A LITTLE NOSIE DURING USE

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

I had a similar rower 25 years ago. I loved it then and I love it now. Just hop on in the morning and 20 to 25 minutes later you are feeling great and ready to start your day.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

The low profile is nice as compared to an exercise bicycle; it hides behind my bed on the far side of the room.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

I've only used the Stamina 1205 Precision Rower twice now, and I plan to use it 2-3 times a week for 15-30 minutes for general aerobic fitness. Assembly was simple and straighforward. It operates very smoothly and quiet enough that my wife wasn't even annoyed while we watched a movie. The range of hydraulic resistance was much larger than I expected which makes it suitable for aerobic and strength training. Resistance settings do not perfectly match on left and right side, but once you use it a couple times, you can tweek the setting to get identical resistance on both sides. One small complaint I have is due to the placement of the footrest pivot point. I cannot push off using the balls of my feet which takes away from being able to work my calf muscles. I may be able to make an adjustment to how I strap in, but I haven't tried that yet. Otherwise, the machine is comfortable, quiet, smooth, and very convenient. Storage is easy; Bed Raisers allow me to store it under my bed. You won't be disappointed with this rower! As a mechanical engineer, I believe this is a quality machine that will no doubt last a lifetime!

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

I bought this rowing machine for days when the weather was bad and couldn't make it out for a run. It exceeded my expectations. It was fairly easy to put together. It operates so smoothly and quietly, and it's a great workout. The only thing that I can see that does not work exactly like it's supposed to is the monitor. It does not give the speed, like it's supposed to, but that's really the only bad thing I can say about it.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

First off, this thing can give you a KILLER workout in a short period of time. Rowing is tough, but the benefits are well worth the effort. It's a great aerobic/muscle building combo, which I love. Overall a good value when compared to other wimpy machines that cost way more. Good work Stamina.

I've had my Stamina 1205 for about a week now and use it each morning. And I'm already seeing an increase in my metabolism! What a great machine. I put it together in about 30-45 minutes and jumped on it that night. I sure am glad I purchased it! I had a rowing machine years ago, but this unit puts my old one to shame!
My goal of seeing my "six pack" again is now underway! If you want a serious rowing machine - don't wait! Trust me - get it!

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

Until the rowing machine, I couldn't work out. I have chronic fatigue syndrome; my feet are VERY sensitive due to injury; and a rotator cuff injury. With my new rower I work out every day now WITHOUT INJURY. Even if it's for just 10 minutes. BONUS: My posture is straight now. My shoulders have been hunched since I was a child.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

We've just started using the rowing machine, but it was easy to assemble, easy to use and takes up little space. It's easy to grab a few moments of rowing fit in a quick workout on a busy day, the days we can't make it to the gym. We've never used this company before, but the entire transaction was smooth and effortless. Thank you! We will shop your site again.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

I like to use the product in the evenings while watching TV. I've had the rower for about 2 weeks and it was fairly quiet at first, but I have noticed it is starting to make a loud squeak when pulling back on the bars. It seems to do this once the shocks have become hot. It did take 2 people to put together and took us about 45 mins. All in all, its the product that I had expected and would refer a friend.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

The 1205 works great and fun to use, it needs to be a little off the floor and have a back for the seat, at my age, its hard to get down so low without support.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

As a personal trainer who trains from my house, the right equipment is essential for my clients as well as for my own personal use. I ordered the stamina because it was reasonably priced, portable, and works all major muscle groups. It has been a great addition for my circuit training and also for interval training. Only thing that has been an issue is the resistance element. It loosens up during workouts. Not a huge hinderance.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

[...] I could have gotten this machine anywhere else for the same price, but only the Rowing Machine offered a 5 year Warrenty. That is what sealed the deal for me. On to the machine. It is a sturdy, relatively easy machine to use that is very easy to setup. So far I have not run into any of the issues of shock problem and roller problem that some of the other buyers have encountered, but with a 5 year warranty, who cares. My problem is that I am too impulsive of a buyer that is always looking for the great price for an item. I wish that I would have researched other rowing machines to find the one that would make me the happiest. I do not like the fact that I have to manually change the resistance on the machine, but that is my fault for not buying a machine that has the automatic function. I do not like the fact that there are no preprogramed workouts on the machine, but this too is my fault for not buying a machine that offers this function. All in all, if you are looking for an inexpensive rowing machine that has little to no frills, this is your machine. With a 5 year warranty [...], you can't go wrong. If you are looking for something more advanced, check out the more expensive models offered by TRMSS and get what you truely want.

I cannot say anything bad about the machine.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

I use it as a supplement exerciser in addition to my mile and a half walk at the health club. The only one touching it is myself so I don't pick up someone elses germs etc. Especially great during the winter when activities slow down to keep your weight in check.

This machine is perfect for me because it is simple and easy to use, easy to move and store. I can put it in front of the television or out on the deck. It allows me to fit a work out into my busy schedule and I can sit down while doing it.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

Easy to put together. The parts move easily for a good workout. The shocks give good resistance but not the caliber of a pulley system like those at the gym, but still a good little machine for home use.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

This is the first time I've tried rowing. I'm very pleased with this rowing machine. It's sturdy. Took a while to put it together, but I think that was my fault. It's very quiet and offers plenty of resistance. It's kind of hard to see the monitor with it being way down by your feet, but that's the only complaint I have.

great low impact workout
easy to operate and adjusts to vary intensity

getting on and off the seat are the hardest part of my rowing experience

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

This is our first rowing machine and we had no idea what to expect. Didn't want to spend a lot of money without knowing how we would like rowing. We are very satisfied with this product and would recommend it to others. I'm not so crazy with the feet straps; they are huge and you are basically just keeping your feet on the pedals on your own but it seems to work out just fine. My husband had no problems putting it together. Also, there are no instructions on how to use the meter that it has so we are lost on it's operation. Overall, we have really enjoyed using the rowing machine and are satisfied with what we received for the money that was spent. We may move on to bigger and better once we are "expert" at this one but overall are happy with this product. It was money well spent.

to go because it was old an worn - so hence we needed a new one -

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

I use it every other day. When friends visit they can't stay off of it. I've bought several excercise machines of various sorts over the years. And wind up selling or giving them away. My old roommate told me the same day I got this "If you decide to give this away later, um, yeah, I want it!" lol I said I'll be holding on to this one. I love it. It's a great way to excercise. I've been wanting one for a while. And am very glad I finally got it.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

My husband uses it more intensley than I do, but we can both use it and that's the benefit. It's great and doesn't take up much room.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

My husband and I use it daily. It is a painless way to get in a quick 20 min. of aerobic exercise. The monitor did not last more than two weeks.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

I've had to tighten the handles, and it squeaks, but otherwise all is well. Still trying to figure out how to reset the monitor.
My niece bought one too, and has had to replace the hydrolic piece. Waited a couple weeks and then needed to call again.

I am very happy with the rowing machine. Very good workout with smooth operation.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

will work 30mins each morn MONDAY-FRIDAY, and sunday

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

The machine is simple to operate and provides good all-around exercise. It needs to be raised because it is difficult for old knees to bend and allow sitting without the use of a support to hold onto. Once seated, it is a delight to use.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

I use the rowing machine twice weekly to stay in shape for a great skiing winter. I would be lost without it.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

Great for beginners. Gives you a good Cardio workout. Really gets the blood pumping and lungs working. Don't think this machine will last long, I will probably move up to the next level machine sooner than expected. My wife loves it. She has already found different ways of using the machine for legs and abs.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

My job is already fairly physical so it helps to keep me fit, but I was looking for something to help trim up the gut and I think this is it.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

I have used rowing machines of this type on and off for the past 25 years. The rubber spacer between the center beam and the Pedal began disintegrating within one week of use. There should be a washer between the two parts. I purchased two metric washers and installed them in order to assure that the machine would not fail within a short period of time.

AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST & LYMPHNODE CANCER LAST YEAR I HAD NO ENERGY I WAS GIVEN A LOT OF STEROIDS DURING CHEMO & REALLY PUT ON THE WEIGHT MY ROWING MACHINE IS HELPING IN MY LOSING WEIGHT & BUILDING BACK MY STAMINA & ENERGY LEVELS
ITS ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

I hardly expected to completely assemble it, especially since the ad did not mentioned that you shipped only the parts. The picture showed it assembled. I would recommend this product but would state it is shipped unassembled. At that price this was a disappointment. I am 82 years old and don't need the hassle.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

Nice rower for the first timer. It was hard to understand the instructions but after awhile of matching pictures, it came together nicely. The operation is very smooth and quiet.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

[...]I am not good at setting up,however a friend did the set up and said it was very easy and uncomplicated. The motion is easy and resistance is great.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

I had a rowing machine before and the quality of it did not compare to the one I have from you guys.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

The spot welds that joined the pistons to the mounting ring broke after 71 minutes of usage. I had them rewelded and since then it's been fine. I'd recommend having them welded before you use it, as it is a lot easier to weld before they break.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

only took a few hours to set up. the instructions were probably the worst part, the washers didnt match the pictures and the references between drawings didnt make it simple to find each piece. also all the hardware was lumped into one bag.but now that its together it works great. excellent workout even on the easiest setting. used to wake up in the morning with back pain. no more. row a little each day and i feel great.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

It is a tough but effective workout.[...]

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

Console stops measuring, cable needs to be jiggled around to restart. Never measured speed, consequently distance, calorie counter give wrong information. Arm position should be adjustable, now too low. Extremely noisy operation

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

Surprising others had some negatives - it is really a good product and a good price - our expectations were fully satisfied.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

I found the rower to be cheaply built. The timer falls out and now is broken. The seat is not of good quality. I have had a row many years priors to this machine. It was exceptional. I have Precor elipical EFX 523 [$] and its quality has spoiled me. Also, I have a 1988 Universal PowerPac 400 [$]. I am also a head coach and now school supt.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

my wife and I both use the rower. She's five foot two, and I am over six feet - works great for both of us.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

My only real complaint is that the black rubber "feet" left indelible stains on my floor (linoleum). I have had to put something under each foot pad to protect the floor -- and yet not allow the machine to move.

This would seem to bean easy problem for the manufactured to solve.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

I have arthritis in my hip and can no longer do the normal arobic exercises like jogging, jump rope etc. I got the Stamina Rower for cardo and absolutely love it. It gets my heart pumping and I feel like after 25 minutes on it that I've had a great workout.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

The oar adjustment knobs are of poor design - they do not stay tight at any setting

I have been rowing for many years, and have used many machines. I find this basic machine easy to use and store, and the price the most favorable.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

I have it sitting next to the computer so I can jump on to and take a few laps around the Lake.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

It's uncomfortable to use, the handles don't align equally like they should and it's difficult to use. I tried it a few times and hated it.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

The rowing motion uses a lot of muscle groups.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

* Could be better instructions for set up
* Once together, have enjoyed the product
* Adjustments for resistance need a bit of patience to get right
* Works better than similar models
* Once adjusted right, sit back and enjoy the workout

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

After less than 20 uses, the bushings are wearing thin at the arm joints - squeaks when gripped different than straight on.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

Requires a bit of maintenance and makes some noise during use but otherwise a good product considering the price. Comparatively lightweight and easy to store.

At almost 80 it does what I expected and what I want......

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

This is the second rower I've bought in the last six years. The first one was great. Can't remember the brand name, but it was built more solid and helped me loose over 100 lbs. I'm at 198 lbs now and, when my other rower needed to be retired, I thought getting this Stamina 1205 would fit the bill.

I had problems from the beginning:
1) the setup was FAR more complicated that what it should be.
2) parts were missing

Then, about two weeks after I purchased it, the right hand shock started giving me problems. I called for a replacement part and they did ship it, but the replacement part only lasted a month, and then it started oozing out oil!!!! Good thing I exercise in my utility room because it would have ruined my carpet.

Also, the seat now doesn't give a smooth ride. I can't believe how bad this product is. Here's a piece of advice: don't buy this product, and if you do, don't work out with it in a carpeted area.

This is the worst rower and I cannot even recommend this to my worst enemies...and I'm a fairly nice fellow. I apologize for the bluntness of this review, but I'm really disappointed and I want a full refund.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

Overall a good product. However, after a week or two, the squeeks are intollerable and regular oiling is required.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

I was delighted to receive an addition benefit from my rower. I had a cronic shoulder problem that just flat out disapeared just weeks into my rowing workouts. My only negative comment could be that the pistons started to make alot of squeaking sounds during my workouts, that is a small price to pay for the benefits I've received.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

The machine was easy to set up and is well-made. I've used it often during the last year; nothing has failed or worn. It provides good total-body exercise, and can easily be set for increasing strength levels. I'm 6'2 - the machine might be small for someone much taller, but is fine for my height. Overall - a lot of well-designed machine for the price[...] no complaints.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

This is a poorly constructed product which is difficult to use for its intended purpose.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

The Stamina 1205 Precision Rowing Machine is a great conditioning and strength device. It is sturdy, easy to use and smooth operating. It is a low impact way of getting and keeping in shape for the whole body.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

Great for everyday use. A little wobbly, but for the money....

Took more time to assemble than I expected.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

I use the rowing machine for about 25 minutes a days, five days a week. Given my age, the available settings (mechanical) on the machine make it possible for me to get a decent workout. The seating is comfortable, but the machine squeaks a lot. All said and done, it's a good value for the price I paid.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

This machine has really improved my upper body strength and helped with my tennis game. It is a great workout for my legs as well. I would recommend this machine to anyone who is looking to do some upper body work and toning.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

I use the Stamina 1205 to maintain the condition of my upper body especially. I use the treadmill daily but the Rower provides an excellent balance in my daily routine. It's very smooth, quiet, easy to use, the seat is comfortable, gives a great workout, and I just lean it on end against the wall when not in use. Allow plenty of time to put the parts together and use a socket wrench to make assembly easier. I'm very glad I bought it.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 1205 Precision Rower:

It occasionally squeaks, but a couple drops of 3-in-1 oil solves the problem, otherwise, it is great. I have gotten stronger and firmer...just love it!
