Rowing machines are generally bulky and heavy, and the truth is that the larger and heavier a rowing machine is, the better the workout you will get on it. Space might be at a premium in many people's homes, which means that the best option is to look for a rowing machine that can be folded and stored away when not in use. Our Editor's Choice, the Stamina Body Trac Glider 1050, is a good option if you don't have much space in your home, as you can fold it easily. Heavier models are a good option for those who don't plan to move the machine and keep it in a stationary position.
