Okay, so I finally got this ab roller wheel after seeing it all over fitness TikTok. First impression? It looks sleek with that black and yellow design – definitely not an eyesore in my tiny apartment gym corner.

The grip is comfy with the foam handles, and I didn’t feel any slipping during my workout. BUT (and this is a big but) the metal rod in the middle is just a tad too long. There’s this annoying gap between the roller and handles that makes them slide side to side when you’re mid-roll. Not ideal when you’re trying to focus on not face-planting.

That said, it’s way sturdier than my last one—no wobbling! Plus, the included knee pads are a nice touch (my floors thank you). My kid even stole it for 'fun rolling races,' so bonus points for being kid-approved.

Verdict: Great for beginners, but if you’re going hardcore, maybe tighten those handles first.
