What is the PM5 Performance Monitor and what features does it offer?
The PM5 Performance Monitor is the advanced display unit on the RowErg. It tracks key metrics like time, distance, strokes per minute, calories burned, and heart rate (with a compatible chest strap). It also offers wireless connectivity to apps, Bluetooth and ANT+ compatibility, and preset workouts to keep your training varied and challenging.
Can I use my smartphone or tablet while rowing?
Yes! The RowErg includes an integrated device holder that securely holds your smartphone or tablet in place. This allows you to follow along with rowing apps, watch videos, or track your workout without needing to hold your device.
How difficult is it to assemble the RowErg?
The RowErg comes partially pre-assembled for easier setup. Most users can assemble it in about 30-45 minutes with basic tools. The machine arrives in two main pieces (the frame and the flywheel assembly), which are connected during setup. Detailed instructions and a video guide are included.
Is the RowErg suitable for users of all heights and fitness levels?
The RowErg has a 14-inch seat height, making it accessible for most users. The adjustable footrests and ergonomic handle accommodate a wide range of body sizes and fitness levels. It’s also low-impact, making it ideal for rehabilitation or users with joint concerns.
How much space do I need to store the RowErg when not in use?
The RowErg can be separated into two compact pieces for easy storage. The main frame measures approximately 8 feet long when assembled, but when broken down, each piece is about 4 feet long. It can stand vertically against a wall or be stored under a bed, making it ideal for home gyms with limited space.
How noisy is the RowErg during use?
The RowErg is designed for quiet operation. The flywheel system minimizes noise, making it suitable for use in apartments or shared living spaces. While it does produce some sound during rowing, it’s significantly quieter than many other cardio machines like treadmills or ellipticals.
