Review of V-Fit AR1 Artemis II Air Rowing Machine by
Trent1717
Advantages: Affordable, Realistic action, Sturdy, Comfortable
Disadvantages: Bulky, Noisy
...an affordable price range. The V-Fit is a sturdy rowing machine equal to many higher priced machines. The resistance is by air which provides a realistic rowing action. The seat is fairly comfortable and the foot pedals are large enough to accommodate the bigger sized shoe with Velcro straps to hold feet securely. The overall action is smooth and the pulley system has a chain rather than a belt (which can become frayed as the one on my old hydraulic ... ...manually changed but increases as your speed increases (which increases the machines noise), there is also the problem of keeping the machine in the one place as the harder you row the more it moves due to the wheels at the front. The machine is fairly large more so than most other home machine rowers, but can easily folded in half. It also has the basic display functions you would expect to find like speed time distance calorie count, strokes per ...

Proteus PAR-5500 Programmable Air/Magnetic Rower
Review of Proteus PAR-5500 Programmable Air/Magnetic Rower by
ddtowe
Advantages: Durable, versatile, heavyweight, fully programmable
Disadvantages: Very heavy, need to be plugged in for computer to work.
I have found this to be an excellent rowing machine, especially after using the concept rowers at gyms. It compares very well against them. The computer gives you the ability to really up the tension as you progress. It also offers you bespoke programmes similar to that in treadmills and cycling machines for overall cariovascular workouts. You can even direct the air back on you to provide some much needed air whilst you are woking out. It needs ...

Review of One Body One Body Rowing Action Exerciser by
noddytiger
Advantages: cheap and easy to store
Disadvantages: beginners only
...body.
I chose this one as it is a lot cheaper and smaller so easier to store than the other rowing machines and to begin with it was great but there is no way of tightning the tension so once your body has got used to it it doesnt do a lot for you other than cardiovascular, this realy is for beginners only. ...

cycling but going no where
Review of York C102 Heritage Upright Cycle by
noddytiger
Advantages: great excercise
Disadvantages: uncomfortable seat
This excersise bike is great for the price, it has a sensor in the hand grip that monitors your pulse wholst you are on the bike, has a screen which is quite big so very clear to see that you can check what your pulse is, how far you have cycled, calories burned and how long you have been on the bike. There is a black dial further down from the handle bars that allows you to change the resistance at the same time as riding the bike so you can make ...
