Fitness equipment producer Technogym rolled out two new products in the Middle East, namely, the Skillmill, the company's non-motorised version of a treadmill, and the Skillrow, the company's indoor rowing equipment at The Leisure Show 2017.
Both products are part of Technogym's Skill Line portfolio, a range of new products developed in collaboration with Olympic athletes and academic research institutes.
Skillrow is the first fully connected indoor rowing equipment that trains both cardio and power at athlete's level, thanks to its sport-specific design, technology and performance-oriented workouts. According to TechnoGym, it's “the first gym rowing machine capable of improving anaerobic power, aerobic capacity and neuromuscular abilities in a single solution”.
Technogym has designed Skillrow with the intention of simulating the real act of paddling in the water, referred to as 'Aquafeel'. Skillrow resistance follows the natural stroke curve in the water and with Aquafeel, the resistance is gradual, making the movement fluid and avoiding the kicking effect on the lower back.
The new app that can be downloaded and used alongside the product can create boat races between crews, monitor individual and class performance.
