Thank you for purchasing the MOTIVEfitness RTX8 Air Rower. In buying the RTX8

Air Rower you have become the owner of a unique training machine. The RTX8

Air Rower is the only rowing machine that uses natural air resistance, and it will 

adjust the resistance automatically to your heart beat. Before starting your training you 

can indicate on the computer the heart rate per minute at which you want to train. The 

computer will then increase or decrease the resistance during the training to increase or 

decrease the training intensity. As a result of this your heart rate will raise or lower itself 

to remain at the level that is ideal for your training, and you will attain your desired 

training goals.

The principle of air resistance of the RTX8 Air Rower gives you a realistic rowing 

experience. By pulling the handle with lesser or more intensity the resistance will be lower 

or higher. This is caused by the resolutions per minute the fly-wheel makes and the air that is 

displaced by it. This feeling is comparable with rowing on water. Furthermore this rowing 

machine has a computer that is easy to use and a modern look. Finally the rowing 

machine is easy to fold and store. 

In this instruction manual you will find all information necessary to use the rowing 

machine. Also you will find tips and advice on how to make the most of your training 

sessions. 

We advise you to carefully read this instruction manual before using the RTX8 Air 

Rower, so that you can use it safely and benefit from it maximally.

Flow Fitness wishes you many successfull and enjoyable training sessions.
