Description
The Seated Row by French Fitness Shasta is built to deliver powerful, controlled back training in commercial gyms and performance facilities. Engineered with precision biomechanics and durable construction, this selectorized Seated Row machine allows users to effectively target the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, trapezius, and rear deltoids while maintaining proper posture and alignment.
Constructed from 11-gauge commercial-grade steel and protected with an electrostatic powder-coated finish, the frame is designed for long-term durability under heavy daily use. The smooth 1:1 pulley ratio ensures consistent resistance throughout each repetition, promoting balanced muscle engagement and joint-friendly motion. A standard 212 lb weight stack provides progressive overload for most users, with an optional upgrade to 308 lbs available at purchase for advanced strength training environments.
Multi-position angled handles allow for varied grip options, enabling athletes to adjust pulling angles and better isolate different areas of the back. Oversized foot platforms provide stability and leverage during heavy sets, while the adjustable seat height accommodates users from 4'11" to 6'5" for proper biomechanics and comfort.
With its compact footprint and commercial-grade build, the Seated Row integrates seamlessly into strength circuits, athletic facilities, and premium home gyms. Designed for performance, durability, and versatility, it delivers professional back training at a competitive value.
NOTE: This is the same machine as the French Fitness Tahoe Seated Row, except black in color. No other differences. If you want this machine in silver, please click the link above.
