Okay so I caved and bought this ab machine after seeing it EVERYWHERE on TikTok. Here's the real tea after using it for 2 weeks:

• The assembly was shockingly easy? Like 15 minutes while watching TV easy. And I'm someone who usually throws instruction manuals across the room.

• That LCD screen is lowkey motivating AF. Seeing the numbers go up makes me feel like I'm in some futuristic workout movie.

• BUT - major warning for my thick-thighed girls! The knee pads aren't the comfiest. My first workout left me with some awkward red marks. Maybe fold a towel under your knees?

• The burn is REAL though? Like sneaks-up-on-you-while-watching-Netflix real. First time I used it, I couldn't laugh for two days without my abs hurting (true story).

• Love that it folds up - tucks perfectly between my couch and plant collection. No more tripping over bulky gym equipment!

Final verdict: 4/5 stars (would be 5 if they made the knee pads thicker). Definitely worth it if you want that 'just did 100 crunches' feeling without actually doing 100 crunches!
