Stamina Products 35-1205 Low Impact Home Fitness Precision Rowing Machine

AT 62 years old I am looking for a low impact method for weight loss and full body work out. This is what I have looked for, for sometime. I do 30 minutes a day for 3 days, then a day off, then again 3 on 1 off. I have been a walker for sometime, but that just did not provide the upper body workout. No, not looking for bulk, just to maintain and yes shape up the upper body. I can already tell the difference, and I have only been using mine now for a couple of weeks. Best money I have spent on equipment, (and I ride a $1200 bike)! As to durability, still too new to determine, but construction appears to be sound.

This is everything I expected! Everyone in the household gets a workout. I bought this product as an alternate form of exercise during bad weather when running was not an option. Three people use this rower daily!

Great product. It does work the entire body. You can adjust it to a strong or light tension if you want to workout longer to build that endurance and heart strength or to workout heaver to build more muscle. The motion while using it does feel very natural and comfortable. I would recommend this product to friends.

This rower made you feel like you were in a canoe .. Felt great to row and get into shape!

Great for a beginner or for someone who exercises regularly. May also be good for cross-training. Easy to assemble! I would definitely recommend this piece of gear to anyone.

I just put this together with the help of a friend and his tools. It was not hard to assemble, but did require tools that I did not have. A socket set or a good wrench is needed. I find the machine easy to use and it seems to target multiple muscle groups. It is flat enough to store under my bed when I need it out of my way. I look forward to using it regularly.

For a first time rower, this is a good deal. Admittedly, I have only had the rower for two weeks and two days, but I have used it almost every day. My mother has also been visiting for the last week and using it. Both of us warm up on the treadmill and then move on to the rower for a good workout. Fun: This is much more fun than a treadmill or elliptical. The sliding motion is smooth on this rower, as is the handlebar motion. Setup: It took 1.5 hours to put together. Usage: You will have to put some WD40 on the hinges within the first day or two. Mine has been silent after that, though. Make sure the bolts on the resistance are tightened well, too, or they'll slip down during use. Concerns: Wear and tear. I paid $200 for this, and I suspect that means it's only worth $100 at best. I purchased the 3-year warranty, and my hope is it will survive the three years. I honestly don't expect it to last longer, but maybe I'll be proven wrong. I would definitely recommend this based on my (limited) experience thus far.

Have had this about 2 months. So far, I really like it. I do a quick 50-100 daily. The only issue is that I wish there were locking wheels on the bottom to move it. I stand it up against the wall when I'm done using it daily. Would be so much easier with those locking wheels.

This is a very well-built machine, and has held up nicely to daily use. The assembly instructions were easy to follow, however, I feel a comment should be added indicating to not over tighten the bolts connecting the shocks to the mounting brackets. During assembly, the paint on the bracket areas underneath the bolting cracked and fell off. This is purely cosmetic, but it takes away from the clean look of the rower. Perhaps larger washers should also be used.

This is a very good rowing machine . It was easy to assemble and seems very sturdy. It is also compact enough that it's easy to store. I am really pleased with this purchase. My only complaint, and it is a minor one, is that the timer/calorie counter/repetition counter is absolutely a piece of junk. It spontaneously turns on and off so it is not reliable. I sm using an ap on my phone to time my workout, so it's not a big deal, but this rower would be greatly improved by having a good tracker.
