Our Verdict:
Stamina always had the budget conscious, casual exerciser when they designed the Stamina Body Trac Glider 1050 Rowing Machine. A great find for the bargain hunter, this model stands out in its small, space-saving design, adjustable resistance and sturdy frame and construction. There is a little problem on foot support and the foot straps however; hopefully Stamina could address this and find a more durable material. The molded seat could also use a little extra padding as it tends to get a little uncomfortable with prolonged workouts. Overall, this exercise gadget is a good buy in term of value for money. It can accommodate users up to 250 pounds and about 6 feet in height. If you are a start-up exerciser, this is a good option for you if you dont want to jump into the more expensive models but simply test and find which workout routine will suit you best. |

Customer Feedback-
"Adjustable rowing tension, very sturdy, rigid, and well-built frame, easy to assemble. Takes little room to use. Very low cost." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "I have just purchased this item, and am quite happy with it. Now I don't have to trudge out in the snow to the gym (for WAY less than a gym membership) or have to go outside into the very cold winter to exercise. For the price, it is an excellent value." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "I think the resistance cylinder and the arms are not designed for ball-busting workouts, so I gingerly pull on the arms. Just going through the motion with moderate resistance is achieving my goal so far. Rowing is non-impact, and gives me a legs, core, shoulders and arms exercise... just perfect." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "The seat cannot be adjusted to a shorter distance; I am only 5'2 so it would be nice to be able to shorten it. Resistance is pretty good." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com |
