What You Should Know
The Flex Belt Abdominal Toning Belt is truly an awesome advance in technology. This device is by far the most effective we have ever seen of its kind. It makes it so that anyone can exercise their abs anywhere and anytime and it does all the work for you. You can use it at work, around the house, while taking a walk, while exercising, watching TV etc. The results are astonishing – The Flex Belt is proven to work for everyone. In fact – in a clinical trial done with The Flex Belt, 100% of the participants received results in flattening, toning, and strengthening their stomach. The Flex Belt is not a gimmick – it is 100% medical science. It is the first EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation) product of its kind cleared by the FDA as a class II medical device for direct to consumer sales. You can see an amazing demo of the product by clicking here. For consumers who don’t have the time to exercise or for those that may have tried to flatten and tone their stomachs through traditional exercise, this product is precisely what they’ve been looking for. It is also great for people that are in awesome shape and already have a great stomach – it will simply make it more strong and defined.
The intensity goes from level 1-100. With continued use and as you get stronger, you will increase the intensity. Trust us — This thing works! If you run the belt on a high intensity, you will feel your stomach muscles sore the next day just like you would after an intense abdominal workout at the gym. This is probably the coolest, most advanced product we have ever reviewed.
Product Features
The Flex Belt is an innovative, medical-grade technology with the extraordinary ability to sculpt a firmer, stronger and more toned abdominal area without painful, repetitive exercise routines. The makers of Flex Belt are a medical device company headquartered in Galway, Ireland with 40 years expertise designing, manufacturing and marketing EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation) devices for medical and consumer use. Their EMS medical devices are used and prescribed in 5000 clinics worldwide. In fact, this is the same technology that physical therapists use for their patients that need certain muscles exercised.
This product consists of a precisely engineered, ergonomically designed training belt that tones the central abdominal muscles and obliques for the flat stomach or ‘six-pack’ we all dream of. The company is so confident in the amazing results achieved with this groundbreaking product that they offer a full 60 money back guarantee. If you use the belt as instructed (once a day, five days a week), you will definitely see results before the 60 days are up – so this is no-lose situation satisfaction guarantee policy. We don’t think an awesome athlete and legend like Jerry Rice of the San Francisco 49ers would back the product and use it himself if it didn’t work…you can see a video clip of Jerry wearing belt on the official website – click here to go to official flexbelt website.
Concept
Here’s how it works: The unique construction of the Flex Belt features three pre-positioned, medical-grade Gel Pads, covering the central abdominal muscles and external obliques. Signals from the belt reach out to nerves where they are most concentrated.
These nerves branch out to reach all the abdominal muscles (not just those under the pads) causing them to relax and contract naturally, working all the muscles at the same time.
When wearing The Flex Belt, you will feel a mild pulsing sensation, followed by some tightening of the abdominal muscles. The muscles should contract smoothly, hold themselves in a tensed position for a few seconds and gently relax again. It is never uncomfortable – but always apparent. You control how powerful the sensations are with the intensity controller. The intensity goes from level 1-100. Like we said before, there is no chance this thing doesn’t work — If you run the belt on a high intensity, you will feel your stomach muscles sore the next day just like you would after an intense abdominal workout at the gym. The end result is that all the muscles are worked at the same time, and no sit-ups or crunches are needed to get flatter, tighter, more toned abs.
The makers of The Flex Belt guarantee results within weeks of using the system and 100% of users have reported more toned and firmer abs. All that is required is a mere 30 minutes a day, five days a week, to see results. The best part is that this 30-minute exercise doesn’t have to be in a gym, and it doesn’t have to take any time out of your day. This belt can be worn any time, allowing consumers to tighten their abs during almost any normal activity. The system is great for people of all lifestyles including casual exercisers, fitness enthusiasts, seniors, new mothers and even people with physical limitations. The belt works for everyone and all should benefit from this simple system.

After trying this product, I can say it really works!

Does this item just tone or will I lose belly fat too?
[Reply]
Does this work the same as “Slendertone Start” which had sticky patches to stick on the body
[Reply]
The best way to lose belly fate is to tone the muscles underneath. The more muscle under the fat, the more it will help “burn” away the fat. But you may need to adjust your diet so you don’t retain that fat.
[Reply]
HI Alicia
You sound like you know what you are talking about. Can you tell me what to buy as i need to loose fat around my belly desperately. I need to loose weight. Please advice me on what to buy or use.
the most effective way to loose weight is to envision yourself being the perfect weight and becoming that person it all begins with a thought if you’re constantly thinking about being overweight all youre doing is telling your brain that you want more weight instead if you think about the perfect weight then your brain goes to work to make it happen with diets exercise etc try it and you will see remarkable results is works 100% of the time.
do u ship to jamaica
[Reply]
tone= better defined muscle
fat in an area makes those muscles less toned.
so yes it makes you lose belly fat aka helps you tone your stomach. lol
[Reply]
will this work for a senior? How long is the belt? ,u waist is about 45 inches.
[Reply]
I’ve been using the Flex Belt for 3 wks and can already see a big difference in my abs and love handles..:-) I can’t wait to see how I’m going to look within 8 wks! It’s worth the money!
[Reply]
Great to hear that!
[Reply]
It’s been a month now. How many inches did you lost? Does it hurt? How long is 1 session? I would love to get one too if it really works
[Reply]
In 1982 had to have knee surgery not before I had already lost the muscles in that knee. Surgery was micro. Had to have threarapy. The machine they used was of this concept to regain my muscles. They said at that time the Russian athletes used it to build their muscles. The process was electrobes connected to moisture on my leg. It would work and you could see my muscles enlarge with the currant. then release. Does this work on the same theory?
[Reply]
I was wondering I had a hysterectomy three years ago, will the Flex Belt help tone my muscles that are still numb.I am 47 years old and they say the older you get the harder it is to lose weight and inches.Will this help me?
[Reply]
I have the same question! Does it help surgically cut muscles?
[Reply]
even though you can’t feel those muscles anymore they still function and still need toning. if they didn’t you wouldn’t be able to hold yourself upright. the only thing the belt won’t fix is scar tissue left from the surgery if any.
[Reply]
What kind of batteries do you use for this belt. Rechargable or regular?
[Reply]
this belt doesn’t require the use of batteries it plugs into the wall!
[Reply]
the batteries are rechargeable from what i’ve researched on this product
[Reply]
Hi Paula, it looks like no batteries. The Flex Belt comes with a rechargeable power cell that plugs into a wall socket.
[Reply]
what’s the largest size belt “
[Reply]
Hi Art, I just got off the phone with Flex Belt customer service. They say the belt is adjustable between 27″- 47″, and that it also comes with a 5″ extension that is easy to add on, making max waist size 52″.
[Reply]
Can my 13 year old daughter use the belt
[Reply]
I am 14 and I was wondering if I could use it too. Good question.
[Reply]
Hi Angie + Vivian, I just asked a customer service rep at Flex Belt your questions. They said yes, it’s ok for early teens to use!
[Reply]
i have the flex belt and im 14. It works great!
I want 1 too!!!!
[Reply]
I love to it this for my family but can you ajust it to a waist of 42
[Reply]
Yes you can adjust it to a size 42. it also comes with an estension just in case it doesn’t fit
[Reply]
It comes with an extension? To what size will it extend?
[Reply]
I am 40yrs and have two kids ages 16 & 12. My belly is very loose with excess skin. Could this help me in any way, or my only hope is a tummy tuck?
[Reply]
Hey, I am 49 and just started using the belt 3 days ago. I lost 2 inches off my waist in just 3 sessions. I have lots of lose skin as well and it is not going to get rid of that, but it sure does feel a little tighter than before
I hope this helps!
[Reply]
What is the life span of this product. The website mentioned the 60 day guarantee but how long does it last beyond that?
[Reply]
I don’t think it has a life span so much as a regular belt you wear every day would have a life span; it breaks when it breaks eventually.
I think the 60 days is just if you feel in the first 2 months you just don;t want it or were giving it for a gift or birthday it can be returned or something.
Since the belt gets its power through rechargeable battery and gel pats, you can just keep it up… possibly forever.
[Reply]
so contour is a fake?? I’ve heard that it can burn Your skin. Im going to try the flex belt.
[Reply]
can u put it on other areas. example: back or legs??
[Reply]
So what happens when you lose stomach size..Does the belt still fit and work? If so, how does it adjust to size?
[Reply]
The belt has 3 size settings. When you lose weight you put the pads onto a different size.
[Reply]
does it get rid of baby weight?? i could drop about 20 pounds
[Reply]
There is no substitute for a correct diet and cardio. If it strengthens the muscles, great, but it is not going to remove the fat over the muscles.
[Reply]
I just wanted to say that I have tried the Flex Belt for 3 days and have lost 2 inches off my waist! It really does work. I am 49, and if it works for me, I would say it could work for just about anyone! My children have also been using it and love it!!
[Reply]
hoe many days did u use it and for how long and at what strength?
[Reply]
Do you have to use this along with regular exercise?
[Reply]
Well I am a very small person and my waist is probably at a twenty six or seven, but i am getting the flab and love handles is there a way to make the belt smaller and also am thinking about getting the mini to can you make that smaller somehow?
[Reply]
THIS THING IS AWESOME!
[Reply]
does this belt work for overweight people with flabby stomach
[Reply]
IM 5′9″ 220LBS AND SEEMED TO HAVE STILL KEPT MY UPPER STRUCTURE PRETTY SOLID BUT MY MID SECTION HAS REALLY GOTTEN OUT OF HAND DOES THIS PRODUCT WORK FOR BURNING FAT?
[Reply]
For those of you that are saying that you are seeing results after a few sessions, how long are your “sessions”?
[Reply]
I am a C2 incomplete quadriplegic, would the Flex belt work for me too?
[Reply]
I am through with ordering products online. What stores in Las Vegas, NV, sell the Flex Belt? Thank you. Bob
[Reply]
They apparently have accessories which include support for your arms and butt!
Personally, I want a whole body wrap ;-D
[Reply]
It will not burn fat but if you start a normal cardo program 2 – 3 times a week along with the belt the muscle the belt helps build will increase the amount of fat that is burned.
[Reply]
I have had three hernis repairs and now new hernias. They look like knots bulging from my stomach. Crunches only make them still out more. Will the flex belt work for me.
[Reply]
just orderd mines..hope it works..
[Reply]

[Reply]

[Reply]
yes you do have to set the intensity just hit the up arrows.
[Reply]
HI Where can i get a belt in SOuth Africa ?
[Reply]
I need to know if the Flex Belt would be right for me. I am 15 going on 16. I weigh almost 200 pounds and I am about 5 foot 9. I have a pretty good size guy and i don’t need a six pack I just want my stomach to be flat. Would be right for me and if it is how often should i use i.e. how many days a week and for how long. Also should i still do the same amount of sit ups i would do without.
[Reply]
I don’t have one yet, but they say one session is normally 20mins and can go up to 40mins. And some people use it everyday, but I think that all depends on how strong your setting is and how long your sessions are. I think you should just keep in mind that like w/most things over indulgence can be dangerous and the more you use it probably the sooner you have to replace those pads.
If you get it come back and share. Hope I helped a bit.
[Reply]
I’m 15 and i regularly use this, i’m underweight but this is a great help burning fat. i used to have an inch of fat after my muscle but now it’s all flat
Sessions are 40 minutes each i think, because thats the max time it stays running for without a break 
[Reply]
I read from the editor that the belt is from 27-47 inch waists. If you have a smaller waist, 26 inches or less will is there a belt that would fit and help tone the stomach muscles?
[Reply]
Hi I’m my name is Tony an I am a Pilates /Functional/ Kickboxing and Kettle bell trainer and have had 8 surgeries in the pass 3 1/2 years on my knee, so I haven’t been able to do cardio.But my daily routines aren’t enough to burn body fat,even with controlled diet. I don’t need to work the core to get it tight again It’s very strong it’s Viability is my issue. I need to know if this will work with someone who can balance on their sits bones and do pikes from that position so strength is not the issue or having a strong core.It is the showing threw body fat from not being able to do cardio. I need to look the part again.
[Reply]
i have stomach fat havnt worked out in 3 yrs will this help me lose stomach fat/tone stomach muscles/and will it help with my endurance for doing sit ups?i plan to go to the military will this help
[Reply]
Can this product be used more than once a day?
[Reply]
After checking with customer service, yes, it can.
[Reply]
Will it fit size 25-26 waist?
[Reply]
if you have a 25-26 inch waist you don’t need it! You’re lucky as you are !!
[Reply]
Sometimes just because your waist is a small size doesn’t mean it can’t look a little pudgy or need some toning. I’m 5′3 and remember when I was 120/130lbs (sigh), and when I began 2 gain weight I thought it looked soooo sloppy because I’m such a small person.
I say, if they have and as seen on tv store in your area go in and see if they let you try it on. It sounds like it may fit at first but once you tighten up you may have to purchase your own velcro band and cut that to your size.
[Reply]
How does the Flex Belt compare to the other ab devices that are advertised on TV? Can you vary the degree of the work out?
[Reply]
i wish they had something like this for your thighs :/
[Reply]
they have an accessory called the flex mini skirt or something like that. it works to tone your but and maybe thighs. but they have one that works out your arms which you could possibly work out with on your thighs
[Reply]
I have a Medtronic pump implanted in my right lower quadrant of my abdomen. Will the electrical impulses cause my pump to stop working or interfere with it functioning properly?

What is the youngest age that can use the flex belt?
[Reply]
Hi Kristy, just checked with customer service and they recommend for 14 or older. Hope that helps!

Am an avid runner and in great shape every where except my abs. My weakest point and cannot get rid of the muffin top. Does it get rid of that? And what if you have a 26″waist?
[Reply]
i always do abs workout but its only my upper abs.. but my lower abs didn’t do much.. do these help??
[Reply]
I am 15 and im wondering if this will help me get a 6 pack, i am trimmed up but i still dont have the 6 pack abs i am trying to get. Does this get those abs built for you?
[Reply]
Is the Flex Belt similiar to SlenderTone Belt?
[Reply]
I was wondering the same thing and I read on another site that the Slendertone and Flex are the same company. The difference in the belts are that the Slendertone is the older version of the Flex w/some improvements. The Editor of that site recommended getting the Flex because s/he said the technology was better. Hope I helped.
[Reply]
Can these things be used more than once a day?
Has anyone tried the skirt accessory?-What if you’re used to wearing pants all the time?
[Reply]
I have losing weight for 1 1/2 year now and I still have another 80 to go but my mid section is disgusting and extremely flabby. I have been reading some of the blogs and I read an inquire about a 42 inch waist, well I would like to inquire about a 51.5 inches waist. Would the belt fit my current waist size and if so would it really work my abdominal muscles considering the amount of fat covering them?
[Reply]
It fits up to 52″. You should also do Regular daily exercise. This will help tone your muscles but you are going to have to put in the extra work for the excess.
[Reply]
Can I wear this while I sleep?
[Reply]
I have a 56′ waist line and it looks like it can go to 52′ , Are there any other extentions to buy?
[Reply]
will i get a discount if i order flex belt for both abs and butt
[Reply]
Yes there is a $70 discount for ordering both

how large does the belt expand?what is the biggest size a person can be to use the belt?

I’m a senior and wondering if this belt would hold a charge long enough to work for both my wife and I without a recharge.
[Reply]
ive heard that has a fantastic battery. i beleive one guy said he didnt have to charge it for several weeks using it every day. hope this helps.
[Reply]
I like the flex belt better then the contour abs belt…… The flex belt targets your love handles better than the contour abs belt….
[Reply]
yeah man this belt did it all good.
[Reply]
Hi, I am looking for an easier way to go farther then just a flat stomach. I work out regularly, but I want my abs to pop! I eat right, a lot of protien, and I do alot of the P90x workouts. But I still don’t have the JACKED look I am going for. Is it worth it? I am not concerned about weight loss… just a hardcore toning. How long can the belt stay on? How much extra is the arm band for it? And will it target those hard to work lower pubic bone abs? A good Reply would be very helpful. Thanks ~Tommy~
[Reply]
when you buy the flex belt the arm belt is 129 extra. it’s 199 on it’s own.
this information and other answers to your questions are available on the website from the links in the review. or call customer service. way to research, Tommy
[Reply]
Will the belt target the lower pubic abs? and how long does the charge last? how much extra is the arm band?

I have been using the flex belt for 3 days now. And let me tell you it really works!! I used the program 3 last night and I can feel it this morning!!
[Reply]
heyy. i have a great question, im 13 (almost 14) and i was wondering if i could use the flex belt cuz i weigh about 145 and im trying to loose some weight… thanks!
[Reply]
I’ve tried all all types of metabolism boosters. And I also completed the Shaun T Insanity Workout and go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week. My body is toned… except my stomach. I have back fat and love handles. Will the flex belt do what the other regimens havent been able to do?
[Reply]
Just ordered the Flex Belt – here’s a hint – once you have it on the checkout page, hit the back button and a pop up will offer it to you for $149.99 instead of the $199.99. Save $50! Here’s hoping it works…
[Reply]
I’m using this currently; I started working out in Jan. after yearly check up when my doc said i had to lose weight. I hate sit ups or ab crunches; but liked the cario stuff. This belt WORKS! After a month of doing cardio and wearing belt I lost 15lbs and noticed my waist become smaller. My stomach is so flat now and currently have lost 40lbs! Definitely worth the investment (a personal trainer told me it would cost $1200 to lose the 40lbs over 6mos with him!). You definitely can feel and see a difference : D
[Reply]
Hoe many inches id the flex belt. There is no information anywhere that I can find on this. It would be a waste for me to purchase it and it doesn’t fit.
[Reply]
I have never used this belt, but can’t wait to try it. I would imagine it working best when one does cardio training, as you can not spot reduce. As one loses weight the toned muscle will look awesome and hard,as apposed to flat and soft and possibly weak.
[Reply]
I had major surgery 3 times – cut laterally above belly button down to pubic bone. Sit ups are NOT working and my stomach muscles are SHOT! I’m really curious about the Flex Belt. Any info on results for toning of muscles weakened by surgery?
[Reply]
Just got my belt today, have it on program 4, at 40 intensity right now. Man, this belt is contracting my abs in a serious way!! Will let you know if it works in a few weeks!
