Review of Stamina InMotion Rowing Machine

The design is somewhat similar to the fitness equipment of the 1990s, although it is easier to use. Sunny Fitness has a similar model (we will probably consider it soon).

If it’s not really a rowing machine, what is it? Can you adjust it to yourself?

Let’s start by taking it out of the box. Some assembly is necessary, but even the one who challenged you can do it. It’ll only take about 20 minutes, then you sit on it and row. The chair is probably normal for the price, but if you get close to a weight limit of 250 pounds, you’ll feel uncomfortable – it’s not a big chair. See here tips for improving seating .

The rowing position is normal, but as mentioned before, rowing on the water is not repeated. This is not a problem if you are just looking for a machine that needs to stay in shape (although this has its limits – see below). The foam grips on the handle provide a comfortable grip, but we doubt if anyone can use them for a long time to make bubbles a problem.

The leg rest rotates, which is very important for a model with this action. Wide straps keep the legs firmly in place, but like all Velcro fasteners it loses its grip if it is not stripped of its fluff.

A single piston under the central column provides muscle resistance during traction. Most domestic rowers use hydraulics for the resistance mechanism because it is cheap. All pistons face the same problem with prolonged use – see here the advantages and disadvantages of hydraulically controlled machines.

You can select one of 5 resistance levels to increase the load. This is done by changing the position of the piston on the middle column of the handles. This means you have to stop rowing to adjust the difficulty level, which is uncomfortable if you warm up during training.

The angle of the beam increases the speed of the legs, but does not affect the action – it’s certainly not a smooth ride!

Display
For a model that costs about $100, you don’t expect much from a display.

The small LCD display shows how many calories you’ve burned, the number of strokes and the duration of the session – although it’s not easy to read when you use it because it’s attached to the handle.

Note, however, that the number of calories is only an estimate based on the number of strokes performed.

Abstract :
Of course, any car worth a hundred dollars will be limited in its performance. In the best case you will get a compact machine with which your cardiovascular system can do a short workout. But if you really want to adapt to the rowing machine, you have to spend at least three times as much.

Durability: Rating

We love… Very low costs A compact machine – space-saving With 5 resistance levels Mounting bracket Lightweight and easy to move – stored vertically

We don’t like… The action is not like rowing and is not smooth. It’s hard to read the screen when you use it. Not suitable for people older than 5′ 11 Typical problems with all piston rudders (see above) Not very stable due to the light weight. Effortlessly change the resistance

Technical specification : Type of resistance : Maximum customer specific weight : Dimensions : The weight of the car: Hydraulic 250 lb 57(L) x 24(B) x 19(H) 29 lb Warranty: 1 year per image. 3 months for spare parts.
