Magnetic Resistance Rowers

Magnetic Resistance Fitness Rowing Machine

A magnetic resistance fitness rowing machine is known for being virtually silent and providing a smooth rowing stroke. Unlike flywheel based indoor rowers, such as the Concept 2 or the Fitness Quest Integrity 3000 air rower which receives its resistance from the wind, magnetic rowing machines utilizes a magnetic brake system.

One of the main aspects you’ll notice with magnetic rowing machines is that is doesn’t product much sound at all. Fan blade rowers and WaterRowers require friction with the air or water in order to generate resistance. With rowing machines based on magnetic resistance, there is no friction, thus providing a silent workout. This may be the best rowing machine for home use if you have a baby in your home who cannot be disturbed by noise.

Fitness rowing machines based on magnetic resistance are available with:

• Only magnet resistance (such as the Tunturi rowing machine)
• A combination of magnetic and air resistance
• A 2-in-1 exercise machine that merges a recumbent bicycle and an indoor rower in one unit (such as the stamina conversion ii recumbent bike rower)
