Rowing Machines

Low impact, high intensity training on the schedule? Fitness fans, meet the rowing machine.

The rowing machine’s total-body training capabilities are understated—not enough trainers appreciate just how powerful the rower is, not just for its cardio prowess either! The rowing machine gets your heart pumping, yes, but it’s also super-effective at increasing your endurance and stamina, strengthening your muscles and even improving your posture.

What things should you consider when it comes to choosing your rowing machine? Take note of the dimensions of the rowing machine (you don’t want to find it’s too big for your space!), the length of the seat rail (taller users might prefer a longer rail) and whether the rower connects to any of your favourite apps.

Don’t forget, rowing machines can often be stood up vertically to save space when you’re not using them, or in some cases can even split in two for a storage solution that’s even more compact.
