What you need to know about cheap vs expensive rowing machines
When it comes to cheap vs expensive rowing machines, what are the main differences and do you need to spend a fortune to get a decent workout?
“Done with correct technique, it’s a low-impact, whole body exercise that’s suitable for all age groups and fitness levels. Although it’s primarily a push sport, using the big muscles of the legs and buttocks, particularly the quads and glutes, it also tones and strengthens the core, back, shoulders and arms.”
Personal trainer and rower Greg Small says: “The resistance of the machine will depend on how well the user maintains it.” As the rowing coach Morgan says: “There’s a reason why rowing clubs and gyms all over the world have Concept 2 RowErgs . These are also the machines used for in-person and virtual national and international competitions. Cheaper brands aren’t robust enough or sufficiently adjustable and programmable.
Morgan says: “You can pay thousands for machines with built-in TV screens and class subscriptions but this is unnecessary. If you don’t want to row alone, online gyms, such as the one I use – PowerRowing.com – offer reasonably priced Zoom workouts that you can join on your phone or tablet, while the excellent ZoomErgos.com runs classes led by rowing celebrities, including former Olympians, on a donation basis.
