If you are not already familiar with the Hydrow Wave then the easiest way to explain it is to make the obvious comparison. The Hydrow Wave is to rowing what Peloton is to cycling. That is to say, it is a really well-designed smart workout machine with an integrated HD display on which you can join both live and on-demand workouts from the comfort of your own living room, garage or wherever it fits. And this Cyber Monday you can save a huge $250 on the package.

But where Peloton has cycling or running sessions, the Hydrow Wave takes you out onto the virtual waters with locations around the world. Our reviewer really enjoyed using the Hydrow Wave, rating it as one of the best rowing machines on the market. Not just because of the quality of the build which gives a lovely frictionless row but because the workouts themselves are so impressive. Using Olympians, pros and expert coaches, Hydrow's workouts really bring the virtual experience to a new dimension especially when compared with some of the best exercise bikes or treadmills. Whether you are a seasoned rower or just want to up your cardio game, now is the perfect time to get that Hydrow you have been eyeing up with a superb $250 saving.

To access the full features, you do need to pay for the app membership. On the app there are an incredible 4,300+ workouts including plenty of those live sessions, on-demand workouts and also a lot of off-rower classes to help build your strength and conditioning that includes yoga, Pilates, HIIT classes, strength, cross-training and more. So the Hydrow is far more than just a rowing machine which just adds more value to this Cyber Monday deal. If you do not pay for the app membership, you can just row without using the on-demand or live classes. But with membership at $38/ month we think that compares pretty favourably to a gym, particularly when you consider that you are essentially getting one-on-one coaching in the comfort of your own home. When you purchase, you can also opt for the $1,665 package which includes six months membership bundled in.
