Adjustable Stand

This MagTrainer Table is a great value at $120.00. I've been searching for a suitable table that will support our MagTrainer Ergometer for the last 2 or 3 years, when we learned how helpful this type of device is for managing his stroke-affected right shoulder pain during physical therapy. I purchased the ergometer at that time but we both soon found it unstable on a typical table. The table was not at a height that was effective and the traveling across the table was frustrating. So I began to look around for a table like the ones I've seen in rehab settings. Unfortunately, the only tables I found were over $500, and more suitable for institutional settings. We didn't need all of their bells an whistles! Browsing Amazon, I found this one, even made by the manufacturer of the ergometer that we already owned. The price was a great deal less than I expected, it looked to be solid in construction and with the wide base, steel tubing and pullies, it had the features that we were seeking. It arrived yesterday as promised. I put it together with a little help from my husband who was able to support the upright posts while I secured them to the right and left support bases. Following directions and using the supplied hex and slotted hand wrenches, this adjustable table was easy to assemble. Placing his wheelchair behind the ergometer, we made some height and reach adjustments, got his right hand attached to the pedal, and he was comfortably off on his first session with the machine in some time. I am happy with the function of this table! I may have to put a couple of sandbags down on the forward part of the bases as he gets stronger and more vigorous, but that remains to be seen. And as the photo on Amazon gives only one perspective, I've attached some detailed pictures of it put together. I highly recommend this table for home use. Tap

I just finished putting this stand together and the first thing I have to say is EXCELLENT, CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS AND DRAWINGS! When on earth has that ever happened before? I must say though that when I saw the line of instruction which referred to my "assistant", I had a slight swell of dread arise, as I live along and did not see anyone handy walking down the sidewalk. However, there is only one part of the assembly where this would be particularly helpful; aligning and bolting on the two uprights. However, if you bolt the lighter one first, leaving bolts not quite tight, the stainless steel bar is much easier to install next. Don't know if you're the maker of the Magnetrainer but if not, you had to rise to a level of workmanship and integrity to match it -- and you did! Very solid. Heavy, but only as heavy as it has to be to make for a good work out. I use mine only for arm workouts so I really needed to get it up to a certain height. I'd been using it clamped to a table but it was a hassle. This I can leave up on my covered porch year-round. ONE small note; there is a screw knob to the back of the trainer which tightens it to the rectangle bar which slides into the back. When I tightened it -- and then tried pedaling -- it caused a groaning in the housing of the trainer which would have ruined so much of what I love about this. It is QUIET! Silent in fact. It took me a while to find that it was this knob causing the noise. I tightened more, didn't help. I released it, backing out until it has no contact. Totally silent when I pedal, no matter how hard. And you don't need it anyway, as the trainer is secured at front and cannot slide off the bar. Your Stand is very well designed, simply engineered, extremely good at what it is meant to do and, I think, a really great price for a tool that makes my workouts so easy to do and quiet in the doing. Thank you.

I have never commented on an Amazon purchase before. This was an extraordinary value. I already owned the trainer but was tired of the trainer sliding around on the table. This stand is easy to assemble because it is well-designed and well-made. It is very sturdy. The trainer fits into the stand flawlessly. I can stand or sit. And I can stand to the side of the machine now and do a 360° circumduction in the sagittal plane (yeah, go look that up). I have used the machine to rehab a dislocated right shoulder and a broken left collar-bone (ok, I am a klutz). But I also found it is a great machine for a cardio workout.

Very nice product. I want to share a few details with customers that could be thinking about buying one of these: 1- Strong and sturdy; 2- Perfect piece of equipment for the Magne Trainer (I mean, they are made for each other so the ergometer does not move or shake even a little bit when you are working out); 3- Did not take too long to assemble; 4- The little plastic pieces at the bottom of each of the two front stands kind of "disintegrated" into tiny pieces just by touching them. Basically, I now have metal touching the floor instead a plastic bases touching the floor. 5- I decided not to return it because..., I have no plan to move it from where it is. And I already mentioned that this equipment does not move or shake at all when working out. I suggest you buy this if you want to use the MagneTrainer for your arms.

This is a very well built stand. Increases usefulness of the MagneTrainer rather dramatically. Easy to assemble even without an assistant although they indicate one is needed and it will be easier if you have someone on hand. There is a bit of movement during use but its the MagneTrainer torquing a bit side to side with each cycle of the pedal or hand crank causing that side to side rocking. ...not a problem with the stand. Its minimal but you will experience it and it is more pronounced then when I used the MagneTrainer mounted on a table or the floor. I am not handicapped but I can see where someone who uses a wheel chair could really do well with this addition to their excercise equipment list. Its a solid piece of equipment and I recommend you consider it.
