Product Overview

I recently had the pleasure of testing the Sunny Health Fitness SF RW5801 Magnetic Rowing Machine. I was quite impressed with its build quality, features and overall performance.

The SF RW5801 features a heavy duty alloy steel frame that can support up to 285 pounds. With its ergonomic foot pedals and adjustable straps, it provides a natural motion for users of all levels. I found that my quads were engaged as I propelled my legs back and forth on the pivoting foot pedals. The handlebar is designed to be slip resistant to ensure a secure grip, while the large padded seating smoothly glides along the 43 inch slide rail inseam.

The SF RW5801 also features 16 levels of magnetic tension for a challenging workout with virtually no maintenance. This allows you to adjust your intensity as you go, making it perfect for beginners and experienced rowers alike. I really liked being able to switch up the resistance level in order to vary my workouts and keep them interesting.

The LCD monitor displays all your fitness stats, including scan, time, count, calories, and total count. It s great for tracking your progress over time or just seeing how your workout is going in real time.

For those who are looking for an easy way to store their rowing machine when not in use, the SF RW5801 conveniently folds upright for compact storage. Its small footprint makes it ideal for smaller home gyms or apartments where space is at a premium.

All in all, I highly recommend the Sunny Health Fitness SF RW5801 Magnetic Rowing Machine for anyone looking for a high quality machine with plenty of features at an affordable price point. It s well built, easy to use and offers plenty of adjustability for users of all levels. Whether you are just starting out or looking to take your fitness game to the next level, this rower has you covered!
