Jose's Story
Jose is a 39 year old Aerospace Engineer who lost over 50 pounds and four pant sizes from Rowbiking. Jose has known from a young age that rowing is one of the most efficient workouts there is. However, Jose fell victim to the bordem of indoor rowing machines and was forced to look elsewhere for fitness activities that kept him motivated.
Jose stumbled across our website accidentally and was immediatley intrigued by the Rowbike. After recieving his machine he began rowing every other day to build endurance. After four months of slowly increasing speed he began to notice significant weight loss (25 pounds). Over the next two months friends and family members watched Jose continue to lose even more weight...his father barely even recognized him when he sent him a picture! Jose is now into his third year of Rowbiking and has been steadily developing muscle while maintaining his size by rowing 18 miles in an hour and a half, every other day. He enjoys rowling the trails around Grapevine Lake near his home in Dallas, Texas, and loves the looks he gets every time he goes out rowing!
"I cannot express sufficiently in words the difference from the way I feel now to the way I used to feel two years ago, it is something that has to be lived through in order to understand how well-being can be achieved. Rowbike was worth every penny for the way it changed my lifestyle for the better," says Jose.
We would like to thank Jose for sharing his inspirational story and congratulate him on his accomplishment.
Update:
Jose has since been rowling on his friends 720 Sport in addtion to his King model and is now considering owning both models. Jose says he notices a difference between both cycles stating, "The Crew demands more repetition due to the smaller 20 in diameter wheels whereas the King requires a greater level of strength, and it does go faster as I always suspected (I Love it!). I complete my regular 19 mile tour in 80 minutes with the King which takes me a little over 100 minutes on the Crew. The intensity of the excerise is very similar though, so it is not a bad idea to own one of each to suit the type of exercise you may want to do on a particular day."
