DynaMax Pro Trainer 12086PC Core Strengthening System

You need some time to control the Dynamax properly. During the first trails you have to learn how to speed up the turning part. After some days of the move training you will love the Dynamax. I think there is no training tool exisiting at all to provide so much efficient training within minutes. Shipping to germany was within 3 days - this is world class !

Nice tool for exercising the upper body.But it has a cord for starting only. Product desciption says it should have a electric starter. the quality is low I guess and the gyro will last not so long. First damage will be on the starter cord because inside the cord is touching the gyro some times.Therefore only 3 stars. Add after 3 months of use: Now after 3 moths of intensive use the cord is broken and the Dynamax is not useable anymore. He is producing rattling noises and last days he was hard to get it running. Maybe as described before some low quality product, will start investigation for a better Dynamax Pro Trainer.I will give no recommendation for this training equipment. Now 20th Feb. 2013 received new Dynamax from Ironpower and it is the original product. First holding in my hands totally different in shape and weight, first start and excersise very easy is running smooth and easy building up speed very fast and easy too. The Twin gyro looks totally different from the other one I have ordered here in Amazon store. Recommend only the original german product, lost now 248 US$ but it is worth now to have this perfect working tool in my hands. Will reduce the stars to minus 3 (-3) Paying cheap things may lead that you pay double on the end.....

When the product works it is a ridiculous workout. I want to cry after 5 minutes of use. The concept is outstanding and I really want to recommend this but DFX Sports cut too many corners when making it. It worked for 2 minutes the first day I got it until I increased the RPM's to level stupid, I heard a grinding noise and the gyro scraped to a halt. After trying for several more days to get it started again, I decided I might not be as uncoordinated as I feared so I called DFX Sports. They had me send it back so they could fix it. They did their magic and when I received it, it worked awesome. I used it at level stupid for 10 minutes at a time, 3 times a day and realized it was getting harder to start with each use. By the third day I couldn't start it anymore. I noticed the starter string was frayed exactly how the other reviewers said it would. I also noticed bits of dust from the starter string coating the gyro wheel and the inside of the globe. I sent it back again and they replaced the string, sanded down the rough spots in the handle and cleaned it up. It works now but I can't always get it started. It is extremely difficult to start but when it does it is an amazing and terrible workout. In my opinion this product is still not there. 200 bucks is way to much to pay for something with so many factory and engineering defects. I would recommend waiting until they redesign this crap and release the 3.0 version (this is apparently the next gen model after a failed electric starter version). In fact, I insist you not buy this. If you buy it now, these dicks will think they have a successful product and they won't even bother improving it. Do not reward incompetence, step away from the product page. buy the red gyro ball from kernpower instead. Why are you still reading? get away! log off! Stop looking at me! I got nothing else! This is an update; I just spent the entire hour after I typed the review above trying to start the dynamo piece of stick. I hate it with every fiber of my being. I want to light the plastic piece of poop on fire, I want it to be a bubbling pile of goo in the middle of my sidewalk. It will not start! I've done it before many times, started it right up, but not this godforsaken time! I'm leaving two stars in this review only so you take me seriously when I tell you to forsake this worthless product! Maybe I will have better luck tomorrow and update this review again but right now I would not consider you a lesser person if you sent this company a box of poop.

Had to send it back because it was not working properly. Reading over the reviews I decided it was better to buy the more expensive model. Overall be away that this product may not last due to the positioning of the pull cord. The more expensive version solves this problem.
