ATX® Double-side Linear Row - Rowing Machine

The ATX Double-side Linear Row (model LRX-750) is a plate-loaded, chest-supported machine row built around a 4-fold linear ball-bearing carriage (30mm shafts) that keeps the handles moving on a fixed, guided path rather than a free arc. It’s a seated/standing machine-style horizontal row, not a cardio air or water rower — ATX (the strength-equipment brand from German manufacturer Aerobis) markets it as bilateral, meaning both sides move together as one linear-bearing carriage rather than as independent, alternating arms. Adjustable, 360-degree rotatable knurled grips plus a straight-bar attachment, a movable chest pad, and adjustable start/end positions let it cover bent-over rows, chest-supported rows, and even deadlifts across multiple grip widths — one machine standing in for several row variations. It’s studio/commercial-certified (EN 20957 I.II.IV-S) and built from square steel tubing with a 250kg (551 lb) plate capacity, so the frame and loading ceiling are aimed squarely at serious lifters and small commercial setups, not just casual home use.

What’s missing is any independent read on how it holds up. This is a niche EU-brand page with essentially no third-party or editorial coverage: no professional reviews, no owner review videos turned up in research (the only on-topic video found was for the ATX Back-Contractor RMX-760, a different, unilateral sibling machine, and was excluded here to avoid mixing up specs), and GymRadar — which aggregates real gym ownership and ratings — lists it at 0 reviews and only 1 gym owner. Everything on this page beyond the manufacturer’s own spec sheet comes from EU retailer listings reselling the same specs, not from anyone who has put years of use on the machine. The engineering pitch (guided linear bearings, high plate capacity, studio certification) is credible on paper, but the long-term durability record is genuinely unproven.

Pricing and even the warranty term vary by market and distributor: US list is $1,499, while EU/CH retailers price it between roughly EUR 1,199 and CHF 1,399–1,459, and warranty terms conflict outright — one EU retailer lists 5 years, another lists 2 years, with no single authoritative source to resolve the discrepancy (see the specs comment below). Given the lack of a reliable, single retail price across markets, no price or buy link is set here.

What is a Machine?

What a strength machine is

A strength machine guides the resistance along a fixed path so you can train a movement safely, often without a spotter. The main types: selectorized (pick weight with a pin), plate-loaded (add your own plates for a heavier ceiling and better feel), and functional trainers / cable machines (adjustable pulleys for dozens of exercises).

Machines vs. free weights

Machines shine for isolation, safety, and high-rep hypertrophy, and for training hard alone. Free weights build more stabilizer strength and carry over better to sport. Most well-rounded home gyms use a rack and barbell as the core and add one machine — often a cable/functional trainer or a lat-pulldown/row — to fill the gaps.

The sub-types worth knowing

“Machines” covers several categories that barely compete with each other: GHDs for hamstring and posterior-chain work, belt squats for loading the legs without the bar on your back, leg press / hack squat combos for heavy quad volume, reverse hypers for posterior-chain work and lower-back decompression, cable towers and functional trainers for pulling movements, and row machines. Pick the one that fills a gap in what your rack and barbell already do. Almost nobody needs two.

Space and standalone vs. rack-mounted

Most of these come in a standalone version and a cheaper rack-attachment version. The attachment saves floor space and money, but often gives up stability or range of motion — a tradeoff worth checking on the specific product rather than assuming, since it varies a lot between designs.

A note on ratings

Machine listings frequently show a manufacturer’s own on-site rating, which runs high (4.7–5.0 is typical) and sometimes pools reviews across a whole product family rather than the exact configuration you’re buying. Where we have independent hands-on coverage, our summaries anchor to that instead, and say so on the product page.

The ATX Double-side Linear Row (LRX-750) is a plate-loaded, bilateral machine row that looks solid on the spec sheet: a 4-fold linear-bearing carriage for a guided, fixed-path pull, a 551 lb plate ceiling, studio-grade EN 20957 certification, and enough grip/pad adjustability to cover bent-over rows, chest-supported rows, and deadlift variations from one frame. That engineering case is real, but it’s also all this page can honestly stand on. There is no independent editorial review, no owner review video, and no meaningful ownership base to draw on — GymRadar shows zero reviews and a single owning gym, and EU retailer listings simply repeat the manufacturer’s own numbers rather than adding field experience. Pricing and even the warranty term disagree across distributors (2 vs. 5 years), which is a small but telling sign of how thin and inconsistent the available information is. This is a plausible niche pick for someone specifically wanting a commercial-grade bilateral row machine, but buyers should treat the durability record as unproven and go in with eyes open rather than expecting the vetting a more established product would have.

+Functionality: 4-fold linear ball-bearing carriage (30mm shafts) gives a fixed, guided pulling path across bent-over rows, chest-supported rows, and deadlift variations from one machine
+Capacity: 551 lb (250 kg) plate ceiling on Ø50mm sleeves is well above what most home lifters will ever load
+Build: studio/commercial-grade EN 20957 I.II.IV-S certification and square-steel-tube construction, aimed at serious and small-commercial use
+Versatility: rotatable knurled grips, straight-bar attachment, and adjustable chest pad/start-end position cover several row variations without swapping equipment

−Evidence/Track record: essentially no independent or editorial coverage exists — no professional reviews and no owner review videos turned up in research
−Evidence/Track record: GymRadar shows 0 reviews and only 1 owning gym, meaning there is almost no real-world ownership data to validate long-term durability
−Consistency: warranty terms conflict across EU distributors (2 years vs. 5 years) with no manufacturer-direct source to resolve it
−Value clarity: retail pricing varies meaningfully by market ($1,499 US list vs. roughly EUR 1,199-1,280 / CHF 1,399-1,459 in the EU/CH), so there's no single reliable price to anchor a buying decision
