Sunny Health & Fitness Row-N-Ride Squat Assist Trainer, Foldable & Easy Setup Exercise Equipment w/Adjustable Resistance, Home Gym Training Machine for Arm, Glute & Leg Workout, Optional in Colors

I pondered for days and scrolled for hours checking out several platform reviews for this fitness machine. It’s completely worth it, so worth it that I’m actually running from it lol. The resistance makes it a total workout and the range of motion is amazing. This machine is very sturdy and quiet. It’s not too heavy and easy to set up and get going.

The machine was inexpensive. I wanted something that is compact, gave me a good workout and in a short amount of time. For my safety I placed it on a rug to secure the weight and to avoid moving, when I change my levels or range of movements during use. There is at least 3 elastic wires to increase the strength of the workout attached to the back below the seat. Adjust the seat and handle bars to your height and comfort level. It was easy to put together and easy to make changes. I am satisfied with the quality. I like that it's not squeaky or noisy. So I can use it anytime in my bedroom and not be afraid to disturb someone.

No directions on how to USE this. The machine is well built and was easy to put together following directions. There were 3 QR codes that led you to a nicely done stretching routine.My husband finally figured out to look online for directions on how to use the apparatus. After we figured out how to safely use the row and ride we got a good workout. It is a good value for the money. Very sturdy. I deducted a star for the lack of instructions.

I put this together myself and I am an older woman that just wants to get everything toned. This is an amazing piece of equipment that I keep in my kitchen because it's a large kitchen and it makes a difference already in my legs and it makes it stronger in my arms calves legs I'm very happy with my purchase

I was skeptical before I got this. The first day of workout, I was very surprised how much it did. And how you can get best benefit by adjusting the settings especially the bands, and the handle height and seat height. Went and bought this after I heard some talk about the DB method. When comparing I found this is a lot cheaper and does a lot more than db method. So I was insistent with my partner to get this. I can't justify paying almost $300 for just glutes. At least if it doesn't work it won't break your bank and chance to return it.Someone here said this machine is too advanced to use. I have no idea how. This is by far the easiest machine at the lowest setting and gets to medium difficulty. Anyone can use this as long as they're in the recommended 220lb weight category as the machine is not that heavy and large to support larger weight class.It's by no means cheap material for the weight class. But given the price it's not also unnecessarily bulky and huge. If you use much heavier material , it would be so bulky and hard to move it around. So they did a good job. So there's a compromise.I did about 150 squats the first day and I feel the burn on both lower and upper body muscles. I'm diabetic , so I noticed with 150 squats on this my post food sugar level went from 275 to 165.One thing though. If you're someone who spends 3 or 4 days at a gym 2 or more hours , then it might not be a great machine. This is for a normal home workout, which will help you keep your muscle tone normal without sag and puts some strength into your shoulders, arms, legs, glutes. You won't be ripped with this. I set this up in front of my tv as I work mostly from home and when I watch my shows I just get on it and do it 2-3 times a day for 15-20 mins max.Somebody was complaining about the seat. The thing is it's like the bicycle seat (actually it's larger than a typical bicycle seat) and don't try to use the seat to put the all your body weight on it. Use it to just barely support your weight and use the legs and arms mostly so you won't even touch your seat much. You can literally feel the burn in few squats.I noticed you can benefit a lot more, if you use all 3 bands (for more muscle toning) and also set it at the highest handle height and lowest seat height. I do the following:* Set my hands on the upper portion of the handle and and pull your body down all the way to rear of the seat (where you're basically hanging and putting all the weight on the upper body instead of the seat which gives great workout for upper body and also stretches you so well ).* If you get knee pain in the beginning like I did on one leg, I shifted my weight to the better leg and slowly increased weight to the other later and alternate. But you can always start off with lowest setting and highest seat height* I also stand up and lean back and stretch your back and use one hand and work some other muscles and then alternate hands* I also use one hand and one leg and shift back and forth which puts a lot more weightAll in all I'm very happy. But Hope it lasts long . And it's convenient that I can jump on it anytime in front of my TV and put it elsewhere quick when there are visitors.

This thing does exactly what the product description says it does. I'll be retiring in a couple years from a physically demanding job. I'm in much better shape than most people my age. What I was looking for, was a piece of fitness equipment that would help me maintain my current level of fitness without having to go to the gym, because I don't want to become one of those old guys who can barely get off the couch. The Sunny Fitness Row and Ride fits the bill perfectly. After I assembled it (which took 20 - 30 minutes) I hopped on just to give it a test drive. Wow. With none of the tension bands attached, I was really feeling it in my legs and glutes after just a few reps. I could also feel a nice stretch in my lower back. The lower body workout with this machine is excellent. It's a well-made piece of equipment that will last for years. It's not going to solve all your fitness needs, but it's a calorie burner for sure that provides an outstanding lower body workout. I'm very satisfied with this purchase. It makes a great addition to any home gym, and the price is amazingly low. I could see something like this Row and Ride going for over $200 easily. If you buy it, you won't be disappointed.
