Founded in 1922 in Finland, Tunturi invented the world's first single-cylinder hydraulic rower, heart rate training treadmill, and exercise bike with electronic watch function in the 60s of the 20th century. During this period, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles also used Tunturi's exercise bike products. In addition, Tunturi was involved in the development of the EU fitness equipment standard EN-957, which is currently owned by the world's bicycle industry giant Accell Group of the Netherlands.
 
Tunturi does not have many rowing machine products, there are 4 types of magnetoresistive type and 1 type of water resistance. Among them, the price varies according to the type of track, frame material, and monitor. For example, the Cardio Fit R30 Rower, Go Rower and R25 Rower, which cost between 2,455 and 3,499 yuan, are magnetoresistive rowing machines with an aluminum alloy monorail design, and the resistance adjustment is done by manually twisting the knob. The monitor gradually transitions from an LCD screen that only displays exercise speed, time, and calorie values to a control panel with functions such as measuring heart rate, room temperature, humidity, and setting target time. However, in the process of use, the gear of its resistance adjustment does not change obviously, and the stroke is not smooth enough and slightly stiff.
 
It is also a reluctance rowing machine, and the Pure 3.1, priced at 7699 yuan, is superior to the above three models in terms of structure and performance. It changes the aluminum alloy monorail structure to a high-specification steel double-track, which is more stable and smooth. In terms of function, in addition to the test time and distance, the data display dial also has 8 preset modes and manual modes, connected to the free heart rate chest strap, and can also measure and control heart rate data in time, making the exercise more accurate. At the handlebar, the resistance change can be controlled wirelessly, which is more convenient and flexible than manual adjustment.
 
The Pure 8.1, priced at 8899 yuan, is Tunturi's only water-resistant rowing machine. The ergonomic design is quite sufficient, with adjustable foot pedals, rubber pads and roller skates, durable and soft seat cushions, and suction cup bases, and the pulling parts are thickened and widened nylon belts, covered by foam, which are comfortable to hold. However, at this price point, First Degree Fitness' Horizontal series Apollo AR Black Indoor Rower is already a dual-track metal structure, while Tunturi still uses a steel monorail structure, and the overall performance is decent, so it does not reflect the competitiveness of the product.
