Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this machine. It is well built and fun to use.

This rower is single best purchase I have made for fitness. The workout is cardio but also resistance. Your muscles are quaking after a workout. The platform for the workouts is amazing. Picturesque, and refreshing views. Also, the rowers are awesome, they get you pumped for your workouts and the music is great, good selection of new and old, upbeat, keeps you moving.

I love this thing. The workouts are engaging and there's a large library of workout. The rower is well built and quiet when used. Just understand you need the membership for this to be useful. BB did a great job of delivering the unit when Hydrow would have taken weeks. I wasn't happy with BB not matching the coupon Hydrow sent me. But at least I didn't wait six weeks to get it.

This machine clobbered my expectations and vaulted me into a new type of exercise experience. Really like the rowing machine - slick and easy to use and especially appreciate the Community-oriented delivery of the interactive content. I was an athlete in my earlier years and have had a couple decades as Dad since and the machine/experience is great in every way

This machine will give you a great workout! Quiet easy to use. So far love the programs.

Very well made, easy to get started, great for low impact workout!! Great addition to any home gym!

Good machine works well not hard to put together . Wish it would work without subscription

No impact, low noise, excellent interactive videos, and great results. The videos (monthly subscription) teach you good form, proper use, etc. No regrets and 3 lbs lighter in the first week of owership! :-)

Very happy I bought this. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but such a good investment in oneself. Especially if going to the gym is not in the cards. The rows are fun and the time passes pretty quickly. Also, getting Hydrow swag upon completing certain milestones is a nice bonus.

Proving to be a great overall work-out as well as rehabilitation for severe leg injury particularly during these lousy weather winter months! Recommend purchasing the year worth of rowing with Hydrow athletes. Valuable rowing technique training in addition to ability to mirror the athlete who is rowing during your selected rowing session.

Before Corona Virus I was rowing 3 days a week at my gym with a concept 2. Unfortunately, they are not shipping out machines so I scoured the internet researching and decided on the Hydrow. I read reviews online and noticed every bad review was nothing to do with quality but their membership fees. There was no way to opt out of paying their monthly membership fee. Then Hydrow added a free “just row mode”...... With that being the only downside I bought in- Yesterday it arrived. I feel the unit is commercial quality and constructed well. Very smooth operation and I signed up for the $35 monthly membership fee. THEN I LOST MY HOME INTERNET CONNECTION temporarily.... After speaking to tech support I learned IF you lose internet at your home YOU CANNOT ROW......even in the free “just row mode”.... So for $2200.00 of the company goes out of business In stick with a boat anchor from what I gather.... There doesn’t seem to be anything in writing stating otherwise and with nothing written and no reassurance from the company I can only assume. They would be useless IF Hydrow went out of business.... When compared to the Concept 2 it is smoother and quieter. I find the workouts to be relatively the same if you took the instructor videos out. There are some subtle differences. Hydrow is smoother and quieter than Concept 2. The onscreen instruction and classes are phenomenal! Live people have answered my phone calls for help every-time during normal business hours while society deals with the Coronavirus pandemic (I could only raise Concept 2 via email). I have mixed thoughts but I am heavily considering the return of this. Not because I don’t love the rower but because the company wants control of every aspect of this Rower. There is no way to use it offline and no assurance written from the company if they went out of business. For a company as new as this they are asking for a lot of trust for someone I don’t know. I will probably return to my concept 2 unless Hydrow gets me something in writing with guarantees if they went out of business and allows use without connection to the internet. While the Concept 2 might not be on the water. My rower would still work with the power out and if the company went out of business. Just how long has Concept been in business? Since before I was born.... I trust they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon....

Overall very pleased with the product. Video has frozen a couple times during workout requiring factory reset. CS has been good both times. Not the usual level of service from BB on this purchase. On day of purchase the website listed special offer for Hydrow accessories but the link to the special offer was not functioning. Shortly after the purchase both Hydrow and BB included a special offer of a wireless ear buds with purchase. I called BB regarding price match. I was informed add-ons are not part of price match but could return this purchase and buy again to receive special offer? The delivery by BB was timely and communication of arrival rime was very good.

Smooth, and works outs are great. Set up was easy and works real good

Absolutely great workout! Easy on the knees, fun, engaging

Overall, it's nicely built. The layout on the screen is nice. And It doesn't feel like a huge video game. They do have videos without the instructors. It sucks they don't support the Apple Watch. It runs on Andriod. Options are limited as far as adding your own content, such as videos, or music. So you must subscribe to get anything on the screen to work, make adjustments, etc. They also want you to leave it up 24/7, so if data is limited, it might be an issue. You can stand it up if you need room, but you'll need to anchor it. And the monitor doesn't quite pack in a way to avoid damage. It's a nice machine, but if you have the time to wait, pick, and choose, you might want to consider other cheaper options.

I am thrilled with my new Hydrow. I love the fact that the workouts exercise 86% of your muscles. The drills are very manageable, lasting only about 20 minutes. Who can't invest 20 mins/day toward wellness and fitness. The coaches are very motivating. The drills are over before I know it. It's pricey, but worth it!

Great workout with low impact. It is also a good cardio workout. The subscription is great to watch the instructors and the options for workouts are endless mat with Pilates and yoga workouts as well. The instructors make it fun and the time goes by so fast. Great motivation.

Well built, great classes, wonderful workout. I think $2k is a little steap but I bought it on Black Friday special for $1100-great bargain and worth the money.

My husband and I absolutely enjoy our Hydrow rower. We both have very busy lifestyles with work and kids, this allows us to take care of ourselves when it works for us. We are not a month in yet and find ourselves wanting to row, even after a long day at work.

Great rowing machine. The workouts the subscription get you are fun and enjoyable. It has fun little badges to earn, live virtual workouts, and a nice way to keep track of progress. I also love how it uses magnets instead of a fan so that it works well with cats in the house.
