Summary |
The Sport Elec Shape-N-Tone is one of several abdominal toning devices on the market that uses Electric Muscle Stimulation or EMS technology to provide users with significant benefits, which include the ability to flatten stomach muscles. EMS is a method by which exercise is mimicked through the means of tiny electric pulses. These pulses tighten and release the muscles repeatedly, making it possible for the user to receive a workout while he or she goes about doing normal daily activities, with no need to pay attention to his or her form or motion. However, the design of the Sport Elec Shape-N-Tone may make it less than discreet, meaning that individuals may not be able to use it inconspicuously at any time of day under regular clothing. The FDA cleared Sport Elec Shape-N-Tone can be used on both the midsection and other areas of the body, and it runs on batteries.

Sport Elec is a fairly popular company that seems to make devices other than the Shape-N-Tone. They sell the device through an official Sport Elec Shape-N-Tone website, which features a toll free order line but does not make mention of any third party clinical trials performed on the Shape-N-Tone. We also found no mention of a manufacturer’s warranty. Sport Elec does, however, offer a 30 day satisfaction guarantee policy.

| Conclusion |
|
The simple fact that Sport Elec Shape-N-Tone uses EMS technology makes it a potentially worthwhile product, especially since this technology can help people augment and maximize their workout efforts in a truly convenient manner. Still, some other EMS devices may also garner individuals’ attention with their clear warranty policies, third party research results, and longer satisfaction guarantee policies.
