Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The Stamina X Air Rowing Machine is a welcome addition to our home gym! UNBOXING: It took my husband and I about 4 minutes to unbox the product. We carefully arranged the pieces to make sure everything was included. We were happy to see detailed instructions in the enclosed booklet as well as all the tools and hardware conveniently packaged together. Each item in the tool and hardware package was clearly labeled in English. ASSEMBLY: It took just under 30 minutes to assemble. I read the instructions while my very handy hubby put it together. There were no difficulties in assembling it due to the clearly printed instructions that include detailed diagrams of what goes where. FEATURES I LIKE: *Rubber feet on both the front and back bar to protect your flooring and prevent the item from moving while in use. We put our Stamina X on a large yoga mat as well. *Velcro foot straps which hold your feet securely while rowing. *Comfortable padded seat *Removable pins on frame to allow for folding of the unit for storage *Wheels on the front bar which allow the rower to be moved easily *Monitor display to track your miles, calories burned and time spent exercising. (Note: Batteries are not included - requires 2 "AA batteries) *Comfortable padded handlebar grip which is easy on the hands when rowing *Really smooth gliding. The movement when you're rowing feels very natural As an owner of a gym quality treadmill I wasn't certain how impressed I would be with this home equipment. I was pleased to find out that it's extremely well-made, sturdy and operates really well. I am very happy with both the quality and the performance. I've never done rowing before. I would categorize it as a FUN way to exercise not tedious or boring. I know the Stamina X is already working because my abs, glutes, thighs, forearms and mid-back muscles are sore (in a good way!) I haven't been able to do a lot of running on the treadmill due to pressure on my knees and the rower is way easier on my knees. The included guide has Warm-Up and Cool-Down instructions with suggested stretches. I was able to find a video with correct rowing form online. I would suggest if you're not familiar with proper rowing form to make sure you research this before beginning your workout. As recommended by the manufacturer also check with your doctor before beginning any workout routine. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my fair and honest review. I feel extremely lucky to have had the opportunity and would definitely recommend adding this to cart now!
