RESTRAINTS/CHALLENGES

High Prices Associated with Rowing Machines

• Rowing machines are well-known fitness equipment that is used for full-body workouts. Through performing workout on rowing machines, one can train a majority of muscles, keeps the heart strong, and aid in weight loss. However, the high price is one of the major drawbacks related to rowing machines. The majority of the price is related to the production cost of the equipment. Various raw materials such as steel, iron, rubbers, and leather are required to build fitness equipment such as rowing machines. Steel prices are volatile in nature that are affected by the supply-demand or geopolitical situations that are occurring across the globe. Moreover, the prices of coking coal, which is a key raw material to manufacture steel, are volatile in nature. The lack of raw materials due to increased demand has caused the cost of rowing machines to go up. Rowing machines are not popular when compared to other fitness equipment, such as cycling bikes and treadmills, which makes the cost of rowing machines scale up. Also, the cost of rowing machines increases due to the high logistics costs. The freight costs are high due to the volatile price of crude oil and the shortage of containers, which contributes to the high cost of logistics.

Availability of Other Fitness Equipment and Various Exercises

• Although rowing machines have various advantages associated with them, there are a few drawbacks associated with them. They require a large area due to the flywheel or tank, rails, and the necessity for enough space for a full extension of arms and legs.
