Kettler Coach rowing machine

Date Published: 9/20/06

The Kettler Coach rowing machine is more than just a German-engineered, smooth, quiet operating home rowing machine. This flexible device can also be used as a home gym capable of providing 18 different upper and lower body exercises.

As a rowing machine, the Kettler Coach offers magnetic resistance for an efficient yet quiet aerobic workout. The included chest strap monitors your heart rate as you exercise and the onboard LCD readout displays everything from time, number of strokes, speed, pulse and energy consumption to room temperature and total distance traveled.

At the end of your workout the readout will display your average pulse and average speed and then monitor your recovery pulse to calculate your fitness level on a scale of 1 to 6. The only thing the monitor lacks is the ability to store information so at the start of each workout you have to re-enter your age, weight, and workout goals, etc.

By simply changing stance or seat position the Kettler Coach switches from rowing machine to resistance gym. The Kettler Coach rowing machine is one machine that can help you achieve your fitness goals in a variety of ways.

Pros: Silent, smooth operation; sturdy design; combines a rower with home gym.
Cons: Cannot save exercise settings.
