Used Rowing Machines

Looking for a rowing machine for your home gym or for your business space? Then go for a second-hand rowing machine. These are much more affordable than a new model, so you can save considerable money. In our range you will find demo models and used rowing machines, suitable for both private and professional use. Every second-hand rower is thoroughly inspected by our specialists and parts are replaced where necessary. Moreover, you always receive a warranty period of 6 months, 1 year or even 2 years.

Our second-hand rowing machines come in different resistance variants, from water resistance rowing machines for the most natural rowing feel to magnetic resistance rowers for a quiet and precisely adjustable resistance. Prices start from around 800 euros and go up to approximately 5,000 euros. Want to view the full rowing machine range including new models? Go to all rowing machines.

What are second-hand rowing machines?

Our second-hand rowing machines have been traded in by consumers when purchasing a new or different fitness machine. Every traded-in rowing machine is thoroughly checked by our expert technicians. In addition to traded-in models, we also regularly have demo models. These rowers have barely been used and stood for demonstration in our showroom.

During inspection and overhaul, our technicians always focus on cables, chains and other crucial components. Parts that no longer meet requirements are replaced. After the overhaul, everything is thoroughly tested again so you can always count on receiving a top-quality model.

Why choose a second-hand rowing machine?

A rowing machine is a durable device that lasts for years with good maintenance. This makes second-hand rowing machines particularly attractive. The biggest advantage is the attractive price: you can save hundreds to even thousands of euros compared to a comparable new model.

In addition to the financial advantage and thorough inspection, you also always receive warranty on your second-hand rowing machine. The warranty period can be found in the product information for each machine. Also read our blog buying a rowing machine: what to look for for extensive buying guidance.

Which second-hand rowing machine suits you?

The right choice depends on your training goal, purpose of use and the desired features. The scenarios below will quickly point you in the right direction.

You want to row at home and are looking for a reliable rowing machine at an attractive price: A second-hand rowing machine for home use is the smartest starting point. A light to medium-weight model is sufficient for most home athletes. Also view our page on rowing machines for home use for more information about suitable models.

You want the most natural rowing feel for a lower price: Choose a second-hand water resistance rowing machine. Water resistance rowers are durable machines that last for decades with good maintenance. A second-hand model from a top brand gives you professional quality for a fraction of the new price.

You are looking for a quiet rowing machine for home use in an apartment: Choose a second-hand magnetic resistance rowing machine. This type produces the least noise of all rowing machine types and is ideal for home athletes who do not want to disturb others in the house or neighbours.

You want to use the rowing machine professionally in a gym, physiotherapy practice or hotel: Choose a second-hand robust model with a high usage class for intensive daily use by multiple users. Also view our range of fitness equipment for gyms and fitness equipment for physiotherapy practices for supplementary machines.

You want to consciously save and still have a Concept2 rowing machine: Second-hand Concept2 rowing machines are popular and sell quickly. A used Concept2 rower gives you professional quality for a considerably lower price than new. Check our current range regularly or come to our showroom.

Second-hand rowing machine vs. new: when do you choose which?

A second-hand rowing machine is the best choice if you want to save, are looking for a reliable model or want to test whether rowing at home suits you. A new rowing machine is the better choice if you want the latest technologies, are looking for the most extensive app connectivity or want maximum factory warranty.

What to look for when buying?

Home use or professional use

Determine in advance what purpose you are buying the rowing machine for. For home use, a light to medium-weight model with the features you consider important is sufficient. For professional use in a gym or physiotherapy practice, you need a heavier model that can withstand intensive daily use by alternating users.

Resistance system

Check which resistance system the model has. Water resistance gives the most natural feel, air resistance automatically scales with effort, magnetic resistance is the quietest and most precisely adjustable. Choose the type that best suits your training preference and situation.

Condition of cables and moving parts

With our second-hand rowing machines, cables, chains and other moving parts are always checked and replaced where necessary. If you buy a second-hand rower elsewhere, these are the first parts you should critically assess. Replacement can be costly.

Warranty

Never buy a second-hand rowing machine without warranty. With us you always receive warranty on every second-hand machine. The warranty period varies from 6 months to 2 years and can be found in the product information for the relevant machine.

Maximum user height and load

Check the maximum user height and load of the model. If you are taller than 1.95 metres, check whether the rails are long enough for a complete rowing stroke. Always choose a model with a maximum load that is well above your own body weight.

Our advice: Always buy a second-hand rowing machine from a specialist dealer who has professionally inspected the machine and offers warranty. A second-hand rowing machine via a private advertisement or marketplace offers no certainty about the condition of cables and moving parts and can turn out to be more expensive in the long run due to repair costs.

Who are second-hand rowing machines suitable for?

• Home athletes who want to purchase a rowing machine and consciously want to save on the purchase price.
• Beginners who want to test whether rowing at home suits them before investing in a new model.
• Gyms, physiotherapy practices and hotels who want to expand or renew their fitness space for a lower investment.
• Athletes looking for professional quality such as a Concept2 at an attractive price via the second-hand range.
• Rehabilitation athletes looking for a reliable low-impact cardio trainer at an affordable price. Always consult your physiotherapist first.
