 Buy It!!!!!!!!! Apr 20, 2010
By gonzoa
"gonzoa"
Simply amazing!!!! I was skeptical at first, but it delivers an intense core work-out without the backache. It is also very comfortable. Sometimes I lye on it and/or work-out while I watch a movie. The material is of high quality and extremely durable; we have three dogs, a cat, and a one-year-old...so far so good. My 250 lb. hubby has also used "The Bean Elite" so the weight rating holds up. If you are worried about deflation or puncture, it comes with repair patches. Also I find that "fix-a-flat" does wonders.
I own "The Bean Elite"; it is silver and teal unlike the navy blue that is shown in most pictures. It also has one gray handle on each side, and comes with a manual pump. It took me about three minutes to inflate. I have seen "The Bean", "The Bean Deluxe", "The Bean Elite", and "The Bean Supreme". In my personal opinion, they are all the same thing made by the same manufacturer. "The Bean" is the only one that is somewhat different because it is not beveled at both ends, and may not be as ergonomic and comfortable as the others. Buy which ever one is cheapest! There is even "The Bean Elite with Flex 10", but for twice the amount of money. If you don't own any resistance equipment than I suppose it may be worth it. However, some simple resistance bands incorporated into my routine with "The Bean Elite" do the same thing at a fraction of the cost.
The only downside to purchasing any one of "The Bean" series is that the manufacturer seams to be out of business. (bean.com is no longer available). For $30 I took my chances, and it turned out to be one of the best pieces of fitness equipment that I have ever purchased. I may not have a manufacturer's warranty, but for $30 I can buy another one...at least while they last. So buy one while you still can!!!

I really like it Aug 13, 2009

I had abdominal surgery in late May (it's now mid August) and The Bean Deluxe has made my recovery a little easier. I filled The Bean up more with air, and the exercises were easier to do. As I gain strength, I am able to let some air out to challenge my muscles.
I put The Bean in the living room & sit on it while I watch television. Sometimes I exercise while watching, sometimes I just sit on it - which gently engages my abs. Today I was asked three times if I've lost weight, and yes I have, about 6 pounds.
My only "problem" is that the video is for The Bean but the exerciser that I have is The Bean Deluxe.

Ultimate Bean Jan 27, 2010
By Sunnygurl
This is one of the best exercise products I have ever used! I ordered one several years ago off of TV. It was more expensive but exactly the same as the one I recently ordered from Amazon. I love it! It is well worth the money. It makes doing sit-ups a breeze! I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to exercise at home. It is especially good if you have bad pain, as I do, because it cushions your back while doing some of the exercises.

Boy is this thing fun! Aug 22, 2010
By smartypants
"pantsonfire"
Makes working out seem more fun. The deluxe version is great because it has handles on the sides. It's bigger than it looks in the advertising. Very supportive in many different positions, so you can be comfortable no matter your fitness level and stay safe from pulling any muscles or straining any joints. Seems very durable and well made. Also makes a good video game chair.

Okay for beginners Mar 09, 2010
By Tovah Scott
"Tavabean"
If you are already fit, the abdominal toning part doesn't do much (and I'm not incredibly strong either...). But I really like it for Pilates and toning the thighs and buttocks. I find the videos endearing and fun. Time seems to fly by, which is a good thing! Anyway, that's just what I think. Hope it helps.
