I've been using a T-bow for awhile. I have them stored in the back room, all 15 of them! Every time I need to do the ironing they're in the way. Every once in a while I haul them out and take them to my Pilates classes. My classes love them. I also do a lot of my own exercise on one. The T-bow is easy to set up and when I've finished I stack it against the wall - it takes up so little space.
But now there is a rival to the T-Bow - Cue the music - It's called the Wave.
The Wave is much like the T-Bow in many respects although it does have a slightly different shape. The T-Bow is made in Switzerland and the Wave is produced in the USA.
How do the T-Bow and Wave compare?
1. The T-Bow is a single, curved piece of heavy duty plastic, the WAVE is braced to give it strength. They are similar in size and shape, with the T- Bow being slightly less bulky and slightly easier to handle and carry. The T-Bow will stack with others, and the WAVE won't - however this is not a problem unless you need to store a lot of them.
2 If we look at price there is a large difference. The Wave is just under $100 on the other hand the T-Bow will set you back over $160 (If you require international shipping even more)
3. With the Wave you get a stack of extras included in the price. A wall chart showing you the basic moves, several DVD's which take you through basic to advanced exercises (Cardio, Strength and Fat Blasting). The T-Bow by comparison only comes with a wall chart and a small booklet.
4. To enhance your strength training exercises both the Wave and the T-Bow will allow for attachment of elastic exercise bands. They do not come included with either but can be bought cheaply and are readily available.
Both of these pieces of equipment are excellent and if used as part of your workout will have the desired fat burning and muscle toning benefits. If you teach classes then the T-Bow gets my vote as they are easier to store. For the home user though I recommend the Wave. It will get the job done and is much better value for money.
