It does not have a very large footprint and is lighter than most rowing machines in the market at just 40 pounds, which makes it easier to lift as well.

Resistance type

As mentioned earlier, an adjustable hydraulic cylinder is used by the Stamina BodyTrac Glider 1052. This kind of resistance will make you feel as if you are actually rowing through water. In addition, it also has a more straightforward mechanism due to which it is popular amongst people who are looking for an upper body workout, or want to maintain their cardiovascular health.

As opposed to the other hydraulic cylinder rowing machines in the market, the Stamina BodyTrac Glider 1052 is significantly smoother because of its capability of adjusting resistance and also due to the two ‘oars’, which try to emulate the actual rowing experience. Moreover, the rowing machine is also considerably quieter.

Technology

There is a white, blue and black LCD monitor on the Stamina BodyTrac Glider 1052 that tracks all fitness units, such as stroke count, total strokes and calories. It will also show you the current time. There are three buttons on the monitor, which are SET, RESET and MODE. Users can set their target workout goals with these. There is also a stand given for keeping tablets and phones.
