NordicTrack T 8.5 S Treadmill | 50 Preset Workouts

July 13, 2020 by Robert

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. While maybe not the most exciting option for some, the motor is an important feature to consider when it comes to the durability and longevity of a treadmill.

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.

The Stamina 35-1405 ATS Air Rower is an affordable and efficient rower designed for your comfort and convenience. The 35-1405 has an angled and oversized sliding rail made of chrome that facilitates smooth and comfortable seat gliding. The durable steel frame makes the rower sturdy and robust, with a capacity to handle a maximum user weight of up to 250 lbs.

The Air Transfer System (ATS) on the Stamina 35-1405 is simple to operate. Simply pull harder to up the resistance and ease off for less. No matter your intensity, your stroke will feel smooth and efficient thanks to the padded rowing handle and a durable metal chain.

The 35-1405 features a multi-function LCD that tracks speed, distance, time, calories burned, stroke per minute (SPM), and row count for you to manage your workouts according to your preferences. It has a sizeable LED-backlit screen with a scan mode that displays each data set for approximately six seconds before moving onto the next set.

The Stamina 35-1405 ATS Air Rower comes designed to match your pace. The smooth-sliding, foam-padded seat is contoured to provide maximum comfort during movement on the seat rail.

FR 1000 Plus Magnetic Rower | 14 Levels of Resistance

July 8, 2020July 5, 2020 by Robert

One of the major selling points of the FR 1000 Plus Magnetic Rower from Fitness Reality is the price! It’s one of the least expensive magnetic rowing machines on the market and still has excellent resistance and good build quality. This exceptional blend of price and quality is why it has received so many positive reviews!

It’s well made and sturdy – it seems like it’s built to last. And it’s straightforward to use. As I’m not a fan of self-assembly, I like that the assembly is quite easy and straightforward! It’s also easy to put away when not in use.

Being the only Bluetooth rower, it’s certainly worth checking out if this feature is something you’d be interested in. I like using apps for tracking fitness data, so I love that this hooks up with the MyCloudFitness app so that you can set goals, track your workouts, etc.

The low impact workout on its 39-inch slide rail targets pretty much your whole body, including your back, legs, thighs, biceps, triceps, forearms, shoulders, and more. It is suitable for people at different levels as it offers 14 levels of dual transmission magnetic resistance for a more comfortable or more challenging workout.

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.

June 25, 2020 by Robert

The Life Fitness IC1 Exercise Bike is for the no-frills fitness enthusiast that simply values durability and longevity over anything. You can get more tech and more cutting edge features from some of this bike’s competitors, but if you’re more the type that wants to “disconnect” during a workout, this bike has you covered for years to come.

The IC1 indoor cycle is a classic example of focusing on the fundamentals. Rather than trying to add in as much other tech and as many frivolous features as possible, Life Fitness spent money where it counts. This thing is built like a tank from tip to tail, right down to the linking structures used for its seat adjustment.

The key features of the Life Fitness IC1 Exercise Bike are a 40-pound perimeter-weighted steel flywheel for even pedaling, Poly-V belt drivetrain for smooth, low maintenance, and quiet operation, and On-Board blue backlit RPM console.

The Life Fitness IC1 exercise bike is a straightforward but powerful machine that can help you improve your fitness and provide all the necessary data that you require to make it more effective. Although it is not as advanced as some of the other spin bikes in the market, this bike will last for a long time.
