Real Rowing Feel – Just Like on the Water
The water tank generates resistance using real water. With every stroke, you hear and feel the smooth glide – an authentic, fluid rowing feel that is remarkably natural and gentle on the joints.
Progressive water resistance – you set the pace
The harder and faster you pull, the higher the resistance. This allows the RA18 Pro to automatically adapt to any workout intensity – from relaxed endurance rowing to intense interval training. You can also adjust the base level via the water quantity.
Full-body workout for virtually all major muscle groups
Rowing activates legs, glutes, back, core, arms, and shoulders in one fluid movement. This ensures high calorie burn, strengthens the entire body, and trains both endurance and coordination at the same time.
Quiet, smooth operation thanks to precision ball bearings
High-quality ball bearings guide the seat quietly and smoothly along the rail. Your workout stays comfortably quiet – ideal for apartments and multi-family homes without disturbing the neighbors.
Comfort: ergonomic seat, adjustable footrests & easy-grip pull handle
The padded, ergonomically shaped seat glides smoothly on the rail, ensuring a comfortable, back-friendly seating position even during longer workout sessions.
The large footrests can be adjusted to fit any foot size. The securing straps provide a firm hold with every pull – for a powerful, controlled rowing stroke.
The ergonomically shaped handle fits securely in your hand and allows for various hand positions. The tear-resistant pull strap transfers your power directly and evenly to the water resistance.
LCD workout computer always in view
The clear LCD workout computer displays time, strokes, distance, and calorie consumption. This allows you to keep track of your progress and fitness goals throughout your entire workout.
Heart rate measurement via optional chest strap
For heart rate-based training, the RA18 Pro features an integrated receiver for compatible chest straps (optional). This allows you to train targeted in your desired heart rate zone.
Space-saving upright storage & transport rollers
The RA18 Pro is foldable. After your workout, simply store the RA18 Pro upright – it then requires very little floor space. With the integrated transport rollers, you can effortlessly move it to the side.

Natural water resistance – realistic and joint-friendly
The centerpiece of the RA18 Pro is the water tank: It generates resistance using real water, recreating the feeling of rowing on water in a particularly realistic way. Resistance increases progressively with your pulling force – pull harder, and it gets tougher. You also determine the base level via the amount of water. This allows you to train smoothly, quietly, and gently on your joints, whether for relaxed endurance rowing or intense interval training.
Full-body workout with high muscle activation
Rowing is one of the most effective forms of exercise, as it promotes endurance, strength, and coordination all at once. In a single fluid movement, your legs, glutes, back, core, arms, and shoulders work together. This leads to high calorie burn and strengthens almost the entire body – ideal for fat burning, cardiovascular training, and functional strength endurance.
Robust wooden frame & high-quality workmanship
The sturdy wooden frame ensures a stable, tip-proof stand and further dampens operating noise. In combination with the precision ball bearings of the seat rail, the RA18 Pro runs quietly and smoothly – designed for regular use in your home gym.
LCD training computer & heart rate measurement
The integrated LCD training computer clearly displays all essential data: time, rowing strokes, distance, and calorie burn. For heart-rate-based training, an optional chest strap can be paired via the integrated receiver – keeping you right in your target heart rate zone.
Comfort: ergonomic seat, adjustable footrests & easy-grip pull handle
The padded, ergonomic seat with smooth rail guidance, adjustable footrests with secure straps, and non-slip handle for various hand positions ensure pleasant workout sessions. This allows you to train comfortably for longer periods while protecting your back.
Space-saving storage & easy transport
The RA18 Pro is foldable. After your workout, simply store the RA18 Pro upright – taking up minimal floor space. Thanks to the integrated transport wheels, you can move it effortlessly. The rowing machine is suitable for user heights from approximately 130 to 205 cm and a maximum user weight of 130 kg.
