The RW500 Rower is a new approach to an old-school workout. An efficient form of exercise, the rower’s core strength is focusing on yours. Quickly and smoothly adjust your resistance using the SMR Silent Magnetic Resistance. Manually change the adjustable air resistance to fine-tune your resistance or to switch the amount of cooling air you feel during your strength-building workout. You can also adjust the pedals to find the most comfortable position or to target specific muscle groups. After you finish your workout, fold up the rower using the SpaceSaver design and roll it away with the built-in transport wheels for convenient storage. Complete with an adjustable console that allows you to track your stats, including strokes, time, watts, and estimated calories burned, the RW500 is the perfect rower for you.

  • Adjustable Console Angle: Change the angle of the console to more easily view your workout stats on the built-in backlit display.
  • Inertia Enhanced Flywheel: Engineered for incredibly smooth performance, this effective inertia-enhanced flywheel delivers more natural and fluid motion.
  • Adjustable Air with SMR Silent Magnetic Resistance: Switch your resistance quickly and easily at the touch of a button with built-in SMR™ Silent Magnetic Resistance.
  • Ergonomic Molded Seat: The oversized, molded seat is plush with cushioning and easy-to-clean vinyl for the most ergonomic and comfortable experience.
  • Oversized Pivoting Pedals with Adjustable Nylon Foot Straps: Strap your feet onto the oversized pedals with adjustable nylon foot straps, which quickly release so you can easily slip your foot out of the pedals.
  • Soft Touch Ergonomic Handle: Hold onto the ergonomic handle that provides a soft grip while you work your arms and build muscle.
  • Front-Mounted Transport Wheels: Roll your rower to any location you want in your home quickly with the front-mounted transport wheels.
  • Folding SpaceSaver Design: Make the most of your space with this convenient SpaceSaver design. This patented, revolutionary design allows the rower to fold vertically for cleaning and storage.
  • 5” Backlit Display: Keep track of your workout stats with readouts that include watts, strokes per minute, total strokes, time, calories, distance, and 500 m split.
  • Auxiliary Music Port: Listen to your favorite music through dual 2-inch speakers while you row by plugging your device into the auxiliary music port.
  • 26 Digital Resistance Levels: Power your way through 26 digital resistance levels as you strengthen your core, arms, and legs and build your stamina
  • Weight Capacity: 250 Lb.
  • Warranty: The RW500 rower comes with a 10-year frame warranty, a 2-year parts warranty, and 1-year labor warranty.
  • Product Footprint: 47.1" H x 22" W x 86.5" L

Q: Is the subscription service necessary for use like with Hydrow? Or are there workouts that don't require the iFit?

A: No, you don't have to use iFit to use the machine. You can just row on your own...or we have been watching YouTube on the tablet to follow rowing instructors there. It's just a normal tablet, you can use for surfing web etc. When you do connect the iFit app to the rower though it controls the tension settings for you which is pretty nice.

Q: The description refers to it as the RW200 but under the warranty info it refers to it as the RW500? The website says it's the RW850 in the title. The photos look like it's the RW500 though. I am thoroughly confused!

A: I strongly suspect that the model number RW850 is incorrect. I can only find this model for sale in the UK and AUS. It does not appear on NordicTrack's US website, but is on their UK website. https://www.nordictrack.co.uk/rowing-machines/nordictrack-rw850-rower

Q: Does it come with the tablet like on Nodictrack website?

A: Yes, it comes with the 10-inch Android tablet to redeem and use the free 1-yr iFit subscription.

Q: Could you tell me the difference in features on the RW 200 compared to the RW 500 model? Thanks

A: Mark2021 We appreciate your interest in our rowers. The NordicTrack RW500 Rower has a 5” Backlit Display to keep track of your workout stats with readouts that include watts, strokes per minute, total strokes, time, calories, distance, and 500 m split. The RW200 is still a great machine, but it has a smaller display and a slightly smaller flywheel size and weight than the RW500. We are here to help if you have more questions. Thanks! - ProForm

Q: What is the size when folded?

A: When folded, the RW500 Rower is 50.5 inches long, 21 inches wide, and 48.5 inches tall.

Q: Does it come with the 10" tablet like on Nodictrack website?

A: Yes, it came with an Android tablet with the iFit app already downloaded

Q: What product support do you provide when the rower starts making horrible squeaking a squealing noises. Would LOVE to hear the response.

A: Good luck getting NT to fix it. If you want to DIY you’ll need a 22mm crank puller and a 9/16 washer. Pull off the wheel, carefully move the tension arm, remove the Allen bolts holding the magnet arm in, put the washer on the axle of the magnet arm and then test to see if it now has enough clearance to not rub the wheel.

Q: Hello - I'm wondering if the 250 lb weight is a 'hard' limitation; I'm currently at 265 and losing weight but will be awhile until I get to 250 lb. Thanks much! Mark

A: MagicMarker3927 Hi there! Our maximum weight capacity is the highest weight we have run our quality management testing on this equipment. This rower may handle a higher weight successfully. However, this is the highest capacity we will warrant. Therefore, if this machine is used above the maximum weight capacity recommendation and damage occurs, the warranty may become void. If you have further questions, email us at [email protected]. Thanks - NordicTrack
