Comparison Hop-Sport HS-060R vs Reebok GR Rower

The weight of the flywheel affects the stroke length of the propeller handles. The higher the weight, the more the machine can provide a higher degree of load.

Rowing machines can work with varying degrees of load. Depending on the model, the equipment can counteract the athlete's efforts both in a wide range of values (the possibility of fine-tuning the load is implied) and in the mode of stepwise load creation. The widest range of loads is created by simulators with an electromagnetic type of counteraction (see paragraph "Loading system").

The exercise machine is equipped with a folding frame which can be easily and simply folded to a compact size. This makes the storage process more convenient, since the folding design allows you to significantly reduce the geometric dimensions of the simulator. Note that the folding type of construction does not reduce the rigidity of the frame of the simulator. Changing the design does not require much effort or a special tool, the process takes only a couple of minutes.

Travel wheels allow the treadmill to be easily manoeuvred around the playground until the most suitable location for the equipment is determined. With the movement of such a simulator, a user with any level of physical fitness can cope. When the optimal place for installing the simulator is found, the wheelbase is replaced by fixed stops, that is, the rigid legs of the simulator frame.

With this mechanism, you can install the rowing machine in a perfectly flat horizontal plane, even if the base of the sports field has an uneven surface. The design of the simulator has height-adjustable supports. Usually, the simulator is placed on 4 supports. Height adjustment is carried out manually using an open-end wrench or a special clamping nut with a handle. The accuracy of the level of compliance with the horizontal plane of the simulator is checked using the "level" (by the way, the "level" can be built into the frame of the simulator).

Training programs allow the athlete to purposefully carry out loads on certain muscle groups. The most common types of programs are: muscle strength training (the simulator creates an optimal load in order to quickly and effectively strengthen the main muscle groups), cardiovascular training (the simulator creates loads that can effectively strengthen the athlete’s cardiovascular system), training to increase the tone of the body, etc.

— Network. For the full-fledged operation of the simulator, a regular connection to a household electrical network with standard parameters of 230 (V) and 50 (Hz) is required. Such simulators do not depend on replaceable batteries, their cost, in comparison with other types of power supply, is low, and the power of the network is quite enough even for electromagnetic load systems.

— Battery. The uninterrupted operation of the simulator is ensured by the rechargeable battery, which is supplied with the training equipment. The battery is rechargeable. Most often, the battery is located under the cover of the simulator. To charge the battery, you need to connect the simulator to a household electrical outlet. Usually, one battery charge is enough for 10-12 hours of continuous operation of the rowing machine.

The country from which the product brand originates. The brand in this case can be described as a general designation by which the goods of a particular manufacturer are known in the market. The country of its origin does not always coincide with the actual place of production of the product: to reduce the cost of production, many modern companies transfer it to other countries. It is quite normal for products, for example, of an American or German brand, to be made in Taiwan or Turkey. Contrary to popular belief, this in itself does not lead to a decrease in the quality of the goods — it all depends on how carefully the brand owner controls the production. And many companies, especially large and "famous", monitor the quality very zealously — after all, their reputation depends on it.

The dimensions of the equipment in the assembled and ready to work state. It is important to note that in fact more space is needed for comfortable and proper operation of the simulator.
