BY Flavio Holstein

At AUGLETICS, we are proud to introduce the newest member of our rowing machine family: the AUGLETICS Eight Sport, offered at an entry-level price of 1,990 euros. Our goal is to make effective home training accessible to a wider audience, and we believe this model does exactly that.

The new AUGLETICS
We have decided to omit the Virtual Coach and use a smaller display in this model to offer you a more cost-effective option. After all, rowing is known as one of the healthiest sports you can practice at home, as it activates up to 85% of your muscles. It combines strength and endurance training in a way that is not only efficient but also easy on the joints and particularly beneficial for the back. The AUGLETICS Eight Sport optimally supports these healthy training effects.

Equipped with a 10.1-inch touchscreen, the device offers access to a variety of features, including interactive training programs and diverse entertainment options through streaming services. At the same time, the device stays true to our brand values: it is compact, quiet, and easy to handle, perfectly suited for any living room. We also manufacture the Eight Sport in Germany to guarantee the highest quality and durability. We are convinced that our latest model will not only meet your training requirements but also exceed your expectations in terms of user-friendliness and design.

AUGLETICS Style or Sport?
Whether you choose the sporty flair of the AUGLETICS Eight Sport or the elegant touch of the AUGLETICS Eight Style, one thing is certain: training at home will never be the same again. Choose your partner for your fitness goals and let yourself be inspired by the quality and innovation of AUGLETICS.

AUGLETICS wishes you an enjoyable rowing experience! Feel free to take a photo of the new features and tag us on social media!
