35-1060

I bought this because I needed something that was low impact on back and knees yet still improved strength in knees and back without pounding joints or discs. My posture point muscles around that area of my back (between my shoulder blades) needed building up to better support my back (according to the physical therapist) and rowing has been more fun than the rubber bands they sent me home with. I was also looking to increase energy. It has eased pain and given me more energy and I couldn't be happier!

I bought this about a month ago and am very happy with it. I'm not active but had taken a rowing class once and really enjoyed it. I also wanted something that would target a lot of areas.. legs, abs, back, shoulders, arms so decided on a rowing machine. I did a lot of online research and the 1060 made a lot of the top 10s. My favourite feature is the rowing action... moving my arms out and around rather than just back and forth (like a true rowing action) is great. It was easy to put to together. It's quiet and sturdy. The seat seems fine.. I find my butt gets a bit sore but bear in mind I'm not overly active so any seat is going to feel uncomfortable at first. The pistons work well and the tension level is easy to adjust. And I love that it has a place to set my iPad. I work for longer intervals because I can be distracted. One thing to note is that because of the wide arm rowing action it does require more space than the typical “back and forth” rowing machines. Very happy with my purchase. Now it's up to me to keep at it!!
