Review: Kettler Coach E Indoor Rower



Kettler Coach E Indoor Rower

Decades of manufacturing quality rowers have culminated with the development of our new high performance Coach E rower. The eSYS System combines ergonomics, mechanics and electronics to produce maximum benefits suitable for everyone, beginners to experts. The Coach E rower works more muscle groups and puts the body through a wider range of motion than any other type of cardiovascular equipment. The smooth eddy-current magnetic resistance system of the Coach E rower works on the principal that the greater the energy in the drive stroke, the resistance automatically matches the force in tandem. The precise calibration of the resistance system in conjunction with the user’s ability to then see their true performance instantaneously is only part of what sets the Coach E apart from other rowers on the market. Beyond rowing, the Coach E provides 16 additional training exercises - Made in Germany.
