anthony
This is a great product
Julie
This is garbage. Looks nothing like what they showed. Would not recommend
Karla
It works !! I should gave gotten full body
Rosemary
I was a little disappointed because the ab stimulator I received doesn't have the two pads for the obliques. Also has a really strange smell! Haven't decided if I like it better than my Slendertone.
Robby
Welll shipping was fast but the unit itself didn’t do anything for my muscles just buuned and shocked my skin.
Tania
I love the way this stimulator feels. Definitely better quality than ones I've purchased in the past. Grateful that it came with a FREE water spritz bottle to spray the belt each time before using. Make sure to spray. I forgot once! It only took a few seconds to remember lol. Would definitely recommend this product! Please DON'T purchase the cheap, plastic-ish, adhesive stimulator with the gel pads! They don't work!
Timothy
Only 2 sessions in but I feel it working. Hopefully progress soon.
johnie
Great product at a great price
Mr
Poppers/snaps work loose during cycles. Stupid design.
Christian
I love it, it gives you that same shocking feeling that the sticky gelatin the ones do but you can tell the difference. it feels like the shock goes deeper instead of just shocking the surface
Tanner
Wow! This is quite remarkable! The intensity is grest and its only been two days! Helps so much after working all day long physically.
110% recommend!!!
Pascal
Very good ems product for muscles
Simone
Very good,7 days in and noticing a difference already, easy to stay consistent
Lauren
Good product so far
Benjamin
Very small you have to be petit to use. No help from customer service. Do not recommend
Michael
A few of the snaps will not snap on and when I opened the box there was a smell that smelled up my whole house. I took the product out and threw everything else outside till I could wash the cover for it. The arms don't work well and I'm not a huge person and the waistband just fits.
Shalimar
I just got this two days ago. I tried the belt for your stomach and the two arm belts. Wow, it works great.I really wasn't sure what to expect as i've tried the cheap ones in the past. I'm just starting my workout journey.Trying to get my core stronger. My stomach is definitely tender after using it. This is a great product.I would recommend it to anyone.
Charlene
I like the unit but I get shocked sometimes when I touch the charging port when it is turned on
Tonya
I have bought stimulators before and it was just as the ads showed. Too weak or cheap for any real results. The main thing I love about this product is the many settings they provide. There are modes for weight loss, muscle growth, bodybuilding, and even recovery/ massage. There is something for everyone no matter where you are on your fitness journey.
Scott
Deffective waiting on replacement for more that 30 days no reaponse. DO NOT BUY
John
A little to early to tell.
Blanca
Muy buen producto y funciona tal cual lo especificado
Mel
Dont really feel anything even at higher settings. Tried reaching out for a return and they where very responsive when trying to get me to keep it but once I said I just want to return for a refund-radio silence.
Update- 4 days I have been trying to set up a return for a refund ..HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE...they just keep trying to make me keep it
Celia
Received my muscle work out today can't wait to try it out
Karee
Ive had this for just like 3 wks and hey i can actually feel and see muscles growing and Im 67 just lost 60 pounds so im working on loose skin! Not sure if it will work but it feels like it is!!!
Alejandra
Cumple lo que promete, se suente la fuerza de la contracción, parece como una sesión de entrenamiento
Joanne
Have the ab muscle stimulator and it has stopped working after 3 weeks

Love it. Works and I'm feeling sore from using them and feeling like I'm doing better!
Carl
Great customer service !
Elizabeth
Easy to use, no sticky pads to mess with
Tex M.
I'm a 100% Service-Connected Disabled Combat Veteran who was exposed to Sarin, toxic smoke and ash from the entirety of the Kuwaiti Oil Fields burning, burn pits, depleted uranium round rods, unmitigated residuals from Agent Orange storage on Fort Campbell for so many years, unmitigated asbestos and that's just the exposures about which I know.
I deployed, at age 22, to the Persian Gulf in mid-1990 for Desert Shield and redeployed stateside in mid-1991, following Desert Storm.
My entire body changed; inside and out, including metabolism, shape, and overall health, including hormones.
I weighed about 128-132 pounds, had at most a 28" waist and my 2-mile run time in BDUs and boots in the sand in Saudi Arabia, upon my arrival, was 9m 14s... immediately following 120+ push-ups in 2 minutes and 120+ sit-ups in 2 minutes.
I was a sub-4-minute miler and a cross country runner off the sand and in running shoes.
What I wasn't was a gym rat, so I was NOT prepared for the actual weight of the gear and real combat loads.
I'm not joking when I say that my first injury occurred when I tried to ruck-up in-country for the first time, to head north to the Iraqi border with my team... because all of that weight easily exceeded my body weight. In fact, the weight of my ruck alone was at or exceeded my body weight.
I couldn't lift my ruck to sling it on, so I sat down in the sand and strapped it on, only to discover that I couldn't get up. I struggled to rock forward, tried rolling to my side and onto my stomach, but nothing worked.
It took two soldiers to pull me up and I'm not sure how I avoided having both arms dislocated at the shoulders.
Somewhere in my struggles, the beginning of my Diastasis Recti took place... as well as the pathway to Degenerative Disk Disease in my lower back.
Will power, mountain goat-legs and a strong core made it possible to balance the load and "walk" where I needed to go.
From that day forward, I started cross-training and when I ran PT for my Team, we cross-trained.
People did not use the base gyms much in those days and commanders were not happy with my PT deviation from The Norm, but since my Team had the highest AFPT scores on base and the best finish times on our Forced Marches of 100 miles in under 24 hours, they let it slide.
Our ruck marching added weight over time and utilized speed walking at a rate that passed runners, who eventually fell out.
So imagine the impact of the first Gulf War when I returned and suddenly struggled for a 15-minute mile pace and just barely passed my 2-mile run test... and then could barely walk for three days. I literally had to sit down on the steps and use my arms to get to my second floor quarters, because I couldn't get my knees to bend or handle the push through a step up.
Today, the issue of a full Diastasis Recti is not given the sense of importance that it deserves.
Patients are told they can no longer do sit-ups or crunches... because they risk herniation through the abdominal wall.
The aponeurotic tissue between the left and right vertical bands of abdominal muscles does not grow back.
That means that the contents of the abdomen constantly push out and spread those muscle bands.
It is my belief that this changes the body's sensory system, particularly in terms of feeling full... because the displacement allows greater expansion, which increases over time.
Coupled with changes to my immune system, metabolism and testosterone at that age, it's easy to see how the body's first favorite fat storage site, around the intestines, can exacerbate Diastasis Recti.
That's why I've tried many E-Stim devices over the decades.
I was familiar with their use in muscle pain and rehab, so using them on abs was a no-brainer.
However, as Jake mentioned, they didn't stimulate deep enough to do much.
They were great to use on the side to get fit abs looking extra buff, but they weren't actually producing an muscle on their own.
When The Biggest Loser hit television, the Body Bugg was used to measure calorie burn. The Body Bugg was the most accurate device ever produced for measuring calorie burn and it has never been beaten in accuracy, other than by full blown extremely expensive clinical testing.
Sadly, Jawbone made Body Bugg an offer that they couldn't refuse. Jawbone tried to incorporate the Body Bugg technology into their wrist bands and shut down "Body Bugg", so that they were completely useless.
More sadly, Jawbone failed and fell further behind the competition in measuring body metrics.
What I can say is that using those early ab stimulators literally burned zero extra calories, based on the Body Bugg.
Based on science and medical knowledge, I can say that Jake's claims about burning 500 calories in one session are reasonable and that if I could use my Body Bugg today, that I believe I could prove it.
My experience with ApeBorn is limited to two sessions, thus far.
My initial thoughts upon receiving my Full Body kit:
1) I wish there was a body chart with illustrations of all possible stim-pad placements.
2) This is awesome... the Ab Kit has a 3-way charging cord so I can simultaneously charge the 3 stimulators!
3) WTF?!?!??? I paid that much extra for the Full Body Kit and not only is there only a 2-way charging cable for the 4 stimulators... there is only ONE 2-way charging cable for charging FOUR stimulators.
Listen, it's not that I lack two additional charging cables so much as I lack enough charging cable outlets.
I've seen 4-way charging cables and judging by the rapid charge time on the stimulators, I don't think a fourth simulator would draw enough amperage to make charging an issue... but, in addition to my medical degree, I also have degrees in Electronics Engineering Technology and have built custom components and custom rockets with NASA for years... soooooo, I understand that maybe a fourth charging leg might push the usual 5.2 (I think) of a charging cable, even if each was only pulling 1.2 or 4.8 total, that's getting warm, but if they're more likely pulling 1.5 each, for a total of 6, then they're not going to trip a circuit breaker, but they will overheat that charging cable and possibly start a fire or at least damage the stimulators.
So the obvious question then was:
4) WTH didn't they include a second 2-way charging cable?!?!???
I had to wait to charge Full Body Stims 3 and 4, so I just didn't bother using 1 and 2 that day.
Petty but I went on with my Abs and Tri's and didn't have another 20 minutes to do quads and calves, and I didn't want to just do calves or quads.
I'm accustomed to testing products and services and writing published reviews on them, since 1980, so I wanted the stim use to be equal within each set. I could have numbered each stim, but I saw zero upside to paint penning my expensive little electronics stimulators. Doing so would still mean running the number 3 and 4 stims on their own one time in order to have equal usage for proper comparison over time.
I used all 7 stims at the same time today and will continue doing so.
5) Why don't the "instructions" tell me how often to charge, how many sessions I might get on a full charge or tell me that there's a light that will come on if there's not enough charge remaining for the next session, etc etc etc?!?????
So, I'm charging both kits today. The Abs was two sessions and I think it was fine since I'm starting on an intensity of 2... but I opted to charge the Full Body Kit with them today for the simplicity of an even playing field.
Which means that I'm still waiting to charge stims 3 and 4!
For the price and customer peace of mind, the kits should all come with adequate charging cables so that all charging can be done at the same time and none get forgotten.
As people age or deal with health issues that bother the brain and memory, like diabetes and Traumatic Brain Injury (due to concussions and high concussive force of heavy weapons and munitions... heading a soccer ball or playing football, etc), it's more important to keep things simple so that things get done and so that people don't get irritated and agitated, because they will 1-star in a blink and blame the stims (having forgotten that a pair of them were always failing to get charged because the person forgot that they still needed charging).
There's cost but then there's successful business strategy that drives people to a highly-rated product and away from cheaper knock-offs.
Also, based on California laws and recent lawsuits, I have some thoughts about protecting your sales model from lawsuits that might become the norm, depending on how the current ones go.
I'll add pictures at some point, but this is The Beginning of the journey and this story and pictures can wait for a side-by-side.
So far, aside from the aforementioned issues, I can feel the difference between ApeBorn and previous Ab Stims.
Although, I will saw....
6) The belts feel a bit awkward when trying to place and firmly secure them in place, by myself.
Contact and staying in place are important, so if there's someone else around, then I think many people will find that it feels better in tightness and contact when someone else places the pads for you.
And then, just sit or lie there listening to an Audible Book.
My muscles contract and my arms move on their own, because that's what happens when muscles flex and extend.
Moving around could displace the pads/belt and if you're moving against the efforts of the stimulator, then you're probably not going to get the desired effects of the stimulators.
Personally, I felt invigorated...
One might say...
Fully charged and ready to go!
Eugene
It looked stronger in the ad. It's kinda weak.
David
Not very strong can do max setting on all modes! The ones that you get for 20-30$ are stronger!
Esben
It seems like there’s a bad connection in the product, so it only works half the time
Kalae
I had a device like this, but this one is way better. Ape born, thank you for stepping your game up and changing the world of us men, God bless you guys.
Julia
I purchased the ab, and arm stimulators because as I age, I’m 67 years old, I am losing muscle mass. I need something that will help kickstart my ability to maintain the muscle mass I have left.
That being said, I’ve used them twice in the past 3 days. I like them so much that I purchased the glut, and thigh stimulators. I am looking forward to using them as well.
The only problem I have with them is the stimulator, not the pad, pops off of the arm straps if I move a certain way. My arms are quite thin. So, it could be because of that. Not a flat surface.
Dustin
Definitely worth. Can feel the difference right away.
Jason
So far, so good but the only complaint I have is the arm pads aren’t long enough
Jonn
Wow, really works well, out of the box, mode 1 level 6 20 minutes i could see and feel the contractions.
Angelina
The sensation is weak and it cocers a small area
Manolin
Great product, just as advertised.
Max
I used it for a week, It lacks power; you can barely feel the pulses, even when you set it to the highest level. Honestly, it was a poor choice.
Oliver
This product does not meet the performance or quality standards implied by its marketing. I paid $149 for a device positioned as superior to lower-cost EMS units, yet it performs worse than alternatives in the $30 range.
The design is poorly executed. The fastening system fails to maintain stable contact, resulting in inconsistent and uncomfortable electrical output. Instead of controlled muscle stimulation, the device produces erratic pulses that require repeated repositioning to function.
Marketing claims of superiority over cheaper devices are not supported by actual performance. Combined with low-quality accessories, this product does not provide fair value and appears materially misrepresented.
Deborah
It's does not sit evenly on abdomen if you have hips. Not strong like the videos claim
Cecil
It works far better than many i have tried.
Jennifer
I am so upset that the motor unit does not attach to the abs band. The arm inits I attached but it was challenging… they do NOT SNAP in easily and I am afraid to remove them from the bands. I would really like to exchange them for ones that easily attach and remove.
Raphael
Everything as it is described and more.. Best buy yet for me.
MR
Haven't had it long enough to have an opinion on it's effectiveness but the quality is great the only bad thing is that the bands for arms are too short, I don't have huge arms and I can barely fit the bands on so when my arms get bigger I won't be able to use the arm bands and those with big arms won't be able to fit the armbands from the outset.
Peter
Does not work very well, I cant feel any of the muscles contracting
Brandon
I really like the convenience and i can feel the soreness after using
Jason
Great product! High quality and works as stated!
Gary
Easy to put on and it stays in place during use.
John
I am not finding that the intensity is what is described in the advertising. I dont know if the leads are defective or if they are not placed correctly for the ab unit. The arm units work well though. But it was worth the try. I find out now after my purchase that the price has dropped. I would be happy had i paid a lttle less than what i did. Oh well we learn.
Stephen
Arm bands need to come in different sizes for men and women. Arm bands barely fit my arms.
bashawn
Where has this product been hiding all my life!! I can't wait to to start showing results.
Charles
Works extremely well
Ashley
Does not have enough power! Hardly can feel like its working
kiro
Got it working pretty good
J
As per the advertising, I have used those sticky pads and they just don’t work. This is like professional therapy grade style interfaces and it’s impressively intense if you go too far so I’ve had to turn down the dial a couple of times. Also make sure you read the back of each one of the devices. The labels are on them for arms and abs. If you throw on an arm one thinking that it’s the one you’ll be like this isn’t working, but when you put the A1 on you will eat your words so they labeled it correctly just don’t be an overlooking human. It’s it’s labeled right and don’t go in there thinking you know what you’re doing. Start low.
Rocco
Fast shipping and good quality
R
So far it seems to work better then other stimulators I've tried. It actually feels like it working and not just shocking the skin.
It also came quick with no problems
Drew
Great quality and does the trick added to a workout plan use it every night after my workout
Christopher
Wish the ab stimulator was more powerful
Leslie
Not worth the money! Weak current!
Jala-loka L.
Great product, but the week trial to the subscription starts straight away i was charged for another month before the product even arrived.
Abdul
Easy to set up, there is a guide on how to use the modes and settings. Within a week of using i can already see small differences.
Daniel
The ab simulator is a bit weak
Ahmad
I had this for less than one month
Abd one of the small devices or controller stop working .
