Product Description
Rowing is widely recognized with trainers and fitness experts as one of the best all around activities for cardiovascular fitness and strength. Rowing is an efficient, effective total body workout that utilizes all major muscle groups including the back, legs, arms, abdominals and buttocks. It is 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 for more efficient calorie and fat burning without the impact on your joints.
The super quiet recumbent bike is designed to put you in a semi-reclined position so your workout focuses on all the major muscles in your hips, thighs, and buttocks. Stationary cycling is also among the most effective low-impact aerobic exercises because it increases your metabolism for more efficient calorie and fat burning without impact on your joints.

Rowing and cycling are widely considered two of the best all-around activities for cardiovascular fitness and strength, and now you can enjoy both workouts in a single device with the deluxe Conversion II recumbent bike/rower. Rowing is an efficient total body workout that uses all the major muscle groups, including the legs, arms, shoulders, abdominals, and buttocks. It’s also one of the best exercises for building a strong back, as well as one of the most effective low-impact aerobic exercises for people who want to increase their metabolisms and burn more calories without hurting their joints. Stationary cycling, meanwhile, is also a terrific low-impact cardiovascular exercise, with a routine that focuses on all the major muscles in your hips, thighs, and buttocks.
The Conversion II looks like a standard rower, with a molded, adjustable foam-padded seat and seat back, rotating rowing pedals, and an extruded aluminum rowing beam. However, the seat also doubles as a recumbent bike seat that supports your lower back while you ride, with foot straps holding your feet securely in place as you pedal. And that’s not all, as the Conversion II also offers options for working your upper body–including such exercises as bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, and forearm curls–along with a resistance cord that attaches under the seat for light leg presses.
Other details include eight levels of smooth, quiet magnetic resistance; a multifunction electronic monitor with a large LCD display that tracks speed, distance, time, calories burned, and pulse; sturdy steel construction; a hand-pulse sensor built into the grips to measure heartbeats per minute; a weight capacity of 250 pounds; wheels for easy transport; and a folding frame for quick, effortless storage. The Conversion II measures 74.5 by 25.5 by 10 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 105 pounds.

Total Costumer Reviews:(22)
The actual product seems to be working out pretty good, although I have only been using it about 4 weeks. The only complaint that I would have is that it arrived damaged. This was not discovered until it was being put together as the packaging material was in the way upon the delivery inspection. The damage consists of a large dent on the seat track on the top surface and a banged up case around the pedals. Neither issue seems to have any affect on the operation of the bike, but it would be nice to have a better packaging set up on such an expensive items. If it wasn’t for being damaged, I would have given it a 5 / 5 star review as the bike itself is very nice, easy to use and easy to assemble.

This is my first rower and I love it. I’m really glad I decided to get the combo with the recumbent bike because it is a great way to continue the cardio after the rower kicks my bu**. Set up wasn’t too bad and it has worked great from the get go. (1 month so far).

This product is nowhere near worth the money. When mine arrived, it had a couple bent parts that made it difficult to put together. Once I got it together, it worked as advertised for three months. Then a strap got caught in the fly wheel and the rower no longer worked. I spent several hours one weekend taking it apart and untangling the strap. The machine worked for about two more months before the same thing happened. This time, it couldn’t be fixed, and the rower was unusable. I continued to use it as a bike for a couple more months. Then that too broke. It now needs to be thrown out.
This machine is badly designed and poorly made. It is also grossly overpriced. I gave it two stars instead of one only because in the few months in which it was working, it worked as advertised.

Used it a few times and really liked it, the combination of both bike and rower was just what I was looking for. However after about 3-4 uses the fabric strap for rower began to fray. I called for warranty service and Stamina said they would send me a replacement strap. That was 7 weeks ago and apparantly the strap is still on backorder. I’m still able to use the bike which works just fine but I don’t want to use the rower for fear the strap will actually break and possibly cause other problems. As of today I am rating it a 4 because I really like the unit itself, but if I don’t get the strap soon (and if it doesn’t solve the fraying problem) then that rating will easily go down to a 2.

Received in good shape. Assembly went reasonably smoothly. Machine changes between bike and row easily. Is quiet, and is a good workout. Only had it two weeks but if it holds up is an excellent machine for the low money.
