The other advantage of opting for a rower over a treadmill, exercise bike or elliptical is that you can pick up the very best machines on the market for under £1,000. Yes, for less than a grand you can use the same rowers that Olympians train on, which should hopefully put paid to those “the machine’s shoddy” excuses that help you to skip sessions when Bake Off’s on. Of course you don’t have to buy the best on the market – you can pick up excellent rowing machines for under £500 and there are even solid options available for less than £250. Price will be the main determining factor when it comes to picking your machine – the more expensive options tend to be smoother to use and more durable – but one decision you have to make is on the type of resistance. Magnetic machines are quiet to run and cheap, but usually lack the resistance and smooth stroke of air or water machines. As you’d expect, water machines offer a very realistic approximation of rowing outdoors, but are very expensive and usually take up more space. Air machines are the most common and offer a great balance of price and features, but they’re noisy. Whatever kind of machine you have in mind, and whatever budget you have, we’ve got the perfect rower for you in this round-up, ordered by least expensive to most. Show more
