XM FITNESS Air Rower

I was looking for a air rower to go along with my other fitness equipment for my home gym. After reading the other reviews on the fitness factory website I choose the XM model. It was the same price as a treadmill that I was also interested in however I decided to go with the air rower. I highly recommended installing the support frame to the fan part first and having another person hold the fan while you install the front stabilizer. It is a lot easier with two people. The fan has a tendency to fall on it side if you try to install it by yourself. I have used it a few times and for the price I do recommend it. I purchased mine when it was on sale and chose the free home delivery. It took just over 3 weeks for the driveway drop off so if your not in a rush I would just go with that option. I live about 2.5 hours from the Barrie location and I wasn't in a rush to receive it. 5/5

Amazing rower. To my door was cheaper than a C2. Fast shipping. Console is a little glitchy but not a big deal.

Easy to put together and sturdy once assembled. It may not be a “Concept 2” but you can’t tell the difference, it is just as good and it is cheaper. Assembly couldn’t be easier: put the stand on then connect the two parts and your done. In the manual they talk about the cables but that is all done before you get it. It is a great machine and I think it will last a long time.

great rower. really enjoyable. took a bit to break in. my only cons are that the screen shuts off VERY quickly when you stop but also takes 12-15 seconds to turn on in which the screen flickers. I am getting used to it.
the more cumbersome piece was that the manual said it included a space to hold a tablet/smart phone, but I did not receive such a piece. This is disappointing and I am hoping someone can contact me with regards to this.
Seat is comfortable, the resistance is great, awesome features in terms of what is available on the menu. I enjoy this machine a lot and I am excited to continue to work out with it as we continue on into the winter.

This rower is top notch and even though I’ve never used a Concept2 I can tell you that the build quality is there - quality parts and accessories. Runs extremely smooth and quiet. Definitely worth every penny and will last a lifetime compared to bargain options!

For reference, I’ve been running for 15 years and am slowly converting to lower impact - but still cardio - workouts!
