Merit Fitness 725T Plus Treadmill Review

Merit Fitness 725T Plus Treadmill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We bought this treadmill in anticipation of packing on a couple extra pounds for the holidays with the hopes of working them off (and then some more) ;). The treadmill, much like the added weight from the holidays, has met or exceeded our expectations. The construction of the treadmill is above average for the asking price. Unpacking the unit was a bit of an ad-hoc adventure but wasn't terribly bad overall. The unit operates relatively quiet and controls are fairly intuitive. My biggest dislike so far is the operation of the safety strap. The safety strap attaches to your body in the event you trip or need the treadmill to safely cease operation (immediately). There have been times where I was reaching for a drink located to the side of the treadmill (the drink holder is a bit shallow) and accidentally dislocated the safety strap as it is attached by a fairly weak magnet. That'd be fine except when you reattach the magnet, the treadmill program completely resets. Another minor shortcoming is the heart monitor feature doesn't seem accurate at all unless you hold on to the bars continuously throughout the program. Despite these things and perhaps a few other similarly nitpicking items, this is really a good value for the money and delivers where you need it most. I have not had the static electricity discharge problem others have described in other reviews. If you're looking for a good work out and don't require a top of the line model, this is definitely the model for you.

Stamina Body Trac Glider 1050 Rowing Machine Review

I have had this rower for a week now and it has been working great. The first rower I bought (a different brand of rower) broke down after 15 min of use, but the Stamina Body Glider is well built and very easy to use. The instruction booklet is very clear. It only took a few minutes to put the machine together.
The amount of resistance is adjustable and the machine is very quiet. The only noise you hear is from the shock absorber type device which provides the resistance. It looks and feels like a more expensive piece of equipment, but provides the same type of workout that those higher priced models provide. Relatively lightweight, the Stamina Body Glider comes in at around 35lbs. The light weight makes it easy to move the machine around. I am thoroughly satisfied with this machine so far and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a rower.

Do you have limited workout space but plenty of motivation? Turn to the Stamina Body Trac Glider rowing machine, which offers a compact footprint of only 23.5 inches wide by 46 inches long, but offers the same terrific workout performance as machines twice its size. The Body Trac Glider is outfitted with a tough steel frame and an aluminum center beam that's designed to withstand years of use. More significantly, the machine's ball-bearing roller system and adjustable cylinder resistance arms mimic the smooth motion of rowing on the water. And because rowing is widely recognized as one of the best all-around activities for cardiovascular fitness and strength, the Body Trac Glider makes an ideal workout accessory for anyone who wants to get in tip-top shape.
Rowing provides an efficient, effective, low-impact workout that utilizes all the major muscle groups, including the back, legs, arms, abdominals and buttocks. It is also one of the best exercises for building a strong back, as well as one of the most effective low-impact aerobic exercises for increasing your metabolism. As a result, you can efficiently burn calories and fat without impacting your joints. In addition, the rower includes a multifunction fitness monitor that tracks your workout time, stroke count, and calories burned during your workout, along with the total strokes you've accumulated since owing the machine. The monitor displays each data point for six seconds before rotating to the next.
Other features include gas shock resistance, a manual resistance control knob, a comfortable molded and padded seat, and a capacity of 250 pounds. The Body Trac Glider--which folds up for easy storage in a closet or corner--carries a one-year warranty on the frame and a 90-day warranty on parts.
