Benefits

  • Targets Lats, Rhomboids & Traps: The Shasta Seated Row effectively develops the upper and mid-back by engaging the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, and trapezius, muscles essential for strong posture, shoulder stability, and powerful pulling strength. Each repetition also activates the biceps and forearm muscles for grip and pulling control, while the rear deltoids, core, glutes, and hamstrings work together to stabilize the body throughout the rowing motion.
  • Delivers Fluid, Controlled Movement: The cable and pulley system maintains constant tension throughout the motion, promoting safe, joint-friendly exercise while improving control and muscle activation for long-term progress.
  • Improves Training Versatility: Adjustable handle positions and seat height enable a range of movement variations, helping users target specific back regions for greater muscle isolation and workout variety.
  • Fits All Body Types: Designed to comfortably accommodate users from 4'11" to 6'5" (149.9 cm to 195.6 cm), ensuring proper positioning, stability, and ergonomic support across different body sizes and experience levels.
  • Reduces Equipment Footprint: Compact, space-saving construction integrates multiple row variations in one durable unit, ideal for commercial gyms, studios, and home fitness spaces with limited floor area.
  • Engineered for Longevity: Built from 11-gauge steel and premium materials, it offers exceptional durability and reliability, reinforced by a Lifetime Frame Warranty for complete long-term peace of mind

  • Maintenance & Durability: Nylon cables with 3000 lbs (1360 kg) tensile strength and rubber feet keep the operation stable and safe over time.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. What muscles does the French Fitness Shasta Seated Row target?

    The French Fitness Shasta Seated Row targets the upper and mid-back muscles, focusing primarily on the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, and trapezius. These muscles work together to strengthen the back, improve posture, and enhance pulling power.

    2. Can I adjust the handles or seat?

    Yes. The pull angle and seat height are fully adjustable to fit different arm lengths and exercise preferences.

    3. Can I change the grip or pulling angle?

    Yes. The adjustable handle and pull angle design allow you to customize the range and direction of each row for better engagement.

    4. What’s the difference between the Shasta and Tahoe models?

    They’re identical in every way except for color. The Shasta model is silver, while the Tahoe model is black in color.

    5. Can the weight stack be upgraded later?

    No. The 308-lb upgrade must be selected at the time of purchase because it uses a different internal stack design.
