Fitness Reality Magnetic Rowing Machine with Bluetooth Workout Tracking Built-In, Additional Full Body Extended Exercises, App Compatible, Tablet Holder, Rowing Machines for Home Use

I love this rowing machine! I searched long and hard, review after review, and I'm so glad this is the one I picked.I'll start off by saying that I have Not tried the app, so I have no report on that. If I do try it, I'll try to post an update here. But the app was not among my needs for purchase.Read the assembly directions. When attaching the seat, it's Very important that you get the seat And the stem facing correctingly in order for the sensor to work. The directions tell you how, so Read Them. I'm a DIY person so directions are not my thing, but you've got to swallow that pride in order to get accurate experience of a quality product. It's easy enough to assemble, you just need to know about things like the sensor and which parts go where.Tools and parts was SO easy, I wish Every manufacturer did this. They're all nicely labeled and separated in wrapping (pictured), so there's no reasonable way you can accidentally throw them away with the box. Pedals are in the one smaller box inside product packaging. Only downside to packaging is that there are no spare parts. But it's organized so well, you shouldn't need extras.About the only thing the instruction booklet doesn't tell you, is how to increase tension. Fortunately the little knob is pretty self explanatory, and the booklet covers just about everything else. The machine is so super easy to use, my 12 yr old can come in and use it with no problem. Just look up videos for proper posture.I can't say enough how remarkably quiet this machine is! There's sound, sure. But I can workout on this machine while watching a movie and the sound does Not interrupt the movie at all. So even a lazy day binge watching shows still gets a workout. I also have super sensitive hearing, and remarkably this machine doesn't aggravate that.Biggest con, it's a heavy machine and despite being manufactured to be moveable, it's not without some effort. I have a tiny space, but usually it's just easier to leave it out than try to maneuver it. Especially since I use it daily. The directions tell you how to make it more portable, but don't be surprised when you have to use a little muscle both ways - mostly when lining up the holes just right to insert the stabilizing pin. Keep this in mind during original assembly too. It's not a feather. Also, the velcro on the footstraps don't go far enough to tighten around bare feet very well. So unfortunately you'd have to wear shoes to get the most out of those. But it's probably only an issue when you're going full speed and need your feet secure. If you're a beginner starting out slow, it's probably not as crucial. But do what's safest for you and your comfort and expertise level.Overall I couldn't be more happy with this machine. My friends and family can't shut me up about it. It's a great full body workout that doesn't interrupt the rest of your day. I have a tiny budget so this was a bit if a splurge. But it was still affordable and I'm so happy with my choice.

I'm very happy with quality of this rowing machine for the price. It was easy to assemble and works great. I wanted something that would give me a good 10 - 20 minute cardio workout early in the morning. I had used rowing machines at the gym and thought this would be a good full body workout for the home, rather than have a cycle or elliptical. I was a little concerned about what the quality would be for the low price. But, it is very solid, operates smooth, and is relatively quiet. You get some sound that comes from the sliding of the seat while rowing. I use it every day and it's a great workout.1) I also got the ZENY Exercise Equipment Mat 8x3 to put under it to protect the rug.2) The box is extremely heavy. If you are going to put it on an upstairs floor you will need two people to carry it.3) It is packed very well in the box and does take quite an effort to remove all the components prior to assembly.4) I've also seen some other comments that the pedal position makes for a little more heal pushing, which is correct. But after a while you get used to it.

I waited about 2 weeks before writing this review. I hope to remember to update this later.As of 03/24/2021Pros:-Fast delivery-Easy setup-Light and maneuverable. I can easily move it around the room with one hand.- The app works, and it's nice to see the charts and stuff, but you'll see in the cons that I don't trust it.- It does have some resistance differences but honestly it's not a huge difference between lvl 1 and lvl 14.- It is super quiet.- It works, and for the money you shouldn't expect more than just that it works. You aren't buying something with all the extras. It works.Cons:- The resistance differences are very minor. Sure once you get going you can feel the difference more, but it's not that different.- It tracks the seat NOT the belt/rope. So basically it doesn't matter how hard/far you pull, only the seat position matters. Unlike other rowers where the better your pull the further you go in that pull.- Which brings me to the biggest con of them all. The tracking is such BS. The resistance changes NOTHING on the tracker. Harder/better pulls do NOTHING to the tracker. Finally 99% of the time everything changes at the same rate. 1stroke=10m=0.14cal However somtimes if you work harder and go faster then suddenly a stroke will be skipped when tracking distance. So you end up with 1067 strokes and 10500m. It's so dumb. So just be aware that the only 2 things remotely accurate are the stroke count and the time. That's it.Oh! Also the machine needs to be braced against a wall, unless you have it on a squishy surface. It's so light that if you go hard then you end up slowly moving backwards across the room. But really that's just the tradeoff. I'm fine with that.Overall you get what you pay for. The main reason for the 4 star instead of 5 was that BS tracker. Otherwise everything is fine. It's quiet and does the job of providing a good dynamic cardio workout. If you are like me and didn't want to spend a bunch of money, but still want a solid machine, this is not a bad option. Honestly, I think it's worth the money. Or rather, it is priced appropriately.
