Stamina 1215 Orbital Rowing Machine with Free Motion Arms
Rowing machines come in different shapes, sizes, and price tags; from most basic to the more advanced features found in higher-end rowers. If you’re in the market for a rowing machine and clueless where to even begin looking, then let me help you by introducing the Stamina 1215 Orbital Rowing Machine with Free Motion Arms.
Product Description
The Stamina 1215 has a lot to offer for its reasonable price. It gets its resistance from hydraulic pistons, which means it operates quietly and the resistance level on each handlebar is adjusted separately. This machine is ideal for beginner and intermediate fitness levels, or as an introductory rowing machine. It comes with a 90-day parts and 5-year frame warranty.
Product Features
The 1215 is an orbital rowing machine with free motion arms. This means that each arm can move independently at its own resistance level. The arms also fold down so the unit becomes flat enough to slide under a bed for storage. As mentioned before, it also has smooth hydraulic cylinder resistance with adjustable levels. The 1215 has:
-
5 levels of resistance on each arm
-
Comfortable, thick padded seat on a deluxe ball bearing roller for smooth motion
-
Single-button multifunction monitor that tracks speed, distance, time, row count, calories burnt and mileage; turns on automatically by moving rower seat; auto-off after 4 minutes of inactivity
-
Raiseable seat incline for higher intensity workout
-
Pivoting foot plates for natural movement and added comfort
-
Weight capacity of 250 lbs
-
Dimensions of 48” x 32.5” x 27.75”
-
Easy to moderate assembly
What Customers Are Saying
“This workout will make you sweat and you feel so good afterwards.”
“This machine does the job and is well built, exceeding my expectations.”
“I have this machine 1 month now and nothing is broken on it. I have put it to the test and pass every time. I give it a 5 star.”
Users were overall happy with the quality of Stamina 1215. Although it is a simple and basic rower, it has a functional design. The two independent arms were found helpful for those who didn’t have balanced upper-body strength, and gave people the flexibility to vary their workout a little bit more.
The drawbacks were that taller and shorter users felt uncomfortable using this rower. However, people do have different upper/lower body proportions. Most didn’t have any issues with using the 1215 at all. A few also mentioned that the foot plates didn’t pivot far enough to their liking. Again, this is entirely an individual preference. Many rowers don’t even feature a pivotal foot rest.
Conclusion
Although the Stamina 1215 Orbital Rowing Machine has a few limitations, on the whole it brings a lot to the table. It is solidly made for years of strength training and calorie burning workouts. You will be pleased with this piece and it may even be your life companion.
