NordicTrack RW200 Folding Rower

The NordicTrack RW200 folds away after each session while delivering adjustable air resistance, a backlit console with 20 pre-set workout apps, and comfort points that keep longer rows smooth.

Design and construction

Every part built around your stroke

From the oversized pivoting footplates to the backlit console, each part of the RW200 keeps your stroke aligned, your reading clear, and your storage plan simple once the workout ends.

Rowing results you can measure

Each session ends with less clutter and more confidence: the RW200 folds away when you are done, shows the numbers that matter, and lets you raise the challenge as your fitness improves.

Outcome 01

Effort you can shape

Turn the air resistance dial up or down mid-session to match exactly how hard you want to work.

Outcome 02

Progress you can track

Time, distance, calories, watts and strokes per minute keep progress visible stroke after stroke.

Outcome 03

Seat comfort that lasts

A molded seat and soft-touch handle reduce fatigue so longer rows stay comfortable.

Outcome 04

Space back after every row

Fold the frame after your last stroke and roll it forward on the front-mounted transport wheels.

Outcome 05

Sound for longer sessions

Connect a phone to the sound system and keep music or coaching audio playing through the workout.

Outcome 06

Fresh plans on tap

Twenty pre-set workout apps give you a structured plan on days you do not want to design one.

Who it suits

Situations where the RW200 fits best

First home rower

If you are starting out, pre-set workout apps and adjustable air resistance remove the guesswork from your first weeks.

Small-space living

The frame folds after your session and rolls on front transport wheels, so a spare room can go back to daily use.

Interval training

Air resistance moves quickly between easy warm-up strokes and hard sprints, ideal for interval sessions you set yourself.

Low-impact cardio

Smooth, quiet stroke work suits low-impact cardio for anyone easing into training or returning after a break.

Evening workouts

A quiet rowing motion and connectable speakers let you train late without disturbing others at home.

Steady-state rows

The backlit console keeps time, distance, calories, watts and strokes per minute visible for steady-state work.

A simple routine, start to storage

Set the rower up once, then build a repeatable routine around it: pick a resistance you can sustain, watch your metrics, and fold the frame away so the room is yours again.

Set up level floor

Place the rower on a level surface and check that the transport wheels and frame sit steady before your first stroke.

Dial your resistance

Start at a lower setting, then raise the air resistance as your form settles and your effort climbs.

Read the console

Glance at time, distance and strokes per minute between sets to keep each interval honest and repeatable.

Fold away after rows

Lift the frame, roll it forward on the front wheels, and set it where it will not block the rest of the room.

First-person accounts

What owners say after weeks of rowing

These accounts describe real routines: folding the rower away in a small apartment, dialing resistance for intervals, and noticing fitness improve over several weeks of consistent use at home.

This rower is fantastic. It folds up easily when I am done, which is perfect for my small apartment. The console shows all the metrics I need, and the adjustable air resistance lets me increase the challenge as I get stronger. I have been using it for weeks and already see fitness gains.

Compact yet very sturdy, and I have been rowing for years. The display is informative and keeps my statistics in view. I did research before buying and feel confident this ranks with the best machines in its price range. The controls took a moment to learn, but now they are seamless.

Two months in and I could not be happier. The rowing motion is smooth and quiet, which matters for my late-night workouts, and the folding feature is a lifesaver. I connect my phone to the speakers for music, and the varying resistance makes interval training genuinely fun.

Generally satisfied, with a few minor notes. It folds up but still takes some space when stored, and the assembly instructions could have been clearer. After that initial setup it has been smooth sailing, and performance has held up to daily use. I would buy it again.

This machine does what it claims. I use it for calm steady-state rows and for high-intensity sprints, and the adjustable air resistance switches the difficulty seamlessly. It feels well-built with a sleek design. I would like more programming options to keep things fresh.

Before you decide

Practical questions, answered

How does the adjustable air resistance work on the RW200 rower?

Resistance is adjustable and air-based: turning the dial changes how much effort each stroke requires, so you can row easy for warm-ups or push harder during sprints. Start lighter until your form settles and your breathing stays controlled.

Does this rower require a power source or outlet nearby?

The supplied product details list a backlit display and pre-set workout apps but do not confirm whether the rower must be plugged in. Check the listed power requirements with the retailer before you choose where it will live in your home.

What size is the seat, and will it fit taller users comfortably?

The page lists oversized pivoting footplates and an ergonomic molded seat, but exact seat dimensions are not published here. If fit matters for a taller or larger user, confirm the measurements with the seller before buying.

What kind of warranty coverage comes with the RW200 rower?

Warranty terms are not listed in the product information supplied for this page. Ask the retailer about coverage for the frame, console and moving parts before purchase, and keep the part number NTREW59146C handy for any query.

Are replacement parts for the RW200 easy to find and order?

The page does not publish replacement-part availability for this model. Before buying, confirm with the retailer that parts such as the seat, footplates, handle and console can be ordered later, and note the listed 250 lb user weight capacity.

How much floor space does the rower need during and after use?

Assembled dimensions are 84.75 L x 22 W x 43.5 inches high, so allow that footprint while rowing plus room behind the seat for full leg extension. Folding reduces stored depth, but it still occupies some floor space in the room.
