Stamina Fitness Body Trac Glider 1050 Rowing Machine Review

Stamina Fitness Body Trac Glider 1050 Rowing Machine Review
Rating: 4.5 Stars out of 5 for a well made design considering price.
Price: $99

Before I get into my review of the Stamina Fitness Body Trac Glider, I must warn you, take this review with a grain of salt. Don’t expect the same performance from the Body Trac Glider as you would a $1500 Tunturi rower. Remember, Stamina manufactures and designs fitness equipment for the bargain hunter and casual exerciser, not the fitness enthusiast or semi-professional athlete.

Pros
The Stamina Body Trac Glider has received more than 70 reviews to date from Amazon users, most positive. People who bought the Body Trac Rowing Machine liked the small, space saving design, adjustable tension for increasing difficulty of workouts as your train and progress, and a sturdy frame considering the $100 price tag. This is a small unit, however, it should accommodate most users up to 6’1” tall relatively comfortably. Like I’ve said a million times regarding Stamina Fitness products, the price is extremely low; under $100 in fact. If you’re looking to start your first rowing routine and don’t know if you’re going to want to take it up regularly, this is a good starter unit to explore your interest in rowing.

Cons
Some users, especially heavier ones may find the padding on the Stamina Body Trac lacking. It should be fine for brief workouts, and if it’s a real bother you can always place a couple pads to cushion your workout.

Final Analysis
After taking price into consideration I can’t really complain about this unit. The Stamina Body Trac Glider 1050 Rowing Machine is one of the best low cost rowers on the market. Just remember, it might not be as sturdy as a conventional rower, but you’re easily going to pay 5-10 times more for it compared to the Body Trac Glider. The Consumer Sensei strongly recommends the Body Trac to newbies or people lacking floor space.
