Rigel Leg Stretcher, 220LBS Leg Stretch Machine, Heavy Duty Steel Frame Equipment Splits Machine, Leg Stretching Training Machine for Home Gym Split Machine Training Fitness

I am struggling with side splits and just received this little helper today. It is really good. It helps me focus on my legs without impacting my back in the wrong way (which is what happens when I am trying this on my own). Snd what is a good ways to stretch - to relax in the stretch, keep the position longer snd let your body accept it. I recommend this machine. Almost nothing to put together, some basic stuff. It is really small, I might even place it in my bedroom to be able to use it more often. Looks very sturdy.

This unit works very well. I got this to replace an old Century hydraulic stretcher that finally died. There are some comments about the length of the leg supports. I was going to add some wooden extenders to them, but when I removed the leg supports I saw that they can be extended by about 3" + simply by removing them, rotating them 180 degrees, and then reinstalling them. It's very simple to remove them, flip them and reinstall them. EZ EZ. I also put some self-adhesive felt furniture pads under the frame to protect my floor.The product is easy to use, requires some minor assembly, and works very well. The hardest part was cutting up the box for recycling. Definitely much easier than my old bottle-jack driven unit.Fair price, too. I use the stretcher for martial arts conditioning, but I definitely recommend this for any activity or just general stretching.

I do martial arts and had been looking for one. There were a lot to from and this one costs only 20 or 30 dollars more than the others but just from the photos you can see it's built better. I especially like that it has long pads for your knees and a good size backrest. I was using it within hours, strongly built, works exactly as in the video and used it for my 30 minute stretch today. I had worried if it was not going to stay spread or unstable, I am very happy to say it stood at the position I spread and it has wheels under the arms for easy movement. Since the main part has a wide flat bottom it stayed steady, no leaning either way. As good as it worked I'm hoping to have a full split within 60 days. I'm very happy.

It’s too small for me although the product is good! I’m using it to improve my flexibility!

I been trying to get more flexible as I age, and this contraption really helps to isolate muscles to stretch, and allow you to gauge your progress as you work on that straddle split. You wind the wheel until you feel the tension, and then remove the wheel and start touching toes or stretching toward where the wheel was, its as simple as that. Highly recommend this along with one of those big inflatable yoga exercise balls. Both will really help you open your hips, but in different ways. Good value, sturdy. I recommend.

greatest machine ever. sturdy, worth the money, been dreaming of having middle splits my whole life now i have a shot to aim with. bought it because my dojo has one and i'm so glad this exists.

Received with missing parts. All of the small screws are missing. The long screw was already in place. The nut that went with the long screw was loose in shipping box it came in. It seems like someone had assembled it, then disassembled it (partly) and return all of the parts in packaging. For a new item, obviously missing parts or the possibility this is a resale area unacceptable. I'm reaching out to the manufacturer to get replacement parts (hopefully). If that doesn't work, going for a return.

Everything about the purchase was professional and well executed, so we can get that part out of the way. I had the old blue hydraulic stretcher during my Kenpo and Hapkido days. I loved it, but the hydraulics only lasted for less than a year, and it was dead. This machine works on a gear turning method and applies equal pressure. I was thrilled to find this machine. All the year of martial arts catches up with you, and I have had so many surgeries, the latest being spine surgery. My physical therapist was helping me with balance issues, and we felt that it maybe because, though still flexible, I was not working to my expectations in this stability situation. So we started working on stretching and that seemed to be the problem and I told of this machine I had 20 years ago, so I looked to see if they still had them. I ordered one immediately. It is well put together, sturdy. The back support is a little low, but it is what is needed for this type of stretching. There is a wheel that comes off it very easily, it sits down in 2 slots in the column of the wheel, and you just turn it to your desired distance. Quite simple in theory and execution. If there is a weak spot in this engineering, it would be the shaft of the wheel maybe could be a little thicker, but this is in no way saying there is a problem. I love this purchase and though painful. I love it. Highly Recommended 5 ***** out of 5 I gave a 4 for sturdiness only because I felt a thicker shaft would promote the longevity of the machine usage. Not sure how it operates on any other surface than Marble, carpet could be more challenging. If your on the fence buy it, you will be glad you did.
