What It Is
A full-body cardio machine that hits your legs, back, core, and lungs in every pull. Each stroke starts with power from the legs, flows through the hips and core, and finishes with the upper body. It’s smooth, tough, and brutally effective when done right.
Score Recap
Burn Output: 9/10
Full-body engagement = high energy demand. Legs + back + arms means solid calorie burn across the board.
Sprint/HIIT Use: 8/10
Great for intervals and power sets. Slight delay to build flywheel speed, but once it’s moving — it hits hard.
Training Versatility: 8/10
Zone 2, intervals, tests, warm-ups — you can program just about anything. Requires solid form for max output.
Best Used For
If you want full-body cardio, a big calorie hit, or hard intervals that don’t wreck your joints, this machine delivers. Smooth output, real results.
