It's no surprise that the NordicTrack RW900 Rower has made it into our top list as a top-of-the-line indoor rower. 

It brings iFit trainers as personal rowing coaches into your home via the NordicTrack iFit experience. The 1-year iFit family membership is included in the price.

Sporting an impressive rotating Smart HD Touchscreen means you've never been part of a more immersive experience, bringing studio workouts home to you.

The ace up the RW900 Rower sleeve is the 2 forms of resistance it has. Every iFit workout features Automatic Trainer Control where world-class trainers adjust your rower's digital resistance, offering a constantly challenging workout. 

Alternatively, if you like to be in the driver's seat, you can adjust your workout intensity level with manual air resistance with 26 digital resistance levels.

Rowing with confidence has never been easier, with the oversized, pivoting pedals with quick release, adjustable foot straps that keep you secure whilst you row around the world. 

The ergonomic molded seat keeps your tush comfortable, so the only thing that should be testing your patience is your workout resistance level.

The RW900 Rower comes fully equipped with Bluetooth Headphone Connectivity, allowing you to drown out all the noise and focus on your iFit trainers or your music and enjoy the hum of the silent magnetic resistance.

Designed with innovative SpaceSaver technology, allows the RW900 Rower to vertically fold for easy storage. 

That's not all, you get access to in-depth workout stats telling you how effective your workouts are, allowing you to constantly improve.

The icing on the cake is the RW900 Rower supports up to 4 adult profiles, allowing you to share the sweat and elation with the whole family. The family race starts here with this impressive smart rower!
