Blitz Air Rower

The Blitz Air Rower is an economical indoor rowing machine that offers a joint-friendly, full-body workout with a wide range of training potential. Casually row along to build cardiovascular endurance, or HIIT it hard to torch calories. This low-impact cardio machine has a lower impact than running and skipping, so it's ideal for people with joint issues. The air-powered flywheel and adjustable damper give you control over the intensity of your workout-the harder you row, the more resistance you'll get. The ergonomic design and adjustable footrests make it easy to use, and the quick disassembly and front-mounted wheels make it easier to put away after your sweat session. Version 2: Features an additional carabiner clip, so you can swap out the default handle for any cable attachment.

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.
