Being unfamiliar with rowing,
on May 11, 2021
Posted by: Darcey K
Being unfamiliar with rowing, I was super impressed with the variety of classes available. The instructors are excellent. I love the leaderboard and how it pushes me to do better. I love how there are bootcamp classes that already incorporate weight training, and the diversity of fitpass. I also love that that there are separate warmup and cooldown programs. Somedays I am short on time while others I'm all for an extra ten minute cooldown. I also love that I can cooldown with yoga, stretching or continued rowing. Although I really do love my rower, there are a few criticisms as well. As with any piece of technology, there are times the connection stops. Often this is when I start, and it fixes simply by restarting. This wastes a few minutes and is only a small annoyance. However, when you are racing during a workout and the connection is lost, it is much more annoying when your stats are lost and you have to start over. This has only happened twice, but I have to reset the rower when I start a workout several times a week. You can't use the rower if the connection isn't registering- it is a bigger problem than it not showing your stats, it does not work at all. My other annoyance is that there is no manual mode or ability to continue the workout once the video completes. Although I worked hard and burned 295 calories, there are times I really want to go another minute to reach that 300 calorie goal. I also found the music to be a bit disappointing. I was hoping the use of popular songs would really pump me up, but it is barely noticeable. Luckily, the instructions are very efficient at getting me excited! Overall, I do really love this machine and that it offers a wide variety of workouts. I have found rowing to be my favorite form of cardiovascular exercise! I am not disappointed I chose to invest in this machine!

Love it!!! It blows the concept 2 away and is so quiet. I love that I can adjust the tension on the handle bar. I just wish the seat was cushier.

The rower is awesome! It's stable, which can be an issue with rowers, and I has an easy setup and take down. The only thing I wish it would have is a rower workout program to follow. 1-5 days a week planned out so I don't have to search each morning for the right workout.

Great when you want to sweat every once in a while or get on a routine. It's a fantastic full body workout.

on April 14, 2021
Posted by: Daniel G
The rower itself broke after 1 year and had to be completely replaced. It took about 4 months of constantly having to contact Echelon to get a new one. When the rower is working, the only issue is that it only seems to use the usb power to the iPad when it is in use, so my iPad battery drains when I'm not using it. The workout instructors and classes themselves are excellent, but I wish I could count on the same instructor to regularly lead a session at the same time every week.

Row works well, smooth
on April 5, 2021
Posted by: Stacy S
Row works well, smooth operation and comfortable seat. Bluetooth connection is effective. Heart rate monitor option connects properly (most of the time). All-in-all a solid machine. My only gripes (and thus 4 stars instead of 5): The screen is a little heavy for the arm, so will drift down over time until at the lowest spot. Not a big deal, as it can be locked into a couple positions, but the design isn't perfect. Additionally, the recorded "outdoors" rows are reversed (in other words, you get closer to the horizon, instead of further away which is what happens when you row). They're also not 20-30 consecutive minutes, but often are spliced segments. I know, not a big deal, but could easily be resolved, and is more indicative of an "almost really good" product.
