R300

Endurance by Body-Solid Air Rower

In Stock

The best-value air rower in Australia โ€” commercial-grade build and true air resistance, designed for serious training at home without the premium price tag.

The Endurance by Body-Solid R300 is a self-generating air rower with a steel frame, nickel-plated chain drive and a user weight rating of 149 kg. It delivers the same effort-scaling air resistance found in the rowers used by CrossFit boxes and performance gyms โ€” now with Bluetooth so you can track every session in Kinomap, EXR and D-Fit. No subscription, no power outlet required.

  • Commercial-grade build: 36.8 kg steel frame and a nickel-plated chain drive (not a belt), rated to a 149 kg user weight and backed by a lifetime in-home frame warranty.
  • True air resistance: resistance scales automatically with how hard you pull โ€” the realistic rowing feel that magnetic machines can't reproduce.
  • Smart tracking, no subscription: Bluetooth console connects to Kinomap, EXR and D-Fit, with 8 built-in programs and Polar 5.3 Hz heart-rate compatibility.
  • Self-generating: the console powers itself as you row โ€” no power point needed, place it anywhere.
  • Quiet and storable: precision flywheel engineered to minimise noise; separates into 2 pieces and/or stands upside down for easy storage.

The R300 delivers effective low-impact cardio and a true total-body workout. The rowing movement drives high-intensity, calorie-burning cardio while working the quadriceps, hamstrings, abdominals, obliques, lats, biceps, triceps, hip flexors and more.

User-controlled air resistance puts you in full control for a balanced, coordinated workout, and the self-generating design eliminates any power requirement for use in home or commercial settings. A precision-engineered flywheel minimises noise, while the nickel-plated chain offers outstanding durability in even the most intense environments. A textured, ergonomic handle keeps your hands and arms in a natural position, fully adjustable footrests keep you secure, and an integrated holder keeps your phone in view for entertainment or tracking.

The interactive Bluetooth console reports time, heart rate, calories, paddle width, stroke rate, distance, cycle and watts, connects to the Kinomap, EXR and D-Fit apps, and is Polar-compatible (any 5.3 Hz chest-belt monitor will pair; chest belt sold separately). Eight programs are built in โ€” Quick Start, Distance, Time, Calories, Game and Intervals (20/10, 10/20, 10/10) โ€” across 9 resistance levels.

Ideal for home, commercial and group-training settings. Pair it with the FB300B Air Bike and Best Fitness power racks to round out any cross-training space.

Is the R300 a good alternative to a Concept2?
Many of our customers cross-shop the Concept2 RowErg and choose the R300 for the value. Both use air resistance, so the effort-scaling feel is the same; the R300 pairs that with a commercial-grade steel frame and nickel-plated chain at roughly half the price (R300 $940 vs Concept2 ~$1,705, June 2026). If you want benchmark competition data, the Concept2 leads; if you want true air rowing and commercial build at the best price, the R300 is the value pick.

Is the R300 stable enough for tall or heavier users?
Yes. It's rated to a 149 kg user weight with a long 119 cm seat rail and a heavy steel frame. Reviewers up to 6'1" / 120 kg report a rock-solid, wobble-free stroke.

Is air resistance better than magnetic?
Air resistance scales with your effort โ€” pull harder and it pushes back harder โ€” which gives a more realistic, dynamic rowing feel. Magnetic resistance stays flat at a set level. Air is what serious and competitive rowers train on.

Is it noisy?
Like all air rowers, the flywheel produces a fan-like "whoosh" under load. The R300's flywheel is engineered to keep that to a minimum, but it isn't silent the way a magnetic rower is.

Does it need to be plugged in?
No. The R300 is self-generating โ€” the console powers itself as you row, so you can place it anywhere.

Can I track my workouts and connect apps?
Yes. The Bluetooth console connects to Kinomap, EXR and D-Fit, and pairs with Polar-compatible 5.3 Hz heart-rate chest belts (sold separately).

Is it hard to assemble or store?
Assembly is straightforward โ€” comparable to flat-pack furniture โ€” and it ships as a single box. It separates into 2 pieces and/or stands upside down for easy storage between sessions.

Where does it ship from and how long does delivery take?
It ships free from our Adelaide warehouse (Woodville North, SA 5012). Orders are dispatched the next business day, with delivery typically 3โ€“8 business days to metropolitan areas.
