Marcy Water Rowing Machine NS-6070RW | Limitless Resistance

Categories Rowers 8 Comments

The Marcy Water Rowing Machine NS-6070RW highlights an entirely durable steel tubing frame. Its sliding rail has a maximum user weight limit of up to 300 lbs (136 kg), comparable to other models. However, the assembled rower is genuinely enormous, particularly the length. It is approximately 78.75″ (200 cm) long and 22″ (56 cm) wide, so it may not fit well in a small room.

The NS-6070RW features a rugged polycarbonate 6-level water tank with a 16-blade impeller of rock-solid ABS material. As a result, the machine’s resistance is straightforward. However, the resistance relies upon the speed of the impeller. So, the faster you pull the handle, the impeller turns quicker and creates more resistance.

The Marcy Water Rowing Machine NS-6070RW has a mid-range fitness monitor that tracks time, time/500m, distance, strokes per minute (SPM), total strokes, calories, and pulse. You will need a 5.3 kHz HR chest strap. Unfortunately, this accessory does not come with the rowing machine. In addition, the monitor has two workout programs to keep you motivated.

The NS-6070W comes equipped with a seat contoured for optimal comfort. Its top is high-density foam; it is firm, however, not incredibly hard. This Marcy rower has non-adjustable footrests made of thick, strong ABS material. The pulling handle features an ergonomic design. It is urethane-covered for an improved grip and attached to an abrasion-resistant nylon strap.

Categories Rowers 8 Comments

The XTERRA ERG650W Rowing Machine will help you get the most out of your training. I was also impressed by the build quality. The heavy-duty dual aluminum covered rails provide a quiet, smooth, and efficient workout while withstanding a lifetime of regular use. This machine has a maximum user weight limit of up to 350 pounds (159 kg).

Its core is a water tank and a durable, multi-bladed impeller to give you the most effective workout possible. With this in mind, XTERRA took that idea further and angled the tank at 45 degrees for an increased resistance range. As a result, the ERG650W water tank provides an authentic rowing feel and soothing sound.

The XTERRA ERG650W has a large 5.5″ fitness monitor that tracks the usual workout data you would expect, including time, distance, stroke rate, and pulse. The rower also includes 15 workout programs to keep you engaged, no matter your goals. There are programs to track your strokes, target calories, distance, and more. You can even race against the monitor to see who wins.

The seat is comfortable and slides smoothly and quietly up and down the angled rails. The seat is also 15″ off the floor, which gives it the feel of a commercial machine and makes it easy to get on and off. Your feet are held securely in place with wide footrests and thick bands. And lastly, the handle has a suitable diameter, is well-padded, and sits nicely in the hands.

Categories Rowers 4 Comments

Using the same principles that govern a boat’s water dynamics, the WaterRower M1 LoRise Rowing Machine provides an unlimited range of resistance, making it suitable for various strengths and skill levels. The faster you move, the higher the drag and the greater the intensity of exercise required to maintain your speed in a boat.

The benefit of a water resistance rower is that it most closely simulates a boat moving through water. The WaterRower M1 LoRise’s patented WaterFlywheel emulates this naturally self-paced benefit of rowing. This is a workout you can start benefitting from immediately, regardless of experience!

The Series 4 Performance Monitor balances technical sophistication with user-friendliness. The S4 Monitor tracks m/s (meters per second), distance, time, total strokes, stroke rate, mph (mile per hour), /500m (time per 500 meters), /2km (time per 2 kilometers), watts, heart rate (with optional HR chest strap) and Kcalories per hour.

The handle of the WaterRower M1 LoRise is made of aluminum for strength and lightness, with a tear-drop shape that fits comfortably into the palm to minimize wrist torque. The drive strap of the WaterRower M1 LoRise is high-density polyester webbing guided by nylon pulleys. As a result, the drive strap is not worn and maintenance-free, requiring no messy lubrication.

Categories Rowers 3 Comments

The Stamina X Water Rower is a compact rowing machine that uses water resistance to simulate the feel of actual rowing. Unlike other full-sized water rowers, it places the water wheel below the rower instead of on end to save space.

Dynamic water resistance on the Stamina X Water Rower simulates the feeling of real-world rowing. The smooth motion of this type of resistance provides a great full-body workout. Suppose you want to increase the resistance; row harder. Ease off, and the resistance will ease with you. You can add or remove water from the tank to change the baseline resistance.

For tracking your progress, the Stamina X Water Rower features a multi-function fitness monitor that tracks calories burned, time, stroke count, and distance during your workout. Use the scan mode to cycle through each of these metrics. In addition, the included wireless HR chest strap transmitter allows you to monitor your pulse.

Rowing is a practical, low-impact, total-body workout that builds strength and endurance, burns calories fast, provides effective cardiovascular exercise, helps reduce stress, and is relatively easy to do. So. if you have minimal space to devote to a traditional long rowing machine, check out this cool new Stamina X Water Rower.

WaterRower Natural Rowing Machine | Smooth, Natural, and Quiet

Categories Rowers 7 Comments

The WaterRower Natural Rowing Machine with S4 Monitor is one of the most aesthetically pleasing rowers on the market. It is also one of the best-performing ones! It is part of the “Natural” series of WaterRowers, due to its solid Ash Wood and stained Honey Oak construction material.

It uses a “water flywheel” or paddles suspended in a water tank to provide the rower’s resistance. Therefore, this is called ‘variable’ resistance because there are no “adjustments” to feel more resistance, row faster, and feel less resistance, row slower.

In addition to determining resistance based on your rowing intensity, you can further adjust the rowing experience by adding or subtracting water from the water tank. The more water you add, the “heavier” the rowing will feel (like rowing a boat with passengers). The less water you have, the “lighter” the rowing will feel (like rowing by yourself).

The WaterRower Natural Rowing Machine provides one of the best resistance any water rowing machine offers. Therefore, it is difficult to find any complaints about WaterRower resistance. It is smooth, durable, and relatively quiet. Plus, it closely mimics the resistance felt while rowing on the water!
