FAQ
How do air, magnetic, and water rowers differ?
Air rowers automatically scale resistance with your effort and feel most “on‑water,” but they’re louder than magnetic rowers; water rowers offer a smooth, fluid feel with a distinctive sound. REP Fitness offers proven air rowers like the Concept2 RowErg for responsive resistance and accurate performance data.
What’s the difference between standard and tall seat heights on a rower?
Standard legs place the seat around 14" high, while tall legs raise it to about 20" for easier on/off access. Choose tall if you prefer a higher seat for mobility or comfort; otherwise, standard suits most users.
Will a rowing machine fit my space, and how is it stored?
A typical air rower like the RowErg is about 96" long by 24" wide and fits well in most home gyms. It separates into two pieces and has transport wheels, making it easy to move and store in tighter spaces—handy for garages or apartments REP Fitness often outfits.
What should I look for in a rower’s performance monitor?
Prioritize clear tracking of time, distance, split/500m, stroke rate, watts, and calories, plus Bluetooth heart‑rate connectivity. The Concept2 PM5 is a benchmark monitor for consistent training and rankings across athletes.
How much maintenance does a rower need?
Maintenance is minimal: wipe the rail, dust the flywheel area, check bolts/straps, and periodically lubricate the chain. REP Fitness recommends following the manufacturer’s schedule; water rowers also need occasional water treatment in the tank.
