Product Summary
The NordicTrack RW700 rower is the mid-tier rower offered by the company. It comes with a 10-inch tilting and pivoting HD touchscreen. Similar to the other models, the RW700 streams iFIT programming with AutoAdjust technology, which allows your expert trainer to adjust the resistance during your workout.
The RW700 has 26 levels of digital resistance and a quiet ride achieved with silent magnetic resistance and an innovative sliding rail system. The RW700 has oversized pedals with nylon foot straps to easily enter and exit the rower. The rower also has ergonomic soft-grip handles. While working out, you can use Bluetooth technology to listen to workouts via headphones.
The RW700 currently has very limited reviews, and they are all negative. The rowers either did not work upon arrival or very quickly started malfunctioning. Our hope is that NordicTrack has since resolved the issue.
