| Max user weight | 180 kg |
Boutique studios and 24/7 franchises fitting out a rowing station get an 8 kg flywheel with hybrid air/magnetic resistance across 16 levels, holding users up to 180 kg. The Kevlar belt drive keeps stroke delivery quiet and consistent through back-to-back member sessions.
It suits light commercial floors that need a serviceable rower with a folding aluminium rail and heavy-duty transport wheels, so staff can reset the space quickly. The 131 x 67 mm dual-colour LCD tracks 11 stats and runs 20 programs, backed by a lifetime frame warranty.
What stands out is the 2330 mm aluminium rail folding for storage: rare on a light-commercial rower rated to 180 kg users. The Kevlar belt drive runs quiet and smooth stroke after stroke.
The 8 kg flywheel favours steady rowing and technique work over flat-out sprint intervals, so brief high-power users. The wireless heart rate receiver lets you add a chest strap for accurate HRC training zones.
Adela Ledvinkova · Bachelor of Exercise & Sport Science · Our In-House Fitness Coach
This is a light commercial rower built for shared use in studios, hotel gyms, physio clinics and serious home setups. It combines hybrid air/magnetic resistance with a Kevlar belt drive and a folding aluminium rail, so it holds up to repeat sessions without dominating the floor.
In my coaching career I look for rowers that feel consistent stroke after stroke and survive multiple users, and the LC-RW is aimed squarely at that brief.
What this means for you: For an operator, that means a rower that copes with back-to-back members while staying easy to move and store between sessions.
The hybrid air/magnetic system gives you air resistance that responds to how hard you pull, layered over magnetic control across 16 settings. That combination keeps the machine quiet under load, which matters in shared spaces like apartment gyms and clinic floors.
In practice, the harder you drive the stroke, the more the air resistance pushes back, so intensity scales with effort rather than a fixed feel.
What this means for you: For a gym near sleeping quarters or consulting rooms, the low noise is the detail I'd stake the recommendation on.
The 8 kg flywheel carries momentum through the stroke, so the catch and recovery feel smooth rather than jerky. The Kevlar belt drive replaces a chain, which means quieter running and far less routine maintenance for whoever manages the equipment.
Hands-on, a belt drive like this feels connected from the first pull, without the slack you sometimes get before the flywheel picks up.
What this means for you: For a busy floor, less servicing and a consistent stroke are exactly where this rower earns its keep.
The 131 x 67 mm dual-colour backlit LCD is large enough to read mid-stroke, and it carries 20 programs to keep repeat users engaged. That mix covers manual rowing, structured presets, heart-rate control, a race mode and a recovery function.
For an operator, variety on the console is what keeps members coming back to the same machine rather than getting bored after a fortnight.
The console tracks 11 stats, so a member can train by the numbers that actually matter for rowing. Alongside the basics you get watts, 500 m split, strokes per minute and a recovery reading, which is the data serious rowers and coaches want.
When I'm coaching pacing, watts and the 500 m split are the two figures I keep people watching, and both are on this display.
What this means for you: For a clinic or studio running structured sessions, watts and split pace let a coach prescribe and repeat intensity accurately.
The large moulded seat and adjustable foot plates matter most when many different bodies use the same machine every day. The foot plates adjust to fit a range of shoe sizes, and the moulded seat keeps you settled through longer sessions.
Comfort is what determines whether a member stays on the rower for twenty minutes or gives up at five, so it directly affects how much the machine gets used.
What this means for you: In a multi-user setting, an adjustable, comfortable setup helps with a clean, sustainable rowing position across your members.
The aluminium rail folds vertically, which cuts the floor space the rower takes when it is not in use. Paired with heavy-duty transport wheels, one staff member can tilt, roll and store it against a wall between classes.
For a fit-out where floor space flexes between rowing, mat work and free weights, being able to fold and move it quickly is a genuine advantage.
What this means for you: For studios and serviced apartments tight on space, the fold-and-roll design is often what makes a rower workable at all.
The 180 kg maximum user weight and extra-thick aluminium rail with ultra-strong welds are what let York rate this rower for light commercial use. It is built to take repeat sessions from a broad range of members rather than one careful owner.
The lifetime frame warranty backs that build, with a 12 month parts warranty on the moving components.
What this means for you: For an operator, a lifetime frame warranty signals York expects the chassis to outlast the fit-out it goes into.
Assembly is a one-person job, so you do not need to book two staff or an installer to get it running. Follow the supplied manual for your first build to get the rail, seat and foot plates set correctly.
At 45 kg net it is manageable to reposition once assembled, and the transport wheels handle the rest.
What this means for you: For a smaller site without an in-house maintenance team, a straightforward single-person build keeps setup simple. Contact us to request a quote for bulk or fleet orders and installation.

Effort: a one-person job, see manual for a first build.
It ships as a single boxed unit, gross weight 49.5 kg, on standard freight Australia-wide with live tracking once it leaves the warehouse. For multiple units or a full fit-out, ask us about fleet freight and depot delivery. On the day, check the carton before you sign, and keep the packaging until you've confirmed everything's intact.
Take photos before unpacking and send them to support@cardioonline.com.au within 48 hours of delivery. We lodge the freight claim, organise replacement parts or a full unit, and stay across it until you're rowing. You don't chase the courier or York directly, that's our job. For multi-unit orders we track each carton so nothing slips through.
Yes, it's a one-person job. The rail, seat, foot plates and console attach with the supplied hardware, and the manual walks you through a first build step by step. Budget around 30 to 45 minutes for your first unit, less once you've done one. For a gym floor rollout, we can talk installation options so your team isn't building a fleet by hand.
The frame carries a lifetime warranty and parts are covered for 12 months, handled locally by us rather than an overseas manufacturer. A lifetime frame warranty tells you York expects the extra-thick aluminium rail and welds to outlast heavy multi-user duty. That's the spec I'd stake the recommendation on for a light commercial site.
Assembled it's 233 cm long, 56.5 cm wide and 102 cm tall, so allow the full length plus room to slide out behind you. The aluminium rail folds, which shrinks the footprint between sessions, useful in studios or serviced apartments where floor space turns over. Heavy-duty transport wheels let one person reposition it without lifting the 45 kg frame.
The maximum user weight is 180 kg, and the Light Commercial rating means it's built for continuous multi-user duty: 24/7 gyms, hotels, apartments, physio clinics and studios. Serious home users get the same durability. It suits everyone from first-time rowers to experienced members. The wrong fit is genuinely casual, occasional use where a lighter machine would do.
The 8 kg flywheel with Kevlar belt drive gives a smooth, quiet pull, and the air component means resistance builds with how hard you row, so it self-scales to the member. On top, 16 magnetic levels set a firm floor for the effort. In practice it feels controlled and consistent across a mixed membership, which is what you want on a shared floor.
No. The 131 x 67 mm dual-colour backlit LCD runs all 20 programs on its own, including Manual, 12 preset workouts, 4 heart-rate control, Race, User and Recovery, and tracks 11 stats like watts, 500 m split, SPM and calories. Heart rate reads via a chest strap, sold separately, through the wireless receiver. Pair one for accurate HR zones and the HRC programs.
