If you are looking for a good home fitness machine, the Model D is a great choice. It’s time-tested and built to withstand institutional use, so it will provide years of use in a home setting with the minimal suggested maintenance. It comes standard with the Performance Monitor 3 (PM3), or you can choose to upgrade to the Performance Monitor 4 (PM4).

If you are training at home to row or race on the water, consider the Dynamic.

The Model D is well-suited to rowing clubs and schools, many of which have a number of older Model Ds already. In addition, the lower cost may make it possible to purchase more indoor rowers. (You can purchase 3 Model Ds for roughly the price of 2 Model Es). Many schools and clubs are now opting for the Model D/PM4 combo to take advantage of the racing capabilities the PM4 offers.

The PM4 is an ideal fit for running races with up to eight PM4-equipped machines. No extra equipment is required and kids love it! You can purchase six Model Ds with PM4s for the price of five Model Es and use the money you save to upgrade the monitors on your older indoor rowers to PM4s.

The Dynamic Indoor Rower, introduced in December 2010, is another option for rowing teams to consider. The Dynamic was designed to be more similar to rowing on the water and promotes good rowing habits. Two or more Dynamics can easily be linked together for training timing of movements within a team boat. For team training, the Model D and Model E can also be connected via Slides (sold separately).
