Cardio Equipment for Home and Commercial Gyms
Build your cardiovascular fitness with cardio equipment for a wide range of training styles and fitness goals. From rowing and skiing machines to air bikes, exercise bikes and treadmills, our range includes options for steady-state cardio, interval training, endurance work and high-intensity conditioning.
Cardio Machines for Every Type of Training
Choose a rowing machine for a full-body cardio workout or use a ski machine to develop endurance through an upper-body focused ski-style movement. Air bikes combine upper and lower body movement with fan resistance, making them well suited to high-intensity intervals, while exercise bikes and studio cycles offer a more traditional cycling workout. For walking and running, our treadmills provide an alternative for indoor training when you want to control your speed and workout environment. We also stock Concept2 RowErg, SkiErg and BikeErg machines, alongside Mirafit cardio equipment, giving you a choice of machines for different training preferences and budgets.
Cardio Equipment for Home Gyms
Whether you're adding one machine to a home gym or equipping a commercial training space, consider the type of exercise you enjoy, the space available and how you plan to train. Compact exercise bikes can suit smaller spaces, while rowing machines and other cardio machines can provide more varied full-body conditioning.
Alongside our cardio machines, you'll find accessories such as the Concept2 SkiErg Floor Stand, studio cycle tablet holder, aerobic weighted body bars and gym floor protectors to help complete your training setup.
Browse the full range above to find cardio machines and equipment for improving endurance, fitness and conditioning.
What is the best cardio machine for home use?

The best machine is often the one you'll use consistently. Check out our Five Best Cardio Machines For Home.
Which cardio machine burns the most calories?
Calorie burn varies depending on intensity and body weight, but rowing machines, ski machines, air bikes and treadmills typically offer some of the highest calorie expenditure because they engage multiple muscle groups and can support high-intensity training. Any cardio equipment can support weight loss when combined with a calorie-controlled diet.
Which cardio machine is easiest on the joints?
Exercise bikes and rowing machines are generally considered low-impact forms of exercise that place less stress on the knees, hips and ankles than running. They can be suitable options for people seeking gentler cardio workouts.
Are cardio machines suitable for beginners?
Yes. Most cardio machines allow users to adjust resistance, speed or intensity, making them suitable for beginners and experienced athletes alike. Starting at a comfortable pace and gradually increasing intensity is recommended.
Is a rowing machine better than an exercise bike?
Neither is inherently better - it depends on your goals. Rowing machines provide a full-body workout, while exercise bikes primarily target the lower body and can be easier to use for longer sessions.
Which cardio machine gives a full-body workout?
Rowing machines and air bikes are among the best full-body cardio machines because they engage the legs, core, back and upper body during exercise.
How much space do I need for home cardio equipment?
Space requirements vary by machine. Folding treadmills and upright storage rowers can help save space, while exercise bikes often have a smaller footprint for compact home gyms. Measuring your available floor space before purchasing is recommended.
Can cardio machines help improve fitness and endurance?
Regular cardio exercise can improve cardiovascular health, stamina and endurance. Many cardio machines also track metrics such as time, distance, speed and calories to help monitor progress.
What is the difference between an air bike and an exercise bike?
An air bike uses fan resistance and engages both the upper and lower body, making it popular for HIIT workouts. A traditional exercise bike focuses mainly on the lower body and is often preferred for steady-state cardio and cycling training.
How often should I use cardio equipment?
The amount of cardio you perform depends on your goals and fitness level. Many people include cardio several times per week to improve fitness, support weight management and enhance overall health.
Can I build muscle while using cardio equipment?
Certain cardio machines, such as rowing machines and air bikes, engage multiple muscle groups and can help develop muscular endurance while improving cardiovascular fitness. Strength training should still be included for significant muscle growth.
