There are a variety of Rowing machines on the market, in wide price ranges. In order not to lose the overview, we bring light into the darkness.

Lars Wichert, two-time Olympian, three-time world champion and world record holder on the rowing ergometer, presents the most popular machines on the current market and highlights the advantages and disadvantages of the different machines. Together with AUGLETICS, he illustrates the differences between water-braked rowing machines (Waterrower, Cardiostrong, Life Fitness, Kettler, First Degree), wind-braked rowing ergometers (Concept2, Taurus, Technogym, Duke Fitness etc.) and magnet-braked rowing machines (Matrix). The AUGLETICS Eight Style, which is braked by an electronically controlled magnetic resistance, serves as a benchmark. Lars explains why you should see the machine as an investment in your own body and how to maintain long-term motivation.

If you would like more information, we recommend the Comparison brochure by AUGLETICS founder Flavio Holstein, in which the different types of device are discussed in detail.
