I love my Echelon Rower! I have gone through numerous live classes, on demand classes, and scenic rides with my own workouts. All the instructors have been motivating! I have always been active, mostly running and playing sports, but I tore my ACL a year ago. The rower provides a great, low impact workout!
When social distancing occured and yoga studios closed, I started researching low impact alternatives that could work the whole body. Echelon was a no brainer. I've already recommended it to many others.
I enjoy the rower and I am glad I purchased it. The seat is comfortable and the rower is smooth. What keeps the rower from being 5 star is that it seems the rower is second or third fiddle. The app refers to it as a ride. I hear about the great live bike classes but the rower seems to be lacking. I am attempted to live rows and 1 I completed and the second my app shut down in mid row and lost all my data. The rower is well built and a tank.
I love the rower and the trainers! The whole reason I bought this was to be able to cross train and I haven't been disappointed one bit. The on demand classes are great because I can fit them into my schedule, but the live classes are great motivation to finish hard. The resistance control on the handle is probably the best option this rower has, it allows you to go as hard or easy as you want.
I really love it. The machine itself is great. I'm using it in my tiny home gym room, so I love how easy it is to fold up and take down. The folding up process is extremely easy and takes only a few seconds. I've really enjoyed the rides from the app so far. I do the scenic rides in the mornings when I want a relaxing, low-key workout. I like using the instructor led on-demand rides in the afternoon when I'm looking for more instruction/motivation. I would highly recommend this rower.
