Technogym Skillrow rowing machine used

The Technogym Skillrow is a premium rowing machine that combines two worlds: you row on air resistance for your cardio and switch at the push of a button to power mode for explosive strength training. That MULTIDRIVE technology makes this indoor rower more than just a cardio machine, suited to the demanding home athlete and to semi-professional spaces such as a studio or personal-training area. The Aquafeel handle also gives you the realistic feel of rowing on water.

Please note: this is a used machine. Our technicians have thoroughly inspected it and it is in very good condition.

Technogym Skillrow at a glance

• MULTIDRIVE technology: row for your fitness and switch to power mode for strength and power, two workouts in one machine.
• Air resistance with 10 levels: the resistance builds with your pulling force and is finely adjustable, from steady endurance work to punchy intervals.
• Aquafeel handle: mimics the dynamics of rowing on water for a natural, smooth rowing feel.
• 7 inch display, self-powered: the bright screen is driven by your own movement, so you do not need a power socket.
• App and connectivity: pair via Bluetooth and ANT+ with the Skillrow App and mywellness for virtual trainers, races and your progress.
• Rated up to 160 kg: suitable for users from 150 to 210 cm and built for intensive, regular use.

Two workouts in one: MULTIDRIVE

Where an ordinary rowing machine trains only your cardio, the Skillrow adds a second dimension with MULTIDRIVE. In rowing mode you work on your endurance using air resistance, with ten levels you set precisely. Switch to power mode and extra resistance is added across three levels, letting you make explosive, strength-focused pulls. That way you train both aerobically and anaerobically within the same session, ideal for intervals and strength endurance.

Realistic rowing feel

The air resistance responds instantly to your effort: the harder you pull, the heavier the stroke. The Aquafeel handle completes that feel by mimicking the dynamics of rowing on water, so every stroke feels smooth and natural. That makes longer sessions more pleasant and helps you keep your technique clean. For anyone after the feel of rowing outdoors without a water tank, this is a strong choice.

Screen, app and ease of use

The 7 inch display with high contrast and backlighting is powered by your own movement, so the Skillrow works without a power socket and you can put it anywhere. Via Bluetooth and ANT+ you connect a heart rate belt and pair with the Skillrow App and the mywellness platform. There you follow guided workouts with virtual trainers, take on race challenges and keep detailed overviews of your sessions. A phone holder keeps your screen within reach.

Who it is for and which space

The Skillrow is made for anyone who trains seriously and intensively, at home in a well-equipped home gym or in a light commercial setting. Count on a fixed spot: at a length of 243.5 cm and a weight of 61 kg, this is a machine that stays put where you place it. It suits users from 150 to 210 cm and up to 160 kg, and the levelling foot lets you set it up steadily on an uneven floor.

Good to know

The Skillrow sits in the higher segment and targets athletes who want more than just cardio. If you are after a simple, compact rowing machine for occasional use, this is a sizeable investment. If instead you want a versatile machine that combines cardio and strength with a realistic rowing feel and extensive app training, the Skillrow is exactly that. Bear the length in mind and set aside enough room to take a full stroke.

Frequently asked questions about the Technogym Skillrow

What is MULTIDRIVE and what do I get from it?

MULTIDRIVE lets you both row and strength train on one machine. In rowing mode you work on your fitness using air resistance, in power mode you add extra resistance for explosive, strength-focused pulls. That way you combine aerobic and anaerobic training in one session. This makes the Skillrow more versatile than a standard rowing machine.

Does the Skillrow row on water or on air?

The Skillrow works with air resistance, not with a water tank. The Aquafeel handle does mimic the dynamics of rowing on water, so you get a realistic, smooth water feel. This way you combine the low maintenance of air resistance with a natural rowing feel. There is no topping up or emptying of water needed.

Do I need a power socket?

No, the 7 inch display is powered by your own rowing movement. This means the Skillrow needs no power socket and you can place it freely. As soon as you start rowing, the screen lights up and shows your data. That makes the setup flexible.

Can I train with apps and a heart rate belt?

Yes, the Skillrow connects via Bluetooth and ANT+ with a heart rate belt and with the Skillrow App and the mywellness platform. There you follow workouts with virtual trainers, take on race challenges and view detailed overviews. This keeps your training varied and measurable.

How much space do I need?

Bear in mind the dimensions of 243.5 x 62.9 x 128 cm plus room to move behind you to take a full stroke. The machine weighs 61 kg and gets a fixed spot. Make sure the surface is flat and firm; the levelling foot corrects a slightly uneven floor. This keeps the Skillrow stable during intensive sessions.
