Rowing Machines are probably the most physically demanding of all
fitness equipment. They say to become a good rower you need big
hands and feet. Well you don't need this anatomy to use a rowing
machine for basic fitness exercises. However before buying one you
should realise this is an intensive sport, and you should be careful
before using challenging settings. Some of the main brands for rowing
machines are,
- Reebok
- York
- Beny
- Body Sculpture
- Horizon
- Tunturi
Things you should look for are,
- Flywheels for a smooth magnetic and air resistance system.
- About 8 resistance settings.
- Large steel footplates.
- Heavy duty pivoting
- Adjustable footstraps.
- Retracting seat track.
- LCD computer display.

The good points are it's easy to put togther and generally well
designed and built. One major downside is the seat, there is not
enough padding and it starts to get rather uncomfortable when rowing
for a prolong period. I am afraid the seat is an essential part
of any rowing machine, and this is a major letdown for me. After
a few months of use the grips on the handle are also tending to
slide off during use. The LCD functions and timing are perfect and
the running of the machine is smooth and quiet. Overall a well designed
rowing machine, if letdown by a few faults.
