I have a Lifecore R900 magnetic rowing machine - see http://lifecorefitness.com/products.asp?id=6 for details on it. $600.
I used it about 4 months. It has a new control panel. It comes with a chest belt heart rate monitor and the manual.
It has a warranty on parts, which is good till about Aug. 2010. Theres also a shorter warranty on labor, but that isnt particularly relevant since what they do is to replace parts by mail. I talked to the owner who said he would confirm the warranty in writing for a buyer.
The price is a firm price, the warranty is valuable. I bought it for $900 ($899 to be exact).
Pros and cons of this machine:
Cons:
- If you want a really intense aerobic workout emphasizing the quad muscles, an air or water resistance rower might be better. Magnetic rowing machines tend to give a less intense aerobic workout, but working out your upper body, glutes etc. more.
Pros:
- Very quiet. You could watch TV fine while rowing, or even listen to classical music. I dont think it would bother anyone even in an apartment with thin walls.
- It has a lot of nifty automatic resistance programs. It even has a heart rate feedback program, where it changes resistance to keep your heart rate in a certain range.
- Very smooth, pleasant motion. Important for rowing machines - if the workout is pleasant youre more likely to keep it up. The cheaper rowing machines are a rougher ride. Comfortable padded seat.
- If you want a rower for weight loss - long, less intense workouts - this one would work fine.
- Magnetic rowers are gentle on your joints. Lower impact than an air rowing machine. So if you have arthritis, say, this might be a good choice.
I have a rowing machine mat, which Id sell for $20. The mat is useful if youre using the rowing machine on slippery floors, it helps keep it from sliding around.
I would rather sell it locally. But I might be willing to ship it, doing payment through Paypal; or have it picked up, if paid at the door in cash (20s or 50s). |
