XTERRA Fitness TRX3500 Folding Treadmill | 30 Preset Programs

Last Updated: January 13, 2023 By RobertTreadmills 6 Comments

The XTERRA Fitness TRX3500 Folding Treadmill is a good option for shoppers with smaller treadmill budgets. It meets performance standards set for higher-priced treadmills. I also like that the TRX3500 supports two user profiles and delivers various customizable exercise programs.

Key features include a two-ply 60″ x 20″ workout surface, a 3.0 HP drive motor, a power incline to 12 percent, 30 preset workout programs, and a heart rate-controlled workout program with a wireless chest strap. Unfortunately, the HR chest strap does not come included with the machine.

Workout data is shown on a 6.5″ LCD with blue backlighting for easy reading. An animated racetrack graphic illustrates your progress, and the window displays multiple data points. Many other low-priced treadmills have smaller readouts and require scanning to show different data fields.

You can pair an Apple or Android mobile device via Bluetooth with the XTERRA Fitness TRX3500 Folding treadmill to export your calorie burn, distance covered, heart rate, and other exercise statistics. The free XTERRA Fitness app is also compatible with Fitbit wearables and other fitness mobile apps.

Stamina Elite WAVE Water Rowing Machine | Emulates Rowing

Last Updated: January 7, 2023 By RobertRowers 9 Comments

Instead of air or hydraulic resistance, the Stamina Elite WAVE Water Rowing Machine 1450 emulates actual rowing with natural water resistance. Different stroke speeds and intensities vary in water motion, resulting in natural water resonance.

A spinning flywheel provides resistance in the water tank, which means the harder you row, the more resistance you’ll feel. You can raise your work rate further by adding more water (siphon included). The tank has ten levels marked; however, you will invalidate the warranty if you fill above level 10.

The Stamina Elite WAVE Water Rowing Machine 1450 features an LCD fitness monitor displaying all the usual data you’d expect to find. In addition, this model Includes an HR chest strap that displays your pulse on-screen – unfortunately, there are no heart rate programs. Instead, you can pre-set targets such as the distance you want to row, the time you want to row, or the stroke counts or calories you want to reach.

The rowing position is comfortable, thanks to a wide-padded seat. Thanks to the rollers beneath, the seat slides smoothly and quietly up and down the solid steel beam. Your feet would fit comfortably in the wide footrests – they also tilt like all footrests should for a smooth and comfortable ride.
