Why rowing is so good for you: full-body training for everyone

Rowing is much more than just "sitting and pulling" - it's an effective full-body workout that challenges the entire body. And the best thing? You don't even have to leave your home. An indoorRowing machine allows you to complete a challenging workout at any time. Whether you're just starting out with endurance training or are already an athlete, rowing will boost your fitness, strengthen your muscles and provide a wonderful mix of strength and endurance training.

Rowing uses around 85 % of the body's muscles, i.e. almost the entire body. It gives your arms, legs, stomach and back an intensive workout and burns a lot of calories at the same time. The movement is particularly easy on the joints - rowing is suitable for almost every fitness level and is often used in rehabilitation sports. The steady, rhythmic movements promote concentration and coordination and can even have an almost meditative effect. In short: rowing is the perfect combination of full-body training and relaxation - right in your own home.

Why a wooden rowing machine makes so much sense

Well, functionality is one thing - but who wants to have a device in their living room that looks like a fitness machine version of a science fiction film? The AUGLETICS Eight Style takes a completely different approach here: it combines performance and style in a unique way and makes a real statement with its oak frame. Especially for those who do not have a separate sports room, the look of a fitness machine is crucial. A wooden rowing machine blends in perfectly with the living room or bedroom and looks more like a stylish piece of furniture than just a piece of exercise equipment.
 

And the style does not go unnoticed: The AUGLETICS Eight Style was honoured with the Red Dot Design Award - one of the most coveted prizes for outstanding product design. A fitness machine that passes for decoration? Sounds unusual, but with the Eight Style it's a reality.

Wood as a sustainable power material: the oak wood of the AUGLETICS Eight Style

Wood is not only beautiful, but also sustainable - a material with many advantages, especially for a durable piece of equipment such as a rowing machine. The AUGLETICS Eight Style uses high-quality oak wood, which gives the appliance robust stability. Oak is a renewable raw material and biodegradable, which makes it particularly environmentally friendly. At AUGLETICS, we take care to work sustainably and reduce our ecological footprint. In this way, we contribute to climate protection and ensure that our appliances respect natural resources as much as possible.
 
The wood also makes the device unique, as each grain looks different - so your rowing machine is one of a kind. Oak is also extremely durable, making the Eight Style an investment that will give you many years of pleasure.

Easy to clean and durable: keeping your rowing machine as good as new

With the right care, wood requires little effort. With the AUGLETICS Eight Style the handle is made of lacquered wood, which makes it resistant to sweat and moisture. The rest of the frame is oiled, which means that the wood not only looks beautiful, but also remains natural. Oiled wood can be easily refreshed if necessary. A little care tip: After a few years, the wood can be treated with a suitable Care oil to preserve the natural shine and colour - similar to a valuable piece of furniture.

The AUGLETICS Eight Style: technology and design perfectly combined

The AUGLETICS Eight Style is not only a visual highlight, but also offers you all the technical features that a modern rowing machine needs. Thanks to the integrated Virtual Coach, you receive valuable feedback on your rowing technique in real time. With sensor-based feedback, the Virtual Coach analyses your movement sequence and helps you to row more efficiently and improve your technique at the same time.

Particularly practical: the AUGLETICS Eight Style can be folded up, which means you can stow it away after your workout to save space. So it takes up very little space and is always ready for your next workout. The large 15.6-inch touchscreen offers a user-friendly interface and various entertainment options such as YouTube, Netflix and Kinomap to add variety to your workout.

The difference to the AUGLETICS Eight Sport: Which suits you better?

While the AUGLETICS Eight Style is the premium model with its large screen, virtual coach and oak wood design, the AUGLETICS Eight Sport offers a more affordable version with a 10.1-inch touchscreen and robust aluminium construction. Both models enable intensive rowing training and are equally powerful, but the Style model goes one better both visually and technically. If you want to delve deeper into the details of the two variants, you can read our Comparison on the website or watch the video in which our Olympian Lars Wichert compares the models directly.
