What is Foldable?
In short
Foldable means a machine collapses to a smaller shape for storage, so it stops taking up floor space between workouts.
Foldable means a machine can collapse to a flatter, smaller shape for storage. It matters most in a home gym or a compact flat, and it decides whether you can put the kit away between sessions instead of losing floor space to it. Academy, Altas Strength, Bells of Steel and Bowflex all sell at least one folding model, so you can fold it away after a workout. Concept2 does not, so its rowers stay at full height and need space of their own.
