The VIGBODY HL-5230 Indoor Cycling Bike is a break from the old-fashion design, conventional indoor bikes. It has a minimalist and more modern design which many users have found impressive because of its eye-catching appearance and ease of use.

The bidirectional 35 lbs (15.8 kg) flywheel is not bad for a home-use exercise bike and is more than enough for your needs. Increase or decrease the intensity of your workout for the desired challenge level with the tension resistance control knob attached to the frame. It’s perfectly customizable to all user skill levels.

The VIGBODY HL-5230 Indoor Cycling Bike comes equipped with a simple fitness console that features an LCD that displays valuable workout statistics for distance, time, speed, and calories burned. This helps you track your performance and measure progress every step of the way.

Add progressive air resistance to your next in-home workout with the Efitment Aero Rowing Machine RW036. Maintain optimal stability when you strap your feet onto the large footplates. Slide with ease on the durable 51-inch steel slide rail supports a maximum user weight capacity of up to 245 pounds.

Engage the RW036 with the smooth, maintenance-free belt-drive mechanism to activate the progressive fan resistance. With progressive air resistance, the harder you pull, the more resistance you’ll feel on this rower machine. This rower’s resistance is dynamic; you are not restricted by the number of settings on a magnetic rower.

The Efitment Aero Rowing Machine RW036 comes equipped with an onboard digital fitness console. Track your time, stroke count, calories burned, and strokes per minute with the easy-to-use digital display during your full-body cardio workout. It does not have a pulse reading function. So, if you require pulse monitoring, you’ll need to use a separate device such as the Wahoo TICKR FIT Heart Rate Monitor.

The RW036 features a wide contoured seat for added comfort while you glide on the slide rail. Slide your feet onto the ergonomic foot pedals with adjustable straps to maintain maximum stability as you row. Grasp the pulling handle and pull your arms toward your body while extending your legs for a rhythmic motion.

Last Updated: June 18, 2021 Published on June 17, 2021 By RobertRowers 2 Comments

The XTERRA ERG650W Rowing Machine will help you get the most out of your training. I was also impressed by the build quality. The heavy-duty dual aluminum covered rails provide a quiet, smooth, and efficient workout while withstanding a lifetime of regular use. This machine has a maximum user weight capacity of up to 350 pounds (159 kg).

Its core is a water tank and a durable, multi-bladed impeller to give you the most effective workout possible. With this in mind, XTERRA took that idea a step further and angled the tank at 45-degrees for an increased range of resistance. As a result, the ERG650W water tank provides an authentic rowing feel and soothing sound.

The XTERRA ERG650W comes equipped with a large 5.5″ fitness console that tracks the usual workout data you would expect, including time, distance, stroke rate, and pulse. No matter what your goals are, the ERG650W rower includes 15 workout programs to keep you engaged. In addition, there are programs to track your strokes, target calories, distance, and more. Once you get your training going, you can even race against the computer to see who wins.

The seat is very comfortable, and it slides smoothly and quietly up and down the angled rails. The seat is also 15″ off the floor, which gives it the feel of a commercial machine, plus it makes it easy to get on and off. Your feet are held securely in place with wide footrests and thick bands. And lastly, the handle has a suitable diameter, is well-padded, and sits nicely in the hands.

Published on June 16, 2021 By RobertRowers 2 Comments

The MaxKare Air Rowing Machine features a steel mainframe and special triangular structure for the machine’s stability. The maximum user weight capacity is up to 264 pounds. This MaxKare Air rowing Machine has a spacing-saving foldable design. The foldable size: 40.5” (L) x 19.7” (W)x 42.1” (H).

This MaxKare Rower comes equipped with an air resistance system. Its resistance-generating element is the large fan at the front, and the machine does not have any additional magnetic brake for extra resistance control. The lack of a resistance adjustment element shouldn’t matter too much, though, because any air rower provides a dynamic response anyway.

The MaxKare Air Rowing Machine comes equipped with a fitness console that tracks time, distance, count, calories, scan. It doesn’t have any worked-in Bluetooth programs, and it doesn’t interface online to any fitness apps. It also doesn’t have a pulse function, so you’ll have to use a separate device if you need to monitor your pulse.

The comfortable ergonomic seat made of PU (polyurethane) makes your exercise experience more comfortable. Also, the large non-skid footplates and the adjustable nylon foot straps fit most foot sizes. Lastly, the pulling handles strap is high-quality nylon, durable, and the handle comes padded for comfort.

A Guide to Home Gyms

Last Updated: June 18, 2021 By RobertHome Gyms Leave a comment

A “home gym” is a person’s workout room within their home and may include various items of fitness equipment, such as treadmills, rowing machines, free weights, and other accessories that help them with their training. However, the term “home gym” also refers to specific strength training systems, such as weight stack cable machines, functional trainers, or Smith machines, built for residential use. These are typically available for a more affordable price than similar machines made for commercial gym usage.

The term is quite inclusive, and the fitness equipment or machines that fall into this category are quite different from one another. My home gym category here addresses seven types of fitness machines labeled as home gyms.

These are weight stack machines, smith machines, cable crossovers (or functional trainers), power racks, power towers, flex-rod home gyms, and bodyweight fitness benches. Each type has its specifics, strengths, weaknesses, etc. Therefore, if you’re looking to purchase a particular home gym machine, in this guide, we’re going to point out their strengths and weaknesses and the most important aspects to consider about them.
