Tunturi R30 Rowing Machine Review

The Fins are serious about their rowing, and Tunturi upholds that tradition with the Tunturi R30 Rowing Machine.

The Tunturi is a nice rowing machine that has a lot of features for the money. Similar to the Kettler Coach rowing machine, the Tunturi uses silent magnetic resistance that provides a smooth, consistent workout.

One thing to note about the magnetic resistance: If you are looking for a rowing machine that will seamlessly mimic rowing in water, the rowers with magnetic resistance should not be your first choice as the resistance from these machines is constant at every effort level.

There are several things to like about the Tunturi rowing machine like the double rail seat glide system, good computer and pulse rate measurement...

Tunturi Rowing Machine Key Features and Benefits

  • double rail seat suspension system
  • console tracks every workout element: time, distance, heart-rate profile, calories burned, strokes per minute, heart rate, humidity, room temperature
  • hand grip pulse heart-rate measurement
  • 3 years frame, parts and labor

Where the Tunturi falls short, is when you match it up against the Kettler Coach rowing machine. The Kettler has all the features of the Tunturi (magnetic resistance, good computer) and adds 16 muscle building exercises you can perform with the standard added board, and the lifetime warranty on the frame (Tunturi only has 3 years).

You can't go too far wrong getting a Tunturi Rowing Machine, but for the same money I would get the Kettler Coach instead...
