Compare rowing machine types

  • Air rowers: Compare fan resistance, damper controls where fitted and console features. Consider fan noise when choosing where to train.
  • Water rowers: Check the water tank care instructions, resistance guidance and storage requirements for the model.
  • Magnetic rowers: Compare the available resistance settings and whether adjustments are manual or electronic.

Some models combine resistance systems. Read the individual product specifications to confirm how the rower works and which adjustments it offers.

What to check before buying a rowing machine

  • User fit: Check maximum user weight, any stated height limits, rail travel and foot support.
  • Floor space: Measure the operating footprint and allow the clearance recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Storage: Confirm whether the model folds, separates or can be stored upright. Use only the storage method specified for that rower.
  • Console: Compare the metrics, workout programs and connectivity listed for each model.
  • Usage and warranty: Confirm whether the rower and its warranty suit home, studio or commercial use.

Rowing machine buying questions

Which rowing machine is right for a home gym?

Start with your available space, preferred resistance controls and how often you plan to train. Compare noise, storage options and user fit before choosing a model.

Can a home rower be used in a commercial gym?

Check the manufacturer's usage rating and warranty before buying for a shared facility. A home use warranty should not be assumed to cover commercial use.

What should I check about delivery and assembly?

Confirm stock or preorder status, delivery options for your postcode, package dimensions and assembly requirements. Measure the delivery route as well as the final training space.
