I love the T-bow, so much so that I bought 17 of them! They stack one on top of each other and take up surprisingly little space in my back bedroom. I'm only reminded of them when I need to change the bed. When the mood is upon me I drag them out and take them to my Pilates classes. They add interest and make normal Pilates exercises much more challenging. My classes love them and so do I. When not in use they stack neatly in a corner.
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. Unlike the T-Bow which is constructed into a single piece of high density material the Wave has a brace to help give it strength. Both are similar in size and shape although the T-Bow is less bulky and is easier to handle. Because of the the Waves supporting brace they will not stack. The T-Bow will easily stack 15-20 units high.
2. When it comes to price there is a big difference! The T-Bow will set you back over $200 when you include international shipping whereas the Wave is just under $100.
3. The T-Bow comes with a demonstration booklet and a wallchart, with clear professional photographs showing the various exercises. The WAVE, on the other hand, comes with a wall chart and several DVDs showing various workouts - including Abs, Fat-Burning and Muscle Sculpting, along with 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.
As pieces of home exercise equipment I think they are both fantastic and if used will help you to lose fat and tone muscle. My vote would have to go to the Wave, although I prefer the T-Bow it's additional cost for the average home user isn't really justified. - 15438
