The NordicTrack RW300 is a home-use rowing machine designed to provide an effective exercise for increasing cardiovascular fitness, building endurance, and toning the body. It offers a convenient and private way to engage in rowing exercise.
The rower operates by simulating the motion of rowing, engaging multiple muscle groups for a full-body workout. Users sit on a seat that slides along a rail, place their feet in adjustable footrests, and pull a row bar connected to a resistance mechanism. The console provides various workout modes and displays exercise feedback, allowing users to monitor their progress and adjust workout intensity.
The RW300 console offers a range of features to enhance workouts. It can be used in manual mode, where users can adjust the resistance of the row bar with a touch of a button. The console displays continuous exercise feedback, including calories burned, calories per hour, distance, pulse (with a compatible heart rate monitor), resistance level, strokes, strokes per minute, speed, time, watts, and 500-meter split time. The display has a scan mode that cycles through workout information, which can also be customized to show only desired metrics. The console can be paused and resumed, and it automatically turns off after a period of inactivity to save power.
In addition to manual mode, the console includes a selection of onboard workouts. These workouts automatically change the resistance of the row bar, guiding users through effective exercise sessions. There are Calorie, Time, and Interval workouts, each divided into one-minute segments with programmed resistance levels. Users can manually override the resistance during these workouts if needed.
A key feature of the RW300 is its wireless technology, enabling connection to the iFIT® app on a smart device via Bluetooth. With an iFIT subscription, users can access a vast library of destination and studio workouts, where iFIT trainers automatically control the row bar's resistance. The iFIT app also allows users to create their own workouts, track results, and access many other features. To connect, users press the iFIT Sync button on the console and follow the app's instructions.
The console's viewing angle is adjustable by loosening a knob, raising or lowering the neck, and then tightening the knob. A tablet holder is integrated into the console, designed to securely hold most full-size tablets, allowing users to follow iFIT workouts or enjoy other media during exercise.
For audio entertainment, the console features a sound system. Users can connect a personal audio player to the console's jack using a 3.5 mm audio cable (not included) to listen to music or audio books. The volume can be adjusted using buttons on the console or the audio player's controls.
The rower is designed for convenient storage. It can be folded into an upright position to conserve space. To store, the seat is slid to the rear of the rail, the rail handle is pulled inward until the folding clamp engages the stabilizer bar, and then the rower is tipped forward onto its shields and storage feet. To unfold, users place a foot on a stabilizer foot, pull the rail handle outward to disengage the clamp, and lower the rail to the floor. The rower also has wheels for easy movement in both unfolded and folded positions. When moving the rower, it is important to avoid holding or pulling the console.
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and to reduce wear. Users should inspect and properly tighten all parts each time the rower is used and immediately replace any worn parts with manufacturer-supplied components.
Cleaning the rower involves using a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. It is important to keep liquids away from the console and protect it from direct sunlight to prevent damage. For best results, the rail, seat carriage, and carriage rollers should be cleaned daily.
For console troubleshooting, if the console does not turn on, users should ensure the power adapter is fully plugged in. If a replacement power adapter is needed, only a manufacturer-supplied regulated power adapter should be used to avoid damaging the console.
If the console does not display correct feedback, the reed switch may need adjustment. This involves locating the reed switch and magnet within the left flywheel, slightly loosening the screws, sliding the reed switch closer to or away from the magnet, and then retightening the screws until correct feedback is displayed.
The manual also provides guidelines for exercise, including warming up, training zone exercise, and cooling down, as well as suggested stretches to help users maintain flexibility and prevent post-exercise problems.
