Works well, quite hard but see the benefits. The rubber on the springs split in the first hour of using though. The rest is solid though

5.0 out of 5 stars Works better than initially thought.

Received this item today, I was sceptical and it was sat in my basket because I wasn’t sure it would be any good, well it is after using it for 5 minutes I can feel muscles in my chest working that you struggle to feel with other exercises. Great product great resistance and hopefully great results will follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Straight forward and well made

Exactly as expected. Simple to put together, decent level of resistance and gives a nice pump.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid exercise product.

We got the med strength and it's still hard to bend. I would start with the low strength one and build up if you are a woman or teenager.bthe only issue is it makes a noise when using so late night exercises could be difficult.

1.0 out of 5 stars Far too stiff and difficult to use

C. · 30 May 2025

I believe this particular brand of twister arm trainer is far too stiff and difficult to use—definitely not suitable for beginners. I found it nearly impossible to engage my chest muscles effectively, especially when trying to squeeze the trainer.Unlike other brands that offer multiple resistance levels, this one does not provide any such options, which is quite limiting. I’m surprised more users haven’t mentioned how overly rigid this product is.As someone who regularly does home workouts and owns a variety of weights and resistance bands, I feel this purchase was a misstep—it’s simply not right for me. On a positive note, the product is easy to assemble, and I’ve set it to the lowest resistance, yet still find it too challenging. The user manual is minimal, consisting of just a single page with very little guidance on how to use the trainer effectively.

Excellent. Chest on fire after using this.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Springy Little Beast That’ll Make Your Arms Regret Everything (In a Good Way)

G. · 1 June 2025

As someone who’s always been slightly suspicious of home gym equipment that claims to "replace a full workout in 10 minutes," I wasn’t expecting much from the 40–100lb Twister Arm Trainer. But I stand corrected—possibly because my arms no longer do.This contraption is essentially what you’d get if a chest expander and a nutcracker had a baby at a gym. Assembly took less time than making a cup of tea (which is good, as the instructions are as helpful as a chocolate kettlebell), and once it’s put together, it feels robust—like it could survive being lobbed across the room in frustration (though I haven’t tested that… yet).You get three resistance levels, ranging from “Oh, this is manageable” to “My arms are suing for emotional damages.” The resistance is smooth and spring-loaded, meaning there’s no violent jolt when you push or pull. That’s a relief if, like me, you’ve ever had a resistance band attempt to decapitate you mid-bicep curl.What I like most is how compact and unfussy it is. You don’t need a dedicated corner of your living room or a complicated app to use it—just pick it up, twist, pull, press, and boom: instant pump. I can genuinely feel it working my chest, shoulders, arms, and even my forearms (which are usually left out of most home gear like unpopular kids in P.E. class). Ten minutes in and I’m aching—but in that smug, “I’ve definitely earned this biscuit” kind of way.Build-wise, the carbon steel frame feels reassuringly tough. The foam grips are comfortable enough (at lower intensity), though I’m slightly sceptical about their long-term durability—particularly if your palms get a bit sweaty. That said, it wipes clean easily, which is always welcome when your workouts start to resemble a wrestling match with yourself.My only gripe (besides the fact it’s making my triceps feel like they've been mugged) is the limited versatility. It’s great for upper body focus, but don’t expect a full-body workout. Also, the resistance settings aren’t dramatically different from each other, so if you’re already pretty strong, you may outgrow it sooner than expected.At £30, it’s reasonably priced. You’d spend more on a single PT session, and this doesn’t yell at you or film your bad form for Instagram.Pros:- Quick assembly, no tools or swearing required- Good resistance range (40–100lb) for different fitness levels- Compact, lightweight and portable—ideal for home or travel- Smooth spring action protects joints- Works a surprising number of upper-body muscle groupsCons:- Foam grips may wear out over time- Limited instruction manual (very much “figure it out yourself”)- Not ideal for full-body workouts- Resistance levels could have more noticeable rangeTips:- Store horizontally to avoid spring wear- Use slow, controlled movements for best results- Combine with bodyweight exercises for a more complete session- Try it as a warm-up tool before lifting weights to activate your upper bodyRating:It’s not revolutionary, but it is an efficient, low-hassle way to add intensity to your upper-body routine without cluttering your living space. A great grab-and-go option for anyone wanting to avoid the gym but not the gains.Like my review if you found it helpful, mildly amusing, or at least better than the instruction leaflet!
