Hoist Seated Mid Row - RS-2203 Platinum

Hoist  Seated Mid Row - RS-2203 Platinum

Dynamic adjustment is the essence behind the ROC-IT line from HOIST. Using ROX technology, the user becomes an integral part of the exercise by continuously adjusting the position of the user with the movement of the exercise arm. As a result, the ROC-IT line embodies a unique training experience that achieves the unrestricted joint movement and core activating benefits of functional training coupled with the stabilizing benefits of machine-based equipment. Try it out for yourself and experience the ride of the ROC-IT line!

What our Experts Think

• Dynamic ROC-IT movement: ROX technology creates a natural rocking motion, engaging core muscles while mimicking functional rowing for a more effective workout
• Superior back activation: Self-aligning arms guide users into an optimal low row path, targeting mid and lower back with greater precision
• Multi-grip versatility: Swiveling handles allow pronated, neutral, and supinated grips to hit different back angles and muscle groups
• Built-in safety & ergonomics: Rocking seat reduces lower back strain and prevents hyperextension during heavy pulls
• Core engagement advantage: Unsupported torso movement forces stabilizer activation for improved balance and functional strength
• No adjustments needed: User-friendly design saves time and suits all fitness levels in commercial settings
• Heavy-duty commercial build: 335 lb weight stack and robust frame ensure durability and progressive overload capacity
  Bottom line: A premium selectorized mid row delivering biomechanically advanced motion, full back engagement, and functional core activation—ideal for high-end gyms and serious strength training.
