The ownership experience is not what…
The ownership experience is not what you would hope. As we know, workout motivation waxes and wanes and after paying for the membership at over $40 a month for close to 4 years life got in the way so I canceled the membership until I could commit to working out again. The Hydrow was sold as something you can use without a membership. When I attempted to use the machine without the membership I have been left with nothing but frustration. The Hydrow that I purchased has a massive screen that I hoped would simply display my “free row” information and that’s all I wanted, the data of my row. Instead I get a massive bright blue screen with lettering that says activate now for the full experience with a tiny little box in the corner with limited info on my row. Even if the screen was blank with the little data box I would be okay but I paid over 2k for a machine that is nothing but an advertisement piece that will not go away until you pay a monthly fee. This is not okay. Having paid well over 2k for the setup I should be able to use it as a smart rower or dumb and should not have a vibrant ad as what I see if I want to know my rowing data. Hydrow, fix this.
