I started using the Row machine April 18. It is June 27 and I have lost 11lbs and feel great! I row 5 days a week because it is fun with so many different workouts on I-Fit. I generally do not care for long reviews so bottom line this is a product that lives up to all expectations. Here are details:
I started out slow. Physical set up was easy if you read the directions. Yes, I had to call tech support to get my system updated but they were great and I was only on hold for about 20 minutes. I could gripe about the initial internet set up since I had the machine in the basement and there was a weak signal. It took me a day or two to figure out a solution. I use my wifi jet pack to give me a strong signal and after my call to tech support I have had zero issues in my 50+ workouts. In other words if you have a good internet signal there are no issues to speak of. If your internet is weak you may have I-fit issues and you need the I-Fit on the big screen to make the row machine experience work.
So how about the machine. Row is smooth and easy to use screen is awesome. My wife was new to the Machine and after a few of the I-Fit beginner Row programs she was also off to the races. We have separate accounts under the one I-Fit membership. This is really important as I-Fit work outs are designed to have resistance match the use profile for height, weight, sex etc.
Ok now I am going to rave a bit. I-Fit is amazing on the machine. The workouts give you the choice of just Rowing or hitting the floor mat for body weight exercises. You can focus on your core, strength, cardio, endurance you name it and there is a program for it. Once you browse the trainers and workouts you can add them to your favorites so you can find them right away on the screen. A lot of the trainers ( I have my favorites and so does my wife) have series so there are between 5 and 10 workouts in the series that you can do to progressively challenge yourself.
Then the machine tracks all your workouts and captures all your data so you can see what you have accomplished. You can also find workouts as short as 10 minutes and as long as an hour. The trainers also are doing workouts designed for the rower and they get creative using the machine for stretching and isolation exercises. You can see in my picture I have space and put the machine on my sons hockey tiles. You do not have to have that and the machine does store well. You do need some space to do some of the floor exercises where you use the sliding seat. I-Fit has an app on your phone and so when I went on vacation i switched to programs that did not use the Row machine and found so many awesome ones that I still use them. I recommend the following I-Fit trainers -Gideon Akande, Anja Garcia,hannah Eden, Alex Silver Fagen,Desmond Nanchengwa & John Peel. I am sure you find the ones that motivate you! Best way to make Covid not turn me into a blob! Have fun!
