For a more strenuous workout just raise the frame on the back so you have to push your body weight upwards. Make sure you secure the front wheels, so the machine stays put.
After watching your reviews on similar rowers I decided on this one. Picked one up from Walmart on clearance for $497. Easy assembly and it does what I need. I’m seriously out of shape so I haven’t tested the resistance to it’s limits. It folds up for easy storage also. My only gripe is that the speakers are terrible, even at max volume I can barely hear the IFIT trainer. Other than that I’m happy with my purchase. Definitely saved some money by purchasing this rower. 👍🏾
Great review, complete, to the point. Looks to be a good machine based on info given. Subscribed due to reviewer, very professional. Thank you. Good job filming attributes of this unit also.
I must have a previous version of the 750R because my console doesn't have built-in workouts, the Start/Stop buttons, or the iPad/iPhone holder on the top. Other than that the machine it self seems to be identical.
I see you reviewed the Nordic track 500rw as well - which stands out to you? They are very similar. Which is better for someone like me that is new to rowing but wants a good workout?
Excellent review. I'm considering to purchase it but I'm a bit concerned about how much would it last cause I'm planning to use it every day cause I wanna switch from treadmills to rowing for my cardio trainings. I've heard most of the times these machines are for casual users. Has someone used it for a while and share their insights with me? Thx!
Great review 👏. Are you planning a review of The Aviron Rower? If so a thorough review, and comparison of Aviron with this rower and Hydrow, Cityrow max Rowers would be great. Debating which one to get. Thanks
Yes it is slightly annoying but most beginning rowers won't notice it. If you're more advanced we would recommend checking out the Concept2, AssaultRower or Hydrow.
@@ritzenhauf My husband did just that for me to be able to use the app and be able to see it on the full screen instead of pushing it half out so the console wouldn't touch the on/off buttons.
We haven't been able to get the ProForm to connect with a smartwatch. But, depending on the program, sometimes you can sync your iFit with a 3rd party app.
Good question. The 750R rower has a respectable max resistance - it's on par with midrange on the C2. They're hard to compare directly though because the 750R has preset resistance levels and the C2 doesn't - it's an air rower, so the harder you pull, the more resistance is generated. One reason people like the C2 rowers is because they have "unlimited resistance." A strong, CrossFit athlete can be challenged by the C2 as much as a person who is new to rowing. The advantage of the 750R is you have those preset resistance levels, so you can find and maintain the same resistance each time you row.
I have rowed for 18 year's very successful career. I love your review butt for a woman even myself the 24 restance is more than enough. Rowing is a HIT workout do that 24 restance man or woman on a 10k aim for under 30 min. And if your not dead at the end your better than me. So go join the Olympics.
Totally agree with your points there. All we were saying in this review is that there are other rowers (C2, Hydrow, etc.) that offer more resistance than this machine. Yes 24 levels of resistance for a 10k is more than enough but for a 30 second sprint, we found that the highest level of resistance on this machine might not be enough resistance for some users. I appreciate your insight and hope that this adds some clarity. Thanks!
About those footboards: based on the video, it looks like they don't really pivot - at least not the way something like the Sunny Fitness models footboards pivot, where the entire footboard rotates through a much larger sweep.The Proform site also claims they pivot, but, again, based on this video they seem fairly fixed. I'd prefer fixed (I think), but would like to know in advance. Thanks.
These footboards are fixed and don't pivot the way some of the rowers at Sunny Health & Fitness do. These pedals allow you to lift your heels in the catch if they naturally lift for you when you're in that position. My heels naturally lift a little in the catch. The footboards however are fixed to allow you to really push through your legs.
It won't sync with another app as far as synching the metrics - but you could certainly watch any app you want on a tablet while the digital console records your rowing metrics.
I bought and returned a 750R, I had the model with grey legs, It did NOT have any free pre-programmed workouts. The resistance was jerky and not fluid.

Try to get price adjustment! It is now $397
Thanks for the review. I'm getting mine delivered tomorrow and I feel pretty good about it thanks to videos like this.
Thanks for watching! We hope you enjoy your new machine!
how do u like it
Great! I can feel the resistance as you pull!

Thank you for that feedback, we really appreciate it!

Would you explain what that 20 preloaded workouts are? They're not in the manual, I am not using the ifit app.

Great review!! Thanks Christine!!
Thanks for watching!
When folded for storage are you able to fold the console up and out of the way as well?
The knob on the side of the console arm allows the console to drop down so it rests on the neck of the rower, however it doesn't fold flat.
Your video helped me decide to buy this rowing machine from Dicks sports. Thanks
great review!

Do you find that lag resistance in the fabric strap with each row annoying?
Yes it is slightly annoying but most beginning rowers won't notice it. If you're more advanced we would recommend checking out the Concept2, AssaultRower or Hydrow.
thanks for your review, very complete one.
Very informative review!
Thanks!
What tablet did you use for this demo? My tablet turns on/off because the buttons keep touching the console. It's very frustrating... 🙄
I love it other than that!
We just used a standard iPad - not the new, larger version.
Agree. You have to add a shim of some sort so the buttons aren't pressed. Crazy design.
@@ritzenhauf My husband did just that for me to be able to use the app and be able to see it on the full screen instead of pushing it half out so the console wouldn't touch the on/off buttons.
Is there a headphone jack to plug your device into and make use of the speakers?

Would you recommend for someone 60, but in fairly good shape?
What makes the belt slip?
Can this rower broadcast data for tracking through a Garmin watch for example?
We haven't been able to get the ProForm to connect with a smartwatch. But, depending on the program, sometimes you can sync your iFit with a 3rd party app.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru thanks for the response! I'll look for another option then.
I love your review video! Question, Level 24 resistance on the 750R is comparable to which level resistance on the Concept 2?

Does anyone know if it is possible to sync this to the iFit TV app on a smart tv instead of a tablet?
Unfortunately, it doesn't presently have the ability to connect to a TV app.

Great review ! Does this work with any app or Ifit only ?

How do you turn off the console???
The console times out, but doesn't power down on it's own. You have to unplug the rower to completely turn off the console
@@TreadmillReviewGuru This morning, the console display was off. I appreciate the reply.
I bought and returned a 750R, I had the model with grey legs, It did NOT have any free pre-programmed workouts. The resistance was jerky and not fluid.
What I need are reviews for the rower, not iFit
I just picked this up from walmart cyber monday deal for $397.00 🤯
Me too!
@@Liz.cotugno Did you figure out how the console display shuts off?
