What's the Attraction of Indoor Rowers?


What's the attraction of indoor rowers? Could it be the magnet-based rowing machines? Kidding aside, rowers that use the magnetic brake resistance system are among the quietest and smoothest rowers you'll ever find.

The Kettler HKS Coach LS is our top pick for magnetic resistance rowers. It is German-engineered, so powerfully built that it has a lifetime warranty on its frame! Well-muscled individuals can best appreciate the strength of this machine. Its maximum user weight capacity is 285 lbs. The center oar pull works out the upper body to the max on 10 easily adjustable resistance levels that mimic real-life changing water conditions. The quick-attach backboard and footplate add 16 more exercises for general strength training. These footplates are bio-mechanically designed to prevent ankle and knee strains. The polar wireless transmitter provides you hands-free pulse and heart rate monitoring.

You'll want to view the rest of the Kettler rowing machines to fully appreciate the solid craftsmanship of German engineering. Kettler also manufactures other resistance rowers such as the piston type Kettler Favorit and the hydraulic Kettler Kadett Outrigger.
