Everyone in rowing goes for Concept2 and their production is limited right now. Concept2 can handle the abuse. This one doesn't seem to use the chain, so be careful it might snap if you abuse it.2Sedins1Cup wrote: ↑ anyone have one of these? Price seems decent.
Hoping it's 90 days+
wow! over $1500! I got a crappy $365 version from amazon. at the highest level, there isnt enough tension.RiCHC3 wrote: ↑ I have a cheapie rower from Walmart and of course the ideal is to get a Concept2, but not everyone wants to shell out that kind of money.
Honestly, I've been enjoying mine and I'd say it's just an uglier version of this Costco one. I can appreciate the cardio and total body aspect of it and I just watch a show and tune out. Wear a heart rate monitor and keep yourself within a certain threshold and it's even better.
Since it's Costco it's pretty worry-free. Worth giving a shot.
I don't know which machine you are using, but out of curiousity, are you experienced in rowing? Most people think they need more tension on their rowing machine when they really don't. It may not feel like much, but if you were to row any significant distance at low tension compared to what you might think is the appropriate (but actually higher than necessary) tension, you will have faster times at the low tension and put less strain on your back.
I find using a Tabata Timer or alike (( Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... bata&hl=en )) works well to make up for it.
