    Two words…LOVE IT! This is a quality piece of equipment. Super easy set up, but Very heavy. If you are not capable of lifting 150 lbs easily select delivery option. I rented a truck and set it up in 30 minutes. More importantly; I love rowing. I hate fitness but love this machine. I have rowed 100,000 meters in 19 days and look forward to rowing everyday.

    My 17-yr-old son assembled it in just a few minutes. The family has enjoyed rowing with the instructors. They are very good and motivating. My wife really likes rowing with various rivers and lakes from around the world showing on the monitor. The rower is very smooth and its easy to adjust settings. I also use it to warm-up before doing strength workouts since it works most muscles.

    Great way to keep accountable for routine rowing. The video experience is engaging and fun. It still functions but feels lackluster without the subscription, which is expensive, so factor that into your decision to purchase.

    I absolutely love the Hydrow and its library of work outs. They're fun and make it really easy to learn proper form at your own pace as well pushing you to do only as much as you can and motivating you into a regular routine. The workouts are incredibly satisfying and in six months of rowing I've never felt better. I have zero regrets about investing in my health with the Hydrow.

    I just received my machine on 5/8 so there is still a bit of excitement and newness. That said I thought I would be disappointed not being able to input audio (music) or stream movies through the 22” screen... but I was SO wrong!!! The people at Hydrow have done an amazing job with the selection of athletes chosen to lead the workouts! So far they are charismatic and you instantly feel engaged throughout the entire row. They each provide clear instructions while always mentioning the importance of form. Now onto the machine... I must say the tech features alone are worth the cost of this equipment. There’s a progress tab and if you’re anything like me, visually seeing your daily achievement is a big motivator to keep going! It tracks the number of days you’ve been active and details your performance. There are all sorts of workouts. Live ones, prerecorded ones and even boot camp classes for every level! I could go on but I say BUY IT! You’ll not be disappointed...

    Awesome Piece of Equipment

    Next to the Peloton, this is the best piece of connected exercise equipment! Love the workout that engages 86% of the muscles in your body. Best Buy had a great deal for $250 off and a $250 gift card. You can’t go wrong with that. It is a bit heavy, so you will need a truck to move it and a helper to get it inside your home.

    Expensive and requires extra monthly subscription for classes but excellent rowing machine. The rowing machine is well built and looks nice. Rowing mechanism is very smooth and quiet. You can easily adjust rowing resistance. Class is fun and coaches are friendly. More thorough floor classes and Ease of UI (search classes by name) are desirable. We owned it for a month and so far so good.

    I love our new hydrow! The order time and scheduled delivery through Best Buy all took about 8 days which I was extremely happy about. I am enjoying the workouts and the fact that it’s a very complete all around body workout while it’s still low impact. Highly recommend this product!

    This has been the best part of my 2020. I am so glad I bought Hydrow before the pandemic because it has been part of my workout routine for the last 41 weeks. I love the on the water rowing instruction plus on the mat workouts. The machine itself is top quality. I have rowed over 1M meters in about 9 months and it still feels new. Make an investment in your health and buy a Hydrow.

    I have NEVER had results like this from one machine. This is replacing going to the gym and giving me more immediate results that I have ever had in my life. Two weeks on this machine and everything has tightened and toned. I have been doing HITT workouts for 20 years and this just absolutely changed my life. Good bye gym, never going back. I could not be happier with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone

    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.
