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.
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.
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
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.
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
