Cubii JR TSV

Longhorn Gal — Wed, 24 Feb 2021 15:39:30 GMT

The Cubii JR TSV was just listed. I remember there was a TSV back in August for this same mode,l and it sold out. To anyone who purchased, how do you like it and have you continued using it? They have another version on the Cubii website, the Cubii JR2, which is 25% lighter than the JR. It is sold out right now, but is the weight (25 lbs) an issue for anyone who has the orginal JR now?

I was thinking of purchasing this for a family member who recently had a full knee replacement and will have the other knee done in a few months. He is able to use a stationary bike, but I thought this would be helpful while watching tv. Thanks in advance!

The weight certainly is an issue for me. Mine has been sitting in the garage since August b e cause it's too unwieldy and heavy for me to carry into the house. It's not just the weight but the pieces sticking out and flopping over that make it very difficult to move.

@Kachina624 Thank you for your reply. I may just end up waiting for the JR2 to come back in stock. On the Cubii website it says the JR is actually 27 pounds and the JR2 is 18.9 pounds. That it quite a bit of difference when you have to move it around a lot! I think it is also nearly 6 inches shorter than the JR, so it doesn't take up as much room.

I have had the cubii Jr for 3 years and love it. The weight is necessary to keep it from moving away from you while using. Bewatre that the lighter wt may be easier to move around but easier to move while using so yo will be having to constantly adjust. My friend purchased a lighter weight one and never uses it because of the constant need to adjust while using. I love my cubii Jr.

@ladychas Good point! I never thought about it moving around. That would get old real quick. I definitely have some things to think about.

I think it is heavy, bulky and ackward to carry. When you are finished doing your exercise on it it is a trip hazard due to the width. I think it needs tweeked!

I like mine. It's well built. Just put it where you sit all the time, or under your desk.....It is heavy, but that's because it's meant to last, and not break within a year.

I bought my Cubii when it was on special last time and I just love it. I'm 75 and I need knee surgery which I'm putting off as long as possible. When I use my Cubii for at least 30 minutes a day, my knee pain is so much less. My MD says that some people can go their whole lives without surgery, if they exercise correctly. I will buy mine again in a heartbeat if it ever gives out. Yes, it's heavy for me, but I keep it under my desk and I don't move it often.

A mat like they're offering might prevent movement.

Only one color left (turquoise), down from the original seven!

Re: Cubii JR TSV

SuhseK — Sat, 27 Feb 2021 19:55:16 GMT

I just bought the turquoise. I'm not concerned with the color, it's the machine that counts.

I've used the Cubii and it's a really good machine.

In my condo, we have a gym, but, with COVID, the hours they're open are limited, and the number of people that can be in there are very restricted.

I'm really looking forward to getting Cubii. 😊

I bought it when it was TSV I love it I work at home use it 5 days a week. It's on carpet so I don't use the mat.

for me it was money well spent.

@Longhorn Gal. I haven't used it but it comes with a mat on which you're supposed to place it to keep it from moving around. Don't know how effective it is.

I haven't gotten much use out of mine. My rooms are small and it is really too large for my safety. Have be careful with every step to be sure I dont fall over it. I'm sure I would like it though if I had more room..

I finally broke down and bought the Cubi; turqoise was the only color left but that doesn't matter to me. My hesitation was where I could put it. I can't lift over 20 lbs. after a knee replacement so its gotta stay where I put it! I really don't have an open space near a tv, so I will probably have to put it under a desk. I was looking into a recumbent bike as recommended by my physical therapist to strengthen my leg muscles around my bionic knee. This will take up less room and exercise my legs to keep my knees from stiffening up. Hope I like it as it would be a real hassle to return!

@SuhseK

I purchased as well in the Turquoise. I was originally not going to purchase, until next go around because I did not want that color, and I thought to myself after awhile what an idiotic thought pattern that is. The color should not matter, its the machine that I want and the results.

I am looking forward to using and hoping it's all that most of the reviews and testimonial calls say that it is.

I ordered this machine today also. I am so happy it's on advanced order, as I'm at the end of my monthly budget, LOL. I will be in a much better financial position in March, so it works out great. I actually really like the turquoise color and probably would have ordered it anyway, even if all the colors were available. Like others have said, color really doesn't matter in a piece of exercise equipment.

I've been doing Leslie Sansone's walking program daily, and this will be a nice addition to my exercise regime. Spring is right around the corner!

I expected the CUBII to be “too easy” for me

(arrogance, much?)

as I work out regularly by jogging, jumping rope

rebounding and stepping.

I was so wrong!

Im using the 1st level still!

I love my CUBII.

Its built to last.

I suggest finding the right chair to place it in front of,

then leaving it in place.

I would be cautious about the newest/lighter version.

It may be made w different material, such as plastic.

It might skid around much easier.

Its fun to watch tv or use my Kindle while pedaling.

Depending on how high the chair is and wether or not

you are scooted forward or leaning back, the

workout varies.

My upper front thighs can burn!

I received my machine, in just 5 days.

I've been using it, in 2, 15-20 minute increments, and I really like it.

I do work out regularly, I could do more time, but, like with any equipment, I believe in easing into a workout.

So far, I'd strongly recommend this machine!
