Did not work AT ALL - Dead on Delivery
Avoid this company - I bought mine at a big discount and obviously it was a dead unit they offload cheaper than the outrageous $300+ 'full' price.
Firstly it is very difficult to work out how this un-weildly contraption even goes together - after figuring it out the control unit lights up but there is no current flowing at all, no matter what setting, level or program is used. A piece of junk that is falsely advertised. Even it if did actually produce a current, given the low morals of the company that sells it - it probably does not live up to the advertising claims.
Purchased in November 2021.

Great product
I'm 60 years old. I bought mine at a garage sale for $5 . Wow, this thing is amazing. I've now got my 6 pack back that has been hidden for 30 years and my lower back is so strong again. For $5, this has changed my shape and the way I feel.
Purchased in December 2021 for $5.00.

Waste of money
Save your money and put it towards gym membership instead. It certainly looks the business and the TV ads are convincing but after using it almost every day for over 12 months I have not seen any improvement. The replacement pads which are needed frequently are very expensive and now the product has stopped working. Customer services are not interested because the product is now out of its 1 year warranty. I hope this review will help others make an informed choice.

Works just fine
I have had a very positive experience with my abs around. Batteries haven't gone flat after 50 + uses. Only now I need more electro pads. And its helping my back pain, I guess an unintended plus. I like it.

Product and customer service really bad
After all the hazzle of getting it returned, for reasons similar to listed below, I was following up on the delay with the refund. I had called and emailEd well ahead of the trial end date with multiple confirmations. But was getting changed nevertheless..on following this and complaining about it gets a short answer : "Your enquiries are accounting in nature, so I have put you in the accounts queue..." with no acknowledgment or apology.

Hopless
Not worth the price of the batteries keeps losing power and cutting out highest strength is the only one worth using then it loses power and you have to start all over again buy a cheap one off ebay

Be careful
Be careful buying from this company. Especially in regards to their "trial." They never returned my calls to have it returned and I had to go to consumer affairs. Hopeless! 21 days I spent calling them and emailing them so I could get the special code I needed to return their product. Very disorganized and focused on profit. Beware! They will waste a lot of your time. The product is OK but not worth the price.

Faulty...twice returned
Oh God I agree. First one I got didn't accept any type of battery....sent it back....then the replacement they sent kept cutting out after a minute...only worked on one program....all I felt was slight stimulation....sent that back....I've since called to cancel the order and am waiting on a call. If they charge me one red cent for this crap I'm going to Consumer Affairs!!!

It's crap! Do not buy this crap
I am wearing it right now. The side panels don't even work. Your stomach gets all this goo stuck on it from the pads which need to be replaced a lot. It costs an arm and a leg. They automatically sign you up and don't let you opt out once you trial it.
I've called every day since I got it cos it doesn't even work properly and is cheaply put together.
429.00 it's going to cost me if they don't hurry up. And return my calls.
You cannot return it unless you speak verbally to them it says on the packaging.
But they say they will get a ...Read more

I have tried to find out return info but, once again, no response

Have to change the batteries every three sessions
I recently purchased a Gum Form Abs-a-round Pro.
As advised by the instructions I was cautious on the first 10 minute session and kept to Level 1, Intensity 30. It seemed to be doing something as my muscles were retracting to the electric pulses.
On the 2nd 10 minute session I stayed on Level 1 but increased the intensity to 50. It really seemed to be working and I looked forward to seeing results after a month or so, as advertised.
On the 3rd 10 minute session I increased the intensity to 70 but after just a few seconds the machi...Read more
ne made a long beeping sound and the Front section stopped working. Using the control I cranked it back up to 50 but again it failed. This went on for a few minutes until eventually I decided to change the batteries. Once I had put fresh batteries in it was working properly again but unfortunately they too started to fail on the third 10 minute session. From what I can gather this device draws very heavily on the AAA batteries and it seems that you can only expect your batteries to last for two to three sessions ie 20 - 30 minutes in total, which is very disappointing.Similar opinion?

How long do the batteries last on average?
2 answers
I haven’t timed it but if I used the ABS one session a day on medium I would only get less than two weeks life out of the batteries making the ABS very costly to run this way. The strength setting of the ABS and the quality of the batteries would vary this a little. I bought 2 sets of rechargeable batteries from the start, generic supermarket rechargeable batteries cost the same as high quality single use batteries and I was able to change them over with little hassle once the ABS ran out of charge. I had however expected the ABS itself to keep working for longer than it did to justify this but I still saved money this way over the short working
life of the product.
Depends on the batteries. I use good quality batteries and I get nearly 2 months using it every day.

I want to know where can i buy new pads for this belt?
3 answers
I don't know, I went to the dollar shop in Parramatta and they had them there so I bought 2 packs at 5 bucks a pack. Try ringing to tv shop.
I bought several sets from the TV shop in 2018 when I bought the ABS because they were doing a bulk deal; they were about $30 per set otherwise. If TV shop don`t sell them anymore try the ABS manufacturer Brand developers 1800 890 840. I haven`t needed to buy any pads since my initial purchase because the ABS packed up just after the 1 year warranty expired and Brand Developers weren`t prepared to offer any replacement or refund.
I've been buying mine from the tv shop. The replacement pads are not as good as the original ones supplied with the abs around so I stocked up, you go through the replacement pads much quicker. I think they were about $10 a pack
