I am a dedicated martial artist that has been frustrated in my attempts to attain greater flexibility. Despite my previous instructor's claim that these types of machines are a waste of time & money, I decided to investigate the potential effectiveness of the "Versaflex". Based on this investigation, I purchased this machine & in the very short amount of time that I have used it, I am really happy. For me it makes stretching very relaxing & comfortable. I am very impressed!

I love this machine. The strech is allowed to happen at a slow and gentle pace and the legs are nicely supported. The only draw-back is the retraction process sometimes I have to push a little futher in order to release the latch to pull the legs back in. Other then that b e a utiful 4 stars

Great stretching maching for the price! Assists with stretching to 190 degrees. Solid construction that will last for years! 5 stars

I bought one of these, and expected a bit of a hassle putting it together according to the other reviews. The main problem(s) with the directions are that they show pictures for parts that are not used with this product, and the exploded pictures are not next to the written directions, so you have to keep flipping back and forth between the pictures and the explanations. Despite that, apart from almost cross threading one screw putting the seat on, the assembly went ok.

I have been using it for about a month and have slowly increased my stretch from about 100 to about 125 degress. But the problems for me now are (1) the machine makes you increase your stretches by 5 degress each time, so you can't just nudge it forward a degree or two and (2) its putting all the pressure on my knees to force my legs apart with the pad in the outer most hole. There are holes closer to the middle, but they'd be too close to the top of my legs. It could have really used a hole a little further out.

It is built well and works as advertized, but as I mention above, as I have gotten to my max stretch where I need to slowly move forward, I have to go forward by 5 degrees at a time ... 3 stars

this is just what we were looking for--we wanted to increase our kicking range and this has helped. 4 stars
