Doubtful. Prob best to get it over the internet. it was for sale from Calif. Check for a website- but don’t expect to pay 20usd for it!!
When 20usd is an impediment, i don’t know what to say. I see it all the time though often people won’t bat an eyelash at spending 20 on a night out - or 100 on a pair of jeans, or 200 on the latest track apparel.
When I mentioned the $20 shipping, that is on top of the $350 odd that the product initially costs, which is a lot to spend for a student.
The product was on e-bay- sold for 10.50- cost all in was 20. i didn’t say to buy it new
I had an Exer-Genie and thought that it was a pretty good device. If it’s the same as he Isorbic exerciser then I would go it due to price differences. The company will also custom load the length of rope for and additional charge.
Has anyone actually compared the two products? I’m curious.
Re - Maris and others who want to get on cheaper.
Even if you cannot find on 2nd hand cheap - get a few people together to invest in it. If you can find another 3-5 people who want to train with it, pitch in a few $$ each…
Or, buy it outright yourself from Parents help(help being a loan you pay back), yet have 3-5 people who want to use the device ready and charge them to use it. 5 people paying $10 each, it will be paid off in like a month.
I checked on e-bay a couple of days ago for both the isorobic exerciser and the exer-genie and nothing came up. That’s a good idea trying to get people to join together, an option I may explore. I am a little concerned about where I would be able to fix it.
I just got one isorobic for 35 bucks + shipping (32)…pretty good bargain I think…
here’s a nut for you Squirrels…

it’s currently just under $10 USD; just don’t have a bunch of CF.com guys bid this thing up to $100…
Take turns and everyone will get one.

Good until sept 3. Under $10 - I already have 1.
Somebody jump on this!!
ah shit cant get it yet.
for those in Australia, you can use https://www.vpostasia.com/australia/index.html
However, by the time you add in postage to vpost, then vpost postage and cost of unit, your looking around $50 at least if it sell for $15. Still, not too bad.
Why all the trouble, just use hills, sleds, or tires.
HIlls, i love hills, however, if wanting on grass out of blocks, then isorbic be the go.
Or do belly start with the sled.
im sure the isorbic is a great tool but people shouldnt be breaking there back to get one.
I got one…original isorobic, good conditions, short ropes with handles…no manual, so have to do myself…to replace e rope, just need a big corkscrew and some strenght?is that possible to replace the rope having the new one slide in togheter?
Last…have to replace with a similar one?( is that nylon rope?)
Yes you’ll have to replace the rope with a longer one of a similar makeup. You can either take the thing apart to replace the rope or just tape the end of your new rope to the old rope and pull it through (easiest way).
replacing my rope took less than 5 minutes. 1 6" long piece of duct tape. Butt the ropes end to end (do NOT overlap), then lay the duct tape lengthwide, and carefully wrap around both ropes. It will go around 2x or so. Set Isorobic to minimum setting, and pull it thru, then unwrap the tape, and knot the ends for your loops.
I have 3 of them off Ebay each for under $20ea, just check every few days. I keep one in my gym bag, one in car, and one at home LOL. They are more portable then a sled.
One more tip; buy your rope at Mcmaster.com and make sure to get rope designed for PULLEYS (they are wound differently). Pulley specific rope doesn’t twist as it’s running thru the Isorobic Unit.

someone did, they won it for $8.50.
