Pros: Challenging and effective for the abs.
Cons: Difficult to manage, limited use, not enough resistance, very expensive
I bought this machine because I thought that I would be able to work effectively on all parts of my body. I visited leanabs.com and since I saw that there were huge variety of workouts one can do with this machine, I thought it would be a great deal. The only thing I liked about this was the burn it can give to the abs. It works like an ab roller only with resistance making it a lot more challenging, and plus you don't have to be on the ground/floor. But the positions for working the abs are very limited, just do a few leans that's it, I'm afraid it will only take a few months until I'm bored with this machine. With this machine you are NOT going to build muscles or mass, either on your legs or arms. There's just NOT enough resistance for those body parts. What I was disappointed the most of was the difficulty it can give you when you want to switch workout positions. For example, if you want to do the abdominal lean, leg press, thigh lift, chest press, etc. etc., you're going to have to disassemble the support pad, EACH TIME. And let me tell you just detaching the support pad was hard because the tube was a little too big for the hole of the support pad. Unless you're a body builder man(which I doubt one would purchase this machine), you are probably going to have a tough time taking the big ol' support pad in and out every time you want to do an exercise. Overall, I gave this 3 stars, because I liked the way it produced that burning feeling on my stomach, however, the price was just too high for an equipment that only works one part of your body effectively. I think the Lean Abs machine should cost only [...]. Not over [...]!

I also have a Lean Abs Machine and it is awesome! I am a body builder hobbiest and have used a lot of abdominal exercisers. I would do some to target the upper abs and some to target the lower abs but now I just do more sets on the Lean Abs Machine and my abs are the strongest that they have ever been. I now have the six pack and obliques rack! If you use it for your abs I don't know how anyone could out grow the machine since you can put a lot of tension on the front of the exerciser to resist you. If you are man enough then just turn the handles around and do it on the professional level with no forearm support. It is convenient to be able to just grab the handles and lean out and return; besides the obliques lean exercises are just as good and convenient.
Everybody hates leg day and I did too until I tried some of the many leg exercises on this machine. I could see how a professional bodybuilder could out grow a 250 Lb plus body weight squat but fitness enthusiasts and pleasure body builders will find it just right. The controlled angled movement of the reversed squat is perfect because it sets you down in the seated position which targets hamms, glutes and quads.
The other exercises work really well also, but I choose to use my dumbbells and other equipment for those exercises. I took it with me on vacation and used it for all the exercises and it worked great. This is the machine to buy if you want excellent full body workouts in a small area.
For my abs this exerciser is like my cell phone; I don't know how I ever lived with out one!
The price was also right for the quality and all it has to offer!
