Transfirmer or fanny lifter? - Page 3

Why in the world did they remake the Fanny Lifter and call it the Transfirmer? That has the potential to confuse people.

Exactly !!!

It is confusing to rename it the Transfirmer. Do you think we can hope for new workouts using this

You will love the Transfirmer. I got rid of my Fanny lifter years ago and bought Cathe's High step. Much more versatile. I am short and 14 inches is not good for my knees so I usually use the 12 inch height. I do have extra risers to make it 14 inches if I need it.

Mine too! That looks smaller but less versatile. You couldn't use that as an incline bench for example.

That's because it isn't a TransFirmer. It's a Fanny Lifter with the word "TransFirmer" written on it. You can use it exactly like a Fanny Lifter.

The workouts are available on ebay at very good prices.

Yes, the Transfirmer can be used for any FIRM w/o that requires a short, tall, or slanted box - - - so, shop away!

Suzie, I too adore your shoes.

Each time I see them I think "There's no place like home".
BTW, do you step dance? I'm green with envy.

Add me to the ranks of the confused. I have both the Fanny Lifter and the Transfirmer, and they're not interchangeable--the Transfirmer is about 3 times as long, side to side, and can be put at an incline or used as a weight bench to lie on. Don't know what the new Transfirmer/Lifter thing shown on the website is...
