CorEvolution is a workout machine that works the core muscle groups. According to the manufacturer, you can work all the muscles of the core at the same time: abdominals, hamstrings, glutes, and spinal erector muscles. In fitness, the movement of the CorEvolution is referred to as the "reverse hyerextension." CorEvolution is associated with Evolve Inc. John Cook is the president of CorEvolution. Cook is also an author. Many often misspell the CorEvolution trainer as Core Evolution or Core Revolution. However, the proper spelling is CorEvolution or Cor Evolution.

I bought this product used. I believe that this product does everything that is claimed in their website. The first day that I used it, I found that it was a little challenging putting the weights on. And the machine needs to be placed on carpet, as it easily moves across a concrete floor when using it. The only real disappointment is that the manufacturer only allows a maximum of 30 pounds to be attached to the machine. Being a weightlifter, I wanted at least be able to use several hundred pounds to get a decent workout. I would like the company to have a heavier duty version of this machine to allow the use of more weight and better results.

I purchased the Corevolution product and received the device which had repainted areas with paint that did not match. One of the foot pads was cracked and broken. My attempts to reach customer service were a joke. After being on hold for 45 minutes, I followed their suggestion to send my concern by e-mail. I received a bounce back acknowledgement that indicated I would be contacted in 24-48 hours. That was 3 months ago. To date, Corevolution has never contacted me even though I have sent 5 e-mails and left numerous messages by phone. This company has a 30 day return policy, but they will not assist you to get a Return Authorization Number. So their return policy is a scam. By the way, the product in no way delivers what Corevolution promotes. I believe if you are buying this product to solve a lower back pain issue, you are more likely to do more damage to your back. The device is difficult to use and realistically, 5 minutes a day (Corevolution's claim) it is just unrealistic to expect any significant results. This company should be investigated by the California Attorney General.

I'm 5'5" tall, and this machine was not built for me. They don't tell you that on their claim. I don't question quality, performance, or anything else. Simply put, this machine is only good for taller people exclusively. I paid cash $499.99 + tax, for a total of $540.71 It cost me $112.00 to send it back, but so far I never got my money back. I only hope these people return my money soon, otherwise I'll take them to a Small Claim Court to recover my money

I sprained my back years ago. It would get to the point where I could not stand. Off to the Chiropractor! I have used a number of machines in the past with limited/no success. The Corevolution has worked perfectly. No adjustment in 6 months.

Absolutely amazing piece of machinery. Was I skeptical? Of course. I had gone to doctors and back specialists who said I needed surgery and it was a shame since I just turned 40. I am impressed that i was able to email back and forth with the president and he helped me tremendously. I was able to adjust my position on the pad to determine what was best for me. For verification I emailed the president and he confirmed plus gave me additional tips. Now that is Customer Service!!! I was so scared that i needed surgery and this has prevented me from doing that and I don't mind exercising daily with the corevolution for the rest of my life. The most important thing is not to expect to see results on Day 1. After a few weeks of trying this machine, if my back tends to be sore from whatever activity, I get on the machine and the pain is released. I'm sure all results vary but for anyone with lower back pain, you've got nothing to lose. I love this machine!!! Charlie Dayton, Ohio

I've only had the trainer for about two weeks, but it's already helping. I've started slowly, as they suggest, just learning the motion for the first week and a half, but even during that time I've felt the benefit. My lower back is stronger and less subject to soreness and weakness, even after this short a time. I can feel the workout in my abs and my shoulders, as well. I've added a weight now and it continues to work fine. I've exercised all my life, so I'm in decent shape; it would've been a tougher 'learn' if I hadn't had some basic fitness, but as I say I felt the benefit right away.

This product is not good for people who have L-5/S-1 Spondylolysis and Spondylolisthesis. Decompressing the vertebre with these conditions can make your problem worse. I know because I have this condition and it made me worse than ever before. I was really hoping that this would be the answer to my almost 6yr back problem which has left me on disability and an unsure future. Before purchasing the cor-evolution, I sent an e-mail explaining my condition and asked many questions, but no one responded. I also brought the information about Cor-Ev to my Dr. and he gave me the OK to try it, but when he saw what it was doing to me, he told me not to use it again. (I should've known that there was a reason for the non-reply email.) I also had a problem with their billing system. I requested the 30 day trial @ $49.95 and they charge $49.95 plus $499.50! This error threw my bank account and my mind into turmoil( being on a fixed income) which caused insuff. fund fees, which I'm now pursuing to get back. They did refund the $499.50, but not the ISF fees as of yet. So, proceed with caution and ask questions and wait for answers. If no answer..Red Flag.!!!

The pad pushes hard against my belly and it makes me feel like I am going to throw up after only a few reps. With my beer gut, I can't stand this sensation for the recommended five minutes of sustained exercise per day. I thought I would get used to it, but I haven't and it's now too late to send it back. If I had the athletic build of the guy who hawks the machine in the video, it might be different. But I'm an average out of shape guy. So try to find one to try before you buy, for you may not be able to withstand the naseous feeling long enough to benefit at all. And returning it is costly and, unless you have a truck, large SUV or van, it won't fit in your car to haul to the shipper, anyway.

I have been suffering from herniated disc disease and had tried several therapies. Just as I was having some relief through spinal decompression and the doctor suggested that I add some strenghtening exercises, we saw the infomercial on the cor evolution. The first time I tried it, it hurt my back so severely that is set me back on my $2000 spinal decompression therapy to where I can't put on my socks and shoes without help!! They advertise that it is safe for bulging and herniated discs, but it most certainly is not. Not only do I feel like my $2000 therapy was undone by this machine, I had to pay $130 to send it back!! Someone should sue for false advertising!

I broke my back in 1977 and have had to go to therapy every since to keep the muscles in my back in shape so I can keep walking. I have used a version of this machine at my chiropractors office for about the last 20 years. After spending thousands of dollars I came across the Corevolution on TV and immediatly bought one. It came about a week later and found it to be the same thing I have been using with my chiropractor. If I had only found it 20 years ago I would have saved alot of money.

I am 5'3" and positioning is not adjustable for height, so it is awkward to use. My husband who is taller has greater success with it. It is a good machine, it works well for taller people like my husband, but be real careful if you are shorter to avoid injury. The machine is really expensive to return also.

I purchased the corevolution because it appears to work my problem areas, the lower back, the hamstring, and it's safe on the knees. It arrived fast, within one week, it's completely assembled, so all you have to do is unfold it. Then you need to add some weights. The weigh bar is one inch in diameter so it's standard for weight plates you can buy for a few dollars at any sporting goods store. I added 20 lbs for now (two ten plates). And it's just a really comfortable exercise. The top is very well padded with faux black leather and comfortable. Easy to get on with the right foot platform. I have to say, the machine could have been sold for less, but it's well worth it as this is a fantastic exercise for the legs and bag. The pendulum action si great and smooth. I don't know if the height is adjustable, but it fits me and I'm under six feet. I suppose you can adjust your body on the cushioned platform. It's an exercise that is really helpful and after two sets of 20 I'm breathing hard. ENJOY!

My wife and I ordered this free trial via the tv infomercial. We soon learned that my prior back surgery and my wife's height of 5'2" was not a good fit for us. I feared further back injury and my wife found it extremely difficult to use because of her height, despite the claims that shorter people can use the unit. We sent it back at a cost of $125 to us. I expect those reviewing this review will not post it believing it to be a complaint, which is not true. The unit seemed very well made, but it is not for everyone and it can be very expensive to ship back.

I want to return this product. I am very unsatisfied with this product it is made very cheaply. I feel like it will all fall apart when I am on it. Email me info. to return this product.

I had used this machine at my doctors office and it helped my sciattica and back a great deal. I had been paying weekly, because insurance did not cover my injury. I was surprised to see this machine was available on TV. I am retired and like to play golf a couple times a week. I have been able to do that again after only being able to play once a month because of the problem I had with reaggravation. I found the information quite thorough. I followed the enclosed workout with great results. Well made. and there is nothing to put together.

I tried this product and was not satisified. The unit was too costly for what you actually got. The cushion was very thin and it was painful to use. I have had lower back problems and it increased my pain rather than help relieve it. Some of the parts that came with the unit were defective also. Informational DVD was not very helpful either as it did not explain total set-up or what the plastic waterbag weights were for.

I purchased this about a month ago. It arrived quickly and it took less than an hour to get it completely up and assembled. It looked good in the infomercial and I found the product to be soundly constructed and sturdy which is important since you are going to be laying your entire body weight on it's structure. I added about 15 pounds of weight (it comes with a water fillable balloon that can act as weight if you don't already have plates). I followed the small instruction manual for the exercise (it's basically a one trick pony anyway) and I see some results in my abs, it looks like mostly a hamstring and glute device but it has helped my abs and in any case my glutes needed work as well. I didn't need weightloss I just need to increase definition and I doubt any non-aerobic machine can help me lose weight.
