sturdy, good price, could use a little more tension but good enough for the casual user – 40-60 min. a week. time will tell how long the rollers last but you still have to keep the track clean with wd40.

We ordered this product to help in a revamping of our exercise program, and it is absolutely great in that mission. The device assembles very easily and quickly; 15 minutes or less if you lay the parts out. There are two major assemblies, and you just attach the seat and put the two pieces together. In action, the device is smooth and quiet, and it can give you a very good workout in a relatively short period of time. The electronics package is good; the only issue some may have is that changing rowing resistance doesn’t appear to change the calorie count.
The only problem we had was with Amazon in shipping. This is shipped in two boxes but for some reason Amazon seems to lose sight of that fact on its own tracking. If the two boxes become separated (which ours did) and only one is delivered, they show status as “delivered”. I called customer service to try to get them to help with the other box and they continually insisted that the order was one box and was complete. Finally they gave me the UPS premier shipping contact but didn’t tell me I would need their shipper number to use it! The other box finally arrived after about five emails to them, two calls to UPS and one call to Amazon. It’s worth the wait, though. This is a really great rowing machine!
UPDATE:
We’ve used the rower for over a month now and so I have some notions of how it works. First, it’s deceptive when you start rowing for the first time because the effort level seems light so you tend to crank it up to 4 or 5 (the top). Don’t do that unless you’re in decent shape or you’ll bonk pretty quickly. What seems to work best is to start off rowing for about 10 minutes at about 25 or so strokes per minute according to the timer, at a 1 or 2 level. When you see how you’ll do, you can then increase time, stroke count, and effort level. In terms of subjective effort, every jump of one in effort level seems to give you the equivalent of about a 10% increase in stroke count. When I go up in effort level, I’ll drop my stroke count 10% until I’m used to the new one. If you’re not a young athlete (which I’m surely not) then you will probably find 15-25 minutes of rowing at a pace of about 27 strokes per minute a good workout at level 2 or 3.
This machine undoubtedly gives the most concentrated workout of anything I’ve used. In 20 minutes I’m sweating big time!

Bought it in a store (2nd Wind Fitness) for $450 if memory serves, 3mo’s ago. Great workout, folds up easily, stows away in a corner, sturdy. Couldn’t ask for more for the price. Very, very pleased!

Shipped quickly from amazon, good price. My 10 yr old son set it up in a few minutes and I love it ! Use it everyday for strength training (arms/legs) and cardio (takes a little work to work up a sweat but easy on the joints). Doesn’t take up too much room, easy to read monitor. Low impact – easy on my feet, knees, back. Would recommend highly.

I loved this rower at first, although if you have small feet, it’s difficult to keep them from pulling out of the pedals while rowing. 6 broken straps, several emails to Lifespan (they did replace them for me), a change to a different type of shoe, and that problem was finally fixed. Then the pulleys started to break. Ordered a new set and replaced those (those I had to buy). Now the flywheel will not recoil. Took it apart…I would have to replace the magnetic wheel assembly. It’s time to give up, it just wasn’t made to be used. I used this rower for 2 1/2 years. My last rower was a cheap old piston type, it lasted 12 years. I finally broke the frame. I used the rower 4 times a week, this one just couldn’t hold up. And, no, I’m not some 350 pound body builder…I barely make it over 5 feet and am under 135 pounds. I don’t think I should be killing rowing machines.
Those row machines are so crazy. I cannot go on those for very long and I am in pretty good shape. It uses every muscle in your body.
Crazy stuff
