I’ve rowed over 1,000,000 combined meters this year on these rowers. Here are my thoughts on how they compare and my suggestions if you are looking to get a rower for your home.

Hydrow has launched four new, more colorful, versions of its Hydrow Wave Rower. The bright new color options can be added for an additional fee when ordering from the company’s website.

Who else is tired of working out and only getting improved health and wellness in return? Hydrow heard our cries and came up with a way to keep us focused and committed to rowing for fitness… SCHWAG. A constant and continual flow of sweet, sweet schwag.

But these rewards are often a mystery to Hydrow users, since they are only revealed one at a time. Here is the entire list for you to check out!

The recently released Hydrow Wave is a lower-cost, more space-efficient alternative to the original Hydrow rower. While that may sound great, a lot of changes have been made with the Hydrow Wave that you should consider. In this review, we will cover everything you need to know.

As the ability to assemble your own versatile home gym grows easier with each new connected fitness product, we strive to keep you in the know about what products are currently available and what sort of fitness technology is at your disposal. One of the established fitness machines to recently gain a lot of popularity is the rower, due to its storability and low-impact training. We’ve compared a diverse group of premium rowers from fitness brands like Hydrow, Ergatta, NordicTrack, CITYROW, and LIT Method to help you see where they differ. We’ll begin with NordicTrack vs. Hydrow, and go from there.

With the Tokyo Olympics just around the corner, Hydrow is inviting you to train with both the U.S. Men’s and Women’s Rowing Teams. Hydrow will be adding six new U.S. Rowing Team workouts to its on-demand library over the next three weeks, starting today.

The Hydrow Rower might be one of the most well-built, beautiful, and elegant-looking rowers on the market. Hydrow also has some of the best rowing classes available. However, with a $2,245 price tag alongside an additional $38 monthly membership, Hydrow can also be tough to fit in a budget. This is especially true for those already paying for a connected fitness service like Peloton. Here’s a Hydrow alternative that will save you $1,500 (or more) off the cost.

According to Bloomberg, Hydrow has raised $25 million to compete against Peloton. Hydrow makes a $2199 rowing machine that is competing for their share of the connected fitness market.
