Hydraulic Rowers

Looking for the Best Quiet Rowing Machine?

Hydraulic piston rowers use hydraulic pistons to provide resistance. Although the resistance on hydraulic piston resistance rowers can be easily adjusted by turning a knob, most hydraulic rowers provide an arm workout rather than a full-body workout.

This is largely attributable to the fact that the handles on most piston-resistance rowers are compact due to the shorter range of motion and fixed handlebars. Therefore, they tend to provide a less-natural stroke.

Hydraulic Rowing Machine Benefits

The advantages of these hydraulic rowers include relative affordability and compact size compared to other types of rowers. Many hydraulic rowers can also be folded up for easy storage.

 Since each arm works out independently, hydraulic rowers can be great for correcting muscle imbalances and rehab.  They are also extremely affordable, quiet, and compact making them easy to store and hence ideal for use in smaller spaces.

 However, the build quality can be a bit lower compared to other models and this means that they might not be a good choice for heavy and very tall users. Hydraulic piston rowing machines are typically ideal for beginners, intermediate users, and elderly rowers.
