Rowing machines are the new stars in the cardio sky. The workout burns a lot of calories. Almost every muscle in the body is trained. If you want to add a highlight to the fitness room in your company, then these beautifully designed fitness machines are the perfect choice. We will help you choose the right model and show you what you need to consider.
The advantages of the Rower
The rowing movement challenges the muscles in your back, legs, shoulders and arms. Unlike running, there are no impact forces on the body. As with cross-trainers, the correct movement is easy on the joints. The resistance can be individually adjusted depending on the training goal. Everything is possible, from a light warm-up to a high-intensity strength and endurance workout.
The useful life
Professional rowing machines are designed to be used 24 hours a day and are ideal for studios. Extremely durable ball bearings and rail systems are used in these machines. These premium models enhance any fitness room.
We recommend semi-professional equipment for company fitness rooms. Used for 3 to 4 hours a day, these training machines offer great value for money and provide your employees with a great training experience. Many of our customers swear by the Life Fitness Rower or the E316 Indoor Rower from First Degree Fitness.
Air or water: the resistance system
Two different systems provide the resistance on (semi-)professional rowing machines. With the waterwheel system, a paddle rotates in a container filled with water as soon as the handle is pulled. If you fill more water into the container, the resistance increases. Incidentally, the rowing movement also creates a very pleasant splashing sound.
With the air resistance system, an air wheel is set in motion and accelerated again with each stroke. This technology creates a very fluid movement and gives the user the feeling of "gliding" into the preceding stroke, just like when rowing on water.
Optics and materials used
There are some real gems on the Rower market. Hardly any other training device is so attractively designed and the manufacturers use the highest quality materials. WaterRower manufactures its rowing machines from fine woods such as cherry and walnut, while First Degree Fitness uses elegant metal for the E520 Rower. This is purely a matter of personal preference.
The training computer
The computers on all rowing machines display basic data such as training time, current stroke rate and power, calories burned and distance rowed. The displays are large and easy to read. The distance to the display changes constantly during the rowing movement. Professional devices such as the WaterRower S1 made of polished stainless steel offer additional training programs and monitor the heart rate.
