Hydrow Pro Deep Dive: Why This Rowing Machine Will Change the Way You Work Out at Home

If you’ve ever struggled to stick with a fitness routine, you’re not alone. The key isn’t just discipline—it’s finding a fitness routine that’s enjoyable, convenient, and effective. The Hydrow Pro rowing machine was designed to help you build a workout habit that actually lasts by delivering an immersive rowing experience right from the comfort of your home. 

Whether you’re rowing to clear your head, build strength, or hit personal bests, here’s a deep dive into what makes the Hydrow Pro a standout—and how its features help make your home workouts something you truly look forward to.

1. A sleek machine that’s made to be seen

 With a commercial-grade aluminum and steel frame, the Hydrow Pro isn’t just durable—it also looks great in your home. Its clean, modern design makes it feel more like furniture than fitness equipment, which means it won’t be something you want to hide in a corner or stash away.

When space is limited, our optional Upright Storage Kit allows you to store your Pro vertically in under 30 seconds, helping you keep your home organized and clutter-free. Built-in front wheels also make it easy to reposition your rower whenever you need.

This beautiful, easy-to-store machine is something you’ll be proud to leave out—and more likely to use regularly.

2. An immersive display that brings the workout to you

The Hydrow Pro features a vibrant 22” HD touchscreen that pivots 25 degrees horizontally and 15 degrees vertically, making it easy to find the perfect angle for both rowing and on-the-mat workouts, including yoga, Pilates, circuit training, strength training, and mobility training. 

Front-facing studio speakers deliver rich, immersive sound, while crisp visuals keep you fully engaged. For a more private experience, you can also connect wireless headphones via Bluetooth and stay in the zone from start to finish.

3. A workout that feels like being on the water

The Hydrow Pro uses a patented electromagnetic drag system that mimics the sensation of rowing on water. Unlike noisy air or water rowers, this resistance is whisper-quiet, making it great for early-morning workouts or shared spaces. 

Its 10-roller seat system and smooth polyester webbing deliver a consistently smooth stroke, while the resistance automatically responds to your effort, creating a natural, connected feel with every row.

4. Details designed for comfort

Every element of the Hydrow Pro is built to support a smooth, enjoyable workout experience, including:

• An ergonomic handle for a natural, comfortable grip.

• Adjustable footbeds for stability and a personalized fit.

• A cushioned seat with 10 rollers for added support.

Whether you're fitting in 20 minutes before work or powering through a weekend session, these features help every workout feel good from start to finish.

5. Seamless connectivity for smarter training

The Hydrow Pro connects seamlessly via Bluetooth to your favorite fitness devices and apps, such as the Apple Watch and Strava. This integration delivers real-time data that keeps you informed and motivated throughout your workout. With clear insights into your progress and performance, you can push harder to reach your fitness goals faster. 

6. 5,000+ workouts. 100+ scenic locations. 1 membership.

With a Hydrow Membership ($44/mo), you unlock access to:

• 5,000+ workouts, including rowing, strength, yoga, mobility, and circuit training.

• Elite Athlete instructors who motivate and coach in every session.

• Real-world locations filmed on the water to make your workouts engaging.
