FAQs
The rowing trainer is certified in accordance with the EN 16630 safety standard for stationary outdoor fitness equipment and is intended for people taller than 140 cm.
To avoid overexertion during training you train with your own body weight on our outdoor equipment. For this reason there are no individual adjustment options on our rowing machine. Experience has shown that adjustable features on equipment in outdoor public spaces can get clogged up with dirt and sand and other materials and get jammed and are also prone to vandalism and may generally require more servicing and repair.
Our outdoor rowing-unit is supplied completely pre-assembled. While foundations are required, installation is very straightforward and for this piece of equipment there are no particular requirements for surface materials and it is possible to use concrete, stone, grass, topsoil, water-bound surface, sand, gravel, wood chips or synthetic fall protection material.
