“Great price of equipment ”

★★★★★

written by Sydney350 on 18/06/2019

I brought one of these when they first came out and I was at my slimmest. It tones parts of your body that you dont expect. The over hang on my tummy started to disappear. You can spend 10 minutes a day to a hour each day or a few times a week and you will see results. The good points about this peice of equipment is you can shove it under the bed. The bad points are the squeak. But it bit of oil or wd40 will sort this. I have brought a few of these over the years one lasted a long time another lasted months. Its luck of the draw.

“great machines, many fakes on the market”

★★★★★

written by axFaulkner63 on 08/05/2016

I bought my first LTT about ten years ago, bad experience like many bought mine off the internet cheaper than through main supplier, it was noisy dropped grease and the resistance mechanism disintegrated by day two, I was convinced it was a fake as even the LTT sticker was hanging off and from what I remember other details weren't right, I struggled to get my money back but bought a Reebok mini stepper with cords it was a much simpler mechanism basically an adjustable brake band, which does wear and drops dust but the principle proved a great exercise machine once motivated I found it easy to have a good workout and tone up. Today, I visited my local recycling centre and found they had 2 LTT's and a Reebok mini stepper I paid just £2 for a proper LateralThigh Trainer that has had little use I can see straight away that my first one was just a cheap fake, as this is quiet smooth and seems really well made, my guess is that all the reports here of major quality issues were those fake items which flooded into the U.K. As it seems some were fine yet many fell apart within days of purchase, I reckon older ones finding their way into recycling centres that work just like the ones the girl used to advertise are quality original Lateral Thigh Trainers.

“Good workout”

★★★★☆

written by lubina on 12/04/2013

I love to use this while blasting fast club tunes, if you get going you can get a good sweat on and it will make your body shape up. Yes the thing tends to squeek,it has been oiled and the computer is rubbish. I need a new one as the resistance control is broken so its feels a bit to easy for me. So im looking for a new one, this is the best gadget ive tried that has actually worked.

“Possibly good system but poor quality, not reliable”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 14/02/2012

We brought this unit around 3 years ago, was not cheap. Due to circumstances at the time it did not get used so much. Started to use it again around 2 months ago as I gave up smoking, so wanted something to help combat the weight gain. Only started slowly to build up, so around 10 minutes/day. I felt and could see the difference but then bang! ....What looks like a rotating collar which is attached to the foot rests has shattered leaving a mass of broken alloy material bits and several large grease deposits on the carpet. So now, we have a ruined carpet and LTT . Also after looking for quite awhile, no chance of getting any spare parts. I feel very disappointed and ripped off. Insult to injury, I now see they are around a third of the cost we paid, want some advice ......leave it alone and look for something built stronger that will take the use as intended.

★★★★☆

written by on 31/01/2011

I have had a stepper for about a year. I could thoroughly recommend it because it is such an easy piece of workout machine with easy manouveres to do, with such great benefits of shaping the body.
I do around 10-20 minutes a day, every morning seven days a week. I use my bike for 20 minutes a day in the evening too. If you use the stepper with any other exercise machines, you will see the weight fly off.
Stick to it, and you will see results in the first week :)
Try and aim for atleast 10 minutes (1000 steps) in the morning and 20 minutes of your pref exercise machine at night.

“I've been using a LTT for several years now and get a...”

★★★★☆

written by on 12/10/2010

I've been using a LTT for several years now and get a really good home work out from it. But please, like anything, read the instructions before you use it - it's all very well throwing yourself enthusiatically at your new piece of work out machinery but you're just going to end up doing yourself an injury which could easily be avoided. Warm up first (not just saying it, it's really important that you warm up and stretch out before you use your LTT or you could do some real damage to yourself). Use in a suitable location with a balance aid to start off with and at a low-medium setting. Build up your workouts slowly, vary them, and don't use those power cords until you've got your balance. Generally, I do 1/2hr every other day on mine and it just helps keep areas tonned. Maintenance-wise, I've replaced the LTT computer once and had to clean/tighen the link chain underneath. My eldest son (16yrs) is now using it too to help improve him cc times.

“I did used to like the Latteral thigh trainer..If you...”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 16/07/2010

I did used to like the Latteral thigh trainer..If you use everyday for 20 mins and build up a sweat..You can loose weight...
The problem is i have suspected for a while that the way in which your knee twists outwards everytime you step is not at all natural.It is not the same as skiing.rollerbooting etc as it twists your leg the other way.forcing more of the lower part of your leg to turn from the knee joint which isnt good.
Low and behold i have recently began using my machiene again for a bit of weight loss after having it a while and after just 2 weeks use 10 mins per day I have Knee pain.It has been 3 days now and i feel like ive been kicked in the knee. ( I had no privious knee problems at all) I also know that fixing any knee problem is almost impossible for doctors and can take years with no end result. So really ill have to throw this away and get a regular "up and Down stepper" I would be suprised if others dont suffer with the same problem now or in the future. Be careful.

How odd you suffered this problem because I have a very bad knee problem (since aged 17 when I dislocated it playing netball at school) and yet I have had a Lateral Thigh Trainer since the day they came out and use it all the time and it actually IMPROVES my knee condition because it builds the muscles around the ligaments and joint.

Hi, thought i may aswell reply for people like me (still using this site) You are building muscle. Once you have what your body thinks the correct muscle for what you are doing-excersize wise- your fat will shed in weeks.

“I have found lateral thigh trainers a great means of...”

★★★★☆

written by Nikki10 on 10/03/2010

I have found lateral thigh trainers a great means of home exercise. They can really build up a sweat especially the ones that come with tension cords so you can do a full body workout. They great if you not very motivated to do a lot of exercise because a couple of minutes a day will be enough to get your fitness levels up.

My biggest problem was the shelf life. The cables broke easily and there were just too many moving parts that something eventually went wrong with and as a woman I wasn't prepared to deal with. I much prefer the new air climber lateral thigh trainer. It's light, portable and has much fewer parts that can break. Would really recommend one.

“The lateral thigh trainer is a great exercise machine....”

★★★★★

written by on 26/11/2009

The lateral thigh trainer is a great exercise machine. I haven't exactly bought alot of exercise machines, but can tell that this one is very good. You can really feel it working and you can choose a low impact or more of a high impact routine.

Like with all exercise it is hard toget motivated to get on it, but once you do its actually pretty pleasant. The best part is that you can tell that it is working your muscles and using up calories.

I would recommend it to anyone looking to lose some extra pounds or just wanting to tone their muscles.

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 04/10/2009

I bought the LTT but I can't use it because it squeaks so much that it goes through my head (even annoys the hell out of my cat). I've oiled it and it makes no difference. It's too late now to send it back. In theory I'd say that if you could use it, it would be quite good but it's also very boring.

DON'T BUY THIS LATERAL THIGH TRAINER! NO HAND RAILS OR ANYTHING TO GRAB ONTO!

I was gung-ho on this thing when I first got it....but BEWARE!

First off, you'd better be really balanced to get on it, like the back of a sofa or heavy chair.

The workout is boring & tedious after awhile ~ even when watching the video that comes with it. Keeping your balance is a major requirement.

I put it "away". It was a convenient size, but I didn't use it because it had to be backed up to a chair or sofa in order for me to have a secure place to hang onto when I got on it. That presented a problem sometimes. Mostly, it was uncomfortable and awkward to use. I used it for 3 months with little results. It became another storage item.

After several years, I saw the commercial, and got inspired again.
I dragged it out of "storage" and gave it another shot. I was doing okay, then the left pedal went off a bit & I had nothing to grab onto, so I ended up on the floor. With a concussion.
The bruises are still blooming, and I wonder who else has had the same experience...

★★★★★

written by Kimberleyadele on 02/08/2009

The LTT is an amazing way to exercise if you dont like going to the gym. I have a young child and its perfect to just do at home in your own time. Iv had mine for 2 years and had no problems at all with it. I do 1000/2000 a day and within 2 weeks my flabby bits on my belly and hips are gone and thats without dieting. Perfect for a quick fix. This time im eating healthy aswell as doing the work out so im hoping for even better results. Defo a 5/5 from me.

★★★★☆

written by on 13/07/2009

I was a lil overweight and got given a lateral thigh trainer as a family member was moving overseas. Decided to do it to burn time more than anything and ended up toning all the problem areas (especially thighs). It definitely works and I recommend to anyone who wants a quick easy workout everyday - almost anyone can spare 20 mins!

“The lateral thigh trainer is excellent. Yes there is...”

★★★★★

written by on 07/06/2009

The lateral thigh trainer is excellent. Yes there is a noise with the chain, but a bit of WD40 should sort that out. I tried it around four years ago and lost loads around the thighs and hips, and have just taken the same one out of the cupboard and started a fitness regime again. It can be boring, but i was using it with Wii fit (The jogging part) and that put paid to some of the boredom. Great purchase.

Asked by PRINCELOVER on 25th February 2014 Report this content
I already have a Lateral Thigh Trainer, which i used to LOVE using. However, i had a total hip replacement op 3 months ago now, & really need to know if it's safe to start using my machine again? I'm wondering if the side/twisting movement of the machine is ok for a hip replacement? Doctors/consultant probably won't even know what a Lateral Thigh Trainer IS! So pointless asking!! Any physiotherapists/specialists out there that can confirm please?
