Stamina Conversion ii Recumbent Bike Review
Over All Rating: 
Price: $483.99 (currently priced/price may change) Return Policy: The Stamina Conversion II Recumbent Bike / Rower has a 30-day FULL money back guarantee. Brand: Stamina Model #: 15-9002 Recommended Merchant: www.amazon.com About The Product: The idea of combining a stationary exercise bike and rowing machine into the Stamina Conversion II Recumbent Bike/Rower provides good workout for different parts of the body. Since exercise bikes normally just enable a lower body workout, the concept of integrating a rowing machine into the system allows for an upper body workout likewise. It saves on space and money as purchasing 2 separate machines could be quite impractical and will take up a lot of space in your home. This two-in-one machine combines a recumbent bicycle system with a rower to provide low impact cardio workout and strength training. It comes with a magnetic resistance mechanism that offers smooth and quiet workouts. Resistance can be set and switched to 8 different levels without interrupting an ongoing workout, although this exercise system does not come with any preset workout programs. It is simply equipped with a multi-function monitor that tracks your workout progress. A padded seat slithers along an aluminum rail for rowing exercise mode, while a pin can lock it in place at a desired setting for recumbent bike pedaling workouts. Over-sized pedals with adjustable straps secure your feet for better maneuvering while biking, while foam grips with heavy-duty straps enables a more stable and comfortable upper body workout. |

Customer Feedback-
"I am one of those people who really appreciate multi-functionality. I hated the idea of spending hundreds of dollars on one machine that I would probably get tired of really fast, so this combination really appealed to me." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "This unit is quiet and well made. Love how easy it is to convert to either exercise. My only complaint would be the angle of chair for biking, would like it more straight but otherwise love the machine." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "We purchased this bike to help strengthen legs after an illness...it is exactly what it says it is....we(both my husband and I) have been using it almost daily for the past three weeks...it was worth every penny. We needed a rower with a backed seat and this met the need. We would recommend it to anyone looking to strengthen legs and core." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "I rate this rowing machine as barely average, rowing machine alone 6 out of 10 because I like the seating and overall study structure. Rowing handle could be longer. I like the bike and rate it 8 out of 10. The seat is comfortable, again the foot guard is poor. The foot strap/guard could be better." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com |
