   Good question. I think its the same with other equipment, like spin bikes. It'll hurt a lot the first few times. But your butt get used to it over time.

   Thanks for taking the time to educate myself and the community. Like you said, I hope we are able to introduce more people to this awesome exercise and sport + help people achieve their fitness goals.

   I would reverse the two. Hydrow is closer to peloton. They both have instructor led classes. Our content is focused around shorter, intense workouts, in the form of video games, live races, and strength programs. Neither Hydrow or Aviron ca

   I agree. One of the biggest challenges we have is integrating to other apps and products. Even getting the Apple or Garmin watch to integrate is difficult because of their limited/closed ecosystem.

   Thanks! I agree that a C2 + Ipad setup might be all that's needed for a lot of people to stay motivated. For me, I needed more.

   Thanks for the context. We have a few Olympic rowers as part of "Pros vs Joes" on our rower. So far, the rower is still working :)

    Like with any workout injuries are always a possibility. We do our best to mitigate this with instructional videos for novice users and automated feedback (for example when the user is going too fast). That being said, stationary rowing mac

    What you're describing really resonates with me - I knew it was a good workout but staying on for any length of time is challenging if you're not a "rower". The experience the content provides is what keeps our customers

    We appreciate that. So far the machines have held up in commercial facilities as well as homes and you're right we did our best to make sure they hold up for the long haul!

    You're 100% right - and that's the nice thing about purchasing an Aviron rower for your home, you're able to incorporate cardio, strength and HIIT workouts on one machine. We do have learning programs for beginners that show

    We don't typically describe ourselves as the Peloton for rowing. But we did so here to make it easy for everyone to understand what we built. We appreciate your concern :)

    A huge part of our experience is the electronically controlled resistance that adds up to 100+ lbs of force. Our high-intensity games and strength content, which differentiates us, requires this and the reason why we opted to build our own

    Yep! Rowing is a great workout and we hope the trend picks up more in the mainstream as people realize that. Thanks for sharing.

    Your experience really speaks to our target demo :) and you're not wrong - it is definitely punishing (good word to describe it!) which is why we really focused (and continue to focus) on making our content fun and engaging.

    Thanks for the support! Exactly, we aren't going after the hard core crowd. We feel rowing is amazing and we can get more butts of seats by making the experience more enjoyable.

    You might be surprised to hear that regardless of what the damper is set to, the metrics do not change on the display if you were to maintain the same SPM and stroke length.

    Thanks for sharing your experience. Rowing is definitely making a comeback and is becoming more popular.

    Hey Alex, you are right, most experienced rowers won't touch anything other than a C2. But there are a ton of people who see the benefits of rowing but aren't interested in the C2 for various reasons. We feel we have a great alter

    Thanks for the feedback, that's actually a great idea and something I think we would consider implementing in a future release.

    Thanks for the feedback and good points. The good thing is the hardware is done and we're focused exclusively on the content. We try to pump out 10-20 new workout options every 4-6 weeks.

    Some fitness equipment do this already. I'd love to see it happen with our rower, but I feel the screen is a bit too hungry.

    Makes sense. We do plan on revamping out website in the near future and will keep this in mind.

    That makes sense. Maybe at some point we can use the camera on the screen to analyze the users form. Thanks for the feedback.

    Great point. I feel things are changing. Thanks to CrossFit, Orange Theory, F45, etc. rowing is becoming more popular. 5 years ago there weren't many rowing studio like there are spinning classes. Now you have chains like RowHouse with

    I've always wanted to see what it is like racing against some of the best athletes like Olympic boxers or MMA champions, but it doesn't mean I'm a hard core rower :)
