Kettler Ergo Coach LS Rowing Machine (2008 Model)

The same rower/home gym combo as the Coach, with workout programs and big-time monitor upgrades: PC-interface training, integrated heart rate monitoring, push-button resistance control.

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.
