What should you pay attention to when buying a rowing machine?

The right rowing machine can be different for everyone. Your choice depends on your training goals, your training level and your available space at home. In this blog we list a number of points for attention so that you can make the right choice.

What should I pay attention to when purchasing a rowing machine?

 

1 The basic conditions

Every rowing machine has a number of training programs and resistance levels. Do you want an extensive range of options to regularly adjust your workout or do you find a limited number of resistances and programs sufficient? The specifications often clearly describe how many programs and resistances a rowing machine has. Rowing machines with more options are often a bit more expensive.

3. Types of rails
You can choose between two types of rails for a rowing machine.
 
Single rail rowing machines
A rowing machine with a single rail – or monorail – - has one rail that the seat moves over when you row. If your balance isn't that good, there is a chance that you will wobble a bit.
 
A rowing machine with a double rail has two rails on which the seat slides back and forth. This gives you more stability and you train more comfortably.
