I've seen some awful fitness gadgets and claims over the last 30 years or so in my training but the Shake Weight has to be up there with the worst.
Everything they claim in their marketing is complete and utter nonsense to put it lightly. The video says you will look like the models in 6 minutes a day and is the classic way to sell fitness products to the ignorant man or woman sitting on the couch with a remote control and a credit card.
Shake weights claim to use "Revolutionary new technology called Dynamic Inertia", a statement that has Galileo turning in his grave.
Great parody and music below from Frisco Rails on YouTube
It’s time to rid the world of them and other disgraceful fitness products, so very shortly I will have some on my eBay link from my website:-

If you buy one from me and send me some YouTube video footage of the Shake Weight you purchased being destroyed in a public place, I will personally guarantee you the following:-
For every one bought from me and destroyed (with the video evidence as proof), I will donate £5 of my own money to Breast Cancer
That’s not all; for the most creative piece of video footage sent to me between 1st September 2010 and 31st August 2011, the winner will receive a FREE 12kg Pro-Kettlebell worth £40 (
Videos will be judged on the following criteria:-
- Comedy content
- The creative method of destruction
- How public you made it
