It’s very sturdy and an excellent product, I used it 3 times a day for 20 mins for 5 months after my knee replacement and it was absolutely wonderful and very effective in helping me regain my range of motion. I don’t understand how another reviewer had hers break within 2 weeks. **Q: Is there an option to adjust the resistance?** A: No, but you can raise the front or back to change the angle of exercise, to engage the hamstrings or quadriceps muscles. It’s not meant to be an aerobic exercise machine, it’s meant to increase the range of motion of your knees. I can’t recommend it highly enough. I used it after knee replacement surgery and it worked better than the sliding exercise my physiotherapist taught me. I just sat in a kitchen chair with arns and watched TV. It’s perfect **Q: How does the fitglider help with strengthening my hip?** A: It strengthens the thigh muscles especially if you incline the front and do reps then turn it around and incline the back and complete reps. **Q: Does this help with weight loss?** A: I bought it for exercising my knees. All activity burns some calories, but I’m not sure that weight loss was the main goal for Bob & Brad when they designed it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use, effective! *by on Reviewed in the United States October 26, 2020* The FitFLIDE has been a God send for the swelling in my feet and ankles... and as I've used it, it has significantly improved my knee. Much less pain! I thought it was a little pricey when I ordered it, but it has proved to be worth every penny. I could have ordered the unit with the one side, and almost did due to cost, but I finally opted for the double and I'm so glad I did... it's helped my bad knee and I'm pretty sure it's going to strengthen my good one to avoid the same issues I've had with the other one. Definitely recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great if you can't bend your knee enough to use an exercise bike or elliptical. *by on Reviewed in the United States February 3, 2021* My mother-in-law is getting knee replacement surgery in a few months. In the meantime her doctor wanted her to use an exercise bike or something like the Cubii every day before and after surgery. We tried both of those with her and she was unable to bend her knee enough to use them. I saw this on YouTube and thought it was worth a try. She had no trouble using this at all, and can easily use it in her wheelchair, at the dining room table or from her lift recliner in the living room. I use it too, and it gives a pretty good workout! I definitely feel it in my upper legs, hips and calves. We plan on showing it to her surgeon. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It Works! *by on Reviewed in the United States September 25, 2020* I bought Fit Glide to strengthen my legs one month prior to knee replacement surgery and of course, to use after surgery during rehab. I was skeptical; how could sliding my feet forward and back do anything? After 1 minute of activity, my muscles gave me the answer. After one week of use, I am able to do three minutes and will continue to lengthen session. I have gained strength; now able to use right leg to lead climbing stairs which I was unable to do prior to work on FitGlide. Thanks Bob and Brad for a great product. ## Frequently Bought Together - OPTP FitGlide by Bob & Brad – Knee Glider for Knee Replacement, Leg Exerciser and Rehabilitation Device for Knee and Hip Replacement, ACL or PCL Surgery and Stroke - for Low Impact Exercise - KneeSled™ Ultra Stretch Strap Best Choice for Physical Therapy U.S.A. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/219417516-optp-fitglide-by-bob-and-brad-knee-glider-for-rehab](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/219417516-optp-fitglide-by-bob-and-brad-knee-glider-for-rehab) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
