Commercial Rowing Machines for Sale

15 products· from $925· new & remanufactured · delivered & installed nationwide

A rowing machine works about 85% of the body's muscle in one movement, and a hard 2,000-meter row is one of the most demanding tests in fitness. The rowers here are commercial grade — rails, seats and chains or straps built for continuous use — and every one ships with a warranty.

Compare resistance type (air, water, magnetic), monitor quality (the Concept2 PM5 is the reference), rail length for tall users, weight capacity (typically 300–500 lb), and storage: most rowers stand upright or split in half.

More About Rowing Machines

The Concept2 RowErg is the machine you find in every rowing club, CrossFit box and most commercial gyms. It is affordable, indestructible, and the PM5 monitor connects to apps and lets anyone compare scores. Water rowers from First Degree Fitness offer adjustable water resistance and a quieter, smoother stroke that many users prefer for steady-state training. Magnetic rowers are the quietest option and suit apartments and hotels.

Rowing technique matters more than resistance settings — the damper on an air rower controls feel rather than difficulty, and setting it lower (3–5) is correct for most users. Rowers need about 9 x 4 feet of floor space in use, no outlet, and only periodic chain oiling or rail cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What damper setting should I use on an air rower?

Between 3 and 5 for most users. The damper controls how much air enters the flywheel, changing how the stroke feels — not how hard the workout is. Higher settings feel like a heavier boat.

Are water rowers better than air rowers?

Different rather than better. Water rowers are smoother, quieter and arguably more attractive; air rowers are the competitive standard and their monitors allow accurate comparison.

Can tall users row comfortably?

Commercial rowers accommodate users up to about 6 feet 6 inches. Very tall users should check rail length on the product page.
