Product Overview & Specs

A Coach and a personal trainer in one! Great magnetic rowing, plus upper-body strength training, plus an advanced LCD console with pre-set, gym-quality programming. Like the Coach, the Ergo Coach uses Kettlers rigid manufacturing standards to produce top-shelf smooth, silent rowing motion and 16 great upper-body exercises (padded backboard included!). Also like the Coach, the Ergo Coach includes heart rate monitoring (by a wireless chest strap). From there, the electronic upgrades are worthy of your favorite health club elliptical: push-button resistance control, pre-set programming that automatically adjusts resistance; heart rate recovery programs, and a monitor that allows you to set limits on pulse rate, stroke rate, etc.

• Performance Monitor - The Ergo Coach's PC-interface console is among the fitness industry's best. A jumbo LCD measures time, number of oar strokes, speed of strokes, calories burned, room temperature, total miles, pulse rate, and automatic measurement of recovery pulse with fitness mark from 1-6. Other settings include: speed of strokes with acoustic signal (may be switched on); optimum pulse-rate range; display of age with automatic pulse range for fat burning and fitness zone; and display of upper pulse range in proportion to pre-set upper pulse limit. Monitor includes push-button control of 15 resistance levels and eight training programs, some of which automatically adjust resistance.
• Resistance Adjustment - The Ergo Coach features push-button control of 15 resistance levels ranging from 25-400 Watts. Resistance runs on an electro-magnetic eddy-current brake system. Some programs adjust resistance according to heart rate, which is provided with the free wireless chest strap.
• Resistance Type - The Ergo Coach operates on smooth electro-magnetic resistance, which works in virtual silence through any of the rower's 15 resistance levels. For those who may want to use a rower while watching TV or who live in a multiple-dwelling building where others might be disturbed by loud noise, magnetic resistance is a great alternative to air resistance. A secondary benefit of a magnetic resistance is its compact dimensions; it eliminates the need for a bulky flywheel.
• Upper Body Exercises - The Ergo Coach includes 16 upper-body strength exercises to train the shoulders, biceps, triceps, back, abs, and more. The rower comes with a free padded backboard for your workout comfort, and its slip-resistant feet keep the machine stable during your standing exercises. Isolate shoulder and back muscles from a standing position; build bicep strength in the seated position.
• Seat - The Ergo Coach's seat is wide and contoured to provide excellent, comfortable, space-efficient support. The seat travels along a snag-free channel to ensure smooth, even motion at all times.
• Footrest - The Ergo Coach features wide, articulated, non-slip footrests with easy-adjust straps.
• Handle - The handle includes comfortable wrapped hand grips that help protect your hands from blisters and abrasion during your workout.
• Floor Protectors - The Ergo Coach features anti-slip floor protectors to provide maximum floor contact and help keep the machine stable during standing upper-body exercises. These large blocks help keep the Ergo Coach stable and anchored and protect your floor against scratches and marks. We do recommend a protective mat in addition to the floor protectors to help keep your tile, carpet, or wood floor in pristine condition.
• Storage - At 71 in. long, the Ergo Coach is a relatively compact full-size rower. It does not fold for storage, but its narrow, low-profile frame will not take up much space against a wall.
