Bodycraft VR100 rowing machine

Date Published: 4/10/06

The Bodycraft VR100 rowing machine is a compact yet sturdy piece of home fitness equipment.

The 44 inches of travel space from the pedals means that this rowing machine should accommodate even the tallest users and the contoured seat is comfortable enough to keep you rowing during long workouts. Importantly, the operating motion is smooth and quiet.

The VR100 offers 6 levels of resistance with level 1 offering air resistance and levels 2 to 6 offering air and magnetic resistance. The console displays important data such as time, distance traveled, number of strokes, calories burned and heart rate, although the heart monitor chest strap is an optional extra. The VR100 folds for easy storage when not in use, but the test of any piece of home fitness equipment is how motivated you'll be to regularly unfold it and use it to workout.

The Bodycraft VR100 rowing machine is a high quality rowing machine, but since there are no preprogrammed workouts it is better suited to self-motivated exercisers.
