@@MattZiggy , it's a selling point compared to the alternative connected rowers in the video, not compared to a $300 rower.

The variety of workouts available on the Aviron is great for motivation. I've had mine for 3 months and have only missed 5 days working out. Ive got a few favorites,, but there are so many choices available. If you're looking to jumpstart a fitness routine, I can't imagine a better option. Also, the community and customer support are excellent.

no talks about the echelon being able to change resistance on the go from handlebars, I find that to be a pretty great feature

I did a lot of research between the hydro, ergatta (not mentioned in your review) and the Aviron before I bought a rower, and ended up with the Aviron. Super happy with it. I enjoy the games (though I wouldn’t call myself a gamer as I don’t play video games and such normally), and I use the guided programs a lot which are very motivating. There is really a huge variety of workouts to choose from, so I haven’t felt bored at all.

I still can't wrap my head around paying for a subscription for a piece of equipment I own. I don't think I'm the target market for the smart gear stuff.

Good way of explaining the C2 Rower! As an actual rower by sport I find it hard to explain to people how I sit on the machine for so long since it just gives raw data. I would have recommended the RP3 rower for this video but that is designed to feel like being on the water, and it only gives more accurate raw data. Even though it is for people in the sport of rowing, it uses a tablet as the screen and could be marketed as a smart rower once the programming is put in place. Also, it is supposed to reduce the back pain that is felt on a static rower. Ultimately I will always go for the C2 rower due to it's gold standard rating, but I realized that a rower like RP3 could fight these other brands by making videos and keeping the price where the hydrow is.

They could be doing so much more but I guess none of the options has everything really. If I had to pick one it'd be the Hydrow. Hopefully they will keep improving it as they have. Like it could use more gamey / competitive type stuff like some of the competition or yeah make use of the camera tons of potential there.

Rowing in VR is amazing.

Hi - great review. I'm new to rowing due to a knee injury. My orthopedic surgeon suggested I should get into it. I want to buy a smart rower for my family and myself. After reviewing several rowers, I decided on the aviron. I'm 6'2 345 lb, I realize a lot of the lower brand rowers have a lower weight limit. So I'm stuck with getting a little bit more than I would initially wanted to spend for a rower. So instead of pulling the trigger and buying the aviron. I contacted my local planet fitness and they have two rowers. So I will get a membership for a month and go a few times a week and see if I really like it. From what I read, rowing is a really good full body workout. I really love the StairMaster, but with having bad knees that's not a good decision. So I'm going to give this a try.

I’ll replace my Echelon rower with concept 2. I needed a replacement handle for my Echelon in November of 2023. Customer service said oh you’re covered under warranty, we will send you one as soon as we make some more. I contacted them today January 19, 2024. They said they no longer make that handle and also the damage to my handle wasn’t normal wear and tear! No more Echelon products for me! Customer service is a bunch of liars or at the very least disconnected from the corporate offices. Echelon as a company sucks! Plus if you want to use their machines without the 400.00 dollar app it’s a huge pain to bypass their app!

Hey coop. New sub here. Loved your vids. Hey would you be able to do a video for those who are trying to decide which ecosystem to buy into if they are going to use more than one piece of equipment?

Do you know which row computers show estimated time of finish? I know concept 2 does, but are there any others you know of? Thanks!

your technique is better (hands passing knees on recovery) than most rowing machine fitness models BUT you need to hang longer on the drive before swinging from the hip

I bought the elite assault rower. There aren't many reviews about it but I didn't want the usual concept 2.

ARX? Do you have some ARX equipment? If so, you should do a session on it!

Don't buy the hydro it's made with cheap materials that will crumble break and fade, the aviron is a solid piece of metal with little plastic

True. But I think the problem these are trying to solve and thus want to capitalize on is the intimidation factor. A lot of people want to get in better shape and workout but the "how" is overwhelming. The built-in guide/coach is very appealing and engaging. I do think though once they get over that intimidation thanks to these products, they quickly realize they can do this and don't need it as much and want to tailor make their own routine with more equipment. As the saying goes, "You're never finished building your home gym." These are just such massive investments for, what to me, boils down to fitness training wheels. But, I've also not used them myself yet, so they may have more staying power than I'm giving them credit for.

has to be concept 2 for me, the common complaints i see from most ''smart'' rowers is the interface is just too slow, every now and then you press something and nothing happens or when tracking your info it can slip behind and then catch up etc... very common complaints from what ive seen, its like the hardware within isn't quite fast enough to make it seemless... something the concept 2 has always been is seemless, the basic nature of the display means it does not require the horsepower to drive it, press a button its instant, the accuracy is due to the speed of the unit and its efficiency which is why its the choice for most competitions and its the gold standard just as you said for comparing yourself to others. there is certainly something to be said for the more forward looking machines and the involvement but sometimes it just does not work when you need it to, they are very advanced and more new rower friendly for sure because most going into rowing today will find it far more welcoming and up to date with the onboard technology.

Not a smart rower, but curious about the rowbike

Back in the 90s, the base gym at Portsmouth Naval Hospital had a rower that was gamified, too. It was 8-bit graphics, but it was fun as hell. If you did intervals, there would be a helicopter that would drop extra guys in your boat to make it easier. Then, when it needed to get tougher, a shark fin would swim by and one of your guys would disappear, basically being eaten by the shark. I'd never been big on rowing until I started messing with that and I haven't been able to find anything quite like it for sale since then. I guess the Aviron is about as close as I'm ever going to find.

Can't buy motivation.

Too much money and a monthly subscription. No thanks. I’ll stick with the concept 2.

I wanna see the channel get bigger

21 miles is enough to be rowing surely?!

No assault rower?

Definitely sticking with my concept 2 model d. Purchase a piece of equipment for a premium and also pay a monthly subscription? No thanks.

Is there enough RESISTANCE on the Hydrow rower?? the Nordic Track RW900 has a nice screen also but has NO RESISTANCE and is worthless.

First? Dang I actually took my time to comment this time and I’m still first. You guys need to work on your speed
