The holiday season is approaching fast, which means lots of potential stressors right around the corner. Luckily, you've got the perfect place to escape to before the going gets tough. Keep scrolling to discover 6 perfect ways to unwind with Ergatta.
1. WADE INTO WAVELENGTH
Start a new Campaign with Wavelength, our newest and most addictive game to-date. As you soar through stunning 3D worlds, you'll collect points by hitting targets, dodging obstacles, and navigating shifting tides. For a true gamer's challenge, try Arcade, the most dynamic and challenging type of Wavelength workouts available. For a more relaxed, soothing experience, Meditation is your go-to.

If you're the type of person who needs some friendly competition to de-stress, then blow off a little steam with our seasonally themed Races. All November and December, we'll have holiday-themed Races of the Week and special Live Race events, like the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day. Plus, our special winter biome (pictured above) drops every December–keep an eye out!
Tip: If the anticipation of a live exercise event is what you need, sign up for our weekly Live Races, which take place every Wednesday (7pm & 10pm EST) and Saturday (9am & 12pm EST).
3. WORK OUT WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK
Our Push Programs provide the structure to take the thinking out of your workouts. With a goal in mind and a clear, step-by-step plan, you’ll have one less thing to stress about during the holiday season. Pick a program that suits your fitness level and goals, follow the roadmap, and let the challenge unfold as you progress. Whether you’re looking for a short-term boost or a long-term fitness path, Push Programs offer a guided experience that allows you to focus on unwinding, not decision-making.
Here are just a few of our 50+ Push Programs you could choose from:
Steady State • Meteor Echo 20 • Keep the Cadence Arctic Ascent (a holiday favorite!) 10 Under 10
4. CHASE THE MONTHLY CHALLENGE
Each month, we host a Monthly Challenge built around a specific workout experience, like completing at least 6 Push Program workouts or collecting 1,000+ Meteor tokens. Monthly Challenges help you stay motivated and take some of the guesswork out of choosing a workout. Plus, when you reach the goal, you earn a special badge commemorating your achievement.
Tip: There are three tiers to every Monthly Challenge. If you clear the first tier, shoot for the next to keep your workout flow going!
5. CONNECT WITH THE COMMUNITY
The Ergatta Facebook and Reddit communities are full of Ergatta members that foster a supportive, education, and (most importantly!) fun environment. Connect with rowers across experience levels to share wins and overcome challenges. Plus, by tuning in to the community, you'll be among the first to hear about upcoming events, like Member Madness campaigns, special workout releases, and giveaways.
6. SHOW UP FOR CLASS
On the days when you need a little extra pep, try a CityRow class. These instructor-led studio classes offer a variety of training types, from exclusively on-rower cardio workouts to hybrid workouts that get you moving off the rower with core and strength work.

These are just some of the ways you can unwind with Ergatta during the hectic holiday season. Find what works best for you so you can bring your best self to the table!
What started with my husband thinking a rower would be a great low impact full body exercise turned into wanting one for myself. We wanted to compete and thought it would be a blast. My kids saw us doing it so we got one for them too so we can all compete.
All machinery is only as good as you using it, but I have loved the community and engagement that Ergatta brings to this rower. It’s always our choice to get on it, but Ergatta can keep you engaged when you are ready!
The one time of day I can relax: working out on my Ergatta
I hate most forms of physical activity. But I don't think of my time on the Ergatta Lite as a workout. It's a time for Zen meditation. I transport somewhere else hearing the water and moving forward. Truly grateful for this machine.
