Holy crap. She got a intro to the row from Adrian. Damn that’s awesome.
That price is insane. I can get a Concept 2 rower AND Ski Erg for half the price of this thing..
Or, for the people this is targeted at, i.e. not actual rowers, then the Hydrow is about $1000 less, with what appears to be better training sessions/instructors.
@@rowhsv ice actually heard great stuff about Hydrow.
Its priced for existing peloton customers who are considering hydrow. The hydrow has its own pricey subscription price.
Concept 2 rowers are very ugly and look outdated. No way would I want an ugly piece of equipment in my home 👎
@@cherisseharris570 concept 2 is the dryland standard for rowers... No need for them to be pretty... or quiet
For home fitness peloton offers an excellent luxury product. Even though they claim similar calibration, im not sure your peloton workouts will count for competitions.
I want to see a comparison between peloton rower versus Hydro rower
Separating out the specific parts and tools for each of the seven step assembly process steps was brilliant on the part of the manufacturer. For the price, I am impressed at how sturdy this czcams.com/users/postUgkxvObaTzoHoHQLL4lHbJQmExHqsrZQm-f7 unit is and it does go together easily. Well, I was puzzled at first at Step 5 and maybe the instructions should mention that rail #62 needs to be tilted upwards a little to get the rail to fit into the main part #44. I like it that the rower can be stored vertically in a really small amount of space, but be forewarned that this rower is top heavy and for safety you'll need at least two bungee cords to keep the unit upright, attaching them to something; in my case to a third garage door. I have had this unit only a short time, and I will post an update once I've had it for a year. As for working your legs, I have to admit that I'm mainly rowing for upper body strength and I use other forms of exercise for leg strength (like walking fast, biking, or using a trampoline. But if you pull as far forward as possible, then you can give preference to your legs for the first 4 feet or so of travel. I also admit to not taking the two electronic connectors apart at Step 7. I simply inserted the two batteries while the other parts remained connected. By the way, there is plenty of resistance here, even in the lowest resistance settings. Kudos to Sunny Health & Fitness !
Nice review. I tried out Row at the Peloton Charlotte studio and it is really great. Smooth, quiet and smart, all the things the Concept 2 is not. Saving up for it right now.
Definitely tempting - I'm already part of the Peloton universe, so linking it with my app and other exercises is intriguing, I like the instructors for motivation and some occasional laughs, and the form-assist (I have terrible form!) and the one armed thing (one of my arms is injured) are big for me. I have the Ergatta, which is beautiful and calming with the real water sounds, but the gamification has gotten boring and my form must be off even after watching a billion CZcams vids. Great video, thanks!!
Keep the ergatta and use apple fitness to supplement. I think I would miss the water sound.
Speaking as a college and current competitive rower ... no. The seat is designed for a heavy person, not an athlete; the foot buckles aren't durable; the output isn't consistent/relatable/compatible to the leading rowing power/distance standards used by Concept2 and RP3. The feet are too wide apart -- freeze the video at 3:53 and you'll see what I mean, that is not healthy for the knees, hips, and back in the long run if you are pulling really hard. I expect you can still get a workout at moderate pace but I don't think people are going to consider this a real alternative for strong rowers.
This definitely isn't targeted towards actual rowers. Even the instructional videos (I'm not even gonna mention the coach reviewing this) have improper technique. The main one I see is dude leaning back wayyyyyy to early on the drive
You cured my FOMO. I’ll keep my water rower.
Great review thx
Concept 2 RowERG $1000 > Peloton Row at $3200 + $44 per month subscription
Oh wow they are having Adrian and Matt wilpers row?
Looks wonderful just like my bike and tread! I can’t wait to have it delivered :)
We just got it too! Spending part of the Thanksgiving weekend trying to create space in my room for it. It does look like I will be able to stand it upright in the corner of a room without the need for the wall anchor.
I might wait for the Bowflex version.
I went to the store today.
Ahhhh this machine is the bomb! Everything is detailed.
And it’s really quiet!
I have a Hydrow and the workouts are on the water and fantastic motivation. All of the instructors are world champions and Olympians which really adds to the value of the workout. Does Peloton only do studio rows? That seems dull as dishwater.
Looks a lot like the hydro weave I just bought for half the price
$2,200 I'd have ordered it already bit its just to much. I see why they locked the classes to the rower so you can't use your bike or the app with a concept 2
I must have missed that part of the video (admittedly I was trying to multitask while watching). I currently have both the Concept 2 Bike and the Concept 2 Rower. I also have the $12 Peloton App that doesn't require Peloton hardware or equipment. And, I currently use their bike classes all the time. Sure, you don't get the social aspects and get their own data (I don't need that because I have the Concept 2 Ergdata app which then syncs all the data with my Garmin watch), but you can use the class, and it's great. I was hoping to use the rowing classes in the same way. Sure, the Form Assist and all of the social stuff I won't get, but I personally don't care about that. I just want the classes, which I think I should be able to get for $12 per month. I don't have any Peloton equipment and don't plan to, but their standalone app is great.
Ahhhh, I ordered yesterday and this makes me so excited to get it! 😃
Im sorry you wasted your money
@@xanwhite74 who are you to tell someone else they wasted their money? You literally have no clue what someone else's finances look like!
I still don't get this. You're paying $2100 more for a erg (yes it's called an Erg by rowers) over the Olympic-class, world recognized Concept2 rowers that are built far better. All the dry regattas use C2s. I've rowed on C2 rowers that were nearly ten years old that were still in perfect working order. Plus -you can also add various tablet apps for less per month with the C2 by bluetooth.
A pull chain that will fray? Where's the bluetooth to expand into my own apps? Metal that will get scuffed over time? Peloton clearly wasn't making a rower for athletes or - people who have google search.
Do your self a favor, buy a C2 and use the remaining money to buy two more for your friends and family. Then you can have fun races together.
Except concept 2 rowers and very ugly and look outdated 😂😂😂 thanks but no thanks! At least the peloton rower looks sleek and much more high end!
@@rvatxn if you are going to come with me at least have facts to back up your lies!
Please state where I said in my comment that I purchased the peloton tread because I never once said I did 🤦♀️
@@rvatxn I have the peloton tread and plus bike. I did not purchase the rower because I find a treadmill more universal. That being said There is nothing wrong with purchasing expensive equipment if you can afford it! I have a top of the very expensive MacBook Pro that I paid 3500$ for. Sure I could have purchased a cheap windows laptop but for me my MacBook Pro still looks high end and I have had it for 7 years and zero issues!
Any news on whether they will make the towing content available on the Peloton App?
why? did you miss a car payment?
@@FanWildlife rowing not towing
Does it have an ethernet port or is it totally wireless? Also, can you remove the seat to clean the wheels and tracks?
How many calories due you burn per hour? On my Peleton Plus I’m around 700 per hour and hoping this will break 1000.
I can buy 3 Concept2s for that price…no thank you
It looks great for a beginners / casual recreational activity and the interactive feature is much better than having someone without any knowledge go in blind.
But! Please educate your coaches to row with better form, rowers do not break the knees before the body rocks forwards.
Also for the price it doesn't look very durable, infact it looks like it is designed to fall apart after some use! I have been rowing on the same Concept2 (which is half the price) for the past 3 years racking over 13 million metres, I've only had to replace the shock cord once which set me back USD$6.
Slip buckles are preferred for durability. I'm surprised they decided on velcro. Unless they are planning to charge an arm and a leg for replacement straps which would make it a smart move for future revenue.
You said the quiet part out loud, shh
I got the concept 2, I would like to know if I can use the peloton app and use the concept 2 with it
I read an article that said they will not have the rowing classes on the Peloton app. Not sure if this is true but that’s what they said. Peloton is obviously in the red and they’re trying to squeeze every penny out of this rower. I have a Hydrow and was considering selling it to buy this and save on subscription fees (we have the bike+) but no way for this price. I’d seriously miss seeing my coaches on the water, it’s a totally different experience from the bike and in my opinion, far better. From what I see the Peloton rower doesn’t hold a candle to the Hydrow.
@@melymel36 thanks so much for replying. For cycling I like to play with zwift, but I was thinking in using peloton for the rowing by I am guessing now EXR will do for rowing.
Peloton should exit the hardware business if they have to charge that much. Focus on the app and let c2 do the hardware. I don't see how they sell enough of these to be profitable. Rowing is a niche and this is 50% over priced. I wanted to like this but am now seriously doubting the long term financial health of pton.
At $3200 they have room for margin for the actual rower costs. I read somewhere Peloton will not be losing money on the rower. But I agree they are far better off focusing on software and content for rowers that already exist in the market. There are a lot of people with Concept2's and WaterRowers looking for better content.
I would rather put that money into a newer Waterrower machine.
7 feet ceilings to store?
Easy fit unless you live in a hobbit house
@@Matt-uy8tw A hobbit house 😂, I was thinking my ceilings in basement were shorter but they could he 7 feet.
You need to work on getting your hands fully away before allowing your knees to break on the recovery.
Get a water-rower.
The rower woman here is doing everything wrong. It is hard to be impressed with Peloton’s rowing form tool here since she learned just about nothing about how to row using it. She would do better to carefully watch the video and try to imitate the instructor’s form.
Yes.
This doesn’t look particularly well engineered. Disappointed.
Laugh out loud what about the treadmills did we just give up on those
Connected, yet you have to lean over and touch the screen to adjust the resistance instead of the trainer doing it. No thanks
Owning anything except concept2 or a rowperfect is 99% of the time a sign that you are not actually a rower
@Roger Vieira Not gatekeeping, just stating a fact. People who know rowing know that fabric strap will last a couple years tops xD
Careful to anyone thinking about ordering one, Peloton is losing 1.2 billion per quarter and only has a market cap of 2.9 billion. This machine is a swan song and will be worth zero in a year.
because people buy at-home gym equipment for longterm investments? ok, buddy.
@@williamthomas4500 no, but c2s rowing machine still holds a good amount of resale value generally speaking
Hmmm. Kinda like iPhones?
Shameless ripoff of C2 rowers which have been in existence since 1981. Current model E costs 1/3 the price of Peloton.
Except concept 2 rowers and very ugly and look outdated 😂😂😂 thanks but no thanks! At least the peloton rower looks sleek and much more high end!
@@cherisseharris570 You already said this.
