Get Fit, Go Elliptical! Advantages: Low impact cardiovascular workout Disadvantages: Expensive ...models, I decided upon the York 3100 Elliptical Trainer & Cycle. It looked the sturdiest, could handle the most maximum weight (16 stone - not that I was this large, but obviously the larger the maximum weight, the stronger the machine), was from a brand that I had heard of and trusted, and was mid-priced between the cheaper basic elliptical machines, and the top end Reebok ones. Another important feature is that it is not just an Elliptical Trainer ... ...two good quality machines for the price of two cheap machines, but in the space of one machine - "Genius!" I ordered the machine from Argos (£200 + free delivery) and waited patiently for it to arrive a few days later. This is a home assembly job, and some of the sections are quite heavy so you may need assistance, but it is straight forward to assemble. It isn't small (60cm by 145cm footprint) or light, however, so make sure you assemble it where ...

Orbitrek, worth the money or just a fad.. Advantages: Zero impact, cardio, muscular, cheap, best workout ever! Disadvantages: Its a hard workout!! Having been a member of gyms for many years the time came for me to go to university which meant that I couldn't afford a gym membership, so I started to look for a machine that I could buy to use in my own home. As anyone else does I looked at treadmills, bikes and rowers but the quality of them for the money I was looking to spend (£100) was not good enough for my liking. In the past I had seen these funny machines in the gym that you stand up ... ...forth. To me they looked silly and I didn't think I'd ever even get on one, let alone buy one! A friend of mines mum had one of these machines and just out of curiosity I had a go on it......it was like a workout that I had never experienced. It truely was a total body work out, I had to have one of these machines. I purchased my Orbitrek from a shopping channel for £115 and 3 days later there it was in my front room, I'd heard all the hype about ...

not the best rower but does the job Advantages: not too big, good diplay, comfy seat, smooth rowing Disadvantages: low resistance, feels week above 90kg This rower in my opinion is ok, feels a bit week if you weigh more then 90kg, with regards to the resistance I did not find a big difference between the easiest and the hardest so if you are looking for proper rowing to practice in off-season or are used to concept II type rowing machines, I would go to a shop that sells this and try it before committing to buy. For home training its excellent, for women, small men or young adults is perfect. Otherwise ... matyas 15.12.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Horizon Oxford 2 CS Air Rower	Durability Comfort Value for money
Fluid Rower has really developed my muscle and fitness Advantages: cheaper than a concept 2, can be stood on its end to save space. Disadvantages: you need to fill with water !!!! I have been looking at getting fir after suffering with a bad back. Wanted something that I could use to exercise my whole body. I dont really care for swiming so looked at various fitness and gym equipment and settled for a indoor rowing machine. I like the fluid rower as it made a really nice swishing sound as you row as the resistance is water based. As you row you getting the sound of water almost as if you were at sea. The build quality is very ... ...together, before I had made my purchase I had watched several vieos on utube and also did a lot of research. For detaild information check out fluid-rower.com where you can download all the instruction manuals all full specs. I like the electronic readout and you get set distance stroke per minute, 500m time and also calories burnt etc. The seat is very good and doesnt hurt your bottom at all, I have size 11 feet and the foot plates you rest your ...

Goes Rusty Advantages: Quiet, good basic range of training sessions Disadvantages: Goes rusty ...after buying and having the Life fitness people install the equipment, some of the external screws went rusty. The Life fitness repair person said oh yes you need to lacker these as sweat is quite corrosive to the metal. Unfortunately I was not told this when it was installed, they are not done automatically by the manufacturer. He was instructed by his supervisor that he was not to replace them. There get out - apparently a dehumidified out-house ... ...the screws that went were right in line for this. Other equipment from other manufacturers has not suffered in the same way. Given the Life fitness attitude, if you can avoid them do - I bought about 5000 pounds of equipment from them and this is how I was treated. ...
