As far as cardio equipment is concerned, rowing machines sort of fly under the radar, unless you’re into CrossFit or paddle sports. That’s unfortunate, since rowing is one of the best forms of cardio exercise, especially for those who need low-impact workout options. “Rowing motions utilize every major muscle group,” says certified personal trainer and GGR performance editor Anthony O’Reilly. “You’ll also get a heart-pounding conditioning workout, and unlike even the best treadmills for a home gym, there’s no impact to your joints.”
If you’re in the market for an indoor rowing machine, my guide to the best rowing machines will help you find the best one for your home gym.
Our team of certified personal trainers, triathletes, and CrossFit coaches have researched more than 65 rowing machines and used more than 20 to create our list of the best rowing machines on the market today.
To whittle down our list, we rated machines from 1 to 5 stars on factors that include:
- Durability: Does it have a weight capacity of 300 pounds or more? Does it shake when in use?
- Resistance: Can you easily adjust settings? Is there a wide range of settings?
- Programming: Are there options for beginner-friendly and advanced workouts?
- Warranty: Are you covered in case of manufacturing defects?
- Portability: Can it easily be moved around your home gym?

Other Rowing Machines We Tried And Researched
CITYROW Go Max: Another WaterRower dupe, the CITYROW Go Max is a solidly built product with partial aluminum construction, making it more lightweight than the WaterRower and Ergatta. Read my full CITYROW Go Max review.
Stamina ATS Air Rower: Our testers weren’t thrilled about the lack of stability when trying out this rowing machine. It wobbles during use and has a thin seat rail, making it feel unstable.
Stamina Body Trac Glider: The Body Trac Glider is one of the cheapest rowers available and uses gas-shock resistance instead of air. Gas-shock resistance rowers are known to not have a very long life for use and can be found broken at garage sales often. We don’t suggest gas-shock resistance rowers, no matter the price. If you go through the Amazon reviews of the machine, you’ll find it riddled with comments on it breaking after less than a year.
Echanfit Foldable Rowing Machine: Our testers haven’t gotten their hands on this product yet, so we’ll refrain from a recommendation or lack thereof, but based on the product description and specs, we can pretty confidently say this rower is similar to Stamina and Sunny Health & Fitness rowers.
Echelon Row-S: In general, our testers are fans of most Echelon equipment. Our overall opinion of the Row-S is that it’s a decent rower, but there are better out there for the price point of about $1,600. Read our full Echelon Row-S review.
AssaultRower Elite: From the makers of the ever-popular AssaultBike, the AssaultRower is a behemoth of an air rower. It’s overbuilt in all of the right ways, and gearheads will love it, but our testers still think the Concept2 RowErg is best for most home gym owners.
Concept 2 Model E Rower: We’re big fans of every piece of equipment Concept 2 is making, and the Model E is no exception. The only reason we would suggest the Model E over the RowErg is if you had an injury limiting your mobility for getting on a lower-to-the-ground rower. Otherwise, they’re pretty much identical.
TechnoGym SKILLROW: The TechnoGym SKILLROW has some cool features, but its price point is a bit hard to swallow. We haven’t been able to use it and weren’t able to talk to anyone outside of the company. Until then, we will remain neutral.
Stamina 35-1405 ATS Air Rower: The Stamina 35-1405 ATS Air Rower is pretty much the same as the Stamina X Air Rower and again doesn’t have much more benefits over our budget pick that has a lower price point.
Schwinn Crewmaster Rowing Machine: The Crewmaster is Schwinn’s premier rowing machine offering and is unfortunately overpriced for its features. The Crewmaster hasn’t been out long enough for many reviews, but based on its components, it’s somewhat lacking for the price.
Stamina Avari Magnetic Rower: This is a basic magnetic rower like others on the list, and I think it is overpriced.
WaterRower: This iconic water rowing machine is a solid piece of equipment, but we think others offers better value at a similar or lower price. Read our full WaterRower review for our full thoughts, or check certified personal trainer Lindsay Scheele’s video review.
Stamina Wave Water Rowing Machine: If you’re going to buy a rower with water resistance, go with WaterRower, Ergatta, or CITYROW.
Vulcan Scull Rower: Certified personal trainer Lindsay Scheele says in her Vulcan Scull Rower Video Review that this piece of equipment could rival the Concept2.
How We Picked And Tested the Best Rowing Machines
We started out by researching more than 65 rowers. To compile the list, we dug through all of the major manufacturers as well as reached out to industry experts and various forums such as r/homegym.
Additionally, at our fitness testing facility in Springfield, Missouri, multiple product testers on our team tried dozens rowers and provided input on their likes and dislikes.
During testing (and during our years of training experience), our product testers performed both long and short duration intervals, including all-out sprints and grueling long-distance rowing events.
We examined the following factors:
- Footprint and Portability: We give high ratings in this category to rowing machines that are easy to move and store, bonus points if they fold.
- Durability: Our testers look at weight capacity (we like to see 300 pounds or higher) and assess how the machine performs during hard sprints. If there is significant shaking or wobbling, the rower will be docked a few points.
- Assembly: Rowers that receive high ratings in assembly are those that have simple processes, clear instructions, and provide most or all of the tools you need.
- Customizations: This is where we assess resistance. First, if it is air, magnetic, or water, does it perform the way those types of resistance patterns should? Also, is the resistance adjustable in some way? We favor machines that allow for some level of adjustability.
- Adjustability and Ergonomics: To a moderate rating, a rower has the ability to accommodate users between 5’2” and 6’4” and offers some type of adjustability on the feet holders. Other considerations for bonus points include a longer monorail to accommodate taller users, an angled handle for ergonomic value, and a comfortable seat.
- Tech Capabilities: To get a middle-of-the-road rating we require rowers to have a small console to show time, distance, calories, splits. Bonus points for machine that have capabilities like Bluetooth, large screens for broadcasting training videos, and heart rate capabilities.
- Dynamic Programming: Our testers like to see at least some built-in workouts. We add points when there are a large number of preset programs or access to live or on-demand classes.
- Value: We rate machines based on if their price point matches the value they offer. Having researched more than 65 rowers, we have a firm grasp on the average price and what to expect from a machine that falls within certain price ranges.
- Customer experience: This includes company policies, customer service, and customer reviews on third-party websites.
Benefits Of Rowing Machines
The benefits of rowing machines are aplenty.
At its most basic, a rowing machine is a tool that can help improve your cardiovascular health and fitness. But if you look deeper, you’ll learn that rowing ergs also serve as a way to sneak in some light resistance training, and can thus improve your muscular endurance, strength, and musculoskeletal health as well.
The benefits are, of course, most prominent when you learn how to use a rowing machine correctly.
How to Choose the Best Rowing Machine
There is an overwhelmingly large number of rowing machines at nearly every price point. Thanks to the increase of people working out in their homes along with the popularity of rowing, in large part due to CrossFit, there are now more options than ever.
Whether you want a cheap rower under $100, or a high-frills rowing machine made out of handcrafted black walnut, there is something that will suit your fancy.
Here are some things to look for in a rowing machine:
Overall Construction
For the most part, we recommend rowers that feature the best overall construction within their price ranges. The welds are clean, the connection points are solid, the seat rolls smoothly, and the flywheel spins freely.
Durability
A rower should last a LONG time; I’m talking decades. As with most things, with rowing machines, you typically get what you pay for. A rowing machine should be able to take, within reason, whatever type of intensity you can throw at it.
Mode Of Resistance
There are four types of resistance: Hydraulic rowers use cylinders and are featured on less expensive rowing machines; air rowers have flywheels that spin against air; magnetic rowers feature magnetic flywheels; and water rowers have flywheels that spin against water. We suggest staying away from hydraulic cylinders and focusing mainly on air rowing options, although magnetic is a good choice for people who need a near-silent machine.
Monitor
The monitor used to track the various metrics should be both accurate and easy to use. Nearly every company uses a different monitor, and some are good while most are inaccurate and basic.
Fluidity
The chain or cord attached to the handle and flywheel should provide a fluid motion start and return. Cheaper rowing machines will have abrupt starts and returns, and the seat will not roll smoothly. The more closely the rowing machine experience relates to true water rowing, the better.
Space
By their nature, most rowing machines take up a considerable amount of space. However, that doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice an entire room to the machine. Some rowers have a shorter slider, and some compact rowing machines are even foldable. If you are tight on space, look for a machine that can easily fold and store when not in use, like the ProForm 750R.
It’s really important to note that people with an inseam of 40 inches or more most likely will not be able to use a space-saving rower design. The rail will simply be too short. You’ll need a rail length of around 50 inches or more.
Price Range
As with other exercise equipment, there is a significant price difference between the lowest and most costly choices. The majority of the high-quality rowers we like are priced around $1,000 or more. You can still purchase a good rower for less than $1,000, but if you go too cheap, your machine may fail or malfunction easily.
Preset Workouts
Sure, you can just hop on a rower and start pulling, but if you really want to see improvement, you’ll probably want to start doing some real rowing machine workouts. Look for a machine with preset options, which can include interval training and benchmark distances (like a 500-meter test or marathon row).
There are also many rowers that have fancy screens and accompanying apps. Take the NordicTrack RW900 for example, which comes with an iFIT subscription that guides you through customized, on-demand, and even personal trainer options.
Tech Capabilities
The official name for machines like a rower is “ergometers.” Basically, this means exercise machines that are equipped with an apparatus that measures work performed on the machines.
The display—be it a small digital monitor, a little LCD monitor, or a large 22-inch touchscreen— should tell you how you’re doing in terms of pace, distance, calories, and stroke rate. Really good machines will throw in other metrics, like projected splits and distances.
Adjustability Considerations
You might be drawn to a rower for its joint-friendly exercise, but it still needs to fit your body! Your rowing experience could be significantly worse if you’re uncomfortable the whole time. So consider the little things.
For example, some handlebars are slightly angled to improve your natural posture; some seats have light padding; some foot holders have extra comfortable straps. Also, take a look at where the monitor lives; you don’t want to have to crane your neck to check your progress.
The best rowing machine, however, is the one you actually use. Whether you’re an athlete looking to improve performance or simply someone trying to live a healthier life, the rowing machine can help you achieve your goals.
Maintenance
Rowing machines should be relatively low maintenance; you shouldn’t have to oil a chain monthly or constantly bolt parts back together.
Price
The price of the rowing machine should match up with the features offered. Value is more important than just a low retail price. What I’ve found with rowing machines and fitness equipment in general, typically, is the more you spend, the more you get.
Warranty
A warranty should be offered and the company should stand behind that warranty with great customer service.
Ease of Use
Your rowing machine should be easy to use without an instruction manual. In other words, you should be able to sit down and start rowing without going through complicated processes.
Special Features
Does the rowing machine come with any extras, such as cup holders or media trays? Are there any preprogrammed workouts or do you have access to an online workout program?
Types of Rowing Machines
When researching rowing machines, you’ll want to know about the three main types: water, magnetic, and air.
Water Rowers
Water rowers utilize a tank filled with water, and the flywheel spins through the water to create resistance.
Pros:
- Resistance is user-dependent (the harder you pull, the harder it gets)
- Relatively quiet
- Usually more visually appealing
- Wood construction typically means higher weight capacity
- Mimics the feel of rowing on actual water
Cons:
- Require more maintenance (have to change the water to avoid mold)
- Usually heavier due to wood construction
- Hard to measure resistance since there are no defined levels
Magnetic Rowers
Magnetic rowers use a magnetic flywheel and typically come with predefined resistance settings.
Pros:
- Defined levels of resistance
- Nearly silent during use
- Magnetic resistance is usually really smooth
Cons:
- Some only have a few levels of resistance
- Tend to break faster than water and air rowers
- Seems there are not a lot of mid-level options; most are either super luxurious or very cheap
Air Rowers
Air rowers use a wind-based flywheel.
Pros:
- Unlimited resistance is user-dependent
- Some have dampers to fine-tune resistance control
- Can very accurately monitor resistance, distance, and other metrics
Cons:
- Very noisy
- Most don’t have big displays with fitness streaming integrations
How to Use a Rowing Machine
There are four steps to using a rowing machine: legs, lean, pull, and reverse. We’ll go over each step here, though you could also read our handy guide on how to use a rowing machine and what form mistakes you should look out for.
- Drive through your heels, keeping your quads, glutes, and hamstrings engaged to fully extend your legs, stopping just short of knee lockout. Keep your feet flat and don’t push through your toes.
- Once you reach full extension, create a 100-degree angle between your torso and legs by leaning back slightly—but not too far.
- When you reach the end of your lean, pull with your arms
- Return to the starting position
How to Avoid Injury on a Rowing Machine
Garage Gym Reviews staff writer, certified personal trainer, and rowing expert Amanda Capritto recommends these tips for avoiding injury on a rowing machine.
- Avoid varied stroke rates. Make sure each stroke is consistent.
- Make sure each move is timed correctly.
- Ensure you reach full extension.
- Have a good starting form.
Best Rowing Machine FAQs
Can you lose belly fat on a rowing machine?
Absolutely, and in fact, it might be one of the best cardio machines to help you do so. Rowing machines recruit just about every muscle group and increase your heart rate, which can help you achieve a caloric deficit, or when you burn more calories than you consume in a day. Caloric deficits are central to weight loss.
Which style of rowing machine is best?
There are three main types of rowing machines: water, air, and magnetic. These all refer to the different resistance types found on rowing machines. One is not better than the other, and it just depends on your preferences. Air rowers are noisy but very accurate; magnetic rowers are very smooth but tend to break sooner than the other types; and water rowers require more maintenance but tend to be more aesthetically pleasing.
What is the best rowing machine to use for a workout?
Our top rowing machines are:
– Best Rowing Machine Overall: Concept2 RowErg
– Best Smart Rowing Machine: Hydrow Wave
– Best Rowing Machine for Beginners: Aviron Strong Go Rower
– Best Rowing Machine for Cross-Training: NordicTrack RW900
– Best Water Rowing Machine: Ergatta Lite
– Best Rowing Machine for Small Spaces: Bells of Steel Blitz Rower
– Best Rowing Machine for the Money: Echelon Row Connected Rowing Machine
– Best Gamified Rowing Machine: Aviron Strong Series Rower
– Best Foldable Rowing Machine: ProForm 750R Rower
– Best Interactive Rowing Machine: Ergatta Rower
– Best Budget Rowing Machine: Sunny Health & Fitness SF-RW5801
Which rowing machine is better, water or magnetic?
It depends on your preferences. While they’re both relatively quiet, water rowers require more maintenance and don’t have defined resistance levels, as the stroke is completely user-dependent. A magnetic rower will be very smooth and has set resistance levels, though they may not be enough for you.
