Below are the terms commonly used in conjunction with rowing machines:

 

Bar/ Handle This is what you hold to work the rowing machine and is attached to a cable

 

Cable Attaches the handle and the frame of the rowing machine helping to create a rowing motion

 

Frame The structure of the rowing machine where all the parts are attached

 

Flywheel Helps create resistance on the rowing machine allowing for an easy or more challenging workout

 

Saddle/ seat Where you sit on the rowing machine.  It slides back and forth to allow a smooth rowing action

 

Console The main panel on front of the rowing machine where the controls are

 

Programmes Various pre-set workouts programmed into the rowing machine

 

Stoke One complete rowing motion – the pull and release

 

Tempo Number of strokes, usually measured in minutes e.g. 30 strokes/min

 

 

 

There are many types of rowing machines on the market.  Branx Fitness is here to guide and help its customers choose the right rowing machine.

 

 

Magnetic - This type of rowing machine is controlled by electromagnets and creates a very smooth rowing experience as if you were on water

Air - This type of rowing machine is great if you wish to be in control of your rowing workout.  As you increase the pace the resistance increases.

Water - This is very similar to air rowing machines, but the resistance and pressure levels can be adjusted by altering the water levels

 

To get the most out of your rowing machine and your workout, posture and correct technique for rowing is a must.  Not only does it help to avoid injury but also allows you to build up muscle tone equally, improving overall posture.  All rowing machines come with a correct technique guide. Our advice to you is to practise this rowing technique in front of a mirror or get someone to observe so that you get the feel for a perfect rowing posture.

 

Once you have chosen a rowing machine tailored for your needs, the next thing to consider is the delivery of your rowing machine. Branx Fitness can go above and beyond the delivery of your rowing machine compared to most other fitness equipment retailers.  Not only will Branx Fitness deliver your rowing machine to the room of your choice (safety permitting), but will also fully install the rowing machine for you.  This installation of the rowing machine is 

provided only using qualified and certified engineers. T&C apply.

 

Hopefully you now have all the information and knowledge to choose a rowing machine tailored for your personal needs.  The only thing left to recommend, is to consult your GP or medical advisor before starting a new fitness programme, 

and invest in a good pair of trainers.
