Sunny Health Fitness Smart Row-N-Ride Glute Leg Trainer Foldable Squat Assist Rower with Exclusive SunnyFit App Connection

After the pandemic hit and my gym closed for the foreseeable future, I've been trying to figure out some indoor stuff to do (not a great/dedicated outdoor exerciser, unfortunately). This seemed like a sweet spot between cost and quality - I read a ton of reviews for various products - so I ordered it to add cardio to the weights I have. Um, it is cardio-revving, for sure, but consider this resistance training as well, and it is a beast. You're not going to be able to "just do this" for your standard cardio workout or anything close to it. I generally do pretty high intensity elliptical for 22-25 minutes, and in my first try today, I could barely do 15 reps (seconds). I wound up rotating "sets" of 10-15, resting longer than that in between, for several minutes, doing several rounds of that. Sweaty. And it's definitely working THE HECK OUT OF my glutes, abs, and upper arms. I just need to figure out a workout routine on this thing going forward. I could feel a temper tantrum coming on when I opened up the very small-print, dense directions. But actually, it came together beautifully and easily. It's really well considered, and the bolts and nuts come already in their spots (you take each nut off to attach pieces to each other, but this way you have an immediate sense of where things go). In a mere single use, granted, the motion was smooth, it felt stable - though I can't see a big guy using this (my 175lb teen son might be able to, but I'm not sure). Definitely solid for me at 136lb, 5'5". UPDATE: WOW. This is way better than I thought. I missed the back few pages of the assembly guide that offer directions about how to make adjustments to the machine in order to moderate intensity. This comes set as the most intense (highest resistance) mode. But by changing the seat post height and reducing from 3 to 1 the connection of the resistance bands (if you buy this you'll know what I'm referring to), I can now absolutely use this as a more regular cardio device - it still kicks my butt, but much closer to standard cardio (I was able to do 20 minutes, in 2 blocks, working up a heavy sweat vs. my standard 22-25 minutes on a gym elliptical with medium sweat). So this can really be used, in an intense setting, as more resistance tool, and at a lower setting, as more cardio. This is quite a great option for home exercise. Read more

This seems like a stable, easy-to-use upright rowing machine. Set-up took about 25 minutes (including interruptions from the dog) and even though some of the written instructions were vague, the accompanying illustrations made things clear. It might be nice to have a guide for setting the seat and handlebars based on the user’s height. It is small enough that I think it will fit next to my folding exercise bike and weight bench without being in the way when it isn’t in use. I haven’t used it for a full workout yet, but I tried it out for a couple of minutes and it glides smoothly. I had back surgery a couple of months ago and I’m looking for ways to strengthen my core without putting too much stress on my back. It is getting boring just to use the exercise bike, so I think this will add some variety to my workouts. Overall, I’m very satisfied. Read more

Love it. Exercised to a Sunny fitness video. Great! Easy enough to put together also. Read more

I got the rower used because I trying to save money. I opened it and found out the computer piece was broken. I contacted Amazon support and they gave me a refund for the entire purchase. The rest of the machine works perfectly. It is not loud and doesn’t take up a lot of space. It’s very simple to put together and very sturdy for the price. Read more

So stoked to use this awesome Row n Ride exercise machine!!! Came in one box which was a little heavy but I managed, pretty easy to assemble. Make sure to follow the directions though, it does come with a tool that you could use for every nut, bolt and screw in the package. Make sure to register your product to get the warranty, all of the information is in the box as well. The serial number is on the front base of the machine it's a long number make sure to enter all letters and numbers. It will ask for order number as well which is located in your orders on Amazon at the time of purchase. If you are shorter like I am 5'5 you can adjust both the seat and the handles which is pretty cool, there are three strength straps underneath the butt on the back of machine start off with one to see if you could feel the pull in both glutes and arms. Since I've been trying to work out everyday I started with three bands and it felt great! There is a computer between the handles it comes with two AAA batteries which you should just upgrade to a better brand for longer life. It reads your heart rate, calorie count and more! Great purchase very happy. Glad I added this to my cart and noticed that it was on sale, definitely get this machine! It also folds up nicely after you're done using it, very convenient if you have a small home or exercise space. Read more
