Efitment Aero Rowing Machine RW036 | Infinite Air Resistance

Categories Rowers 6 Comments

Add progressive air resistance to your next in-home workout with the Efitment Aero Rowing Machine RW036. Maintain optimal stability when you strap your feet onto the large footplates. Slide easily on the durable 51-inch steel slide rail that supports a maximum user weight limit of up to 245 pounds.

Engage the RW036 with the smooth, maintenance-free belt-drive mechanism to activate the progressive fan resistance. In addition, this rower’s resistance is dynamic. Therefore, the harder you pull with progressive air resistance, the more resistance you’ll feel on this rowing machine.

The Efitment Aero Rowing Machine RW036 comes with an onboard digital fitness monitor. Track your time, stroke count, calories burned, and strokes per minute (SPM) with the easy-to-use digital display during your full-body cardio workout. Unfortunately, it does not have a pulse reading function. So, if you require pulse monitoring, use a separate device such as the Wahoo TICKR FIT Heart Rate Monitor.

The RW036 features a wide contoured seat for added comfort while you glide on the slide rail. Slide your feet onto the ergonomic foot pedals with adjustable straps to maintain maximum stability as you row. Grasp the pulling handle and pull your arms toward your body while extending your legs for a rhythmic motion.

Stamina X Air Rower 35-1412 | Perfect for High-Intensity Training

Categories Rowers 8 Comments

The sleek and attractive Stamina X Air Rower is a basic yet durable rowing machine perfect for home gyms. Stamina’s engineers have designed the Stamina X Air Rower just like you: sturdy and durable. The steel frame will hold steady during your most demanding workouts. Simultaneously, the rowing chain keeps the air resistance coming as the fan spins inside the metal housing, automatically adjusting the resistance to your intensity.

Being an air-resistant rower means the rowing machine has ‘variable resistance.’ There is no knob to turn to increase or decrease resistance; instead, the resistance adjusts automatically depending on the speed you row. So, for example, the harder you pull the handle, the more resistance you feel, and to decrease the resistance, row slower.

For instance, the faster you get the flywheel spinning, the more wind resistance you create, the more watts you produce, and the more calories you burn. Due to the Stamina X Air Rower being air resistance, it works exceptionally well for HIIT exercises (high-intensity interval training). You can speed up or slow down during a workout without stopping and adjusting the resistance.

The Stamina X Air Rower has a large LCD multi-function fitness monitor that will help track your progress with real-time feedback. The monitor tracks vital measurements such as Distance, Calories Burned, Speed, Time, Number of Strokes (Count), and Strokes per Minute (SPM).

Stamina Elite WAVE Water Rowing Machine | Emulates Rowing

Categories Rowers 9 Comments

Instead of air or hydraulic resistance, the Stamina Elite WAVE Water Rowing Machine 1450 emulates actual rowing with natural water resistance. Different stroke speeds and intensities vary in water motion, resulting in natural water resonance.

A spinning flywheel provides resistance in the water tank, which means the harder you row, the more resistance you’ll feel. You can raise your work rate further by adding more water (siphon included). The tank has ten levels marked; however, you will invalidate the warranty if you fill above level 10.

The Stamina Elite WAVE Water Rowing Machine 1450 features an LCD fitness monitor displaying all the usual data you’d expect to find. In addition, this model Includes an HR chest strap that displays your pulse on-screen – unfortunately, there are no heart rate programs. Instead, you can pre-set targets such as the distance you want to row, the time you want to row, or the stroke counts or calories you want to reach.

The rowing position is comfortable, thanks to a wide-padded seat. Thanks to the rollers beneath, the seat slides smoothly and quietly up and down the solid steel beam. Your feet would fit comfortably in the wide footrests – they also tilt like all footrests should for a smooth and comfortable ride.
