    After doing research, we decided the Hydrow would best fit our needs. Ordered online and picked up in-store. The machine itself is solid. The monitor is clear and sounds good. The rowing action is smooth and quiet. There are various types of work outs available for different levels. The work outs I have done are very good. This machine is great in every aspect as of a month in.

    To be honest, it’s a little addicting. I liked it from the start and after almost a month of use I’ve found myself trying to squeeze in extra workouts. I’ve never been a fan of classes or instructor led fitness but the team they have leading the workouts does a great job of motivating, distracting when needed and entertaining. It’s an impressive piece of equipment, quality is great and it’s a solid, sleek build

    If you are exercising at home and are looking for a rowing machine, this is the best one out there. Yes it's expensive, and yes it requires a membership. But it is engaging and a lot of fun. I purchased it from BB because it was faster to receive than from the factory. I have had some wifi issues with it, but it has always been fixed with a reboot. More recent (march 2021 updates) on software seem to have resolved the problem. You need two people to assemble this. it's very heavy.

    Well built rowing machine. The big screen and the workout contents keep you interested and not get bored after a period of having the machine (The contents require a membership fee). There is scope for improvements, wish we could compete locally against each other! (We could have a rowing league) and wish the smart watches heart rate monitor could connect with the hydrow. There are workouts other than rowing built in the content which is good. Overall a great work out and a good machine.

    Best buy delivered it in two days which is amazing. I'm obsessed with my Hydrow. I've used it every day since receiving it. I love the Hydrow community (FB group), the rewards/gifts you get from Hydrow when hitting milestones...and the great results from this great workout. Our entire family uses it. I would give this 10 stars if I could!

    I debated buying this for several months and decided to buy it with the black friday guarantee early November. The product is heavy and takes up a lot of space. However, it us a great purchase for incentivizing a workout. The membership isnt requires but does make it better. I find myself jumping on for a few minutes and deciding on a longer workout.

      Hi Ynkebchgrl,

      Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback. We're so excited that you find Hydrow motivating to keep you coming back to workout. It definitely makes it easier when you have some amazing Athletes leading you through workouts filmed on waterways across the world. Hydrow does have basic functionality without the membership, but, it was designed to be used with the full membership so you can experience all of our premium Live Outdoor Reality content. It was also designed to withstand the test of time so it is well built and does weigh about 145 lbs and is 86" long and 25". wide.

      We appreciate your support of Hydrow. See you on the water!

      Team Hydrow

    I have been debating what to buy for home cardio, and I love that rowing recruits so many more muscles than running or spinning. This is a quality rower that looks good. It went together easily. The programming is fun and I’m working through a 6 week program that is really improving my performance. Live programming and on-demand rows searchable by length, difficulty, location, instructor and more. Highly recommended.

    I really enjoy the videos that Hydrow play and its very current. The trainers in the video draws you in as if your rowing in real time and not boring. If you don't feel like rowing they have yoga videos also. Just tilt the monitor and your on to floor exercises. Personally, the monthly subscription is pricey, but overall I enjoy this machine.

    Hydro has no peers in rowers in my opinion. The seat moves effortlessly and I am a big dude. Design is breathtaking and the monthly subscription has wonderful instructors taking you through every step. As for Best Buy they truly were the Best Buy at least 300 bucks less than any other competitor. Through the came to assemble it were charismatic hard-working and a whole lot of fun. Great experience

    This is a very well-thought-out machine. I would recommend getting at a minimum a 1-year subscription. I have just been following the recommended workouts in order and I find them just right and interesting. Besides a well-built machine, the workouts are what takes this to five stars. After using it for 3 weeks I now understand why people buy these kinds of machines. I don't think you can go wrong making an investment in a Hydro.

    I’ve have been using the Hydrow with my family for the past few weeks, and we love it. The online workouts are very engaging with the athletes. The unit itself if very smooth to use. The only issue we had was with the WiFi. I switched to hardwire Ethernet to solve without doing much troubleshooting. It is quiet so that you can row at almost any hour. While expensive, if it gets you to exercise consistently, I highly recommend it.

    I have been using this Hydrow for 2 weeks now & it’s amazing. It’s quite useful as it keeps your body fit. If you’re looking for an equipment to tone up your body, this Hydrow will do its work immensely well.
