Hydrow, experience outdoors reality at home

We completely re-engineered the rowing machine with patented technology, making each stroke feel like you’re out on the water. Then, we built an immersive experience around it. Hydrow’s brilliant 22” touchscreen display and impressive front-facing speakers bring the river to your living room, the patented drag mechanism is electromagnetic and computer-controlled. Its distinctive components make it the closest thing to being on the water, captivating you from the moment you sit in its seat

Having a Hydrow in the house, means that I get to workout with my fellow athletes and hone my skill as I watch and learn from them

It’s an imbalance Hydrow is hoping to redress with their premium Peloton-style connected rowing machine, complete with HD screen and live coaching sessions filmed on location on some of the world’s most picturesque lakes and rivers. They’re also quick to point out that rowing engages 86% of the body’s muscles, compared to 44% for cycling, and that ‘a Hydrow workout burns more calories than any other home workout’.

With 1,000+ classes, and live sessions each week, there’s plenty of scope for practice. The majority are 20 minutes long, with a smattering of shorter cool downs and warm up rows, plus longer endurance events. The company has 11 instructors, all professional rowers, ex-Olympians and athletes and by following them stroke-for-stroke you will get a great, full-body workout. Rowing across Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, or along the canals in Miami Beach, classes flew by.

Although the costs are prohibitive — a machine costs £2,295 with a £38 monthly subscription — Bruce Smith, the brand’s CEO, has overseen encouraging growth, and is confident the trend will continue beyond the pandemic. “It’s become clear throughout the past year that people do actively enjoy at-home workouts,” he explains. “Users are much more aware of what they’re getting.” It’s that new and more convenient ways of living are certainly at the forefront of everyone’s mind.

What Hydrow Rower classes are there?

Along with introductory sessions from fun and enthusiastic trainers - so no fear if you're a rowing newbie - the Hydrow Rower also comes complete with a library featuring thousands of different workouts. Said classes range from athlete-led HIIT classes (think: rowing at speed, slowing down, repeat), to 'journeys' (you pick how long your row will last and go at your own pace, depending on the mood you're in) and even yoga and Pilates.

That said, rowers are a great full body workout, and Hydrow didn't disappoint.Compared with the loud chain rowers I used to train with back in the day, Hydrow has a significantly quieter belt and a magnetic resistance that you can adjust yourself in the settings. The main difference between Hydrow and most rowers is its display -- it has a 22-inch 1080p HD touchscreen display. Simple buttons on the right side adjust the volume, but everything else is controlled via touch.
