Product Description
The Chi Energizer (sold as the Chi Vitalizer* in the USA) is a best seller, a hugely popular machine that is superior to the original Chi Machine in numerous ways. It features a unique elliptical motion pattern that gently moves through the spine. Advanced engineering at a more affordable price. The Chi Machine primarily maximizes both physical and mental oxygenation, increases your energy, aligns your spine, raises your metabolic rate, improves your blood circulation and enables detoxification. This aerobic exerciser also massages, regulates, tones and relaxes the body without any stress or effort. -- PERSONAL TESTIMONIAL: "I was introduced to the Chi Energizer (Chi Vitalizer in USA) five months ago and have since used it 15 minutes twice per day, a total of more than 250 sessions. I am 58 years old and have played competitive squash for more than 40 years, so my body has been vigorously exercised more than most. Tiredness and muscular stiffness has been accepted by me as something you live with. Since using the Chi Energizer (Chi Vitalizer in USA) I am amazed at how these feelings have disappeared.... My body organs are functioning like a well tuned car, it's a fantastic feeling!" - Carlos Prince, Brooklyn, NY

I've had the Chi Energizer for just over 2 weeks and already I can feel a difference. I have fibromyalgia and back and neck problems so my muscles are very sore almost all the time. I had gotten some relief from acupuncture, but after doing that every week for over a year, it started to be less effective. The first few days of using the Chi Energizer I felt kind of odd, not terrible but not great either. I attributed this to my body getting used to the machine and what it was doing for me. Now, 2 weeks later, I still use it twice a day and the difference is noticable. I sleep better, my neck and back pain, while not completely gone, is greatly improved. I'm hoping with continued use, it will get even better.
I know that it's helping because the first few days, only my legs moved. The muscles in my back and neck were so tight that they just wouldn't budge! But, little by little they eased up.
It's very relaxing too. I put a sleep mask over my eyes and put my headphones on and turn my ipod on to whatever I'm in the mood to listen to and the 15 minutes just flies by!

I am 78. I spend much of the day at my computer with the consequence that my feet swell up. But I HATE exercising. A real computer potato.
The Chi Vitalizer seemed like the perfect answer, but the directions recommend using the machine on the floor. I dutifully lumbered down, hitched myself up to the machine and let 'er rip. It is a pleasant sensation, rather like being shook up in a cocktail shaker sideways. But getting back up off the floor is for me-I'm OLD- an awful chore, so I began to put off using the machine.
I decided to try the Vitalizer right on my bed, which is reasonably firm. Well, I couldn't see any difference between the shakeability of the machine on the mattress and the gyrations on the floor. I'm no light weight, either, 150 pounds and I'm tall. The machine's motor is apparently quite powerful.
So, if you're young enough to pop up and down by all means use the floor, but if not, don't hesitate to get the machine and try it on your bed. You could always get a piece of plywood to put under you if necessary.
Actually, this Chi exercising is quite addictive. When you come off the machine you'll feel a very slight tingling all over. As for my feet, the swelling is gone after a 15 minute work-out. During the session your tummy will get exercised like Santa's bowlful of jelly and you feel that something is really happening. Totally bored by an exercise bike and a treadmill, I passed on these expensive items and don't miss them a bit.
Anyway, if you're elderly there's hope for you with this machine, trust me.If you're young, you've got it made, right on the floor!
Good luck and Godspeed!
Great Item!!! September 24, 2007

Back, Knee, or Leg pain? You need this product! February 28, 2009

Saw a version of this product advertised in a reputable national magazine. I was intrigued by the concept. The claims made by the manufacturer of the product seemed reasonable to me.
However, the product that I saw advertised was priced at around $400----pretty hefty price. I would never have considered purchasing the product at such an over-inflated cost.
As usual, Amazon.com had several similar products---most priced at around $200.00.
Since I have constant back, knee and leg pain, which is extremely unpleasant as well as depressing, I was very open to trying out the "Chi-Energizer."
Have had the product for over three months. Can't sing the praises of this machine enough! If you wake up in the morning, stiff and feeling terrible because your back and your knees are throbbing with pain, you can get rid of the pain and the stiffness by spending 15 minutes first thing in the morning on the "Chi-Energizer."
Fifteen minutes on this machine will loosen the leg muscles and joints and get the blood flowing into your legs. It is truly amazing the difference the machine makes in how your legs, back and knees feel.
The machine has an automatic shut-off timer at 15 minutes. However, if I have the time in the morning, I turn the machine back on and go another 15 minutes for a total of 30 minutes. The soft, gentle, swaying movements are unbelievably relaxing and soothing. Afterwards your legs feel tingly and light. It's an indescribably wonderful feeling and a great way to start your day!
There have been several reviewers who have complained that the foot rests on this machine aren`t adequately padded and that the foots rests are so uncomfortable that they can`s use the machine. These reviewers may simply have extra sensitive feet and ankles.
One of the natural changes, which occur as we age, is that we start losing layers of fat around our ankles and especially on the heels of our feet. This natural loss of fat can cause a lot of pain. The lost fat provided a nice protecting padding to our ankles and the heels.
However, for a person with normal feet and ankles who do have sensitive ankles and feet, the foot rests are well padded and more than adequate. If for some reason, the foot rests on the machine are uncomfortable, an easy solution is to take a lightweight bath towel, fold it up and place it over the foot rests. This should provide more than enough padding.
If back, knee or leg problems are causing considerable pain, this is the product for you!
On the days when I get too busy and don't use my Chi Energizer, I can really tell a difference in how my back, knees and legs feel.
Highly recommend! Very pleased with the Chi Energizer. Wouldn't be without it.
Great product! October 15, 2008

I have been using my Chi machine for a couple of weeks on a daily basis.
I can tell a big difference in how my digestive system is working. No more problems with "elimination". My husband is also using the machine and is able to go to sleep quicker and is waking up feeling more rested.
We have seen other benefits, as well, but these are the 2 problems we were hoping would be helped and they have been.
Any other benefits are just "the icing on the cake"!
