I really like the rowing machine. I bought it because my gym was closed and I needed to be able to work out. I had been a long time lifecycle rider but wanted something that would work more of my body. The rower, because it uses something like 80-85% of the muscles seemed like a great choice. The workout is hard, much harder than what I was doing before so I think the benefits for me are greater. I probably will not resume going to the gym after this shelter in place thing is over. I supplemented the rower with a TRX setup and I think that will meet my needs going forward. As an additional endorsement, I plan to by another rower for our summer place. I really like the convenience and the completeness of the workouts. My wife initially thought I was crazy (she was an elliptical user) but she started using the rower and is now a convert. As to improvements, I think the app could use some tweaks and has been improved over the past couple of weeks. It works fine, but always up for more improvements.

For the money you cannot beat this. Very good quality and have been very happy with it. Compared to other rowers on the market that are extremely expensive this one fit in my price range. I have the cycle and am happy with that, so I thought I would give the rower a try and have been very pleased. Would definitely recommend.

This Echelon Row-S is more than just a rowing machine! The swiveling touchscreen lets me use it for off-rower workouts too. I love throwing on a yoga or strength training class and using the machine for support or added challenge. It's a great way to mix things up and keep my workouts interesting.

I am so glad I got this rower! It is so sleek and quiet. But the best feature is the rowing classes available on echelon app. The instructors will teach you a proper technique and really challenge you. I would not be able to workout as intensively if I try to row on my own, not taking a class. I also own a connect bike and I love how my membership fee covers both cycling and rowing classes.

The construction and feel of this rower is top notch. You can tell it's a heavy duty, gym grade rowing machine. In fact, it might be built better than some of the rowers I've seen at some of my local gyms. It does fold up easily, and wasn't difficult to assemble. The resistance works great, and I am completely drenched in sweat after each workout. It is also whisper quiet if you do not count the sounds coming out of me while I'm doing a workout. There are a few things that could be improved. I feel like the ac adapter is very cheap. It seems like something that would go with a childs toy instead of a professional rower. I'd rather this have a power supply built in and just come with a long 3 prong cord. I also wish that this was designed with a built in screen. I'm using the ipad air and it just seems too small. There are some photos out there of a prototype that did have a built in screen. I'm sure this was scrapped for cost reasons, but the ipad is pretty small when you are rowing in and out. The last thing is the app. It's okay. It doesn't feel of the caliber that the rower is. You can add equipment, but you can't remove. That's one of the most annoying parts. So I have 2 rowers and a bike and I can't remove the two I don't need. I did hear that they are working on fixing that. All in in, I give this 4/5 for value, quality, and overall experience.

We have really loved our new rower! It is definitely a different work out than our Echelon bike. The bike feels like a more fast paced, cardio workout whereas the rower feels more like a full body strength training. We did have some issues with connectivity at first (especially trying to synchronize our watches with the rowing monitor), but that issue seems to be resolved. We didn't partake in the beginner rowing classes as much because we felt the information was really repetitive and that there was more explanation/talking than working out. Our recommendation would be to reconsider how those beginner classes are structured. We would also really love to share our workouts in a more user friendly, social media way! (Such as as Instagram!) Overall, we've been really happy with our Echelon experience and a lot of our friends have joined the Echelon family with us! Both the rower and bike are great for busy families who don't necessarily have time to go to a traditional gym! We'd really love to have the Reflect to step up our workouts to the next level!

I have been loving my Echelon Row for 3 years now. It's such a great full body workout. I just connect my tablet and get to work! What was a quarantine purchase turned into a way of life that gives me life. I was never a rower until Echelon. My favorite instructor to row with is Michael Browne, he does amazing classes. My favorite is the Boot Camp, time on the row plus mat work with weights. I've completely changed my mental health and physical health through these classes that Echelon offers. Fitpass, Connect bikes, etc. They have each played an integral part in my ongoing fitness journey. I stay engaged, and motivated because of the community and the instructors, so huge! I've made life long friends online that help support my goals as I do theirs. If you're looking for a workout partner, this community is the absolute best.

The workout and classes are good. The Rower software lacks a bit of personalization. I like to listen to my own music through wireless headphones while also hearing the instructors. We need the option to turn off or mute the music in the class to better hear the instructor. Also Bluetooth capability would be nice. A lot of people use wireless headphones. Lastly, you can't control Spotify through the app. It's just there to show you the songs on the instructors playlist. Let us pick our own songs through the full app.

As a senior citizen, I was looking for a low-impact way to stay active. My doctor recommended rowing, and after some research, I landed on the Echelon Row-S. It's perfect! The adjustable resistance lets me take things at my own pace, and the comfortable seat makes it easy on my back. Plus, the variety of instructor-led classes keeps me motivated and engaged.

I love the Echelon Rower and has been a great companion for my Echelon Bike. The ability to utilize the Rower for a total body workout is tremendous. The Rower is smooth and easy to assemble and the classes both live and on demand are challenging pushing you to the next level.
