Overview Of The Tunturi R25 Rowing Machine

For someone looking for an affordable and reliable rower, the Tunturi R25 Rowing Machine may just be the answer. The R25 Rowing Machine’s simplicity and compact design, combined with its wide range of available features, makes it an attractive option for newer rowers. Even experienced rowers will find the R25 a solid option but may look for a higher-priced model with a few extra features. Most people would agree that the Tunturi R25 rower is quite comfortable with ergonomically-designed, injection molded, and adjustable seating. Perhaps most importantly, the R25 is pre-programmed so that beginners do not have to worry about manual program entry, a worrisome and sometimes difficult task. As always, Tunturi is very reliable about their warranty program and the unit comes with a lifetime frame warranty (plus three years for parts) and even offers labor on the unit for the first year. With the warranty and its solid, intelligent construction, you should feel fairly comfortable in your buying decision if you purchase the Tunturi R25.

The R25 Rower In Detail

The R25 Rowing machine has a very small footprint for a rower. As long as you can meet the length requirement (79”) then you should be set in your home gym/garage/bedroom. It is also foldable and weighs just over 70 pounds assembled, which is enough weight to keep your feet and the unit firmly planted on the ground, but light and portable enough for easy movement. The rower is high-quality and the magnetic railing feels smooth and natural. There are options for different resistance level but the lack of a heart monitor is noticeable. The programs are good for beginners who don’t know how high to set resistance or when to change it. The maximum resistance level is very challenging but still should probably be a little bit higher. Assembly should not be terribly difficult and the materials are obviously higher quality. The steel in particular feels much more finished, polished, and rounded out than the steel in many exercise machine base frames today. Considering all of these points, most beginners will probably find the Tunturi R25 rower to be exactly what they were looking for in terms of a rower because it has all of the basics.
