SuperMat Treadmill Mat
The SuperMats® TreadSolid, 3-ft x 7.5-ft equipment mat is intended for use with extra-long treadmills, elliptical cross trainers and rowers. The tough design also allows it to be used for some commercial applications. The durable, solid vinyl PVC construction helps protect floors and carpets from damage and also dimishes vibration and muffles noises. It's easily cleaned with a damp cloth.Customer Review: Daily Treadmill User
We purchased 3 of these mats recently for 2 treadmills and an eliptical. I must say that the mats are not as durable as I was expecting. They are very soft and it's difficult to position the heavy exercise equipment on the mat without it rolling up underneath. The mats have also torn easily when the equipment is moved around. You would be better off with a much stiffer mat than this one.
Customer Review: Wrong size shipped twice
The description on Amazon.com said that it was 7 feet long. Twice they sent me a mat that was only 6 feet long. I called customer service and they said that they must not actually have the product that I ordered. I cancelled my order and ended up ordering a different mat (7 feet long) that unfortunately was twice the price.
Drishti Extra Thick Yoga Mat
Same high quality as the Drishti Standard Mat, but twice as thick! More padding for those sensitive elbows and knees. Provides extra cushion without being squishy and unstable. Available in 6 colors.Customer Review: Love it!
Have used it for about a month now and LOVE IT! It is thick and comfy and love the color (purple). Highly recommend it! Bought the mat after using a friend's and renting from the studio. When I got it I washed it as recommended, a couple of times, with some dishsoap and water . Probably washed it 3 times in the first week. I usually use a towel over my mat (hot yoga) so I have never experienced a slip or other problem.
Customer Review: Too Squishy
I liked the thickness of this mat, but it is not very dense so you sink in. I hated that standing on the mat left temporary footprints and balancing on this mat was difficult too.

This product has solid build quality and offers good support. Overall, the inversion table was brought to help with back problems but as of yet the results are unclear. However, if you want to do some upside down situps it works very well. Overall, the product is sturdy and reliable.
Customer Review: Stamina Inversion Stretch Station
I ordered this product for my daughter who had a similar aparatus several years ago. She has some scoliosis, works standing on her feet all day, and basically needed something to assist in relieving back discomfort and pain. She is happy with the piece of equipment, but says there are a couple of things which caused her not to rate it a 5. The positives are that it was easy to put together, it is easy to get in and out of by herself, it does help with her back problems. The negatives as she told me are that it takes up quite a bit of room in her small apartment. Even though it folds up, if it is stood up against the wall when folded, it is top heavy and just flips over. For her, to store it under the bed, would not be good because then it would fit in the senerio of "Out of sight, out of mind, and it would not be used as often as she does use it now, and because of the more effort to drag it out from under the bed, she would not use it as often." She would agree that seems to be a bit of a a lazy streak on her part, not to drag it out, but that is what she told me. Also, she finds that if she "hangs" in it more than 5 minutes at a time, then the blood rushing to her head causes her to have a headache. That may be her physical makeup rather than the machine. She said, she has always gotten a headache when doing things with her head down, things like standing on her head, etc. Over all she is happy with the apparatus because it does help relieve some of her back discomfort.

Product Features Counts total steps and distance Tracks total calories burned Stopwatch functions Crisp digital display Durable belt clip Additional Features Colors: Black Blue and Clear Battery Type: V392 x 1 (included) 1 year limited warrantyStamina Conversion II Recumbent Bike / Rower
Featuring a battery-operated monitor displaying speed, distance, time, calories burned, and heart rate, this two-in-one machine combines a recumbent bicycle and a rower for two types of low-impact strength and cardio workouts. Moving a pin switches from one mode to the other. In either bicycle or rower mode, magnetic resistance provides a quiet, smooth workout, whose intensity can be varied by turning an eight-position knob without interrupting a workout. A foam-padded seat glides on a ball-bearing roller system along an aluminum rail during rowing, and adjusts to fit different leg lengths for recumbent biking. For bicycling, oversized pedals and adjustable foot-straps hold feet securely to improve pulling motion, in addition to pushing motion. For rowing, a heavy-duty nylon strap and foam grips keep hands stable and comfortable. Assembled, the machine measures 74-1/4 inches long x 23-1/2 inches wide x 34 inches high and weighs 108 pounds. Folded for storage, it measures 34 inches long x 23-1/3 inches wide x 56-1/2 inches high. About Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out.
The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.
Customer Review: Excellent dual use home exercise machine
First, it's important to note that you're not going to get the same level of quality with home fitness equipment as you will in the gym. This is because the price of the equipment you see in the gym is much higher. Keeping this in mind, I want to offer my thoughts on this combination rower/recumbent bike. I am used to gym quality exercise equipment, but needed something good for home use when my schedule or the weather wouldn't allow me to get to the gym. I've had bad experiences with home exercise equipment before, so decided to give this one a try. I was pleasantly surprised. First, I want to comment on getting the unit set up. I am not an expert at putting things together. In fact, I'm pretty lousy with my hands. But, I put this unit together in around an hour with a couple of simple tools and made no mistakes. Simply put, the instructions are clear and not beyond what the average (or below average) person can handle. Second, the unit itself is well made. Honestly this is the first home machine I've actually felt confident using on a regular basis (and that didn't make it to the garage in the first three months). Most home equipment feels like it's going to fall apart, but this unit is sturdy, yet the movement is fluid. It easily converts from bike to rower and back with a simple movement and locking or unlocking of the seat. The computer has many features like calories, heart rate, distance, odometer, etc. However, like most home equipment the computer's accuracy is suspect, at least on calories (there's no option to input weight), and on my computer, the heartrate monitor only works part of the time. Still, I can live with this since I can easily take my own pulse. The unit is rather large but can easily be "folded up" to get it out of the way. Third, the bike and rower are a great combination for fitness since you can easily work upper and lower body with the simple movement of a seat. In fact, although difficult, rowing is probably one of the best all around total body workouts. This unit has multiple difficulty settings so that people of all fitness and strength levels can use it. The "two for one" aspect is probably my favorite part since it was the one piece of home exercise equipment my wife and I could agree on! She enjoys the bike while I love the rower. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this combination rower/recumbent bike. Although not quite gym quality, for the relatively low price, you get a high quality, sturdy, dual exercise machine. It's passed my personal test: after nearly a year it's still in my house, in one piece, and above all, being used!
Customer Review: We love it
We are very pleased with this bike/rower. It shipped much faster than promised, was easy to assembly and is easy to operate. It is smooth sailing to use, and no trouble to switch exercises in the middle of a workout, which helps us stay at it for more than 30 minutes. And it is quite enough to use while the TV is on in the same room and not disturb anyone. We are very satisfied with our purchase.

Body Solid PUB34 Pro-Style Doorway Chinning Bar
Work out your back and biceps in the comfort of your living room with this Body Solid pro-style chinning bar. Designed to mount quickly and easily in most doorway frames, the bar is made of heavy-gauge, reinforced steel, with a frame that adjusts from 29 to 38 inches wide. More significantly, the bar extends a full 10 inches out and away from the doorway frame, giving you plenty of head clearance when performing full-range pull-ups. Other features include a convenient lift-out design for easy storage, a 300-pound weight capacity, and all mounting hardware. The chinning bar carries a lifetime warranty.
Customer Review: Body Solid Chinning Bar works OK
This was a decent pull up bar for a reasonable price. I was looking for something that would not require me to put anything permanent in the doorway. Unfortunately, I missed the fact that this product actually did require brackets to be screwed into the doorframe, which prevents closing the door completely. This would not be a problem in an infrequently used doorway where the door never needed to be closed. This may have been my fault for not reading the information about the bar included on the website. Assembly of the metal frame pieces was straightforward and installation was fairly simple (screwing an included bracket into each doorframe). The bar seems quite sturdy for me(175 lbs), but the diameter of the bar was a bit too small for my hands. A firm rubber slip-on grip to enlarge the bar and make the smooth surface easier to hold onto, would be a great addition.
Customer Review: Hassle
Did not come with instructions, so i had to stare at the photo to figure out how to assemble the product. Also does not come with screws and nuts, so an extra trip to the hardware store is necessary. Why buy online when a trip has to be made to use the product.

The exercises might work for getting fit if the Body Wedge 21 foundation was of a better quality. This air blown structure is not durable for proforming most of the 21 exercises.
Customer Review: Body Wedge 21 THE BEST!!!!!
I ordered the Body Wedge 21 after using it at the fitness club at a Marriott Resort in California. I just love that on this ONE piece of equipment you can do 21 exercises that cover all the target zones. The elevation of the inflatable Body Wedge 21 is comfortable and will not strain your back muscles like the exercise ball sometimes does. It is such a COMPLETE workout for only doing 21 exercises. It is portable so that I can bring it on vacation with me. This is the least expensive piece of exercise equipment I own and I just love this one the BEST!!!
Pull Up Chin Up Push Up Sit Up Multi Function Bar
Customer Review: Doesnt fit at all!!!So I bought this for my boyfriend because he would like to workout when hes in my apt, since he wouldnt be able to go to the gym. Once it came and we put it together, it didnt fit any of my door frames because the curved part of the bar is too long.... I dont know what kinfd of door the guy in the picture is using it on but it was def NO WHERE CLOSE TO fitting my doors..... so now he uses it just for the dips, but we were SO disappointed because the main reason he wanted it was for the pull-ups. The only reason i didnt send it back was because I didnt feel like going through the extra hassle.
Customer Review: Nice product
If you want to do pull ups this thing works. Just make sure that you a door with a frame so that the hooks on top can latch on. I do pull-ups hanging out of my front door for all my neighbors to see because that is the only door in my apartment that has a frame.

Drishti Standard Yoga Mat
The best mat in its class that we've seen! We know that finding a quality mat in the sea of mats offered in the world can be tricky, so we were determined to design an excellent one that could also be sold for a great price. And so we present to you the Drishti mat! Its non-slip surface and slight cushion make it the perfect indispensible yoga tool.Customer Review: Two Sides to All Yoga Mats; Know Which Side is Up
Yoga mats come in three basic thicknesses. At 1/8" this mat is of average thickness. At 24" x 68" it is also the standard width and length. Mats that are about half a thick as this one are good for travel or placing under a thicker mat to provide more traction. The thick mats (3/16") are about 50% thicker than this one and are designed for those who need or want extra cushion. There are two sides to this and nearly all yoga mats. Look carefully at the 'bumps' on each side of the mat. The larger bumps are designed to face upwards to cushion your hands, feet, and knees during poses while keeping your body from dangerously slipping out of alignment. The smaller bumps are designed to face downwards to grip the floor and keep the yoga mat from sliding. Many mats have a label on one end with the name of the brand. This is typically, but not always, located on the 'up' side. The bumps will tell you for sure. This yoga mat will increase in softness and stickiness with use. (So do most mats.) They start out mildly sticky and increase in stickiness the more they are used. You will want to wash your mat when it first arrives so as to remove the thin film they get on their surface during the manufacturing process. Instructions for washing the mat are included. Once you've washed and dried your mat you're ready to begin! After using it for a while, if you find the mat decreasing in stickiness each time you pull it out, this is the typical sign that a light coating of dust or too much body sweat has accumulated on your mat and it needs a light hand washing with very diluted soap and water. After washing, roll your mat in a thick towel to squeeze out the excess water, otherwise it will take forever to dry in the air. Then, air dry your mat unrolled, inside, and away from sunlight. (Hanging over the shower bar works nicely.) When you first unroll your mat you will find one end to be a bit curled. Simply alternate the direction you roll your mat (top outside once, then bottom outside next) or the end you start from (curled end once, flat end next time) and you'll find it straightening out more or less over time. I recommend buying your own yoga mat even if your yoga studio or gym provides them for you. I've worked in many studios and gyms over the years. Sometimes management has mats cleaned often, sometimes not. If you bring your own mat you always know where it's been. :o) Plus, owning your own mat may encourage you to begin valuable practice at home. For my students who have trouble with their knees in some of the poses requiring the body weight to rest on a knee, I recommend temporarily folding over one end of the mat to get double cushion under the knee while still leaving one layer under the rest of the body. This saves you having to haul more than one mat out each time you practice which can be discouraging especially to the beginner.

I was pleased with the quality of this item. I was afraid it would be too flimsy to hold the weights, but it is very sturdy. It was also very easy to assemble. Overall, a great buy.
Stamina Conversion II Recumbent Bike / Rower
Featuring a battery-operated monitor displaying speed, distance, time, calories burned, and heart rate, this two-in-one machine combines a recumbent bicycle and a rower for two types of low-impact strength and cardio workouts. Moving a pin switches from one mode to the other. In either bicycle or rower mode, magnetic resistance provides a quiet, smooth workout, whose intensity can be varied by turning an eight-position knob without interrupting a workout. A foam-padded seat glides on a ball-bearing roller system along an aluminum rail during rowing, and adjusts to fit different leg lengths for recumbent biking. For bicycling, oversized pedals and adjustable foot-straps hold feet securely to improve pulling motion, in addition to pushing motion. For rowing, a heavy-duty nylon strap and foam grips keep hands stable and comfortable. Assembled, the machine measures 74-1/4 inches long x 23-1/2 inches wide x 34 inches high and weighs 108 pounds. Folded for storage, it measures 34 inches long x 23-1/3 inches wide x 56-1/2 inches high. About Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out.
The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.
Customer Review: Excellent dual use home exercise machine
First, it's important to note that you're not going to get the same level of quality with home fitness equipment as you will in the gym. This is because the price of the equipment you see in the gym is much higher. Keeping this in mind, I want to offer my thoughts on this combination rower/recumbent bike. I am used to gym quality exercise equipment, but needed something good for home use when my schedule or the weather wouldn't allow me to get to the gym. I've had bad experiences with home exercise equipment before, so decided to give this one a try. I was pleasantly surprised. First, I want to comment on getting the unit set up. I am not an expert at putting things together. In fact, I'm pretty lousy with my hands. But, I put this unit together in around an hour with a couple of simple tools and made no mistakes. Simply put, the instructions are clear and not beyond what the average (or below average) person can handle. Second, the unit itself is well made. Honestly this is the first home machine I've actually felt confident using on a regular basis (and that didn't make it to the garage in the first three months). Most home equipment feels like it's going to fall apart, but this unit is sturdy, yet the movement is fluid. It easily converts from bike to rower and back with a simple movement and locking or unlocking of the seat. The computer has many features like calories, heart rate, distance, odometer, etc. However, like most home equipment the computer's accuracy is suspect, at least on calories (there's no option to input weight), and on my computer, the heartrate monitor only works part of the time. Still, I can live with this since I can easily take my own pulse. The unit is rather large but can easily be "folded up" to get it out of the way. Third, the bike and rower are a great combination for fitness since you can easily work upper and lower body with the simple movement of a seat. In fact, although difficult, rowing is probably one of the best all around total body workouts. This unit has multiple difficulty settings so that people of all fitness and strength levels can use it. The "two for one" aspect is probably my favorite part since it was the one piece of home exercise equipment my wife and I could agree on! She enjoys the bike while I love the rower. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this combination rower/recumbent bike. Although not quite gym quality, for the relatively low price, you get a high quality, sturdy, dual exercise machine. It's passed my personal test: after nearly a year it's still in my house, in one piece, and above all, being used!
Customer Review: We love it
We are very pleased with this bike/rower. It shipped much faster than promised, was easy to assembly and is easy to operate. It is smooth sailing to use, and no trouble to switch exercises in the middle of a workout, which helps us stay at it for more than 30 minutes. And it is quite enough to use while the TV is on in the same room and not disturb anyone. We are very satisfied with our purchase.
