Buy a rowing machine – for endurance, strength and full-body training
Rowing is one of the most effective forms of training ever, as it engages around 85 percent of the entire musculature and promotes the cardiovascular system, endurance and strength in equal measure. Whether you are looking for a rowing machine for your home gym, want to improve your personal fitness or burn calories: here you will find models that fit your available space, budget and training goal. Thanks to the gentle, joint-friendly movement, rowing machines are suitable for sports enthusiasts of all ages.
Rowing machines by resistance system
Air resistance rowing machines rely on a fan wheel and are considered particularly dynamic and sporty. Water resistance machines with an integrated water tank create a realistic rowing feel with a pleasant water sound. Magnetic resistance rowing machines operate almost silently and allow continuous adjustment – ideal for training in rented apartments or at late hours. Hydraulic rowing machines score with compact design and an attractive price-performance ratio and are particularly suitable for beginners with a limited budget.
Rowing machine for home – foldable and space-saving
Many modern rowing machines can be easily folded up or stored upright after training. This means they fit even in smaller apartments and find space in a corner of the room, behind the door or against the wall. Anyone who wants to set up a permanent training area will also find robust, stable machines with a long seat rail for particularly comfortable rowing.
Rowing machines are ideal for anyone looking for an efficient full-body workout – regardless of fitness level. Beginners benefit from the joint-friendly movement and consistent resistance, advanced users appreciate the intense load for endurance and strength endurance. As a complement to strength training, running or cycling, rowing machines also offer a welcome change in the training plan. Thanks to the compact and often foldable design, they are perfect for training in your own four walls.
Training Variety, Technique & Quality
Proper rowing technique is crucial for training success and prevents incorrect strain. Pay attention to a straight back, a flowing movement from the legs, torso and arms, and a controlled pace. High-quality rowing machines offer adjustable resistance and training computers that display time, distance, stroke rate and calorie consumption – so you can keep track of your progress at all times.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of rowing machines are there?▾
There are essentially four types: air resistance rowing machines with a fan for a dynamic, street-like rowing feel; water resistance rowing machines with a water tank for realistic, quiet rowing; magnetic resistance rowing machines for continuous, almost silent adjustment; and hydraulic rowing machines with pistons that are particularly compact and space-saving.
Which rowing machine is suitable for beginners?▾
For beginners, magnetic resistance and water resistance rowing machines are particularly well suited, as they offer consistent resistance and intuitive operation. Models with adjustable resistance and training computers help to gradually increase training and track progress.
What is the difference between air and water resistance?▾
Air resistance rowing machines generate resistance through a fan wheel – the harder and faster you pull, the higher the resistance. They are considered particularly sporty and dynamic. Water resistance machines use a water tank and realistically simulate the feeling of rowing on water with a natural water sound. Both systems offer an excellent training experience.
How much space does a rowing machine need?▾
Rowing machines are about 200 to 250 cm long and about 50 to 60 cm wide when set up. Many models can be stored upright to save space or have a folding mechanism so they can be placed in a corner or against a wall after training. The available space at home should be measured before purchasing.
Which muscles does a rowing machine train?▾
Rowing is an effective full-body workout that engages about 85 percent of the entire musculature. The focus is on legs, back, shoulders, arms and core muscles. The flowing movement trains both strength and endurance, while being gentle on the joints.
How often should you train on a rowing machine?▾
For beginners, two to three training sessions per week of 15 to 25 minutes each are ideal to gradually build up muscles and the cardiovascular system. Advanced users can do four to five sessions per week and vary between endurance and interval training. Regular recovery days and proper rowing technique are important.
Are rowing machines suitable for home use?▾
Yes, modern rowing machines are specifically designed for home training. They usually operate very quietly, many models can be folded up to save space, and they offer training computers with various programs. This makes them ideal for regular endurance training in your own four walls – regardless of weather and opening hours.
What should you look for when buying a rowing machine?▾
Important criteria are the resistance system (air, water, magnetic or hydraulic), the maximum load capacity, the build quality, the noise level, the space savings through a folding function and the scope of the training computer. The seat rail length is also relevant, especially for tall people. High-quality brands also offer good customer service and spare parts availability.
