The packaging of the vibrating rod leaves a positive impression. The shipping box is made exclusively from recyclable and renewable materials such as paper and cardboard and is kept compact, which helps to minimize waste and avoids unnecessary packaging material. The stick is placed in the bag provided, which offers additional protection. However, the use of plastic wrap inside could be reconsidered. Although it protects the product, the use of recyclable material would be desirable.
The contents of the packaging are complete and in good condition. A positive feature is the free training band , which offers additional exercise options. A free training program can be downloaded from the homepage and in this case replaces the instruction manual.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.4 stars. In some cases, there were complaints that the training plan was only available after subscribing to a newsletter. On the other hand, the good workmanship and the fact that the handle was comfortable to hold during training were positively highlighted.

We were able to easily access the training plan online and download it if required.
Prices of up to €94.50 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €18.99 . With a price of €39.97, the swingfit® swing bar is therefore currently in the lower price segment. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
