Rowers have been around for quite a long time now and they've evolved into very complex machines, which help users mimic to a very high extent the experience they'd enjoy while rowing in real life, on a real river, for example, without any of the disadvantages. And that's also the case with the particular model you're about to see as follows, namely the R700, presented by the UK-based company York Fitness, which offers certain advanced features at a fairly affordable price point.



The device employs a combo of magnets and air resistance, as well as an aluminum seat track, which help it provide a very good and smooth rowing action. Additionally, the rowing handle is height adjustable, so users can row in the most comfortable position, and the device even features a retractable seat track and heavy duty pivoting footplates, which allow users to easily store the device away whenever they're not using it.



Furthermore, pretty much in the same way as any modern sports accessory, the R700 has been equipped with a computer, which provides several very useful indications, such as the time, time/500m, the distance, the number of calories and the stroke index.



Unfortunately, this thing hasn't been built to support just about any user, so people weighing more than around 115 kilos should not use the R700, but in stead turn to a more solid product.



Furthermore, the device is easy to store and use just about anywhere around the house. That's because the R700 Rower measures 178 cm x 48 cm x 62 cm while in use, and 125 cm x 48 cm x 62 cm while folded. As expected, the rower is not exactly lightweight, but it's not too heavy, either, as it weighs around 28 kilos.



The R700 Rower from York Fitness sells for around 400 pounds sterling (685 US dollars, give or take a few), which is not a huge sum to pay, especially given the fact that this thing could prove extremely useful in keeping its users healthy and fit.
