Small size

The first thing you’ll notice about this machine is that it will be easy enough to travel with if that’s required. You could easily take it away with you as it folds up very neatly. This also makes storage very easy – it fits neatly under the bed. The next thing you’ll find is that it’s also reasonably easy to assemble compared to other machines.

Different rowing resistance

There are settings of various kinds on the machine – including piston resistance, if you want to have a more difficult time for your workout. The angle of incline can be raised to improve leg strength. You can do the same with the chassis length of the machine, if you’re not comfortable because the length of the machine is too long or short for the legs. And the computer is good in terms of the provision of information.

HCI Fitness Sprint Outrigger Scull Rowing Machine Review

There are two hydraulic cylinders in the machine that allow you to set the resistance levels. The levels go from 1 to 12. Speaking personally, the more difficult levels are very tough indeed. However, the machine is designed to give a good workout for the arms as well as the legs. The footplates are large enough to accommodate big feet, and there is a little bit of give in them, allowing you to move relatively easily, rather than being entirely static with your feet. This makes a big difference compared to other machines, where sometimes I’ve found I have to make sure that I’m comfortable before starting a session.

In terms of the ergometer measurements, you can see plenty of detail on the display. You are given:

• your stroke count,
• the total number of strokes,
• the time you’ve spent exercising and
• a calorie count.

There are also a number of workout programs that are based on burning calories, as well as stroke based sessions. The machine is well worth the cost, as in my view it must be one of the best in its price range – I can only compare with more expensive machines, and this one stands up very favourably.
