I tore my hamstring earlier this year. I needed something for heel slides. This is long enough, wide enough and has bars for placement of bands/ resistance. The wheel quality is good and the bearings run smooth. It is durable, easy to use, and can be flipped with the apex of the 90 degree angle beam up or down.

I am a cyclist and ordered the Lifeswell Glute Glider to help out in the winter months when I'm not riding as often. The unit arrived and I was actually shocked at how heavy the package was!The glider is definitely well made. It is solidly built with wheels that easily roll on my carpet. Unlike the ab rollers of the 90s, this will allow you to work on multiple different muscle sets...not just abs or glutes. The unit glides smoothly so that you can get continuous, but controlled, movement. I was worried that the wheels would allow the unit to roll out of my control but they don't at all. The design of the wheel position is great as they are centered so you can turn it over and the wheels move just as well.The only problem I have is the design. While the frame as a whole is great, the V bar in the center isn't very ergonomic at all. You can't really work with it barefoot as the metal isn't comfortable. Even when I tried to use it for planks as more of an ab roller type machine with the V upside down, it was uncomfortable without some padding. I am not so good with upper body strength yet but if you are and can use the side bars which are a lot more comfortable.Overall, I think this is a good home workout tool. You can do a bunch of different exercises with a single machine and then store it under your bed or coffee table easily. I do wish the V bar was better designed or just padded some, but I can come up with a solution (or just wear shoes when doing glute exercises). It is VERY well made and heavy duty so it's going to last which is why I think that the $60 price tag isn't outrageous at all.

Designed well and built nicely. Welds and powder coat appears to be done with high quality. Performs as advertised with additional functionalities. This product beats the competition and a no brainer when it comes to bang for your buck.

I'll be honest- I giggled a little when I saw this described as an 'ab roller'. I had at least 5 of those when they were the rage, each one no different from the last- all junk that was difficult to use and broke pretty quick. But this is absolutely NOTHING like those old, awkward rollers. Not only does this make the ab roller 'crunch' much easier to do (while still being effective), it allows for a variety of hand placements, each targeting a different area of the abs. But the icing on the cake is that this piece of equipment is excellent and effective for other muscle groups as well. This has honestly made me tone up my glutes quicker and with less effort than years of squats and lunges! This device is no fad- it's the real deal!This arrived quick, with the device well packaged and protected in a studry box. The box itself is heafty, so before I even opened it, I knew this was going to be a studry piece. There is some light assembly, that is easy and takes less than 5 minutes.Quality wise, this is everything I could ask for.The super studry, thick steel pieces are virtually indestructible, with super clean welds and nice, smooth edges. The powder coated coating is clean looking, helps get and maintain a good grip and keeps the pieces protected from scratches and...falling kettle bells. Yes, this actually happened. A 15lb bell slipped from my grip landing directly on the side corner of this piece. I anticipated damage, despite knowing how solid this is, but to my suprise, shock and amazement, there was not a single scratch and the structure and functionality was completely unscathed. This is, undeniably, built like a rock. Even the wheels, which I thought were too small at first, are fantastic. They are studry, dense and rubbery so they grip floors well (hardwoods- without scratches), gym mats and even carpet) and glide smoothly, allowing you max control of your movements so you can make every one count.This isn't a gimmicky piece of workout equipment that promises an easy workout quick with little effort. There are no shortcuts with this and the only thing that's easy is how easy this makes targeting specific muscles. You work your butt off with this piece, for sure, but you are in complete control of the super targeted workouts which leads to quicker results.I'll add that, on top of the already impressive muscles this is advertised to target and the workouts that are shown, we pretty quickly found new ways to incorporate this into our workouts. The sturdiness, quality and durability have allowed us to take chances and try new things. Dare I say that it's not only fun but exciting to use this and find new ways to put it to use.Despite the flashback and laugh I originally had when I saw this, thinking of the cheep plastic ab rollers of old, I'm really VERY happy I took a chance on this. It's a worthy piece of equipment on our home gym that collects no dust, as it is very effective.As for the price, I feel like $55 is super reasonable, a deal even! I'm aware that there are others that cost a but less but I can assure you that THIS ONE HERE is the real deal. Don't gamble on an unknown to save a few dollars, and don't spend more for another piece either. I'm quite opinionated, as you can probably tell and I can't think of any way that this piece could be improved or better, so more money doesn't equal better quality. Just order this already and see for yourself how amazing it is!*Quick note-I'm the first to admit that my reviews are incredibly long, reading more like a blog than a brief summary. I take my responsibility as a Viner seriously and share all details, good and bad and I'm always honest. Plus, I'm an avid reader of reviews myself and read them before almost every purchase, big or small. So I like to return the favor so many others have afforded to me, including all the details I would want to see myself before spending my hard earned money. I hope this has helped make your decision easier.

A very simple but effective piece of equipment. It's not the most comfortable for my hands - I do have to use some form of padding if I'm using it as an ab roller, but I much prefer this glider to some of the other (junky) equipment out there. It looks and feels to be well made and it glides smoothly, even on carpet. I really feel like I'm getting a good workout, whether I'm using it for abs or legs.This glider is versatile, very effective and easy to store. It's a great addition to my home gym and I'm very happy with it.

Sturdy, but the wheels were assembled so poorly that it was out of alignment, and the metal literally shaved off wheel rubber every pass. Returned.

I ordered the Glute Ham Glider to help me workout my glutes. The Glider arrived quickly and safely. This is a very sturdy piece of equipment. It glides smoothly on the floor and easily supports my 230 pounds. I have been using it for about a month now, and am beginning to see the difference in my glutes, abs and even my legs.This is a very versatile piece of equipment. You can use it to exercise your abs, glutes, legs, etc…It works, and is easy to use as you decide how much to push yourself. I keep it easily stored under my bed. I break it out in the early evening, turn the TV on and do about a 10 to 15 minutes workout. Be careful not to over do the exercises. The first time I worked out on it, I was sore for about a week, lol!I absolutely love The Glute Ham Glider; it is easy to store, works out your core and bottom half of your body effectively, it is easy to use and is very well made.
