Sunny Health & Fitness Magnetic Rowing Machine with 53.4″ Extended Slide Rail, Full-Body Workout, Low-Impact, Ergonomic Full Motion or Premium Water Motion and Optional Exclusive SunnyFit App

Impressive for the price
I’m 54 and in good shape but wanted to work on my cardiovascular fitness. I have been wanting to purchase a rower for quite some time and almost bought the Aviron for (2400.00). I didn’t really want to spend that much money. So I took to Amazon and checked out several rowers. I came across this one at 18,000+ reviews for a really cheap price (compared to 2400). It’s a good, solid machine and my husband said it was really easy to put together. It’s not as a good as a high end machine and it’s a bit difficult to explain why. First – the foot pedals move so it’s difficult to get a good push off from the heels. It works well enough but it’s lacking in that area. The machine is quiet for the most part (seat moving makes a bit of noise). The resistance is easy to change and I can see the display just fine. My other issue is the pull…it just feels off especially if you are following a video and they want you to pull high or do bicep curls. It’s minor but enough to notice. Like I said it’s difficult to explain. I’m not doing any major rowing on it…a few times a week for 20 minutes. And if I stop using it I’m not out 2,000 bucks. I’m happy with the purchase.EDIT: I keep having pain in my legs and butt and I don’t know why. I can’t adjust the seat or pedals.

Happy so far
Sunny Health & Fitness Magnetic Rowing Machine SF-RW522016I have only had this for a day, but so far it seems very nice. It was packaged very well and if you take your time and follow the instructions it’s very easy to set up.I’ve been out of shape for a few years and really need to get back into fitness. I chose rowing because it works a larger percentage of your body and it’s low impact.I had a limited budget and did a lot of research before finally settling on a magnetic rower and this specific model.I was a little concerned with the tension being too light, as stated on a lot of reviews I read. I can see where that may be the case for some who may be top level athletes or using the rower incorrectly. Again, it’s only my first day so I will update another time when I have more experience with it.On initial review I only gave it 4 stars because like most of the lower end models the foot pedals are placed too close to where the strap enters the machine so you only get 75% of the reach when you’re in the full forward position (the catch position). I knew this going in, but none the less decided something was better than the nothing I was currently doing. The other issue is the pivoting foot pedals. I can see where it might be helpful for some who have foot or ankle mobility issues, but for the most part, all the research I’ve done suggests that a non pivoting foot plate is the best to maximize your workout. Again, I knew this going into buying this model.Bottom line…if you do a lot of research you will find that almost no one will recommend a budget rower. They will most likely recommend the Concept 2 (which is the gold standard of rowers) and tell you to wait and save your money for it. It is a great machine and this would be excellent advice for those who have that kind of money or are willing to wait until they save up for it. In my case, that would be a very long time and I wanted to get started now.On first review, this machine seems to be a very well put together and effective rower for its budget price point of around $300. I am looking forward to seeing how this works for me and will update my review when I have more experience with it.

Super produit… Solide… Et maniable…

Las máquinas de remo normalmente son muy costosas. Ésta, que compré en descuento, está perfecta para tenerla en mi cuarto y poder hacer ejercicio sin tener que salir de mi departamento. No es muy aparatosa y logra su cometido. Cuando la sacas de las caja quizá te frustrarás ya que viene desarmada, pero el instructivo es muy claro y no tendrás problema alguno armándola (yo la armé solo, sin necesidad de otra persona; sin embargo, sí ocuparás a otra persona para poder mover la caja). Tiene 8 resistencias, yo encuentro que la número 4 es la ideal para mí. Esto último significa que la máquina puede ser ajustada con la resistencia que ocupes según tu condición física.Yo hago rutinas de 30 minutos, y al finalizar siento que verdaderamente trabajé una gran parte de mis músculos, más notablemente los glúteos y los de la espalda. Sin embargo, también trabajas biceps y otros músculos. Sirve perfectamente para hacer cardio. Eso sí, terminarás todo sudado, por lo que es recomendable usar ropa especial para ejercicio para que no se te pegue la playera al cuerpo debido a lo mojada que estará la playera.En cuanto al aparato que despliega información, yo lo utilizo con el cronómetro y el contador de remos. Ambos son muy exactos. Funcionan con batería, pero ya trae una incluida.Una cuestión a notar es que aunque sí se puede doblar para almacenar, no es tan fácil hacerlo, por lo que preferí tenerla pegada a un lado del cuarto. Sin embargo, si tienes la paciencia para estar doblándola, podrás guardarla para que no estorbe. Llevo dos meses utilizando la máquina de remo, y el asiento ha empezado a rayar un poco el riel de la máquina, pero nada grave.
