ICON Health & Fitness前身为1977年成立的Weslo公司，在1994年更名为ICON（爱康）。ICON最广为人知的是折叠式储存Treadmill，其Space Saver技术推动了家用Gym equipment的发展，而后来生产的Nordic TrackTreadmill成为United States空军一号（总统专机）上的跟机设备。此外，ICON旗下拥有Pro Form、IFit等十多个子品牌，产品涵盖Treadmill、登山机、Exercise bikes、Elliptical、综合力量训练器、运动小件、智能穿戴设备以及交互式云端服务等。
 
According to the 2014 SMRG Sporting Goods Market Research Report, ICON has a 56% market share in the United States. In terms of enterprise scale and market share, ICON is an upstream brand among American sports equipment manufacturers and distributors, and its comprehensive strength is strong. Given the company's focus on treadmills, rowing machines are on the margins. In the face of the concept 2, WaterRower and other leading manufacturers in the industry dedicated to the development of rowing machines, the professional degree of ICON rowing machine technology is not high, so the choice of magnetron, wind resistance rowing machine and other mid-range types to enter the market, take the popular route. At present, there are only three rowing machines on sale at ICON, priced at 1999 to 4999 yuan.
 
Among them, the Pro Form series is more cost-effective, with two models to choose from: 440R and R600. The 440R, priced at 1999 yuan, is an entry-level magnetron rowing machine, which requires 8 levels of resistance adjustment manually, and adopts a steel frame and monorail design, which is more conventional. What makes it special is that the user can lift the rope and stand up to exercise the biceps. In addition, the SpaceSaver foldable design allows the floor area to be less than 0.4 square meters, and is equipped with moving wheels for easy storage.
 
The R600, priced at 3699 yuan, is a monorail wind resistance rowing machine, with 5 levels and 10 levels of resistance range. When the wind wheel rotates, the air is sucked in from the front of the bellows, forming resistance inside, and then escaping from the small holes on the side of the bellows, forming a one-way gas channel, and the silent effect under normal use is better than that of the general wind resistance rowing machine. However, in terms of sports experience, the sense of variable resistance is not obvious.
 
The Nordic Track series has only one Rx800 priced at 4999 yuan, which is a monorail wind resistance rowing machine, and the configuration and performance are the best in the ICON rowing machine product line. In terms of resistance device, the RX800 is equipped with an SMR magnetron design compared to the R600, which can carry out 5 levels of manual resistance adjustment, and is relatively quiet when paddling. In addition, its LCD panel angle adjustable and other details are in place, compatible with Bluetooth iFit, heart rate chest strap, there are 20 training programs, equipped with a sound system, rich experience, but can not be linkedAPP, lack of interactive functions such as online rowing competition, the degree of intelligence is slightly inferior to other first-line sports brands in the same industry.
