Quiet rowing machine: Your quiet training miracle for at home

A Rowing machine is not only an effective full-body workout, but also a real gym for your own four walls. But if you don't want to turn your home into a machine room, one thing is clear: your Rowing machine should be quiet. Because whether you're streaming a series, while the kids are asleep or simply for a stress-free workout - the volume is crucial. Let's find out together why the right rowing machine makes all the difference.

Why rowing machines have different noise levels

The volume of a rowing machine is largely determined by the braking system. There are four main types, which differ not only in terms of noise, but also in terms of the training experience.

Wind resistance
A classic among rowing machines, popular with competitive athletes and in gyms. The wind wheel provides infinitely variable resistance by drawing in air. But this propeller is loud - with 73 dB it sounds like a powerful fan. Imagine rowing with this device at home: your neighbours and flatmates could quickly start sweating - but not from the workout.
 
Water resistance
Water-braked devices such as the Waterrower simulate rowing on a lake. With a ripple of 67.5 dB the training feels pleasantly natural - as long as you don't live in a quiet flat with thin walls. The sound of the water can be disturbing, especially during more intensive sessions.
 
Magnetic brake
This is where it gets exciting: devices such as the AUGLETICS Eight Style use a Magnetic fieldto regulate the resistance silently. With only 51 dB they are among the quietest devices on the market. This system is not only whisper-quiet, but also maintenance-free - ideal for your home gym.
 
Hydraulics
Hydraulically braked devices such as the Row Shaper are with 48 dB also quiet. However, the rowing feeling is often rigid and not realistic. These devices are less suitable for serious, regular training.

Volume levels in comparison: the measurements from Britta's video

In their comparison video our expert Britta measures the volume of the various braking systems during normal, relaxed rowing. The results speak for themselves:

In her video, Britta not only shows the volume, but also explains the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of rowing machine. She also discusses the differences in the training experience, maintenance and flexibility - perfect for making an informed decision.

Why a quiet rowing machine is ideal for the home

A quiet Rowing machine is more than just a technical gadget. It ensures that your training fits smoothly into your everyday life. Here are three good reasons why you should pay attention to the volume

Multitasking during training

A quiet device allows you to listen to music or stream your favourite series without having to turn up the volume. This not only makes training more effective, but also more entertaining.

Consideration for flatmates and neighbours

Whether you live in a flat with thin walls or in a house with a family - a quiet appliance like the AUGLETICS Eight Style ensures harmonious coexistence. You can even train late at night or early in the morning without disturbing anyone.

Relaxed focus

The rhythmic movement of rowing has a calming effect - but only if you are not distracted by loud noises. A quiet device helps you to get into the flow and enjoy your workout.

How does a magnetic rudder device work?

In the video, Flavio, founder of AUGLETICS, explains how the magnetic braking system works and what advantages it offers. He also gives an exciting insight into the production of rowing machines in Germany.
 
What makes magnetic brakes so special?
Magnetic rudders work without moving parts such as propellers or blades. Instead, the resistance is generated by a magnetic field that acts on an aluminium flywheel. The result: no friction, no noise, no maintenance.
 
Dynamic training
The AUGLETICS Eight Style adjusts the resistance electronically - even during the rowing stroke. This creates a realistic rowing sensation that appeals to beginners and professionals alike. Regardless of whether you want to row casually or complete a strength programme, the magnetic brake makes it possible.
Watch the video and find out why this system is the future of quiet rowing training.
