An improved rowing machine includes two main frames, a rear horizontal tube, two rowing bars, a link, a support bar and an action column. A user may ride on a slidable seat of the action column with both feet placed against two pedals at both sides of a front end portion thereof, with both hands pulling the rowing bars. The link drives the support bar to elevate the action column to move on its pivot, so actual rowing may be imitated to achieve exercising effects. As the pivot of the action column is located near the user's side, the slanting angle of the action column when elevated may be reduced to ensure safety. When pressed against by the user's feet, the pedals will provide an auxiliary lifting force according to the lever principle, this facilitating the user's application of force at the rowing bars.
