Rowing machines are great for cardio training, strength training and a full body workout. The exercise is virtually no impact making it a joint friendly workout. The classic, rugged art of rowing ranks second only to swimming as a total-body workout — and rowing machines cost a whole lot less than swimming pools or beachfront property. They're built to fit in your home, they don't cost a penny to operate, and people of any age can hop on and use them without any training at all. Rowing machines come in four basic categories, defined by resistance type: piston, magnetic, air, or water. All types offer the same workout benefits — more defined musculature, improved cardio health — but each has its own niche and its own devoted following. Which kind of resistance do you prefer? PISTON resistance uses hydraulic cylinders attached to dual arms. Piston models are the smallest and least expensive options — they provide a great intro to rowing and its benefits without making a lot of demands on your space or budget. They're compact, quiet, and the only rowing machines that can work each arm at a different resistance. The big drawbacks: they're not as smooth as the other types, and their rowing simulation is least like the real thing. For this reason, WE DO NOT CARRY ANY PISTON DRIVEN ROWING MACHINES. MAGNETIC resistance — as found in many exercise bikes and elliptical trainers — uses powerful electromagnets to provide a variable system of resistance. Like piston machines, magnetic rowing machines are virtually silent; they're also longer and smoother, which allows fuller, more fluid extension. The variable resistance settings are ideal for those seeking specific workouts; many magnetic rowers offer versatile monitors that give you custom-fit workout options. Serious rowers in training, however, will prefer air or water resistance, both of which are controlled entirely by stroke rate. AIR resistance uses a fan to create resistance — which means it responds to your pace, increasing resistance according to your stroke rate for a great simulation of real rowing. Air models are longer than piston models; they provide more full extension and take up more space, although some fold for easy storage. The fan, while cooling for users, makes air rowers far and away the loudest option. WATER resistance rowing machines are similar to air rowers in their mechanism. They accurately emulate real rowing; resistance increases according to your pace. Water rowing machines allow you to increase or decrease the pressure by changing the amount of water in the resistance tank. They're not nearly as noisy as air resistance machines, but they're louder than magnetic and piston options. They're the heaviest — and generally most expensive — rowing machines; they're also the most aesthetic models and offer the highest maximum user weights. AIR/ MAGNETIC combo rowers work on air on low levels and move to magnetic as stroke rate increases. Other considerations when shopping for a rowing machine.... Do you have the space? Does the machine need to fold or breakdown when not in use? Noise level? If there is noise when you exercise, will it bother you or anyone around you? Motivation? Do you need programs on the machine to keep you going? The machines we offer ...
