I bought this rower for a low impact work out because I had foot surgery. This rower was easy to assemble. I love the way it works. It is small enough for tight spaces but you do need arm room. It's easy to lift & store in an upright position. I'm very happy with the quality & the price. I bought model 35-1050D. I LOVE it !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have used the rower for 2 weeks and have enjoyed the ease of use and portability. Not impressed with the foot mounts,find uncomfortable, I find placing feet on bottom of foot mounts much easier and comfortable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the first piece of exercise equipment I've ever purchased and overall I'm content with it. The only thing I wish it had was a mechanism to make the workout more difficult on the lower body. The hydraulic cylinder works fine for making the workout more difficult for the upper body. I have used resistance bands to anchor the seat to the base of the monitor stand - as a result, when my seat moves back when I row, I now have some resistance. I prop up my phone on the monitor and watch shows while I row to make the hour go by. It's good cardio.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought close to two months ago. I have used it almost every day since then. It is nice to be able to have this machine at home. Very easy to put together and very easy to use. I was not exercising at all. Now I do it almost every day. I feel and look better.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had a wake up call and by that, I mean a heart attack! I decided that my life style had to change, so I started out exercising on a recumbent bike exerciser, but although I was working my lower body and loosing weight, my upper body felt no change. I started to research different exercising machines and came across the BodyTrack Glider 35-1050D, which I purchased, based on the reviews that were posted about it on Amazon. When I received it, I was surprised that it was almost fully assembled and what was left to attach, was quite easy. I am 6' 2" and weighed 252 lbs at time of purchase. I do a 30 minute session daily, fast pace rowing for 5 min increments, with 1 min breaks in between. With just 1 month into my routine, I have lost 4 pounds and I'm starting to get muscle tone back into my upper body. I'm in no hurry to reach my goal, as my doctor always reminds me, slow, but steady. I'd also like to add, that I'm 65 years old, which shows that you're never to old to start exercising. I don't like to exercise, but with this rower, in front of my TV and doing my 30 min. routine, I fine it very invigorating and not boring. The only thing I wish, is that there would have been some workout programs include with the instructions for the BodyTrack Glider 35-1050D, as I couldn't find anything online, so I made up my own. For the price, you can't go wrong and as well built as this machine is, I feel it will be with me, as long as I'm able bodied.
