Great arm workout- much better than a pulley rope - but does nothing for my legs. I wish you could adjust the tension for legs as well, or that you could raise the seat even higher for more intense workout.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this rower to help me with my New Year's resolution of losing weight. I have used it for 2 weeks and I'm still trying to condition myself to do more than 100 strokes. This is a great workout!! I like the real rowing motion and the wide seat. I thought the seat was going to be uncomfortable but it's not. The seat glides smoothly on the track, I was impressed. Some people have mentioned having trouble keeping their feet in the straps, but I have had no problem. The instructions mentioned there were no batteries included for the display but mine had the batteries. If you want a good cardio workout and a workout for your abs and legs this is it!!

just bought this and the machine performs wonderfully. it works so many of the muscle groups. the seat is molded plastic and has no padding. for those of us with not much behind it is quite hard and painful after ten minutes. cannot seem to find a cushion for the seat. caution on the seat, it is the weakness of the machine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought my rower about a month ago and I love having it! Assembly took me about an hour. Seeing as that we live in a condo, the upright feature was ideal for storage where space is already limited. The seat is not the most comfortable thing, but some of the comfort may depending on your positioning and you can always try adding a folded towel for some cushion.
It's quiet enough where I can get in some exercise early in the morning without waking up my partner.

Haven't exercised in years. Decided to start walking a couple miles a day. But winter will be here before we know it and then what do I do? I decided to get this rowing machine. I am very glad I did. Easy to order, price was great delivered within a week and easy for a 50 something year old woman to put together. I have used it every day since receiving it and feel great. Definitely recommend this for the (serious) beginner. You'll be surprised how enjoyable this is to use!

Great rower

I am a 80 years young woman and have always been physically active. I bought this rower/glider because of the Covid-19 closed the pool I use to swim a mile every other day. I needed a piece of equipment where I could use all 4 limbs to get my heart rate up and muscles working. This Body Trac Glider does this and I really enjoy working out on this piece of equipment. I can feel my muscles working and its also fun. I highly recommend this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a competitive oarsman, and this is my second BodyTrac 1050 rower. That says a lot more than the ****1/2 stars I am assigning it.
First, the BT has a small footprint, stores easily and is light enough to move with ease. Second, the mechanics are simple and sensible. They require simple maintenance, like lubricating the shocks and tightening bolts. Third, it’s durable. My first BT lasted 12 years. Fourth, the action reminds me more of actual rowing than those expensive rope pulled machines. Fifth the BT is the best buy for the money I’ve seen.
My major criticism is the unusable round cap on the handle. I removed it and redesigned the handle to lengthen it, make the angle more horizontal, and offer a couple of grip options. I will do the same with my new BT. I hope the designers will address this issues, for the next BT I buy.

I bought this item recently and was impressed with its sturdy construction and how easy it was to assemble in a short span of time. Since it relies on a hydraulic mechanism as opposed to other row machines offering water, air, and magnetic resistance, it's not quite consistent in the resistance in my experience with it. When I pull the handles back to begin a workout, it's rather stiff, but after 10-15 minutes the resistance lessens making it easier to pull back on the handles. I would sometimes have to adjust the settings to compensate. But you have to be careful not touching the hydraulic piston on the underside of this row machine as it gets very hot to the touch.
The foot pads do not offer heel support to keep your feet (heel-end) anchored properly even with the pedal straps securely fastened. I've had to follow the advise of another customer, who bought this machine too, to buy and jury-rig (or jerry-rig) something to keep my heels and the rest of my feet anchored to the pedals while conducing my workouts with this device. Even with my the straps tightly secured, I find my feet slowly slipping off the bottom lip of the foot pedals. Reference attached picture.
I like the fact that it can sit up for storage. It's light enough for me to carry but I do wish they had caster wheels on the front end (where the foot pedals are) of the supporting brace where you can lift the machine and roll it away as opposed to carrying it.
Because it uses the hydraulic method, it's much quieter than other row machines using air and water resistance.
Overall, it's a good starter machine if you are looking for something quiet, low impact, and inexpensive.
I would recommend this to a friend!
