Guides

When you're doing it right, rowing is a full-body workout that engages more than 80% of your muscles. It's commonly said that rowing is about 60% legs, 20% core, and 20% arms, so if you're muscling it with arm strength alone, you're doing it wrong and putting yourself at risk of injury. The Aviron Strong maintains the high seat and smooth feel of its more affordable sibling, the Impact Series, while offering a few additional perks, including adjustable foot width support, a lower frame so it's easier to get on and off, a higher rider weight limit, and a rotating display. Most rowing machines let you adjust the foot pad length, but the width is typically fixed. The Aviron Strong is the only rowing machine with a built-in mechanism that lets you customize the width between your feet for optimal comfort and range of motion. It otherwise offers the same excellent suite of interactive features as the Impact, including immersive games and competitions, video streaming services, coached workouts, unguided scenic rows, and more. Who It's ForNo rowing ergometer can truly replicate the experience of being on the water, but the Ergatta comes close. With a handsome cherry wood frame and a clear water tank, it's easily the best-looking rowing machine on the market, and it makes a relaxing swooshing sound. This water resistance rower features a dual-rail design and a 17.3-inch touch screen on which you can browse and play gaming- and racing-inspired workouts that are personalized for your fitness level. Who It's For The Ergatta is best for those who would rather play a fitness game or join a race than take a workout class. It doesn't offer trainer-led classes or floor-based workouts, but it's a solid option if you're motivated by competition and value aesthetics. It measures 86 by 23 by 40 inches (LWH), weighs 76.5 pounds without water (and around 103 pounds with water), and supports users up to 6 foot 8 inches tall (with a 40-inch maximum inseam) and up to 500 pounds. This means that even if you're short on time, you know you'll be getting a brilliant full-body workout.’ Benefits of Rowing Machines The Aviron Impact is a top choice for those in search of a rowing machine with a variety of entertainment options to combat boredom. Aviron's membership includes a limited selection of coached workouts, but gaming is the focus of the platform vs. trainer-led classes. The Impact Series measures 95 by 21 by 43 inches (LWH) and weights 97 pounds. It's meant for riders up to 6 feet 7 inches tall, with a 38-inch inseam, weighing up to 397 pounds. We recommend this model for most buyers over the more expensive Strong, which is a bit more comfortable thanks to its four-way adjustable foot carriage. Many upright stored rowing machines are wooden and designed to aesthetically fit into the home environment, so you don’t have to create a designated gym space in your home to get the most out of your cardio workout.

If the original Hydrow rower is out of your budget or too big for your workout space, you might be interested in the Wave. This model measures 80 by 19 by 43 inches (LWH), weighs 102 pounds, and is recommended for riders up to 375 pounds with a maximum 36-inch inseam. If you do then find that Reebok ZJET Rowing Machine isn’t exactly as you thought it would be, you can easily return it. Pace, also called split time, typically indicates how long it would take you to row 500 meters. In other words, a 2:00/500m split time means it would take you two minutes to row 500 meters at your current pace. Just like when you're running a mile for time, the lower your rowing split, the better. This will vary person-to-person, but beginners may want to shoot for a sub-3:00 split, and work towards decreasing it over time. The fastest 500m split times on record are around 1:10 for a man and 1:24 for a woman. To lower your split, you must increase your intensity (push harder with your legs), but increasing your stroke rate can also help. Hydrow WaveThe 19 pre-installed programs are a huge bonus, but the console could benefit from a re-think as it isn’t the most intuitive to use. Everything considered it is a good rower from a trusted brand, but is it a good value for money versus its competitors? Let’s take a look… First Impressions At the end of each workout, you receive a Form Rating score out of 100% based on your performance. Peloton also gives you a score out of 100% for each phase of the rowing stroke, so you can see which parts you need to improve on. In your workout history, Peloton offers a detailed form report for each rowing class you have taken, with a breakdown of your errors and tips to improve. Water rowing machines use a drum that's full of water and resistance is created by paddles that turn as you row,’ adds Sharma. ‘They offer a smooth rowing motion and they're also a good option for quiet workouts.’ Air Rowing Machines As for the hardware, you get a nice smooth motion with the long rail and the 6kg flywheel. It shouldn’t be hard o find a rhythm and enjoy the session.
