Hi there,

I am planning to buy a rowing machine on amazon. It will set me back around 120 $. The weight is 38 lbs so shipping and handling will be around 130 $. Original price was like 250 $.

My question now:

Does anybody bought a rowing machine here in the D.R. ? Would it still be cheaper to get it from amazon (I am in Bavaro, so going to SD for it is not an option atm)?

Thanks for input! :)

Which brand/model are you looking at? Concept2 has some nice, but expensive, stuff.

Caribmike,

I would not buy ANY fitness equipment and have it shipped to DR. Any savings on the price are lost on the S&H. I would suggest that you use that $250 and buy a gym membership instead.

No kidding.

Or go to any of the big stores like Plaza Lama or Sirena, and look at the equipment they have. It's really not that expensive.

No rowing machines as far as I know, and no, it's not cheap. Unless you want a piece of crap that will break within 3 months, you have to be ready to spend at least 15 or 20K DOP on a fair quality cardio machine.
