Stamina X Air Rower 35-1412 | Tough and Durable

July 15, 2020July 15, 2020 by Robert

The sleek and attractive Stamina X Air Rower is a basic, yet durable rowing machine that is perfect for home gyms. Stamina’s engineers have designed the Stamina X Air Rower to be just like you: sturdy and durable. The steel frame will hold steady during your hardest workouts. At the same time, the rowing chain keeps the air resistance coming as the fan spins inside the metal housing, automatically adjusting the resistance to your intensity.

Being an air resistant rower means the rowing machine has ‘variable resistance.’ There is no knob to turn to increase or decrease resistance, but instead, the resistance adjusts automatically depending on the speed at which you row. For example, the harder you pull the handle, the more resistance you feel. To decrease the resistance, just grow slower.

The faster you get the flywheel spinning, the more wind resistance you create, the more watts you produce, and the more calories you burn. Due to the Stamina X Air Rower being air resistance, it works exceptionally well for HIIT exercises (high-intensity interval training). You can speed up or slow down during a workout without having to stop and adjust the resistance.

The Stamina X Air Rower comes with a large LCD multi-function fitness monitor that will help track your progress with real-time feedback. The monitor tracks vital measurements such as Distance, Calories Burned, Speed, Time, Number of Strokes (Count), and Strokes per Minute (SPM).

The NordicTrack T 8.5 S Treadmill is a machine made to last. The sturdy 3.5 CHP DurX Commercial Plus motor delivers smooth and consistent power.

You can choose to walk, jog, or run on the comfortable 20” x 60” deck with speeds up to 12 mph with an incline range of 12%. The OneTouch controls make it quick and straightforward to change incline and speed. With runner’s flex adjustment, you can switch the suspension from a cushioning feel to a more road-like feel for whatever is best for your comfort.

The T 8.5 S has a 10 inch HD touchscreen, which you can also choose to cast onto a flat-screen TV via a smart device. The console display tracks all the important workout metrics, including time, distance, calories, pulse, speed, and incline. The T 8.5 S has built-in Bluetooth Audio capabilities and Aux outlet so that you can listen to your music via the dual 2” digitally amplified speakers.

Because the T 8.5 S Treadmill is iFit enabled (one-year free iFit membership included), you can automatically synchronize incline and speed with on-demand workouts, which streams to the LCD. The T 8.5 S comes with 50 onboard workout apps created by certified professional trainers —but remember you have iFit in addition to this giving access to a library of over 10,000 classes.

Velocity Exercise Magnetic Rower | Excellent Price/Quality

July 7, 2020June 28, 2020 by Robert

The Velocity Exercise Magnetic Rower (CHR-2001) frame is durable, sturdy, and lightweight aluminum. The rowing beam is made of anodized aluminum with rectangular tubing support for added durability. Additionally, the Velocity Magnetic Rower has double-bearings, which significantly reduces the wear of the bearings over time.

The Velocity Magnetic Rower is a magnetic resistance rowing machine that is extremely quiet and offers adjustable resistance. It comes equipped with a Drum Magnetic Control (DMC) system, which is essentially a magnetic braking system.

As you pull the rowing handle, you spin the metal flywheel inside the front housing. Inside the housing is a magnet that can move closer or farther from the metal flywheel. The closer the magnet is to the wheel, the stronger the resistance. The farther the magnet is from the flywheel, the weaker the resistance.

The Velocity Fitness Magnetic Rower comes with a 5-button multi-function fitness monitor. It is at the base of the rower and easy to access while rowing. The fitness monitor keeps track of essential workout data, including Time, Count, Distance (in km), Calories, Strokes per minute, Watts, and Pulse.
