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

A Hydrow Rower costs $2,495, which is slightly more expensive than the Ergatta ($2,200), and more than double the price of a Concept 2 ($900). Once you order, it usually ships within two to three weeks and comes with free shipping and a one-year warranty. Note that this price doesn't include the $38/month membership fee you need in order to access the library of workouts.

Hydrow also offers bundle packages with other accessories, such as a floor mat or heart rate monitor. The Hydrow Works Package ($3,045, on sale for $2,895) also includes earbuds, resistance bands, and some other workout gear.
