Endorsed by Steve redgrave, but not me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Advantages: A perfect rowing machine
Disadvantages: Expensive

...comes to rowing machines, the concept 2 rower has been a mainstay in gyms over the last 10 to 15 years. However does that make a good piece of home gym equipment? In my opinion no, the machine is way too expensive for the home gym market, and despite is definite perfection as a rowing machine, the buyer with a smaller budget will be ostracized to purchase an inferior but cheaper machine. Logan investigates.

Now as a review my job is to critially review how well the makers claims stand up to critisism. Does it do what they are telling us it will? The problem here is I cannot critisize the concept 2 at all. The ... more

Fluid Rower No Slip and No Slack for this indoor water rower

Advantages: well made, great water sound, no slip or slack, great seat hight, very solid
Disadvantages: Interactive monitor not as advanced as concept 2,

Why choose a Fluid Indoor Rower when you could have a concept2 ? I spend most of my life training in the gym, which up until now has been dominated by the Concept 2 indoor rower, that is until now !!!! Compare the concept 2 and its air system and the initial resistance is poor you almost get a few inches of stroke before the concept 2 rower starts to bite, then once you over come that initial force it then peaks and almost turns using its own force, almost free wheeling the large fan wheel. The stroke on the fluid Rower is there no wait, no slip and no slack, just constant force, when you stop your stroke the fluid rower stops. Im a big guy at 6ft 3" the Fluid Rower is rock steady and even giving the machine a real pounding, it doesnt budge and the seat doesnt lift and rock and roll. The Fluid Rower seat has got to be the most comfy ...

Review of First Degree S500 Fluid Rower

Row Row Row your boat gently down your lounge

Advantages: All the functionality of a much more expensive machine at half the price
Disadvantages: Same as any air rower, a touch noisy

In the interest of balance, I thought I would write a review about another rowing machine I have used during my many hours training people in the gym, namely the Horizon Fitness Oxford II CS Rower. My first review was on the impeccable but expensive concept II rower, the benchmark for all rowing machines. The concept II comes in at over £1000 and is really pitched at the advanced/elite rower. However the Oxford II CS costs in the region of £400 making it a more affordable option, but is it any good? Logan investigates. PHYSIOLOGY Perhaps the biggest misconception of rowing is the fact that people believe it is an upper body sport. Infact most of the power in rowing is dominated by the lower limbs (quads and hamstrings) to generate the power in the stroke. Rowing infact is the perfect balance between the lower body extension in ...

Review of Horizon Oxford 2 CS Air Rower

Concept II Rower. Model E. PM4

Advantages: Ease of use and worlds best
Disadvantages: Huge! Very costly.

I am what you would describe as a fitness freak and have used many pieces of gym equipment. The Concept 2 Rower is bar far the most superior rower I have used. I use the Model E which is a newer version of the rower and immediately recongised by the frame being higher off the ground allowing a raised seating position which in my opinion is a far more natural and comfortable position. This rower is fitted with a performance Monitor known as PM4, simply the key pad you enter the distance/time and so forth. Being wireless enabled allows you to actually race another rower using a concept 2, as well as wireless heart rate monitoring. The rower even has a game function which allows you to actually add some enjoyment into your workout, it consists of a simple fish game where you must avoid the larger fish and eat the smaller ones ...
