Stamina 15-9003 Exercise Bike Review

The Stamina 15-9003 is a little different than most recumbent exercise bikes in that it is a hybrid that gives you the option for both a lower body and upper body workout. In addition to the full body workout feature, this bike also folds into a smaller package for more convenient storage and transport.

The Stamina 15-9003 is the closest thing that you will find to a "dual action" recumbent exercise bike at this time. The bike is referred to as a "Recumbent / Rower" but what you really get is the benefits of a recumbent exercise bike as well as a multi purpose fitness machine with different options for upper and lower body workouts.

This is really quite a unique fitness machine which, not only gives you the upper and lower body workouts but also provides much more variety and interest to your workout routine (which makes it easier to stick with it).

The Stamina 15-9003 provides excellent low impact, aerobic upper and lower body workout and is more compact and cheaper than other home fitness equipment.

Fantastic Piece of Equipment, September 20, 2007
By Tams

This is a great piece of equipment. If you are wondering if quality is compromised as a result of the 2-for-1 deal, you'll be very happy to know that it isn't. This is a smooth and quiet piece of equipment. I am very impressed with it. It is of very nice quality.

It took me about an hour to put together because I was being very attentive to the directions and taking my time. At first sight, the instructions are slightly confusing but it only takes a few minutes of looking over everything to understand them.

The monitor is of nice quality and has several different modes: time, speed, calorie, pulse, RPM and distance. It's actually built into the bike/rower with this model as opposed to being on top like a very similar model that currently goes for $100 less. To me, it looks better built in as it is with this model.

Now that I've said that, what I specifically like about this bike/rower is that is really more like a 3-in-1 machine. You not only get the bike/rower combination but they built it for strength training as well...
