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

I used to be a runner, but after trying rowing five years ago, I'm officially hooked. I love that I feel like my entire body is getting stronger, but because it's low-impact, I can row five to six days a week, and I don't feel any negative side effects like pains or tightness. Rowing makes me feel stronger during my other workouts, too, including climbing, hiking, yoga, and strength training. I've slowly been doing longer and longer rows (I rowed two half marathons!), which makes me feel proud and more confident. Using a Hydrow has become essential for my mental health and physical well-being.
A Hydrow rower may be pricey, but it costs just a bit more than the gym membership I'm no longer paying for (which was $2,100 a year). And for all the amazing benefits of being able to exercise at home whenever I want, without having to spend time commuting, and for how amazing I feel, and the fact that my husband and kids can use it too, it's a million percent worth it for me!
