When building a home gym, you usually have to make a tough choice between strength and cardio. If you want to lift heavy, you buy a power rack or a selectorized multi-gym. If you want high-intensity conditioning, you are usually forced to buy a completely separate, bulky machine that takes up prime real estate on your gym floor.
Body-Solid is completely changing that equation with a brilliant, space-saving hybrid solution: the Body-Solid GROW Rower Attachment.
If you already own a low pulley station, this innovative piece of equipment bridges the gap between heavy lifting and high-intensity cardiovascular conditioning without requiring a massive budget or extra room. Here is a complete breakdown of everything you need to know about unlocking the power of rowing right from your existing strength setup.
What is the GROW Rower Attachment?
The GROW is a dedicated rowing rail and contoured seat assembly designed to hook up instantly to a low pulley station. Instead of relying on its own air, magnetic, or water resistance flywheel, it utilizes the existing weight stack or weight plate carriage of your current strength machine.
By pulling against your gym’s cable system, you get a smooth, fluid rowing motion that delivers a dynamic, low-impact, calorie-burning workout. Because it engages all your major muscle groups—legs, core, back, and arms—it delivers a comprehensive workout that builds strength, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness all at once.
Specifications & Build Quality
Body-Solid builds equipment designed to handle serious training, and the GROW is no exception. Built from heavy-duty, high-quality materials, it is constructed to ensure long-lasting performance even during the most intense workouts.
- Assembled Dimensions: 66.00″ L x 20.00″ W x 12.00″ H
- Assembled Weight: 43 lbs
- Primary Focus: Cardio, HIIT, and Total-Body Development
- Warranty: Body-Solid In-Home Lifetime Warranty
Because it weighs just 43 pounds and sits low to the ground, it is easy to connect, disconnect, and slide out of the way against a wall when you need to reclaim your floor space. Plus, backing it with an absolute lifetime warranty means you can pull as hard as you want for years to come.
Quick and Easy Setup: How it Works
You don’t need to be a mechanic to install the GROW. It is engineered to connect to virtually any low-pulley system securely in seconds.
You align the attachment with your machine, connect it to the low pulley cable, and you are ready to row.
- Please note: a pulley station with attached weights is required and sold separately.
This plug-and-play design maximizes the value and versatility of the equipment you already own.
Universal Compatibility: Will It Fit Your Setup?
The defining feature of the GROW attachment is its massive cross-compatibility. It seamlessly pairs with an extensive list of Body-Solid home gyms, power rack lat attachments, and functional trainers across multiple sister brands (including Powerline and Best Fitness).

Three Reasons the GROW is a Smart Gym Upgrade
1. Maximize Your Space & Fitness Potential
A standalone commercial rowing machine can be anywhere from 7 to 8 feet long, permanently devouring a massive chunk of your room. The GROW eliminates the need for a bulky, dedicated machine. It utilizes the footprint you’ve already dedicated to your weight stack or rack, giving you full rowing capabilities with zero storage headaches.
2. Perfect for HIIT and Variable Resistance
Standard cardio rowers max out based on their built-in air dampers or water tanks. With the GROW, your rowing resistance is limited only by how much weight you can load onto your home gym stack or weight carriage. This makes it an incredible tool for high-intensity interval training (HIIT), explosive power-rowing intervals, and steady-state cardio.
3. True Low-Impact Conditioning
Rowing is legendary for its ability to torch calories while staying incredibly gentle on the knees, ankles, and lower back joints. Because it is inherently low-impact, it is perfect for all fitness levels, great as a pre-lift warm-up, and highly effective for those recovering from injuries who still want a comprehensive workout.
The Verdict
If you want to transform your home gym and introduce serious conditioning to your strength routine without adding clutter, the Body-Solid GROW Rower Attachment is a slam dunk.
It instantly turns your current weight station into a highly functional, total-body endurance machine for a fraction of the cost and size of a standalone rower.
