Fresh on the rowing floor

Six new rowers worth a closer look

Six fresh rowing machines showing how screen size, resistance feel and storage design differ.

NordicTrack Rowing Machine with Quiet Magnetic Resistance and Mounted Display for Home Training

A quiet magnetic drive and a mounted display make this rower an easy starting point for structured indoor rowing. It suits home exercisers who want guided sessions and a smooth, joint-friendly pull without paying for the largest screen in the range.

NordicTrack Rowing Machine with Pivoting Touchscreen for Guided Home Sessions on the Rail

Choose this one when coaching matters more than footprint. The larger pivoting display keeps guided sessions easy to follow from the seat, and the resistance stays smooth while the workout changes pace around you, which suits anyone who trains by following rather than by feel.

NordicTrack SpaceSaver Rower with Upright Storage for Compact Home Gyms and Small Rooms

Storage decides whether a rower stays out all week. This SpaceSaver design folds upright, so the room returns to normal after training. It belongs in the new selection as the answer for apartments and shared living spaces where floor space is the limiting factor, not motivation.

NordicTrack Rower with Up to 26 Magnetic Levels for Gradual Progression at Home Training

Progress is easier when the steps are small. With up to 26 magnetic levels, this rower lets you add load in smooth increments as strength improves. It earns its place in the new range for buyers who want a clear path upward without jarring resistance jumps mid-session.

NordicTrack Rowing Machine Built for Low-Impact Full-Body Home Training and Sessions

Rowing shares the work between legs, back and arms with no jarring landing, which makes it a strong low-impact choice. This model belongs in the new group for home exercisers building a full-body routine that stays comfortable on knees and lower back week after week.

NordicTrack Rower with iFIT Coaching for Structured Indoor Rowing Sessions at Home

When you want the plan taken care of, coaching matters most. This rower centres its value on guided iFIT sessions delivered through a mounted display, so pacing and structure are handled for you. It fits buyers who prefer following a coach to building their own interval charts.

NordicTrack Rowing Machine with iFIT Coaching and SpaceSaver Storage for Home Training

This rower anchors the category with a mounted display, quiet magnetic load and a frame designed to be stored upright. It suits home exercisers who want guided sessions, a smooth low-impact pull and a machine that gives the floor back once training ends for the day.

Rowers shoppers compare most before they buy

This group leans on the decisions that settle most home purchases: how much floor space stays taken, how quietly the load changes, and how much guidance the display offers mid-stroke.

NordicTrack Compact Rower that Stores Upright After Every Home Session in Small Rooms

The comparison that settles most purchases is what happens after the session. This rower folds upright, so a shared room is usable again within a minute. It features here for buyers measuring a tight corner and wanting honest guidance on floor space before anything else.

NordicTrack Rowing Machine with Large Display for Follow-Along Training from the Seat

Visibility changes how a coached session feels from the seat. This model leads on a large display that keeps the workout easy to read mid-stroke. It appears in this group for shoppers who weigh screen size first and want the training content to stay front and centre.

NordicTrack Magnetic Rower Offering Quiet, Smooth Resistance at Home for Everyday Training

Shared walls make noise a real specification. The sealed magnetic system keeps the pull smooth and quiet through the whole stroke, and it featured here for households training early or late. Buyers comparing resistance types can treat this as the low-disturbance end of the category.

NordicTrack Rower with Gradual Resistance Steps for Steady Progress at Home, Session by Session

Plateauing usually means the load stopped moving with you. This rower offers many small magnetic steps, so progress stays gradual and the stroke stays clean. It belongs in this group for buyers who want a machine that can keep up over months rather than weeks of training.

NordicTrack Full-Body Rower for Low-Impact Cardio in Home Gyms and Living Rooms

Short on time, you still want a real session. Rowing trains legs, back and arms together with a low-impact pull, so twenty focused minutes cover the whole body. This model features for buyers who need maximum training value from a small block of home time.

NordicTrack Rowing Machine with Guided Sessions and Quiet Home Operation for Daily Training

Guidance is what turns a machine into a routine. This rower pairs guided sessions with a quiet home-friendly operation, so the plan and the environment both work with you. It appears here for buyers who want structure delivered on the display rather than self-programmed.

Who a rower can serve

Six situations where rowing works well

Low-impact cardio

Rowing spreads the work across legs, back and arms with no jarring landing, which suits joint-sensitive training.

Apartment training

A quiet magnetic load and a SpaceSaver frame let you train near living space and clear the floor afterwards.

Guided daily sessions

Mounted displays and guided coaching give structure when you want someone else to set the pace and the plan.

Progressive strength

Up to 26 magnetic levels let you add load in small steps as your stroke strength and stamina improve.

Time-efficient training

One machine trains the whole body, so a short block still covers legs, back and arms together.

Steady weight management

Regular low-impact rowing builds a weekly routine you can repeat without lingering joint soreness.

What to compare first

Three factors that decide which rower suits you

Screen size and viewing

Larger pivoting displays make guided sessions easier to follow from the seat, while smaller screens keep the machine focused on rowing itself.

Resistance type and range

Up to 26 magnetic levels let you progress in small, smooth steps, and the quiet load is easier on joints than a jarring mechanical pull.

Footprint and storage

Rowers are long, so check full rail length plus clearance at each end; a SpaceSaver frame suits rooms that must be cleared after training.

Three ways to row at home

Find the rower that fits your room

Rowers led by a large coaching display

Larger pivoting displays make coached sessions easier to follow from the seat, so screen-led rowers suit people who want the machine to lead each workout and keep pace and structure visible throughout.

Compact designs that store upright

SpaceSaver frames fold upright after training, which suits rooms that must be cleared and buyers measuring tight corners. Check full rail length first, then confirm the stored position fits where the machine will live.

Quiet magnetic resistance focus

Magnetic resistance delivers quiet, smooth load changes across up to 26 levels, which suits shared homes and joint-sensitive progressions where a jarring pull would break the rhythm of training.

What rowers notice later

Habits that formed after the first week

Home rowers describe the same pattern: early sessions are about learning the stroke, later ones are about consistency. These accounts focus on space, noise and coaching rather than any single machine.

I measured the full rail before delivery and left clearance at each end, which turned out to be exactly right. Folding the machine upright after a session takes seconds, and the room is usable again by the evening.

The magnetic load is smooth, so the only sound is the seat moving on the rail. My partner sleeps one room away and has not noticed a single session, which has made keeping a routine far easier.

Following a guided session removed the planning I used to dread. Watching the pace shift on the display taught me to hold a cleaner stroke, and my sessions grew longer without ever feeling harder.

Starting low and moving up a level every few weeks gave me a clear path to follow. The pull stays smooth at every setting, so my knees and lower back have stayed comfortable throughout the whole block.

When time is short, rowing still covers legs, back and arms in one go. I keep the resistance moderate, focus on a long drive, and finish knowing I have trained properly rather than just briefly.

Questions before you buy

Rowing machine choices, answered

How much floor space should I leave for a rowing machine at home?

Rowers are long, so measure the full rail length and add clearance at each end for the drive and recovery. If the room must stay usable after training, a SpaceSaver frame that stores upright gives the floor back.

Does a larger touchscreen change how guided rowing sessions feel?

Larger pivoting displays make coached sessions easier to follow from the seat, while smaller screens keep the machine focused on the rowing itself. Choose based on how much guidance you want on screen.

Is magnetic resistance quiet enough for early mornings or shared living spaces?

Magnetic resistance uses a sealed system instead of a jarring mechanical pull, keeping the load smooth and quiet. Up to 26 levels let you progress in small steps without spiking noise early in the morning.

How do incline and decline settings change what a rowing session asks of me?

Incline and decline shift how much work your legs and back take during the drive, adding variety to steady state training. Use them when you want a session to feel different without adding impact to your joints.

What resistance range should I look at if I want to progress over months?

A wide range gives you somewhere to go: small, smooth jumps in magnetic levels let strength and stamina rise gradually. Start low, keep the stroke clean, and move up when the current setting stops challenging you.

Should I pick a rower with a screen if I already follow my own training plan?

A screen is optional if you already bring your own plan, but it removes guesswork on pace and interval timing. If you prefer coaching to self-programming, a larger display earns its space; otherwise weigh feel and footprint.
