Compact Rowing Machine

Rowing machine features 

The compact rowing machine uses pistons, similar to vehicleshocks, that are attached to the handles of the rowing machine. The rowing machine resistence is typically varied by adjusting where the pistons connect to the rower handles. Due to the mechanical design of these rowing machines the resistance varies somewhat through the stroke. They have a compact and simple design and are easy to fold up and store away when not in use.

The price range of a compact rowing machine is between $200 - $600.

Generally people seem to be quite happy with this type of rowing machine. Sometimes the pistons can start to leak resulting in a decrease or disappearance of the resistance.
