Rowing Machine Ratings
In the world of rowing machines, three stand out: the
Concept 2, the Kettler Coach rowing machine, and the Bodycraft
VR100. Let’s take a look at these rowing machine
reviews in detail.
Originating in the US, the Concept 2 has grown in
popularity. A popular sport in Europe, this rowing machine has
been selling like hotcakes. Mainly utilized by sports
enthusiasts abroad, the Concept 2 is a high performance rowing
machine which encompasses features such as: a flywheel that has
been redesigned for a more quiet and wide range of resistance;
it has also been designed to simulate the ease with which one
can row on water; and it’s performance overall is outstanding.
The Concept 2 has been touted as not only unique, but one that
can be used by pros and beginners as well.
The Kettler Coach rowing machine is made in Germany, and is
also making a "splash" among rower enthusiasts. It is not only
durable but made of high quality components and also is quite
versatile. A great exercise machine, the Kettler Coach features
a padded board and allows you to work on the abs, arms, legs,
and back, as well as 16 other exercise functions. The Kettler
Coach comes with 10 levels of resistance; a performance
monitor, a display featuring a fitness test and pulse rate
monitor, total calories burned, distance, and number of
strokes.
The Bodycraft VR100 is both affordable and durable for home
use. Its unique design combines wind and magnetic resistance
which effectively produces desired results. Ergonomically
designed for comfort, the Bodycraft VR100 rowing machine
features the following: a display console which denotes the
distance, heart rate, number of calories burned, and strokes
per minute; it has a heart rate monitor which is built into the
console; and it is great for anyone of any size.
Whether you are new to rowing, or have been rowing for a
number of years; either of these rowing machines is perfect for
home use. While rowing is one of the top sports in Europe, it
is generally not an avid sport in the US. However, the benefits
of having a home rowing machine will not only afford you the
opportunity to exercise effectively, but incorporates strength
training as well.
While the Concept 2 is geared more for
experienced rowers, it is nonetheless a great exercise machine.
Priced from just $900, you can compare this to the
Kettler which is priced at $899 or the
Bodycraft, priced at $699.
Try them all and determine which of these rowing machines
suits your exercise routine and your overall capacity to handle
this type of equipment. Not only is an owing machine great for
exercising, but it’s a great stress reducer as well.
