I use a machine similar to this one at my chiropractor. I loved the benefits of getting a good stretch. I can across this product and thought I would try it out. It exceeds my expectations. I was worried that it would not be stable due to the price, but it very sturdy. I have bad knees and floor stretching tweaks them. Using this to stretch takes the pressure off my knees and lets me get a great deep stretch. I use it mostly for the lower back, upper back, shoulders and hamstrings.
Assembly is required, but it was very easy and had it ready to go in about 25 minutes. All tools were included and the screws are packaged by step. So, on step one the screws and bolts are packaged for just that step so there is not risk of not knowing which part is needed.
If you are on the fence about this product and have used and loved the precor version (very costly), this is an excellent stretching and I recommend it! Great product at a great price!

I just received this. Construction is of solid quality. Time will reveal overall effectiveness, but I can say after only the first use, I woke the next morning with no back pain for the first time in quite a while. My back also seemed to hold better throughout the day.
This unit is easy to assemble, easy to use, and seems to work well.
The main portion slides easily under a bed for space saving, though you will need to remove the arm and leg attachments to stow. Leg attachment requires removal of two small bolts. I'd prefer a quick disconnect pin here, but it is only a small inconvenience and takes roughly one minute to remove or reattach the arm and leg components. Other than that, I find it to be absolutely perfect and effective. I am very happy with the purchase.

Good product, good price

The far stretch is the best relief you can get when you have back pain. It takes about 2 hours to assaemble and the instructionan quality is detailed. The product is very sturdy and adjusts based on the excercise you want to do.

I love my new Sunny Health & Fitness Full Body Traction & Stretch Machine! My lower back was unbearable due to sciatica nerve pain. I immediately took it out as soon as it arrived. I was able to assemble it in roughly 20 minutes! I woke up this morning with minimal pain. I immediately stretched again this morning and I am ready to face the day….without the pain! I easily stored it under my bed. This is one purchase I will definitely not regret! The quality is great! It's way more than I expected for the price

I purchased this unit a few days ago for my 78 year old mom who has a lot of lower back pain. I use a much better machine at the gym that helps me so I figured…. you know be a good son and get one for her. That is until I searched for it and realized how expensive that one at my gym is. I went with the Sunny one because it was the least expensive and they made it look really good in the pictures. That was a mistake. It’s not a quality machine.
This thing is tiny compared to what I am used to using. The seat back is maybe 6 inches across and barely offers support. The seat is too close to the handles ( maybe 3 fingers of distance) and you end up in a much more uncomfortable collapsed position than other stretch machines that I have used. One of my favorite exercises is the glute stretch where you place one knee over the other and lean back. I kept catching my foot on the handles getting into that position and almost tipped the whole thing over trying to get out of it. I thought the hamstring foam thing was cool when I saw pictures of it. I struggled to get my ankles into the foam pieces without hitting my shins on the handlebars. The seat cushion is really thin and digs into the back of my legs. If you are over 5’5” then you will have to lean back, balance and then slide a foot in from the side to use the foam things because its so cramped. Awkward to say the least. This is dangerous for my mom to try to do that. I’ll be sending this back as soon as I have the time to disassemble it and pack it back up. This is me a 6’1” guy on this thing. That should give you some perspective of who this is made for…. Very skinny very short people. Do yourself a favor and opt for one that is sturdier, has more support and some room between the handles and knee pad.

I really wanted to like this thing. The idea is great and beats going to a stretch lab or chiropractor every week. I have an inversion table I really like but will only spend two minutes on it. I wanted something I could spend 10 to 15 minutes on. I have bad sciatica and hoped this would help. If I were not as tall (6'1") it may have proved helpful. I need a little more support under the legs/knees. Due to the design and my height, there is no way to provide the needed support. The ankle supports could be more comfortable but is tolerable. I tried about every possible configuration but could not find a comfortable position. I had no issues with the supports under the arms as some people have had. The device may be helpful for some – as stated in reviews.

Quality is great. Easy to use and assemble.
