Nice workout, not for serious heavy duty stuff, but nice.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

It can be a little loud but it's worth it! Very simple to set up and stores wonderfully. You get a great all over workout and a good "stretch" as well.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

The machine provides good service for the money, even keeps track of your strokes and time. [...]

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I use this product every day and really love it. It was easy to assemble and it's very easy to use. I do wish the foot straps were adjustable - they are a little high for my small feet - but that's about the only thing I could suggest for improvement.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

My 8 year old son helped me put it together, set up is that easy. I think he likes using it more then I do. Great storage, out of the way. Hope it helps with weight loss and upper body strength training- only time will tell. next best thing to actually being on the water.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I've been using my rowing machine regularly for 30-45 minutes per day 4-5 days a week for strength, toning and weight loss. The only problem I find with machine is the poor quality foot pedal. Overall I am very satisfied with the machine and everyone in my household uses it from age 12 and up.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

It's lightweight, and works fine for the general user. If you need heavy-duty training then you will be a sturdier (and hence more expensive) rower. But it's great for my daily cardiac exercise.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I think that I definitely got my money's worth with this rowing machine. I really like the fact that the handles move in rotation. This and the tension setting gives the arms a good workout. I have only been using the machine for two weeks but have already lost 4 pounds with very little dieting involved. My abs are tighter and my arms are becoming strong and defined, as are my legs.

The one and only thing that I don't like about the machine is the seat. It is quite hard and quickly becomes uncomfortable for me.

Overall, a great buy for the money.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

This machine, for the price, is a great deal!
It is sturdy and was easy to put together and it does not take up much space when folded...

The only problem I've had is the footrests. They don't hold your feet down too well, but for the price you can't expect it to be perfect!

All in all, I'm glad I purchased this machine and look forward to using it for as long as I can.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I made some adjustments to the shoe straps since my feet kept slipping out at the bottom. I actually bolted shoes on! The display is useless. I would like to have distance or speed not just how many strokes rowed. I just put some non flammable oil on the seat to reduce noise, but there was also a loose bearing I had to fix. But the work out is good and for the price its been great! It's the only one I found where the handles rotate.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I purchased it because bad weather stopped me to go out & exercise. Now I'm using it in a regular base no matter the weather.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I use the rowing machine to strengthen my heart. I especially like how smooth it glides back and forth. I dislike nothing.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

This is a great product for a total body workout. I use it every day and love it. When I read the reviews the only problem that stood out was that people were saying they had trouble keeping their feet in the slots. I have had no such problems. I just don't think they are strapping themselves in correctly.
All in all this an excellent buy. I would recommend it to anybody looking for a fun way to do cardio and body workouts.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I really like getting on this machine. I start rowing and I lose track of time, which allows me to get a great workout. The only minor thing I dislike is the seat. It is slightly uncomfortable, which can be distracting. But if you can work past it and get into a rhythm, you may not notice it after a bit.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

This is the best exercise machine I ever had & I have had too many. I love to row, I look out the window & feel like I am going some where. The first week I toned & lost weight. I use the machine every other day for 5-10 mins.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

As I get older, I need to keep toned and maintain muscle mass. This rower does that and more. If you have knee problems, like I do, bracing your feet on the peddles and remaining stationary on the seat totally isolates your upper body and works all the muscle groups with no strain on the knees. The movement is exactly that of rowing oars in a row boat which gives full range of motion. Best purchase I've made in a while.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I was expecting a less flimsy machine and have found I need to keep my feet firmly on the floor rather than in the less than useful foot holds

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

Its good for people like me that have arthritis and have to do low impact exercises

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

THE ONLY ISSUE I HAD WAS THAT THE FOOT HOLDERS ARE IN AN AWKWARD POSITION.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

My doctor recommend exercise that would not be hard on my knees and this machine helps me do just that.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

When I first got this, I could only do 50 strokes. I'm up to 130 strokes, so it must be doing something. My energy levels are up and I've lost a few pounds (135 down to 132 lbs). My only complaint is that my feet want to slip out of the foot holders. They need to fix this and send customers replacement foot thingys.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

Velcro straps do not keep feet/shoes on foot rests, and workout gets interrupted. Manufacturer should try to resolve this. Otherwise, the product is very effective.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

The machine is really fun to use. It is easy to set up. The only flaw is the straps for the feet. They are too high and I added straps to hold my feet at the bottom.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

had to duct tape shoes to foot pads so they would not slip out, but for the price, it's a good product

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I've been using my rowing machine and find it to be average. I have difficulty with the foot pads not fitting very well. I have to stop often to velcro tighter onto my shoes. It has lots of queaks and doesn't row smoothly.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

The row machine was purchased a part of my new fitness program after gastric-bypass surgery. My first routine for fitness is bellydancing. My second 'machine' choice is the rowing machine. I use it in the privacy of my bedroom, and once I get started I am forced off by my daughter. Thus far, I've lost 36 lbs in 34 days!

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

Hoping to see results in my stomach,lose weight, was hoping it would go under my bed but it's to high

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I bought this product on a limited budget for my wife. Over the years she has had exspensive bulk equipment so when she asked for a rowing machine I thought oh no not another coat rack. But when I recieved the machine it was light and easy to store. I like it so much I use it and thats saying alot.Great price.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I am too short for something on this machine. It doesn't give me the best arm action, and my lower back is stressed by all this. There is no way to adjust for shorter legs.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE PISTON ALREADY AND IT IS LEAKING AGAIN. AS THE HYDRAULIC FLUID LEAKS OUT, IT NOT ONLY MAKES A MESS, BUT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO OPERATE THE ROWER.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

this is a very good warmup machine. not enough resistance for a true workout, but enough to build endurance or to slightly increase heartrate. it is a little on the flimsy side, but at this price i didnt expect it to be rock-solid built.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

Very good exerciser. I use it 3 times a week. Can't beat it for the price.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

The thing we did not like was when the shock absorber was leak on my carpet, The machine was practically new (within the year) and we had to "purchase a new shock absorber" we feel the company did not stand behind its product & or service

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

This rowing machine is an excellent way to both unwind after a work day and to maintain physical flexibility and tone. I look forward to rowing to release tensions from work and find it a great way to combine watching a television show with being active. it's easy to store and to use. I am very happy with it.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I exercise every other day. Just a few minutes & I can feel my muscles becoming stronger. You don't need more than 5 mins to start to loose weight. Imagine when you are proficient.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

A lot of rower for the money! I use it 1st thing in the morning. It gets me energized for the whole day. The seat could stand to be a tad more comfortable, but it is acceptable. It is fun to use and the rowing motion is more like using real oars. I have used other rowing machine styles, and I like this one the best. I actually look forward to exercising with this machine. This has not been the case with other fitness machines I have purchased. It is light weight and easy to carry from room to room. I like the way it folds up and stands up on end, so you can move it aside and tuck it away after using it.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I agree with the comments that the foot holders are not very convenient, but it does not ruin the workout for me. The counter seems to count every few repititions, not every one. I do like the machine--it's a great alternative to going to the gym on a day when I just don't feel like leaving the house. It's an especially good value.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

Its a great beginners home gym addition. I bought it in an effort to lose weight and get a cardio workout. Let me tell you - it works! It is simple, easy to use, it keeps track of time and strokes, you cant ask for more for the price. It's great in front of the TV or even outside on the porch!!

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

There's 2 defaults which appeared after the end of the warranty.
1 - The major bolt is damaging a plastic part on the axis of rotation. It could have been avoided without such a long thread of the bolt. I am an engineer and I know that some business cases include 40% of revenues coming from spare parts. This is a good example of issue built on purpose.
2 - Even on the maximum resistance set-up, the resistance is going down after less then 5 minutes. It's useless.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

This is a great machine. The one drawback that I have found is the foot rest. The way that it is made allows your foot to slip out of the harness quite easily. I had to modify it so that it stays on my feet. Other than that, this is a great machine and I am able to get a great workout on it.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

The seat screws scrape against the center rail. This requires lubrication and perfect rowing form
to avoid wear on screw ends

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

This product is so easy too use, even I can use it. Made quite well,very sturdy,and the workmanship is quite professional. I would recommend this Rowing Machine to anyone who is interested.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

The counter/display stopped working within the first month of use

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

Works well for me. Low impact, easy to use.
Excellent overall strength conditioning.
Also helps keep me fexiable.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I had to throw this product out. I was never able to use it. [...] I got one missing part and that was it. They implied I was unable to assemble the device and the part was there, but I did not know it. So, I paid for this. And I never used it. Avoid this rower and merchant. Find something that you can use for your money.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

Good for home ex but unable to use due to cervical spine surgery nad lower back fusion.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

You can change the resistance as you increase your strengthe..

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

have a problem with the foot straps. they do not hold the foot secure and when you glide back your feet pull out. my feet are too small for this machine.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I use it between my weight training for cardio. It's great because it switches up my routine to work other muscles. It can get a bit monotonous because I feel like I do on a treadmill---running and rowing nowhere..We live in Buffalo N.Y. so weather prohibits my outdoor rowing. This is an all right alternative. Not great but o-k.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

This is one piece of exercise equipment that I'm still using. I have diabetes and must exercise every day. This is convenient when I can't walk because of weather or time.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

Only problem is keeping feet in position. Could use better method than velcro straps to keep feet/shoes on foot rests.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I use the row machine because of knee problems that I have and is easy impact on my knees. The monitor has never worked since I got the machine. The rollers on the seat squeak so it is not as quiet as I would like.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I am very petite and this machine works fine for me. I have to get creative with the velcro straps for the feet, but now that I have it figured out my feet stay in just fine. Great for the heart and muscle tone.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

I haven't used it very much, or even as much as I should. Use is not very noisy but it could be a little quieter. The storage is ok if you have room as it doesn't fold up real small but it will fit under a bed. It was very easy to setup and came with all tools necessary and very detailed instructions.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

Like so many others have said, the foot straps are an issue but that didn't stop me from buying it. It's still a great machine for the price.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:

service is good BUT the shocks leak, I'm on the 4th shock & leaks too. I bought a new rower through a different company & Its been wonderful..no issues.

Comments about Stamina Stamina Body Trac Glider:
