Our only real criticism was the price, which is why it's worth taking advantage of this Black Friday deal if you're looking for a rowing machine that's perfect for beginners. We don't usually see the Hydrow Wave rower on discount either, so this is a rare opportunity to enjoy a saving on a great piece of equipment.
There are many benefits of using a rowing machine: it builds serious stamina, helps develop muscle power and burns a lot of calories. For a beginner, rowing may sound like a repetitive and difficult exercise. But that's definitely not the case with the Hydrow Wave model. This premium rowing machine comes with an impressive 16” touchscreen display that allows you to fully immerse yourself in hundreds of interactive workouts, and get real time feedback on your technique and progress.
When we put it to the test, we found it was just as comfortable as the original (now $500 off at Best Buy) and, despite its shrunken dimensions, our taller tester (standing at 6ft 2in) was still able to fully extend their legs at the top of each stroke.
