Not a great machine
It’s way too long and awkward, so it’s hard to have a good spot for it. takes up a lot of room. The subscription is expensive and they do not offer different subscription packages. Just the $46 one and that’s it. It states you can use it without a subscription but it’s not as effective because you can’t change the settings or resistance on the machine if you don’t have a subscription. You can row without one but cannot adjust anything. It’s supposed to be good for people with back and knee issues. They stated it’s easier on your back, but it’s actually worse. I have had this machine for 2yrs and i have only used it about 8x because it makes my back and knees worse. Is not a good machine if you have as sort of back problems. It would make my back hurt and I would walk away with my back hurting even more. I have a bowflex, treadmill and bike and these are the at better than the hydrow. They all individually give me a better workout that the hydrow. It’s not something i would recommend buying. As a matter of fact, i am going to sell mine because it will never get us d again in my house. Even though i will lose a lot of money by selling it. It’s better than its collecting dust like it has been for 2yrs.
