>> Many minor glitches
Both foot straps ridiculously inferior quality broke immediately The electronic timer has not worked sometimes it s on sometimes it s off The bottom of the heel holder on the foot rests is too shallow my feet keep slipping out With my new straps bought at Dick s I cinch my feet very tightly into the foot rests and they do not slip out I use the rower for 25 minutes each morning Fundamentally the rower works very smoothly and gives a decent low grade workout I hope that the mechanics of the rower work better and last longer than the three largely ancillary parts that I identified above
>> Not meant to actually be used
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
>> Good Quality Rower
I m a runner but needed a quieter workout my treadmill can t really be used in my new condo Stupid neighbors
I m glad I chose this model instead of going for the one that is just a little over 100 The assembly instructions were cryptic there is a blown up bill of materials that inaccurately showed over 100 parts I found it too daunting due to cognitive deficits maybe and asked my brother in law for help It took him only 15 minutes homie even said it was EASY
I watched a few how to row properly videos online and that made a difference The machine folds up nicely and I can easily wheel it to the corner of the room It makes little contact with the floor so I don t feel that a mat is necessary This is my first rower and it s amazing how much I sweat during a 30 minute workout about 600 strokes I m losing weight like a bastard
I highly recommend the LifeSpan Fitness RW1000
