The argument for selecting a magnetic rowing machine
Magnetic rowing machines are an ideal choice for both the home user or the commercial gym. They are virtually silent when in operation, whereas air rowers can be quite deafening when being used. The initial price point may be higher on a magnetic rowing machine due to more advanced technology in their construction, however this is offset by their cost effectiveness over the long term. Fewer moving parts compared to their air or hydraulic counterparts, means that magnetic rowers generally require very little maintenance.
Using magnets and a flywheel to create resistance, these rowers allow for specific resistance levels to be set as the magnets move further or closer from the flywheel. These set resistance levels can be great for tracking your fitness as you progress through harder resistance levels, as opposed to air or water machines, which give greater resistance the harder you row.
The Matrix RXP Target Training Display?
One of the standout elements of the Matrix RXP is the Target Training Display. This striking LED console features bright colours and easy ‘at-a glance’ metrics that will make the indoor rowing experience more enjoyable for the user.
Goal-based training is at the heart of the RPX Target Training Display, allowing users to focus on:
- distance
- calories
- watts
- 500m split
- heart rate
- strokes per minute, or
- smashing through a designated HIIT workout.
Whether you’re seeking a compact, low-maintenance, and noise sensitive piece of cardio kit or you want to add some variety to your HIIT circuit, the Matrix RXP Rower is a solid investment.
