Description

The Seated Row by French Fitness Shasta is built to deliver powerful, controlled back training in commercial gyms and performance facilities. Engineered with precision biomechanics and durable construction, this selectorized Seated Row machine allows users to effectively target the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, trapezius, and rear deltoids while maintaining proper posture and alignment.

Constructed from 11-gauge commercial-grade steel and protected with an electrostatic powder-coated finish, the frame is designed for long-term durability under heavy daily use. The smooth 1:1 pulley ratio ensures consistent resistance throughout each repetition, promoting balanced muscle engagement and joint-friendly motion. A standard 212 lb weight stack provides progressive overload for most users, with an optional upgrade to 308 lbs available at purchase for advanced strength training environments.

Multi-position angled handles allow for varied grip options, enabling athletes to adjust pulling angles and better isolate different areas of the back. Oversized foot platforms provide stability and leverage during heavy sets, while the adjustable seat height accommodates users from 4'11" to 6'5" for proper biomechanics and comfort.

With its compact footprint and commercial-grade build, the Seated Row integrates seamlessly into strength circuits, athletic facilities, and premium home gyms. Designed for performance, durability, and versatility, it delivers professional back training at a competitive value.

NOTE: This is the same machine as the French Fitness Tahoe Seated Row, except black in color. No other differences. If you want this machine in silver, please click the link above.

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.
