York Barbell (STS) Seated Row Machine

York Barbell STS Seated Row Machine

Efficient, guided seated rowing for controlled and consistent back training.

If free-weight rows have felt awkward or you’ve struggled with inconsistent form, the STS Seated Row Machine delivers a guided, anchored alternative that helps keep your body steady and your movement smooth. Whether you’re training at home, outfitting a studio, or building a commercial setup, this row station brings reliable structure to each rep—with alignment support, solid frame quality, and intuitive use that feels both safe and user-friendly.

Key Features

• Stable Step-Through Access & Diamond-Plate Platform Easy to mount—even for users with mobility limitations—and helps you lock in with secure foot positioning as you row. No awkward reach-forward alignment necessary.

• Selectorized 250 lb Stack (Upgrade to 300 lb Available) Fine-tune resistance with a pin—the load stays consistent round after round, so you can work steadily with no plate swapping.

• 4,200 lb Tensile-Strength Aircraft Cable & Smooth Pulleys Heavy-duty cable and sealed bearings ensure each pull feels steady—not jumpy—and wear stays low over time.

• Angled Seat and Chest Pad with Structural Support Cushioned seat and chest support pad help stabilize your torso so you can focus inward on the motion—not keeping yourself upright.

• Durable 11/12-Gauge Steel Frame with Powder Coat Finish Built for light-commercial use and designed to fit in tighter spaces—this frame offers long-lasting structure without bulk.

• Clean Design in Silver or White Matches traditional commercial or home gym setups; minimal touchpoints and sealed frame edges make cleaning straightforward.

User Interface & Experience

Nothing complex here—just sit, secure your feet behind the thigh pad, select your pin weight, place your chest against the pad, grip the handles, and pull. The cable system stays evenly tensioned throughout each row, and the seating position helps minimize sway or strain. With clearly labeled pin positions (visible while you’re seated) and no cable changes between workouts, setup feels simple—and the motion itself stays crisp: smooth, direct, and easy to repeat from rep to rep.
