FROM Flavio Holstein

You are thinking of moving to a Rowing machine but want to make sure you're making the right choice? A Professional rowing machine is not just a training device, but a real motivation that will take your fitness goals to a new level. Let's find out together why it's worth the investment, who it's suitable for and what you should look out for.

Why a professional rowing machine is worthwhile

The truth is: a good Rowing machine is an investment. But as with many things in life, you get what you pay for. While entry-level models often fulfil their purpose, especially if the rowing machine is only used occasionally, a professional rowing machine really shows what you're made of - in the long term.

 

High-quality materials, precise workmanship and advanced functions ensure that you not only train more effectively, but also have more fun doing it. And let's be honest: nothing is more frustrating than when a machine squeaks, doesn't run smoothly or simply doesn't offer the desired comfort. A professional rowing machine makes training an experience you won't want to miss.

For whom is a professional rowing machine the best choice?

A Professional rowing machine is ideal if you take your training seriously. Do you want to row at least 2-3 times a week to get fitter, healthier and maybe even a little more defined? Then you've come to the right place. Best of all, rowing trains over 85 % of muscle and combines endurance with strength training - making it one of the most efficient workouts around.

 

For those who only want to row from time to time, for example to warm up before weight training or sporadically after work, an entry-level model is often sufficient. However, the more often you train, the more a professional device pays off - both in terms of durability and training fun.

More motivation, more success

One of the biggest advantages of a professional rowing machine is the additional functions that sweeten your training. Just imagine: You row in your living room while watching your favourite series on the built-in screen. Or you can let a virtual trainer guide you through a motivating workout. Entertainment during training is not a luxury - it's the key to keeping you going.

 

A professional device like the AUGLETICS Eight Style offers exactly that: smart features that keep you going, even on days when the couch looks particularly tempting. And the best thing is that you not only get feedback on your technique, but can also track your progress in real time. This not only gives you a good feeling, but also shows you how far you've already come.

What do the rowing pros train with?

The answer to this is not as clear-cut as you might think. There are different devices that have been developed for different requirements.
In our video, Britta compares different rowing machines in detail and clearly to make it easier for you to decide on the right model.
Here is a brief overview:

  • Concept2The absolute standard equipment for indoor rowing competitions. Robust, powerful and perfect for those preparing for competitions. However, it is loud and does not have the most modern features.
  • RowperfectA dynamic rowing machine that reproduces the movement on the water very realistically. The disadvantage? It takes up a lot of space and is quite loud - not for the living room.
  • BiorowerWith two handles that enable circular movement, this appliance is a niche product for technology enthusiasts.
  • AUGLETICS Eight StylePerfect for home training. Quiet, smart and with entertainment options that add variety to your workout. If your goal is fitness rather than competition, this could be your first choice.

 

In short: For world records and competition goals, the Concept2 is unbeatable. However, if you are looking for a quiet, smart and modern professional rowing machine for your home gym, the AUGLETICS Eight Style worth considering.

What makes a professional rowing machine?

A Professional rowing machine stands out from entry-level models due to several factors:
 
  • Precision and resistance: The braking systems are of a higher quality and allow you to train evenly and adaptably. This is particularly important if you want to track your progress precisely.
  • Volume: Professional machines such as the AUGLETICS Eight Style are whisper-quiet - a blessing if you don't want the neighbours or your family to "hear" your workout.
  • Longevity: High-quality materials and workmanship ensure that you can enjoy your device for years to come.
  • Smart functions: Modern professional devices offer more than just a display - they integrate virtual trainers, entertainment options and detailed training analyses.

The AUGLETICS Eight Style: professional quality for the home gym

The AUGLETICS Eight Style is a rowing machine that has been specially developed for demanding users. It combines innovative technology with comfort and quiet operation, making it perfect for homes. With its magnetic brake, it allows you to train almost silently, while the integrated touchscreen provides you with entertainment and training feedback.

 

Thanks to its compact design, the device is easy to store - ideal if you don't have a separate fitness room. The combination of smart technology and high-quality workmanship makes the AUGLETICS Eight Style is a great choice for ambitious athletes who take their fitness seriously.
