I purchased the S.A.M. in October of 2020. Finally, I thought somebody designed a back handspring, back and front flipping machine!!! My own gymnastics and teaching experience spans over 40 years and I am extremely pleased with this self spotting machine. Once my students started using S.A.M. they quickly advanced from doing back handspring and back tucks in the S.A.M. to be able to perform the skills on the tumble track and then the floor. The S.A.M. is also a great fun feature for recreational programs of all ages.

Easy to set up and pack away ,and an excellent way of improving technique in the somersults and twisting.

We LOVE the Sam Spotting System!! It has helped our athletes to advance at a much more rapid pace than standing, waiting to be spotted. It has helped drastically in their abilities to obtain confidence with themselves in their tumbling at a much faster pace! It allows them the ability & control to work on & obtain their skills without a human spotter at their side. It truly gives them the "feel" of throwing their skill themselves. They are able to feel & know their faults much more easily therefore working to fix them & obtain their skill at a much faster pace.

We all have a crush on SAM here at Concordia University! We use it for layouts, full basket drills and even cleaning up basic skills such as springs or tucks. It has been one of the best investments our cheer program has made.

We had been anxiously awaiting our SAM unit. We did a teaser on facebook to gain some anticipation with our gym and followers of our gym. Most did not know what they were anticipating but just knew it was something that would be a help to them learning new skills. When it was shipped we revealed the product to them. This was a fun and exciting time at the gym. Finally it arrived and we set it up. Since we are making a permanent home for it other large equipment had to be moved.
The first person to try our SAM was a coach's son. Not a gymnast. He was amazed at how well he could tuck. Finally a coach and a Sr. level cheerleader got to use it. She pronounced it great for practice and expects it to be a great help to many of our gymnasts and cheerleaders.
Next week all our coaches will undergo training on SAM and then we will roll it out to the appropriate gymnasts and cheerleaders.
Thank you for the development of a great training product for gymnasts and cheerleaders.

It was clear to me the moment I set up our new SAM unit that this was something special. Clearly, a lot of thought and engineering went into the design. It is an extremely easy to use and functional training tool of the highest quality. We have been so impressed that I plan to add multiple units to our facility and build classes/clinics around SAM.

Just received the SAM. The setup was quick and easy just as the video shows. I am very pleased with the quality of the device, it is very well made and easy to use. The staff at SAM has been very helpful as well. My girls are enjoying and safely improving their skills at the same time.

This is a AWESOME product. Does everything they say it will do and to be a 40 year old dad being able to do flips and not being trained along with feeling VERY safe at doing this activity says alot for the design of the product! I would give it 10 stars if they would allow it
