Review Summary

The Yukon Ab Crunch machine is a well constructed, easy to use piece of equipment that gets high customer reviews for performance, but in this economy many consider it an unnecessary expense, as it is built to the size and specs one would find in a piece of gym equipment.

Product at a Glance

The machine is a padded chair with moveable arms that enable one to move forward to do abdominal crunches and it allows for extra weight plates to be added for resistance.

Product in Focus

The official Web site for the Yukon company, which manufactures this machine along with other equipment, does not give a lot of specific information about this machine. All of its products, though, are made with military-quality aircraft cables, corrosion resistant finishes and high-density foam upholstery. The Ab Crunch uses plates (the weighted discs you see on barbells) and can be adapted for Olympic plates. There is a partial padded backrest. The footrest is fixed; feet remain on the floor and only the upper body moves during the crunch. Added weights can total up to 200 pounds, but are not included with the product. The entire apparatus weighs about 84 pounds.

Lifestyle

While the official Web site for this product does not provide testimonials, users who have posted on other products mention its comfort, ease of use and effectiveness. Some say that while having the machine makes it easier to do crunches properly, they question whether this machine, which costs $250 plus shipping, is really needed. It appears to be a nice extra rather than a necessary part of a fitness program. Plates must be purchased separately and that can add to the expense. The company advertises a 30-day money back guarantee but the fine print says that applies only to unused equipment and incurs a 15 percent restocking fee as well as shipping and handling charges.  Those who need to return this item may find themselves with a bit of a headache.

Positives

·    Well designed and well crafted
·    Gets good customer reviews
·    Uses plates for adjustable weight load

Negatives

·    Company may not give best customer service
·    Targets only one muscle group
·    Device is bulky for home use
·    Added resistance requires added expense

Final Thoughts

The Yukon Ab Crunch is a well made, high quality piece of equipment that takes up substantial space and targets only one muscle group. Those who feel they want to invest in their abs would probably consider it a good choice.  This serious piece of equipment is likely to be too much of an addition to most people who work out at home.  See what others have said about this item by checking in at the links above.  Consumer recommendations of diet and fitness devices and products can be reviewed to gain a better understanding of all that is available to better one’s health at this time.
