Wave Rowing Machine for Home, Magnetic Drag Home Rower Machine

There is absolutely nothing negative I can say about my new rowing machine! I've now had it for 2 months. I use it as a supplement to my exercise routine, as I prefer to be outdoors but weather and time don't always allow for that. BUY THIS MACHINE! The instructors and rowing programs are cannot be beat. The fluidity of the seat and "oars" are seamless. I assembled it quickly and easily by myself. A bit of advice; do the intro to rowing sessions, then stick with it. If it feels too easy, you are doing something wrong. Get a coaching session that they offer. GAME CHANGER!! These workouts are full body and can be as easy or brutal as you want once you learn how to do it properly. Again, BUY THIS MACHINE!

My family and I couldn’t be happier with the Hydrow Wave! The smooth rowing experience is a perfect full-body workout without stressing my joints – the quality of workout I can get in 20 minutes beats any home-gym equipment we have tried. The instructors are motivating and knowledgeable. With limited real-world rowing experience, I got a lot out the intro class, it is a great way to get the right technique and maximize the quality of my workout. The rowing locations are also stunning – getting to row through exotic locations from our basement makes the experience that much more engaging. With limited space in our home, the Wave tucks neatly in the corner with the mounting kit. Other pieces of exercise equipment we have tried don’t fold or are a pain to move. Within a few seconds we can pull down the Wave and get going – very helpful for tight areas. The Hydrow Wave has become the favorite piece of gym equipment in our home, very highly recommended!

The computer program is poorly planned, the support service is woefully inept, and the annual subscription cost is a third of the purchase price. Frankly the delivery is late and if you do not open and assemble quickly the return limit easily expires. If you do not pay the the very expensive subscription fee you can not find out any of the benefits of the subscription and the machine is practably worthless, for the touch screen, speakers, and computer program does not work. That makes the ease of use, functionality, and quality of program un decipherable. The value for the money is worthless. Never should have bought this machine in the first place. You can row on the machine but without subscribing for $500.00 per year the computer program will not work. Gave it one star because you have to. They should have black or negative stars for this machine. So basically the machine is at best a money pit.

Assembly was relatively simple if you first watch the assembly video. The seat made a scraping sound while in motion but Hydrow sent me a new seat that corrected the problem. Other than that, the rower is quiet and smooth and the extensive videos well done and very motivating to get me to frequently row. When ordering, I was hesitant about whether the screen would be large enough for an immersive experience versus the more expensive rower but in using it I am very pleased with the smaller screen size.

The machine is very expensive, but good quality. If you want access to the full features., it will cost you about $50 a month for a subscription. You can still get the exercise benefits without the subscription.

I've been debating buying a rower for a long time and finally pulled the trigger on the Hydrow Wave after looking at many alternatives. My home gym is pretty full already, so I chose the Wave over the Hydrow to save space. It came really well packaged, with simple to follow instructions (both video and a paper guide). Took me about 20 min to assemble then another 5 or 10 to get my profile set up, etc. The outdoor rowing content is great - I've never been on the water so it's all pretty novel. The seat and pulleys are quiet and smooth. It's so much quieter and smoother than the Concept2 rowers I've tried at CrossFit gyms. Highly recommend - a really sturdy, quality piece of equipment with great content.

I ordered this a little over a month ago, and my wife and I love it! We've both been looking for a guided workout routine that would keep us motivated to stick with it. This has done the trick for us, because we're both a month in and actively look for reasons to do it. I have desk job where I'm on the computer all day doing IT support, and the stress and posture aggravate my lower back and cause my shoulders to tense up. This has helped alleviate that tension and pain. I'm starting to notice my gut getting a little more tone as well which is a plus. For the Mrs, she's looking to tone her stomach as well, but she's also looking to stay heart healthy, and so far it is helping. Although we could use this strictly as a rower, we find the subscription too be worth it since it's cheaper and more convenient than both of us going to a gym, and more effective than self guiding through a workout simply listening to music. One subscription works for both of us, so that's a plus. I particularly Nick and Aquil as instructors. They make the workouts fun.

Uh does the audio typically caught off during a session or am I the only one? Assembly was easy quality and value is way off considering the amount of funks it has with Bluetooth heat rate monitor and streaming audio glitching. $50 a month membership plus the rower. It’s charging premium prices for temu level execution.
