Circuit Fitness Deluxe Foldable Magnetic Rowing Machine

First time buying a rower and I had no idea there was so much choice and rubbish out there - I did a lot of research and once I confirmed that I wasn't going to get a Concept 2 D or a Nordic Track within a reasonable timeframe, I actually felt quite relieved to be looking at the more affordable available options...there aren't many that are good. I ultimately chose this based on solid reviews from experts. This site was extremely helpful and not based on filler content or biased promos: https://www.rowingmachine-guide.com/reviews.html This rower actually ranked better than the Nordic Track I was considering, so that was a bonus. It arrived in 48 hours and was pretty straightforward to put together - I did it by myself with my 4 year old disturbing me frequently! On the assembly: there is a piece attached to the front wheels/stand that needs to be removed - might be obvious to most, but it wasn't in the instructions; also, there is an extra block piece that is just for packing - useful for holding up the middle support when you are attaching the beam section (wrong jargon I'm sure, but you get what I mean). The reviewer that mentioned that the middle support doesn't touch the ground is correct - mine doesn't either; in fact, I have to lift it up even more to get the stabliser pin in, it isn't completely aligned. That said, its not a problem at all. All the parts were there and the instructions are fine to follow. The machine is quiet and the no-frills monitor does the job. The Kinoapp is actually pretty cool - if you forgive the search function being a little clunky. I'm loving it so far - will update the review in a few weeks. Great value at this price - have seen on here and other places for $100-250 more, which doesn't make sense. Its a bargain, solid rower at this price...another $100+ and I would hesistate whether I just want to go for NT, bla bla bla. Happy camper here!

J’aime beaucoup cet appareil il me convient très bien, je l’utilise pour raffermir mes épaules, mon dos et ainsi que mes genoux. C’est l’appareil que je préfère.

Really pleased with the rowing machine. Very easy to put together and easy to use. Sturdy and great for home use.

My winter fitness regimen includes daily cycling on an indoor trainer and weights every other day. In order to mix it up, decrease boredom and get a more rounded whole body workout, I decided to add a rowing machine to my winter training. I investigated all different options, including magnetic, wind resistance and water resistance rowers. The gold standard and highly recommended rower seems to be the Concept 2 Rower. I came across consistently high ratings on the Circuit Fitness Rower, but I couldn't believe that it would be that good, because it seemed to be priced significantly lower than the other units I was looking at. Because it was on sale, I decided to "pull the trigger" and figured even if I didn't like the unit, I could always resell it and not have spent a ton of money on something I didn't like. I was happy to purchase it on sale at Amazon, but even the list price on the Circuit Fitness Rower is a bargain. I couldn't have been more pleased. The unit is constructed of heavy duty steel, overall very solidly constructed, and quite easy to put together. The saddle is very comfortable and the saddle glides very smoothly over the rails. You can set the resistance at different levels, but I found that for me I set it at about 75% difficult level and just leave it there. The computer that comes with the unit is very helpful at recording total workout time, stroke rate, number of strokes, distance, etc. The key thing about this unit is that it is VERY QUIET compared to the wind resistance units like the Concept 2. Another bonus is that the rower has a 2 year warranty. A small plastic part broke after 6 months of use. I contacted customer service and they responded to my email within 24 hours. I was able to order the replacement part which was shipped to me within 4 days at no cost -- Excellent customer service and support for their product. The Concept 2 and the Peloton Rowers are beautiful machines and work well, and if you want to impress your friends and spend a ton of cash on them, then go for it. If you want to get a great workout on a quality machine that feels good and is quiet to use, and still have a ton of cash left in your wallet, then I would highly recommend purchasing the Circuit Fitness rower. I don't think you will be disappointed. This purchase is a "no-brainer".

Great product easy to put together very sturdy and works great
