Rowing machine buying guide

A rowing machine works your legs, back, core and arms in every stroke, making it one of the most complete low-impact cardio workouts you can do at home. Our range covers the three main types of rower: magnetic, air and water.

Magnetic, air or water rower?

  • Magnetic rower – magnets control the resistance, so it is the quietest type. A good choice for apartments, early mornings and shared spaces.
  • Air rower – a fan flywheel gives resistance that rises the harder you pull, like rowing on the water. Popular for high-intensity training; ours adds app connectivity and a 200kg user rating.
  • Water rower – paddles move through a tank of water, giving a smooth, natural stroke and a relaxing swoosh. Add or remove water to change the resistance.

What to check before you buy

  • Space – rowers are around 2–2.4m long, so allow room at both ends for the full stroke.
  • Noise – magnetic is the quietest, water makes a gentle whoosh and air is the loudest at high effort.
  • Max user weight – ranges from 135kg to 200kg across our range.
  • Floor protection – a gym equipment mat stops the rower sliding and protects your floor.

Rowing machine FAQs

What muscles does a rowing machine work?

Rowing works your legs, glutes, back, shoulders, arms and core. Most of the power in each stroke comes from your legs, so push with your legs first, then lean back and pull.

Is rowing good cardio?

Yes. Rowing raises your heart rate quickly while being gentle on your joints, and because it uses so many muscles it builds strength and endurance at the same time.

Which rowing machine is quietest?

A magnetic rower. There is no fan or water, just the smooth sound of the seat and flywheel, which makes it ideal for apartments.
