Stamina Avari Programmable Magnetic Rower

I've only been using this for four weeks. The product is sturdy and well constructed. The nylon strap looks and feels like it will provide lasting use. The handle is easy to grip and comfortable in the hands. The seat is comfortable and I've had no issues with it. I'm starting out with 30 minute sessions on low level to work on my technique and form and very much like the steady resistance. For older first time users on a rowing machine (I'm 66), if you haven't already been exercising regularly this will give you a good initial workout at level 1. If you're like myself and do regularly exercise but haven't used a rowing machine, once you feel comfortable with proper technique and form you'll be ready to push upwards and this machine has very good resistance settings and built-in programs that will challenge you. Also allows for custom programming. The digital screen is easy to read and simple operations. I'm very satisfied with this product and highly recommend it!

I've had my rower for a month now and so far, so good. It went together super easy. Very smooth and quiet so I can watch TV while rowing. Even though I have sciatic issues, the seat is very comfortable after a half hour session. The only thing that's missing for me would be one or two more levels of tension and the foot strap system could be made with better quality material. I'm sure that could be an easy fix. Other than that, I'm very pleased with my rower.

I rowed in crew regattas for my High School and was in the varsity squad. Ergs/Rowers were an essential part of our training regimen and it helped with our fitness and technique when water conditions were not favorable. Nowadays I row on this machine to keep healthy. This rowers features such as a heart monitor and programmable exercise routines are nice and makes exercising interesting.

I bought this rower to take a break from running, which was causing knee pain and longer recovery. Now I'm working out the whole body with no knee pain. The Avari Rower is sturdy and solid, also since it's magnetic is very quiet so I don't bother my family when I work out at 5am.

I received the rowing machine, packaged and well protected. Opened it found the instructions and in an hour and a half I was rowing. All the tools necessary for assembly were included, which made it very easy to do. The assembly instructions were clear and easy to follow. This was a great buy and a good addition to my home workout regimen.
