AssaultRower Elite

Assault Fitness is proud to announce the addition of the AssaultRower Elite to its family of products. This machine was designed by professional athletes and trainers who have tested the world's best fitness equipment in order to create one, power-house rower that packs a punch. The Rower's solid steel frame construction and innovative design combined with its commercial grade durability makes it the best in-class rower on the market.

What is a Rower?

What a rower is

A rowing machine (erg) is a low-impact, full-body cardio piece — legs, back, and arms drive each stroke — making it a favorite for conditioning and steady-state work that spares the joints. Resistance comes from air (a fan; harder the faster you pull, the CrossFit/Concept2 standard), magnetic (quiet, fixed levels), or water (a smooth, swishing feel).

What to look for

A trustworthy performance monitor (pace, watts, distance) is what makes training measurable — the Concept2 PM5 is the benchmark. Also weigh footprint and storage (many rowers stand or separate for storage) and build quality, since the seat, rail, and handle take daily abuse.
