Have you ever wanted to own a single piece of exercise equipment that would not only give you a great cardiovascular, but also a demanding strength training workout?

Would you then want this machine to need very little in the way of maintenance, and also fit into your spare bedroom or living room, without being too obtrusive?

Plus, would you like it to be able to monitor your performance and give you immediate and useful feedback?

Oh, and have you ever wanted to row like the Oarsome Foursome?

Rowing is a great sport. It can get you fit faster than almost any other activity. Its low impact dynamics can keep you fit and active for a lifetime. But until now, you could only learn and practice rowing by traveling to a boatshed, usually at odd hours of the early morning. The Rowperfect can make rowing accessible more easily than ever before — and that is our aim at Rowperfect

Even if you’ve never rowed the Rowperfect is the best choice.

  • Firstly, the forces on your knees and back are lower than on standard rowing machines, and so mitigates injury.
  • Secondly, the greater challenge involved in balancing using the ropwerfect limited tilt seat makes for a more interesting workout and significantly improved core usage and development.
  • Lastly, because your head is not moving large distances with vigorous changes in direction (as is the case in single action machines), the brain is not 'sloshing' around in your skull. This results in less fatigue. An added benefit is the ability to wear a pair of headphones comfortably — listen to your favourite music.

Faced with the choice of rowing in a boat bolted to the floor, or one floating on water, which would you choose? This is essentially the choice gyms users have once a Rowperfect is available. The vast majority will obviously choose the ‘floating’ boat the Rowperfect simulates. The initial challenge of mastering a NEW co-ordination pattern is a plus and the ongoing satisfaction and ‘glide’ of real rowing is truly motivating.

Add to this the far greater range and accuracy of the data available if an interface is connected and it is easy to see why the majority of users will soon prefer Rowperfect feedback over any other rowing machine.

Rowperfect's easy maintenance — especially the ease of cleaning — and strong steel construction are further pluses for operators and staff. Durability is excellent — the first Rowperfect, produced in 1989, is still going strong. Repairs, if needed, are easy and parts are economical.

A limited number of machines are available for hire (and in some cases even free trial for gyms). Please contact your local agent for details
