Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Hydrow is fantastic. The community is great, the athletes are great, support is great. If you are not going to buy the monthly membership, you should buy something else. The live on water rowing is what makes this so good. If you're deciding between Hydrow shipping or BB shipping, there is no real difference other than the much shorter wait for BB. Return time is comparable by a couple of weeks, warranty is the same and the BB delivery was great. They brought into the house for me. If you are on the fence and are not worried budget wise, just do it...it is the best piece of workout equipment I have ever used. It is a full body workout, cardio workout, and they have a great variety of rows and on the mat workouts.

Absolutely the best work out product on the market for complete body enrichment!! Great company and workout program experiences. Highly recommend for all ages. I’m in my seventies and feel my youth is returning!!!

If you’re familiar with Peloton, this is the same idea for rowing. This is a high quality machine with a large screen. The classes are live or on demand, only with Hydrow they’re actually out on a river instead of in a studio. All the music is licensed as well.

I received my machine in less than a week compared to direct with Hydrow at 6-8 week backlog if not more. Have been on it every day since I received Dec 4th and LOVE it. I had Best Buy setup since it’s very heavy and I placed it on the 2nd floor. Seemless setup - they removed all packaging and I was up and rowing right away! Well worth the setup fee which isn’t an option going direct. Quick, efficient and great experience. Highly recommend purchasing this product and going through Best Buy who often has additional promotions included which is much more cost effective. Being on many Hydrow forums/Facebook pages, you will see the same! I have already seen results in less than 5 weeks.

The Peloton of Rowers! Great classes! Fun from Beginner to Expert! Easy setup with a sleek profile and easy to use. Best Buy delivered it to my door and it took my son and me about 10 minutes to install. I exercise on it every day. I love the workouts.

I researched a lot of rowers before buying the Hydrow. The Hydrow looks great, is quiet, and the classes are excellent. There is something for everyone here, but even the less strenuous workouts can easily become more challenging by reducing your split time.

The intructors are the key to the machine. They’re energetic and push you to continue til the end. Grest workout machine, and the magnet system makes everything quiet in comparison with water or air fan rowers.

Fun workout for all fitness levels. Connects easily to home Wifi. Large screen. Various workouts with instruction on proper form for those new to rowing. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced workouts. Some workouts focus on cardio, some focus on power, others are HIIT style. Rowing motion is smooth and comfortable. Rowing mechanism is quiet. Can workout in the mornings with AirPods while others in the house are sleeping.

Love our Hydrow. Has put the fun back into rowing, This machine is very quiet compared to my old Concept 2. The interactivity so far has the whole family rowing and I can track what my kids are doing for physical activity on the history screen. Very easy to use and set up too.

I am addicted! The live classes are amazing and a great escape. The rowing goes quickly thanks to the program. The machine itself is smooth and amazing. Great design and better than I expected. I love it. Worth every cent.

I rarely leave reviews but felt compelled to throw in my 2 cents. This is a high quality piece of equipment that has nothing but upside from a developmental standpoint. It’s clear that the programs and software are not quite as polished as they could be but the potential is phenomenal. Very much the look and flavor of peloton with a growing community of devout rowing “believers”. The excitement is infectious and the results from workouts clearly speak for themselves. Candidly, it’s surprising to see so many negative reviews regarding the required monthly subscription costs. This fact is very much front and center when briefly reading through the Hydrow website and subsequent info. For a relatively significant purchase wrt exercise equipment, a little bit of reading would have quickly brought the monthly subscription to light prior to purchase. At any rate, I’ve become a rowing believer thanks to this community and couldn’t be more thrilled with the look, function and ease of use with the rower itself. Highly recommend!

We took delivery of the Hydrow 25 days ago and I have used it every day since. This is my first experience on a rowing machine and I absolutely love it. The setup was extremely simple, and navigating the menus is very straight forward. Hydrow offers both Athlete led rows and a "Free Row" mode called Journeys. At first I focused on the Journeys so I could listen to podcasts and it was great for that, but once I tried the athlete led rows I haven't gone back. The Athletes are great at coaching and motivating, but also guiding you to use the rower as more than just straight cardio. It's a very different experience than using a regular cardio machine with different resistance programs because the athlete is right there with you. All in all this is a great product and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a connected rowing experience.

Best purchase ever! Love the Hydrow. It's fairly heavy but easy to assemble and set up. The workouts are so much fun and fly by. Subscription offers a ton of different workouts - more than just rowing. Can't go wrong with Hydrow!

Excellent machine, build quality and overall package. The rower is quiet and well design. The workout classes are great and keeps you motivated to continue and build a habit.

I have had this rower for about three weeks now. It is large and heavy so really have someone there to help you get set up. Having said that, the rower is smooth, sturdy and extremely easy to use. The interface is simple and I have had zero problems so far.

We've loved it so far! Extremely well built and the monthly membership is well worth it. Engaging workouts and really easy to follow along. The machine is also super quiet compared to others we tested and the resistance feels much more natural.

This has got to be the purchase I have made yet. I wish I had done this sooner. I was a huge runner but tore the ligament in my foot at the first metatarsal in the plantar plate. No more running for me. The hydrow is awesome! Beautiful videos and absolute amazing workout. Most of all, I get an even better work out than running with out any pain in my foot. I adore the coaches in the videos and really look forward to my workouts. Again, I soooo wish I had purchased the hydrow sooner. You won’t regret it.

The hydrow has been a easy to use and has many options for different types of work-outs. It was easy to assemble, but would have given a five star review if it were not for the poor threading in the 4 screws that had to be used for installation. I had to buy a threader and two new screws because the screws that came with it did not work. Other than that, I am loving the hydrow!

A gift from the gods...a wonderful full-body workout with exotic travel!!

This machine is everything I was hoping for and then some. I stopped going to the gym when the pandemic started and even though I tried getting back into my routine, I found that doing cardio with a mask on was unbearable. This amazing machine has done the trick - I am back int he game and have rowed DAILY. It works 86% of the muscles in your body while being gentle to the joints. I love seeing the athletes in action and constantly correcting my posture and my overall form. In addition, super sleek look that matches my design style, very quiet action and slides smoothly unlike the loud chain machines I have encountered in the gyms. Love Love Love and recommend a 100%
