Description
The Seated row machine by French Fitness Tahoe delivers commercial-grade back training with precision engineering and long-term durability. Designed for strength facilities, performance centers, and high-end home gyms, this selectorized Seated row unit allows users to target the lats, rhomboids, trapezius, and rear deltoids through smooth, controlled pulling mechanics.
Built from 11-gauge steel and finished with a durable electrostatic powder coat, the frame is engineered to withstand heavy daily use in high-traffic environments. The 1:1 pulley ratio ensures consistent resistance throughout the entire range of motion, supporting proper muscle engagement during both the pull and controlled return. A standard 212 lb weight stack accommodates most users, with an optional 308 lb upgrade available at purchase for advanced strength development.
Adjustable pull angles and multi-position angled grips allow athletes to vary hand placement and pulling path, promoting balanced back development and training versatility. Oversized, textured foot platforms provide stability and leverage, while the vertically adjustable molded seat ensures proper alignment for users from 4'11" to 6'5".
Compact yet powerful, the Seated row integrates easily into strength circuits and dedicated back-training zones. Combining durability, ergonomic comfort, and smooth performance, it delivers professional-level rowing capability at an exceptional value.
