Review Summary

In an effort to look good and feel healthy, many people want a slimmer waistline. Six pack abs have become a huge carrot dangling in the face of people everywhere. Because of this push to look great, many gadgets and products have been designed to supposedly aid people in achieving their goals. Sport-Elec is one of several ab belts offered as an effortless solution. The makers of this product seem smart enough to not offer huge weight loss with the purchase, but they do make clear that tighter more toned abdominals are a very good possibility.

Product at a Glance

Electronic muscle stimulation is the use of electronic wavelengths to trigger muscle contractions. You may see machines using this technology quite often in physical therapy and chiropractic practices. Used in ab belts, electronic  muscle stimulation triggers contractions in the abdominal muscles. These contractions are said to increase the strength of the midsection similar to how crunches would.

Product in Focus

Sport-Elec resembles many other ab belts on the market in design. One glaring difference, however, seems to be the use of a Contact Cream instead of gel pads. Clinical usage prefers gel pads, and it is unclear why this product prefers a messy cream. In addition to this odd application method, the product comes with a diet plan, instructional booklet, ab belt with attached control and one bottle of the Contact Cream. Despite these inclusions, there is one crucial component missing. The company does not seem to offer a satisfaction guarantee with this product. We have found that the best ab belts usually come with a satisfaction guarantee. Many of them allow for a 60 day guarantee, ensuring customers are pleased with the product and the results they should be seeing at that time. Without a guarantee, consumers are likely to be stuck with this product, whether or not it works.

Website

The official website for this piece of equipment does not seem too bad at initial glance. Further investigation reveals some small additions that could have been made, however. The website provides a few testimonials, but we have found that the best ab belts will usually provide before and after photos to accompany these types of testimonials. Photos show the results and can really compel consumers to try a product they may otherwise be questioning. Also missing is a FAQ section. When considering a purchase like this, people typically have a lot of questions. A FAQ section allows for a comprehensive amount of information to be seen in an easily accessible manner. Lastly, the product website seems to be missing any sort of satisfaction guarantee, further damaging the appeal of the website and product, as mentioned above.

Positives

·    May be less expensive than some models, but less is only good if it works as well

Negatives

·    No satisfaction guarantee posted as of this review
·    Contact Cream may be messy in comparison to the gel pads other products use
·    Attached control unit seems awkward and bulky

Final Thoughts

When purchasing a product like this, consumers have to take many things into consideration. These ab belts aren’t as cheap as crunches, but some of them may be able to offer results with minimal effort. Preference from one ab belt to the next can be based on something as minor as placement of the controls to the presence (or absence) of a money back guarantee. The bottom line is, being completely informed about a product is crucial when making a decision. For more information about the Sport-Elec, be sure to review the sites linked above.
