The Indoor Rower for Commercial or Home

The upright storage capabilities of this rower make it an ideal piece of cardio equipment for HIIT zones, group training spaces and similar environments like cross training gyms. For cross-training, HIIT and interval sessions it’s difficult to look past the rowing machine as the weapon of choice. Only a Curved Treadmill, Air Bike and Ski Trainer feature in this same category of training torture!

While suitable for commercial high-use facilities, the Storm Rower is also a great rowing machine for home training and garage gyms. For some more ideas about creating a home gym, read our article on Creating Your Perfect Home Gym.

Comprehensive Feedback for Data Driven Training

To help guide you through your indoor rowing session the Storm® Rower console comes packed with useful features to help track and monitor your performance.

In gyms around the world users are participating in fitness challenges and competitions, as well as following standardised programmes and taking part in WODs all based on distance or calorie output. That’s why we’ve made sure the console calibration for calories and distance is comparable to other popular rower brands, to allow comparison across athletes and rowing machines.

• Workout Feedback: pulse, time, time/500m avg, watts, distance, distance/30min, calories/hr, watts avg, cycle (interval)
• Programs: Quick start, distance, time, calories, game, intervals (20/10s, 10/20s, 10/10s)

Device Mount for Entertainment during Endurance Sessions

During those long, monotonous cardio sessions, sometimes it helps to have a little distraction. Gym users today always have a favourite YouTube playlist or Netflix series at hand on their mobile device to meet this need, which is why we’ve incorporated a device mount above the console. This securely holds the user’s mobile device without obstructing the console readouts.

Why choose the Storm® rowing machine?

In today’s gym the rowing machine is something of a classic. Rowing machines tend not to have the ‘bells and whistles’ that treadmills or Stairclimbers boast with every new release. One reason for this is that: they work really well as they are. As the saying goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The only reason the rower isn’t as popular on the gym floor as the treadmill? It’s really damn hard work.

• Muscle Engagement – A regularly cited benefit of rowing is the recruitment of a large number of muscle groups. Good rowing form carried out with proper technique will work the whole body (legs, core, upper back, chest and arms).
• Low Impact – Like cycling, rowing is a great low-impact alternative to other higher-impact cardio activities that put a lot of pressure through hip, knee and ankle joints. This can be great for people dealing with injuries or rehabilitation.
• Aerobic Conditioning – Training on the indoor rower allows you to work through a range of heart-rate zones carrying out steady endurance training, recovery sessions and everything in between.
• High Intensity – One benefit of the rowing machine is the ability to quickly vary the pace, meaning it’s easy to use for high-intensity intervals and sprints. This might be part of a rowing session or in a cross training WOD.
