just toned up a little and not every one wants to be a big muscle head I had my arm,hand and fingers ripped off in a motorcycle wreck and very lucky to have had it all put back on and have about 90% of use the shake weight and some rubber work out balls got my arm and hand back in working condition and because of all the screws and rods holding me back together I can no longer lift very heavy things so this worked for me hope this helps some one out there and good luck to any one trying to get in better shape

I bought my shake weight for $20 dollars at Walgreens. I’ve lost 60 pounds since March with cardio, strength training, and proper diet. I am not big on lifting weights yet…I usually stick with some 3 pound hand weights but I was very interested in the shake weight from the moment I saw it on tv. I found out they had them at my local Walgreens and bought one right away. I had used it here and there for a few minutes just shaking it in different positions the when I bought it last week, but I have done the dvd twice daily for the past 4 days and I don’t see any results yet, but I feel them tremendously! I am going to continue to do it once or twice daily because I am trying to get myself in better shape for an upcoming wedding. I haven’t been using it very long, but I do feel that if I (or anyone else trying to lose weight/tone up) continue to do cardio, weight training, proper diet and use the shake weight, you will get maximum results!!

You gave a great explanation not just on this product but your knowledge of strength and muscle training/building and I want to say thank you!
