About this product
The BodyTrac Glider Hydraulic Rowing Machine uses cylinder resistance for a smooth, quiet workout. Priced at $169.99, it is an unbranded, budget-friendly option for home use. The resistance is rated at 250 lbs, making it suitable for moderate intensity training.
Our take
I picked up the BodyTrac Glider Hydraulic Rowing Machine as an inexpensive entry into rowing. For $170, it's lightweight and easy to assemble, but the hydraulic resistance feels inconsistent. It's fine for light cardio, but don't expect the smoothness of air or magnetic rowers. The lack of a monitor means no feedback on distance or calories—you're rowing blind. The 250 lb resistance claim seems generous; it's easy to max out. If you're on a tight budget and just want to move, it'll do, but serious rowers should look elsewhere.
