Magnetic Rowing Machines


Magnetic rowing machines work by varying the distance between strong magnets and the spinning flywheel. Resistance levels are adjusted using either mechanical sliders or digitally by the console controls. Magnetic rowers often give a smooth rowing action and as mentioned earlier are very quiet.

Advantages of Magnetic Rowing Machines
  • Very quiet in operation (some are almost silent)

  • Wide range of resistance levels

  • Usually smaller than air or water rowers

  • Little maintenance required.

Disadvantages of Magnetic Rowers
  • They don't simulate rowing on water (not a problem if you just want a workout)

If you are looking for a low-impact workout that is still challenging, a magnetic rowing machine is a great option. And because they are relatively quiet and low maintenance, they are an excellent choice for homes.

Folding Rowing Machines


Rowing machines come in two varieties: folding and non-folding. Both have their pros and cons, but which one is the best for you? Here’s a look at the differences between them:

Rowers with a foldable design are great for home gyms and apartments because they fold up easily. This means that you can store them in a closet or under a bed when you’re not using them. They also don’t take up very much space, so you can use them even if you have a small home gym.

They’re also usually more affordable than their non-folding counterparts. However, folding rowing machines can be less stable than non-folding models, and they may not offer as wide a range of resistance levels. If you have the space for a non-folding machine, it may be the better option for you.
