Overview

The BodyTrac Glider is Stamina's hydraulic-resistance rowing machine, using a ball-bearing roller and dual hydraulic cylinders instead of a flywheel to mimic an on-water stroke. It folds for storage and carries a 250 lb user weight limit for home use.

Hydraulic cylinders make this a compact, low-impact machine rather than a full-length slide rower, so the stroke is shorter and the resistance feel differs from a Concept2-style unit. Build quality is basic for the price, with a couple of owners flagging rough welds or a faulty roller wheel.

  • Ball-bearing roller with dual hydraulic cylinders
  • Padded molded seat, textured strapped footplates
  • Large readout monitor and device tray
  • Companion muuv app with guided workouts

Who it's for

Suits people who want a quiet, joint-friendly cardio option they can fold away in a small apartment, including those managing arthritis or past injuries. Serious rowers chasing a long, powerful stroke or a performance monitor will find it limited.
