Row-N-Ride Squat Trainer

Great except 2 right pedals, as in photo but customer service were great and addressed the problem to my satisfaction with a good discount

Over the years I have had many mini steppers and steppers and other exercising machines to be able to have a minimal healthy lifestyle as my work did not allow me to get to the gym. By coincidence, I found this squat trainer and decided to try it to see what it can do. It took me 20minutes to assemble it - very easy to do; the leaflet is not very clear so I found a video on youtube showing the whole process. I am just amazed and so thankful for whoever decided to invent this machine, it is the best I have ever had and tried. The best value for money, absolutely thrilled about it!

Not as cheap as I expected but definately not super sturdy. IFor the price it's pretty fair tbh and it definately works all the right muscles.Really easy to assemble and use, folds down to store. Takes a few tries at the setup to get it right for your body but works when you do

This is a really good machine. It almost employs all major muscles. The body is strong and the price affordable.

I bought this as an alternative to a standard rowing machine because it was a lot cheaper. It is easy to assemble and is sturdy enough. There are a few different work outs you can do which is great, including most of the body. I think the only downside for me is, its a lot harder on your knees than a standard rowing machine, if your using it to its full potential! It's a great product but I wish I had payed the extra due to my weak knees.

This is great value for what it delivers. I was after a device that could simulate squatting for someone with a few balance issues. It does this in a perfect manner and safely. It’s easy to assemble, relatively light and for the price you can’t go wrong. The only fault I found was the seat , although secure , wobbles a bit.

For how inexpensive this was, I can honestly say it’s got to be one of best ‘fitness’ items I’ve purchased. My reason for this is mainly because my small house will not accommodate a full on rowing machine, but as I really did want one, & after hours of reading all the reviews on this, I decided the low cost was worth giving it a go.I’ve recently had a knee replacement & have been struggling with the physio therapy exercises (had a few niggly issues since op), so thought this row n ride would help me gain mobility, & muscle strength, & a return to correct posture (severely lacking due to osteoarthritis) in a controlled way.As yet I’ve only tested it out to adjusted it for my 5ft 1in height, but found all the Sunny Health &Fitness workout videos on utube in readiness for consultant & PT to give me the go-ahead to start using gym equipment in a weeks time.I honestly (by watching the videos) cannot wait to get started on this… a perfect accompaniment to my exercise bike.As for assembly… after nearly having a heart attack reading the instructions (it breaks down the hundreds of components that made me want to put it back in the box), I realised that most of it was already assembled… there was literally only 6 pieces to put together. Once I realised this, it took me about 20 minutes to put together, & this was only because I was being careful of my knee.It is quiet when using as long as you ensure all fittings are tight so nothing wobbles.When testing I used without the resistance, & with one band… I can say there was a difference, & yes, I started to feel the burn resistance within a couple of minutes.It is quite sturdy, & I was admittedly wary of this because of the very basic design & how light it is; however, the stabilising feet are wide enough that you do feel secure when on there, & the row n ride does not move or wobble during use.As for comfort, this is where it looses a star. I feel the seat could be a little more padded especially around the groin area, as although you are not in a constant seated position, on the standing position I could feel the hard narrow part of the seat on my inner thighs. That being said, this may be something I will need to adjust in my posture… it failing that, purchase a padded seat cover. All that being said, it is comfortable to use, & with or without the resistance bands, this is a piece of kit that you can work with to suit your own needs… whether you want just a gentle workout to get joints moving, or a full on cardio & strength train regime.Overall, I am glad I purchased this & cannot wait to get started in a regular exercise program by using the SH&F videos.PS I am not an influencer (rarely leave reviews), & have not been asked to leave a review by manufacture or anyone else. This is my personal unbiased review.

The exercise machine looks very good, but due to ill health, I was advised not to use it

Mine came without the counter. JLL did offer a replacement but it would've been too much of a hassle to send back etc. This was assembled without thr need to refer to the instructions. Its very straightforward. It works the areas that need to be worked in my case which is the thighs, glutes and obviously arms. It's too soon to say how effective it is in strengthening those areas. I do think it is value for money. The only problem is getting off its somewhat unstable and I've bashed my shins on the peddles. So you need to be cautious when getting off it.

I had an injured back for 2 months and put on a lot of weight on my torso area.I bought this product and got used to using it every day and lost most of the extra weight.No more beerbelly.5 stars .

Brilliant compact wee machine for beginners like myself. Not intimidating to use and fun to go on while watching tv. Doesn’t irritate my lower back like normal squats do and helps me to keep the correct form. Different levels of resistance. Super easy to build and stow away

I've had this machine a month now and absolutely love it. I've never been a fitness fanatic but needed to start some form of exercise to shift the additional lock-down pounds! I've pretty much used the row n ride every day since I purchased it. I would highly recommend you check out the workouts on You Tube - they make exercising on the row n ride far more interesting. If anyone is thinking about purchasing one, I'd personally highly recommend it. We used the You Tube video to help with assembling the machine - the instructions that come with it are a bit mind blowing.

This piece of equipment was well packaged and contained all the tools ( and parts ) needed to assemble it. It does arrive mostly assembled so about 30 minutes is all that's needed to complete it.Compared to higher priced piece of similar equipment, it has the following advantages :-1. The level of effort can be adjusted by using ( or not ) 1 or more of the 3 elastic straps.2. The lowest seat height can be adjusted, I prefer the most horizontal seat setting.3. The height of the handle bars can be adjusted, this changes the reach which helps when smaller persons are using it.It feels solid, smooth and steady when using it, yet can be easily folded away if required.

I am happy that I bought the machine a few months ago. I put it in my living room, it won't occupy much space. I use it in the morning, afternoon and at night and I feel that my muscle is strong than before. Friends visited my home and they also consider buying this after their try. I am a thin lady and still could assemble it by myself within half an hour. Highly recommend.

Awesome product, my workout routine it more organised,

So far so good. Fast delivery! Easy to assemble with good instructions. Seems very sturdy and stable but only used it properly today. Then watched You Tube vids and that was a great help guiding people through the exercises and workouts. Plus this can be used in many ways. I am almost 76 and this is easy to use and folds up almost flat. Very adjustable for tall or short users. So pleased with it so far and will get a set of spare resistance bands for it in the future just in case I need them. 👍

Seen one of these on Facebook and thought would check. This is identical and cheaper.Easy to assemble and absolutely love it.Next day deliveryThank you

This is like a full body work out, you can focus on arms and back more if you pull and push the handles.If you want to focus on legs you need to push the peddles with your feet and do the squatting movement - you’ll still be holding the handles but you just don’t exert pressure through your arms,This is amazing for days when you’re just too tired to go to the gym you can definitely do a few sets of this and not feel guilty.I’ve seen that you can do other stuff with this machine but I haven’t tried yet my body is too achy at the moment, if you want to stay fit get a bit toned then I think this is for you!I wish you all the best in your fitness journey❤️

This machine is BRILLIANT!!! Seriously!!! I am 58 years old lol. I have arthritis in my knees and hips but still I can work out on this Sunny Health & Fitness Squat Assist Upright Row-N-Ride Rowing Machine, Horse Riding Machine. It really is very comfortable to use and is NOT too stressful on the old joints. In fact, I have found that my joints are getting better and better and are slowly loosening up. I am also losing weight and building muscle in my legs and arms. And I really enjoy the challenge. Every week I am adding more pulls. My breathing is better, my mobility is improving and I am sleeping far better. All around this is a great piece of kit and I highly recommend it to everyone. It truly is an all-over body workout machine.

Once we worked out how to assemble it we find it to be just the job for increasing muscle strength which is important as you age. The instructions took both of us to work out.

Was hard to put it together as the instructions make it more completed. But got my brother over and he did it in about 10 mins.So we were all having a go last night, hopping on and off in between. Well I’ve woke up this morning and can hardly move. Only did about 50 on and off during the evening. Different settings to use, so you can feel the burn. Can’t wait to use it more once I can walk again… and see the changed in my body, worth the money and not as large as I thought so does not take up much room. If you want a piece of equipment that does a whole body work out then this is it, well made and solid.

Ordered this 6 days ago and received it today :) being in quarantine I wanted something that would work out my core and bum. I was getting rather demotivated at home and different sets of exercises was getting boring.I got this after researching a lot and reading reviews. I plan to do 15-20 minutes daily which is perfect and will tackle the two main areas that I want to work on (plus more which is good thing of course).The machine comes packed in a long box.Instructions were so flipping difficult for me to follow and I’m generally very good at it.Luckily there wasn’t much to do. I followed a you tube tutorial instead which was very helpful.There are also workout programmes to follow for this machine which is very handy.It is sturdy. I wish the digital display wasn’t so cheaply made in comparison to everything else.I’ve used it once for 15 minutes and felt the burn in my thighs by the time finished, not to mention out of breath!I’ve struggled with squats for some time now and could only managed 50 during a session. Today I did 150 with intervals.It is my first time so will play around with the settings.It folds away easily (this instruction was the easiest to follow in the book)!It’s just day one and I’m very impressed ...I normally see a difference within a week with outs so will review again next week....

Received my Sunny Squat on Sunday on my birthday and put it together all by myself about half an hour. Watched Youtube person putting it together then followed instructions, quite straight forward.I tried it straight away, then again Monday and yesterday. I exercise 5-6 times a week normally and the treadmill and rowing machine just does not hit this area. You can definitely feel it working straight away in the glutes and the thighs. Its early days but I believe this is the perfect piece for a home gym to hit the lockdown area that we have all gained (unless you are very lucky). I wish I had purchased it sooner. Really good buy and its not too heavy you can move it around from room to room without straining yourself. AAAA++++

My husband really likes this piece of equipment as he says it works like a rowing machine but takes up much less space. He is 79 and very fit and active. I did buy it for myself but I find I can only do a couple of minutes on it as it's quite hard work whereas he can do nearly 10 minutes as well as 20 minutes floor exercises and a 30 minute walk every day. Well made and sturdy and a great buy.

I'm glad I bought this machine, especially for the days that I can't go to the gym. It's easy to use, and offers comfort at home.

For the price I was expecting it would not be a strong piece of equipment and was amazed how well built this is! Not too difficult to put together either as most of it came bolted together. Nearly all bolts and screws attached so that you wouldn't need to go hunting for them or checking you have enough when attaching 4 other bits of the frame!Over a few days of use the performance has been great. I have looked at various videos of their recommended exercises and I'm already getting results in my fitness level. I'm seeing some toning of legs, arms and core. I've still a long way to go to achieve my fitness goals but with regular use I can see this will do the trick.Really happy I got this and of course it folds together making it great to stand against a wall, under the bed, stairs or in a cupboard. Can't fault this gym equipment.I bought a treadmill from some other company before this purchase which cost me 2 1/2 times the price and it was dreadful. The belt would slide around and just walking or jogging on it was a limited form of exercise. I had to return it. I was just lucky to see an equivalent model of the row n ride advertised on QVC which was an old video. After some research of the different models I decided to to go for the Sunny Health & Fitness one. I don't regret it.I'm looking to having an all-over toned body with a strong flat core. I'm no young 20 something either! But exercising will improve anyone's body whatever their age!

Love this. I wanted something that stretched and moved my whole body to help loosen up joints and this does the trick. Can push bum backwards and get a good back and shoulder stretch and pull the handlebars back and forth to strengthen back. Can choose level of pull and how far you push it. Good for beginners. Really pleased with it, and it folds away when you need it to. Price was excellent.
