Connect Abs Unisex

I ordered Connect after reading reviews here and elsewhere (non-Amazon reviews). I had been thinking about it for quite a long while, and finally decided to purchase one. I believed that the device worked on a logical principal, so eventually I became convinced it might work for me. My aim was simply to tone and build my core so as to develop better balance. (FYI, I work out at the gym 5-7 days each week, but I focus on aerobic-style activities, elliptical synchro machines and recline bicycling primarily (very little weight lifting).) I have been using it for just over three weeks now, and I can say without a doubt that it works, but as many have mentioned, it is no miracle maker. There are also some caveats buyers should be aware of most of which have been mentioned by others. 1) You really do need to check if your smartphone or i-Pod can use the app. I thought that my smartphone would be fine, but it wasn't. I suggest that you try downloading the app prior to buying the Connect. In fact, that is how I realized my phone wouldn't work. I searched for the app and tried to download it and was greeted with the message that I could not download it. Luckily, I had an i-Pod and the app downloaded from i-Tunes without a hitch (and it works very well). 2) As others have mentioned, you can extend the life of the gel pads by applying gel to them, but I would add that you really don't need a specialized gel. Most gels will work because they conduct electricity. Because the medical gels are so expensive here, I opted for a 2.0 litre bag of facial gel, which was really like 500% cheaper. It works very well. 3) The position you are in while using it matters! If you are sitting, you can crank it up much higher than when you are standing. Sometimes when I stand up suddenly, the Connect sends a penetrating pulse all the way to my knees, and I need to reduce the strength of the pulse. 4) I believe that each person will have a different experience. I was used to having electro-acupuncture applied to my back every other month a few years ago. I liked the sensation. The Connect delivers the same kind of sensation, but I imagine some people wouldn't like this feeling. This may be why I could turn up the strength of the pulses to above 90 only after using for about a week. 5) Your girth matters. I think the package says up to 41 inch waists can use it, but the bigger your waist is (based on the amount of fat), the harder it would be for the machine to contract your waist IMHO. Certainly, the less fat around your mid-section, the easier it is for the machine to isolate your muscles and contract. My waist is around 36" and it seems to be contracting my muscles just fine, but if I were a bit thinner, I think it would contract them much more easily. 6) There are various modes dependent upon your goals. The app helps you decide, which mode you should use. It suggested Essential Toning, so that is what I am using. The other modes deliver more pulses per session, so I cannot speak to those. After six weeks, I plan to switch modes to see if there are any differences in sensation and toning. I'll let you know what happens. 7) I suggest that you buy a charging cord that incorporates a USB slot for charging (such as the types that you can use for charging your phone that also have a USB slot right in the plug) because the Connect comes only with a USB cord and no power cord. For me, and imagine a number of other folks, plugging the Connect controller into a PC for recharging becomes a bit irritating rather quickly. Other than that, I think it is great. There is no question that it is affecting my abs, but it is a slow process. My wife has mentioned that it has been toning my stomach little by little (and she doesn't lie about those things to me...believe me). And, to repeat a clarion here, this should supplement your exercise program not encompass it. I guess upshot is the question to this question: "If this were to break tomorrow, would you be willing to buy another one?" I would buy another one without any hesitation this time around.

Really impressed, its early days but i had an older belt but this the “next generation” belt. Has more programmes and the ability to see your progress. I did have a technical issue with the app, but after using the online chat, have managed to resolve it, so was a good test of the support service. Nice touch using your smart phone to control it and it allows hassle free movement. The battery pack, also seems to last longer than my other rechargeable unit, my older one needed charging after each use, my new one is only down to 50% after 5 days, so its looking good. It may be more expensive than some others, but I cant fault the quality. Only negative point, states up to 42” well, that’s optimistic its a very tight 42” as the belt isn’t very elastic (unlike other Slendertone belts). But got an extension for the belt making it more comfortable to fit. Having said all that, I would still highly recommend this belt, if you are wanting to tone up the stomach muscles.

Fantastic product. I have used it for approx 2 weeks now. In beginning I was sceptical if this would work. I am not expecting huge visible results as I'm a little overweight, but I would like to increase muscles. I really feel how my muscles work and stay hard during the pulses from the belt. I have a similair product from other manufacturer, but this can not be compared. I will really recommend slendertone. Working perfectly together with my LG G6 with android 7. Only negative is the length of the belt is a little short, and could preferably have been a little longer. EDIT: After last app update on android this product is "useless", app is constantly crashing when I try to open it, and I get no reply on emails to Slendertone. EDIT 2: App crash fixed in new update. Reduced from 5 to 4 stars due to no response from Slendertone by email, and due to missing release testing of their app.

I bought this in January 2022 and have used it a lot. The belt works really well and the app is so easy to use. I should have said “was” easy to use. All of a sudden, a few weeks ago, I went to use the belt but all I got from the app was a blank screen. All of my history had gone and there was nothing, so I can’t use the belt anymore. When I looked into it, the parent company went into liquidation around the middle of the year. Just whether it will be bought out as a going concern remains to be seen and even if my belt was still useable, would I be able to buy replacement pads for it going forward. I see they are available now, but for how long?

Occasionally I walk away from my phone and go to another room and this breaks the connection and I get "Bond Failure" message. I phone them on the 0800 number and they sort it. I think it is strengthening my muscles as I can now do a "plank"

I really wanted to like the Slendertone Connect Abs belt – it’s a sleek, well-made device that showed promise in the handful of times I used it. But after leaving it unused for a while, the battery now won’t hold charge, rendering the unit unusable. Everything else is still like new, so it’s frustrating that a sealed internal battery is the weak link. I contacted customer support and was told there are no replacement parts available – not even for something as basic (and central) as the battery. Instead, I was offered 20% off a new belt. But frankly, the cost of a full-price replacement (even with a small discount) isn’t good value, especially when better-rated, more affordable options exist – or when you can often find better discounts on Amazon itself. A shame, as it’s a nice bit of kit let down by poor aftercare and no route for repair. Be aware before you buy that if it sits unused for any length of time, you might be out of luck.

Lets start with the positives, the packaging is nice. The belt looks fine and from looking at the app it appears okay and pretty intuitive. Now negatives, the belt doesn't fit 24 -42 inches, I measured it, it's only 39 inches and doesn't stretch much. The setting it up is a palaver, it took 8 attempts which included following the apps guide, then having to unpair then re-pair, but it is finally working. The app does sporadically say controller not connected.

An amazing device, almost science fiction like. I hardly feel it on once it gets going and the effects are felt in the first weeks. There’s a weird sensation to feel the sticky pads on your skin though. It also needs replacement pads, so prepare to have some regular spending to keep using it. I felt it could have higher levels of intensity, it doesn’t take long to get use to the max level. IMPORTANT: it tones abs muscles nicely but it’s on the user to lose weight and actually see the abs.

Eso sí, no hace milagros, no conseguirás los de Cristiano Ronaldo sin algo más de esfuerzo, pero… no todo es tableta de chocolate, ¿NO?

Je suis un habitué de l'electrostimulation j'ai eu tous les modèles de ceintures slendertone. Celle-ci est la plus discrète. Le tissus est même plus confortable. La télécommande depuis le téléphone est un confort. Le suivi des sessions fournit un coaching intéressant pour visualiser ces progrès. La qualité de l'electrostimulation est bonne. La je fais un test sur la valeur 40 j'ai donc de la marge de progression. Concernant les aspects perfectibles. J'ai une ceinture sport elec sport, je trouve qu'avec 8 electrodes plus de muscles sont sollicités mais elle plus encombrante que celle de slendertone avec des fils partout et c'est plus long à préparer. J'ai aussi un compex sp4 qui est plus polyvalent mais la aussi l'installation est longue et c'est pas discret. Pour résumer cette ceinture est un compromis efficacité, confort, discrétion. On peut s'en servir à son bureau donc on rentabilisé l appareil. Le week end Je continuerais a utiliser mon compex. Je précise que je complète ces séances par 1 à 2 heures d'entraînement en salles de sport. Un jour d'ailleurs on m'a posé la question si cette ceinture faisait maigrir. Pour moi c'est pas certain surtout que sous une couche adipeuse les électrodes fonctionnent mal voir pas du tout . Par contre les muscles travaillent et la circulation de sang doit provoquer une consommation de glucides et peu impacter la réserve adipeuse du corps. Est ce suffisant pour maigrir ? Le mieux c'est une alimentation saine (je suis végétarien et je ne mange pas de plats préparés ni du sucre). Donc pour résumer cette ceinture n'est pas magique si vous l'utilisez et vous voulez des progrès visibles il faudra être assidu et compléter ces séances avec de l'exercice physique et pas manger n'importe quoi. Si vous faites cela en 4 mois vous aurez une silhouette athlétique.

Ok u pay a lot but it is worth. When u start seeing the results, u will understand that it is actually even cheap. Take it and get rid of belly fat. My only concern would be cleaning of the belt. Honestly I don’t want to damage the belt while cleaning. We will see.

Il dispositivo funziona a dovere. Emette una seriendi stimoli ems che agiacono stimolando i muscoli a contrarsi. Ci sono vari programmi dal principiante a chi fa fitness o chi deve mettersi in forma in breve tempo o rimettere i vestiti di un tempo. Ma do 1 stella ad amazon in quanto dopo 1 settimana vedo il prezzo del dispositivo a 95 € quanto io l'ho comprato a 139€ . Non è mai sceso di prezzo da quanto lo tenevo in lista desideri e poi dovo l'acquisto ecco che ti scende di oltre 40 € . Non mi è piaciuto..

I use Slendertone as part of an overall training program - i.e. next to weight lifting training and cardio - and it works really good. It makes a difference and supports a healthy lifestyle with clearly strengthening of the abs. Anyone with discipline and not waiting a miracle should be well satisfied with this product.
