I've had a T-Bow for a while. In fact, I've got 16 of them! They are stacked in the garage and are forever in my way when I want to get into the freezer. Every six weeks or so, I haul them all to class and teach Pilates using them.They are absolutely great! Not only that, I also do my home exercise on a T-Bow - it takes up little space in the house, can be set up in the blink of an eye and is stacked neatly against the wall when I've finished my workout.
Now the T-Bow has a rival - drum roll please - the Firms Wave has arrived!
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. The T-Bow doesn't include much in the way of extras, a booklet explaining the exercises and a wall chart. The Wave on the other hand comes with lots of extras, a wall chart and DVD's showing you how to use the Wave, various workouts you can do on the Wave - including strength training, cardio fat-burning and a healthy eating guide.
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. - 16083
