Rowing Machines

Why Choose a Rowing Machine?

One of the first questions from people looking to buy fitness equipment is why the rower is so good for you. We think there's no better single piece of equipment that's affordable, easy to store and can give you a great all-over workout, including a cardio workout!

Which Type Of Rowing Machine Should I Buy?

If you are looking to purchase a rowing machine for workouts in the comfort of your home, there are several things to consider before buying. When you start deciding between different models, you will discover the main variation is between those with magnetic resistance and the water or air-resistance rowers.

In the world of rowing machines, you tend to get what you pay for. Magnetic rowing machines are generally more budget-friendly and aren't as smooth as their counterparts. They are also far less reliable. So for any keen rowers out there, to simulate a real rowing experience, the air/water resistant rowing machines are far better options.
