Not everyone wants to commit to one machine before they have worked out what they enjoy. The MerachFit UK store covers rowing machines, exercise bikes, treadmills and ellipticals, plus an Essentials collection with vibration plates, a foldable squat machine and an ab workout machine. At time of writing, prices run from £66.00 for the R07 Foldable Home Squat Machine to £599.99 for the NovaRow R50 Pro Air Rower.
This guide goes through the range by type of exercise, so you can see what each one involves and which suits your space.
Opening: Cardio at Home Without Committing to One Machine
Gym style cardio at home is easy to want and surprisingly hard to start. Rower, bike, treadmill or elliptical? Each one asks something different of your space and your routine.
The MerachFit UK store covers all four. It also has an Essentials collection with vibration plates, a foldable squat machine and an ab workout machine. At time of writing, prices run from £66.00 for the R07 Foldable Home Squat Machine up to £599.99 for the NovaRow R50 Pro Air Rower.
This guide goes through the range one type of exercise at a time, so you can see what each involves before you choose.
Why MerachFit Is Worth Knowing (Rowing Is Where It Started)
MerachFit was founded in 2018, and rowing is the category the brand grew around. Its About page describes how home workouts became more popular after the pandemic, and how the company responded by taking its rowing machines into the US and European markets.
One model stands out in that story. The About page says the Q1S rower gained popularity in Europe, particularly in Germany, and the company credits that to its compact design and quiet performance. The Q1S is still on the UK store today, which is part of why rowing comes first in this guide.
The brand also points to a different kind of track record. In a press release dated 26 May 2026, MerachFit states that it has supplied equipment to Chinese national sports teams since 2021, including for the Tokyo, Beijing and Paris Olympic Games. That is the company’s own claim, so treat it as background rather than independent proof.
What ties it together is the mission MerachFit states on its UK site: to “recreate the real outdoor experience with smart fitness solutions”. The rest of the range, from bikes to treadmills, follows the same idea.
Rowing at Home: Water, Magnetic and Air Options
MerachFit sorts its rowers by resistance type: water, magnetic and air. All prices below are as listed at time of writing.
Water Rowers
- R28R1 Water Rowing Machine: £279.99 on sale, against a regular price of £399.99. It folds away with 180° foldable storage, has a Bluetooth display and a tablet holder, and MerachFit promotes its FSC certified wood.
- R23R1 Water Rowing Machine: £439.99, for anyone who wants a second water option in the range.
The R28R1 is the one to look at first if floor space is a worry. The fold away design is part of its listing, and it appears among the homepage best sellers.
Magnetic Rowers
- Q1S Smart Magnetic Rowing Machine: £169.99. The About page credits the Q1S with ultra quiet performance and a compact design.
- R15 Pro Magnetic Rowing Machine: £282.99. The listing describes a quiet and powerful workout.
- R26B1 Magnetic Rower: £220.00.
The “quiet” wording is MerachFit’s own description of these machines. It is worth bearing in mind if you row in a shared home, but it is the brand’s claim rather than a measured result.
The Q1S is also the model the About page says caught on in Europe, particularly in Germany, so it is the natural starting point in this category.
Air Rowers
- R50 Rowing Machine With Air Resistance: £479.99 on sale, against a regular price of £599.99. The listing gives 10 level resistance, a comfortable seat and 50 KG peak resistance.
- NovaRow R50 Pro Air Rower: £599.99, the highest priced rower in the UK range.
The R50 is also on the homepage best seller list, alongside the R28 water rower.
Cycling Indoors: Exercise Bikes and Recumbent Options
The MerachFit UK store lists upright style exercise bikes, recumbent bikes and a 4 in 1 model. Its About page says its models are compatible with the Merach app, which is where the brand’s classes and tracking live. All prices below are as listed at time of writing.
- S14 4 in 1 Indoor Exercise Bike: £99.99, the lowest priced bike in the range.
- S26B2 Indoor Exercise Bike: £199.99.
- S29B1 Exercise Bike: £284.99, with a 350 lbs maximum capacity stated in its product name.
- S29R3 Exercise Bike with 21.5″ Rotating Screen: £499.99 on sale, against a regular price of £549.99.
If you would rather sit back while you ride, there are two recumbent models. The S19B1 is £299.99 on sale, down from £589.99, and the S23B1 is £192.24. Both are a seated option for people who prefer a chair style position over a saddle.
The listings I have for these bikes carry limited specification detail beyond the names, prices and the S29R3 screen. Before you choose, check each product page for dimensions, resistance details and assembly information.
Walking and Jogging Indoors: Treadmills With Incline
Incline is where MerachFit’s treadmill range separates itself most clearly, so it is the easiest way to tell the models apart. All prices below are as listed at time of writing.
- T31B1: 18% auto incline
- T12B2: 15% auto incline
- T12B1: three adjustable incline levels (0%, 3% and 6%)
The T31B1 Foldable Treadmill with 18% Auto Incline is the top of the range at £499.99 on sale, against a regular price of £749.00. It has three named workout modes, Steady Climb, Power Hike and Hill Sprint, so you can switch between flat runs and hill style sessions. It folds with a 30 second hydraulic design.
The T12B2 Foldable Treadmill with 15% Auto Incline is £339.99 and is the one to look at if space is tight. Folded, it measures 65 × 70 × 125 cm, and MerachFit lists its noise level as under 40 dB.
The T12B1 Foldable Treadmill with 6% Incline is £219.99, the lowest price of the three. Its three incline levels are 0%, 3% and 6%, and it comes with a one hand fold and an LED display for real time workout data.
Low Footprint Movement: Desk and Mini Options
Not every home has room for a rower or a full size treadmill, and MerachFit has options for that.
The T25 Treadmill with 12% Auto Incline is a homepage best seller, labelled “Under Desk” with a 1 to 6 km/h speed range and a low noise specification. At time of writing it is £279.99 on sale, against a regular price of £459.99.
For something smaller still, the Desk Elliptical collection has two mini ellipticals: the E43B1 at £69.99 and the E43B2 at £79.99.
Strength style options sit in the Essentials collection. The R07 Foldable Home Squat Machine is £66.00 and the 2415B1 Ab Workout Machine is £69.99.
Product pages carry few verified details for the mini ellipticals and strength machines beyond their names and prices, so check the listings for dimensions before you order.
Following a Workout: What the Merach App Adds
The Merach App is what turns the equipment into guided sessions. MerachFit’s About page promotes 1000+ courses, real time tracking and challenges. In 2024 it added realistic 3D maps and outdoor scenarios, so rowing, cycling or running can feel like moving through a landscape rather than staring at a wall.
There is also a separate FantomFite Game App, which the About page lists alongside the main app.
The UK homepage carries a “Download Free” button for the Merach App, and the app is also listed on the App Store and Google Play. As with any app, check the listing for current terms before you rely on a particular feature.
Five MerachFit Products Worth a Closer Look
These five picks each represent a different type of home cardio: a water rower, a screen equipped bike, an incline treadmill, an under desk walker and a mini elliptical. Together they span £69.99 to £499.99 at time of writing. Each one is covered below with its key features and current price.
Water Rowing Machine
The R28R1 is the water rower in MerachFit’s UK range and one of the three best sellers shown on the homepage. It suits anyone who wants a water rower but needs to store it between sessions, because the fold away design is central to its listing. Merach describes the wood as FSC certified.
- 180° foldable storage
- Bluetooth display
- Tablet holder
- FSC certified wood

Exercise Bike with Rotating Screen
The S29R3 is the screen equipped bike in MerachFit’s UK range, and it is listed among the homepage Top Picks for bikes. It suits riders who want to follow guided sessions on a large display attached to the bike rather than on a separate tablet.
- 21.5″ HD rotating screen

Foldable Treadmill with Auto Incline
The T31B1 is the top of MerachFit’s treadmill range for incline, and it is the model to look at if you want hill style sessions at home without leaving the house. Its three named workout modes set it apart, and it folds away rather than staying in the room.
- 18% automatic incline
- Three workout modes: Steady Climb, Power Hike and Hill Sprint
- 30 second hydraulic folding design
- 3.5 HP motor with a 0.6 to 8.7 mph speed range
- Wide running belt, 46 × 120 cm (18.1″ × 47.2″), with heart rate monitoring and an LED display
Price: £499.99 on sale at the time of writing, against a regular price of £749.00. The UK store also lists free shipping, 30 day returns and a 2 year warranty site wide. The sale’s end date could not be verified, so check the product page for the current price.
Treadmill with Auto Incline
The T25 is MerachFit’s under desk walking option and one of the three best sellers on the UK homepage. It suits anyone who wants to walk while working at home and has no room for a full size treadmill. The homepage lists it as an Under Desk Treadmill with a 25 dB ultra quiet rating, which is MerachFit’s own figure.
- 12% automatic incline
- 1 to 6 km/h speed range
- 25 dB ultra quiet rating, as stated by MerachFit
- LED display
Price: £279.99 on sale at the time of writing, against a regular price of £459.99. The UK store also lists free shipping, 30 day returns and a 2 year warranty site wide. The sale’s end date could not be verified, so check the product page for the current price.
Mini Elliptical Trainer
The E43B1 is the entry point to MerachFit’s Desk Elliptical collection and the lowest priced cardio machine in the UK range. It suits anyone who wants to keep moving at a desk or in a small space and does not have room for a rower, bike or treadmill.
- Part of the Desk Elliptical collection, a mini format built for compact spaces
- Sits alongside the E43B2 Mini Elliptical Trainer (£79.99) if you want a second option
- Lowest priced cardio machine in the UK range at time of writing
Price: £69.99 at the time of writing. The UK store also lists free shipping, 30 day returns and a 2 year warranty site wide. My verified detail on this model is limited to the points above, so check the product page for specifications such as resistance levels and dimensions before you order.
Picking by Your Situation: Space, Noise and Budget
The quickest way to narrow down the MerachFit range is to start with what your home can handle. Everything below comes from the UK store’s own listings, and prices are as shown at time of writing.
- If floor space is the problem, look at the R28R1, T12B2 or T25. The R28R1 rower has 180° foldable storage. The T12B2 treadmill folds to 65 × 70 × 125 cm, and the T25 is the under desk walking option.
- If noise is a worry, look at the magnetic rowers, the T12B1 or the T12B2. MerachFit describes the Q1S as ultra quiet and the R15 Pro as quiet. Both treadmills list a noise level under 40 dB.
- If budget comes first, look at the E43B1, E43B2 or S14. The mini ellipticals are £69.99 and £79.99, and the S14 4 in 1 Indoor Exercise Bike is £99.99.
The noise figures and the “quiet” descriptions are MerachFit’s own claims, not independent measurements, so treat them as a guide rather than a guarantee.

Summary
This guide covered MerachFit’s UK range by type of exercise, from water, magnetic and air rowers to exercise bikes, incline treadmills and desk sized options. Prices at time of writing ran from £66.00 for the R07 Foldable Home Squat Machine to £599.99 for the NovaRow R50 Pro Air Rower. It also set out the store wide free shipping, 30 day returns, 2 year warranty and the Rewards Program, where 1000 points equal £10.
Rowing is where the brand started, and the Q1S is the model its About page says caught on in Europe, particularly in Germany. The R28R1 stands out for its 180° foldable storage, while the T31B1 offers the steepest incline in the range at 18%, with three named modes: Steady Climb, Power Hike and Hill Sprint. The T25 is the under desk walking option, and the E43B1 mini elliptical is the lowest priced cardio machine at £69.99.
Readers can act on two points. First, match the machine to the space: the T12B2 folds to 65 × 70 × 125 cm, and the R28R1 folds away between sessions. Second, treat the noise figures as the brand’s own claims, and read the official returns and warranty pages before ordering.
