The Kettler Design
The Kettler’s outrigger style design emulates the organic elliptically shaped motion of the real-world rowing action. This lends itself to the natural rowing motion which serves to both stretch and develop muscle groups of not only the arms but the entire upper body, tendons and joints.
Since the exercise is performed from a sitting position, there is less stress and strain on knees and joints. As you progress in your muscle development, you can add more resistance and dial in the machine for accelerated motion.
Kettler rowing machines are available in a range of configurations to match your exercise style and space requirements of your workout area. You can choose from inexpensive and affordable models that are ultra compact and can be stowed away convenient when not in use.

The Kettler Kadett utilizes 2 hydraulic cylinder chambers to produce a uniform workout load with up to twelve unique levels of resistence.
The hydraulic technology enables the rower to deliver a powerful workout in a very compact space. The rower seat moves effortlessly throughout the range of motion while providing a hyper realistic rowing sensation. The foot plates are adjustable to your height and strap securely to minimize excess motion. The Kadett weighs approximately 66 pounds, considerably lighter than competing treadmill and elliptical designs.
