Hydrow Rower Review
I Tried a $2,500 At-Home Rowing Machine For 10 Weeks to Find Out If It's Worth It

When you complete a workout, a screen appears to show how many meters you rowed, your split, time, average strokes per minute, your heart rate in beats per minute (if you connected a heart rate monitor via Bluetooth), and your watts, which measures the amount of power per stroke.
As a numbers geek, I find it so satisfying to see these stats, because they help inspire my next workout. Some days I want to row more meters or faster, and some days I want to row longer to improve my endurance.
This progress-tracking calendar is one of my favorite features, because it's what motivates me to keep coming back for more rowing workouts. I'm able to see which days I worked out in a calendar layout, as well as the total number of meters I rowed in the past seven days, the last 30 days, and overall (lifetime). I love seeing all the blue circles staring back at me, and it makes me want to ensure I do a little movement with the rower a few times a week, even if it's just a five-minute yoga session.
