Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best rowing machine for home use UK?

The Concept2 RowErg is the gold standard used in gyms worldwide. For budget buyers, the JLL R200 offers great value. Water rowers like the Joroto MR280 provide a quieter, authentic feel.

Is a rowing machine better than a treadmill?

Rowing works 86% of your muscles (full body) vs treadmills which focus on lower body. Rowers are also lower impact on joints and take up less space when stored vertically.

Air rower vs magnetic rower - which is better?

Air rowers (like Concept2) feel more natural and are used in competitions. Magnetic rowers are significantly quieter - better for flats and shared homes.
