This study determined the effectiveness of a 6-wk Total Gym[R] Row Trainer[TM] on improving fitness and cardiometabolic risk factors. Sixteen women and men (mean [+ or -] SD: age, 27.7 [+ or -] 8.8 yrs; weight, 73.3 [+ or -] 17.5 kg; percentage body fat, 24.6 [+ or -] 6.2%; and V[O.sub.2] max, 37.7 [+ or -] 5.8 mL*[kg.sup.-1]*[min.sup.-1]) completed both a maximal graded exercise test and a 30-min Total Gym[R] Row Trainer[TM] exercise session on non-consecutive days. Then, the subjects completed a 6-wk exercise training program (30-min sessions performed 5 times*[wk.sup.-1]) on the Total Gym[R] Row Trainer[TM]. Heart rate for the 30-min exercise session was 142.5 [+ or -] 11.3 beats*[min.sup.-1], which was 63.4 [+ or -] 13.9% of the subjects' heart rate reserve (HRR). Exercise intensity in METs was 5.8 [+ or -] 1.2, which equates to 48.8 [+ or -] 14.2% of oxygen uptake reserve (V[O.sub.2]R). Total energy expenditure for an exercise session was 222.0 [+ or -] 74.3 kcal*[session.sup.-1]. After 6 wk of training, there were significant (P
