This rowing machine is awesome! I had never rowed before and the set up shows you the basics and figures out your fitness level. The first few sessions kicked my booty, figuring out how to time your breathing is hard. The games and races make it so much fun. I love racing against other peoples time to try and be first. If you have a wireless speaker or headphones use them. The speakers on the screen aren’t very good quality or loud. The music stations are so good! I find myself having to pick up my phone mid workout to add songs to my library I like them that much. For the men reading this beware…. If you have thick thighs and your “boys” are big you’re gonna be uncomfortable. You have to keep your legs squeezed together to stay in proper form and with the legs squeezed everything else has nowhere to go. I get through it but definitely wish there was more breathing room. Also look up rowers rump before purchasing if you’ve never rowed before. Learned the hard way :(

I’m new to rowing, but the water resistance has been great on my back and knees. It's an incredible full-body workout, and the races and gamified intervals and progressions keep me coming back for more. The design and construction are both high-quality - this is literally the most beautiful thing in my apartment. It's quiet compared to other rowing machines I've heard, and the sound of the water is pretty nice and calming. Can't recommend this rower enough!

I love to row, and this is hands down the best! Stores easy and doest take up much room. Looks great in any room, very comfortable row, and the game based row is fantastic. Worth every penny!!!

I rowed a little years ago and kind of liked it. When I decided at age 67 to maintain some level of exercise during the times of no lake and no lawn activities I started investigating water rowers. I remembered from what little experience I had, that rowing seemed boring and hard to stick to with a schedule. Enter Ergatta! Beautiful Cherry hardwood, not veneer, that assembled quickly. I have been rowing for about a month and a half now and enjoying all of the river scenes, circuit training and course races that Ergatta provides. The challenges become more challenging as your calibrations move you up the scale. I do believe I will be rowing year round , it is almost soothing. I would recommend this water rower to anyone, even youngsters, that want to maintain/improve their core and legs without beating their joints into oblivion!

My favorite cardio equipment. I exercise every night using this equipment and it is very exciting. The exercises are tiring through the various options in the screen. However, it is very expensive and had second thoughts before purchasing it.
