ECHO: HOW TO PLAY

October 10, 2023

Echo is a single-player interval workout experience that trains your rowing rhythm and consistency. Echo interval workouts present targets based on strokes per minute, or SPM, and requires you to maintain a smooth and consistent rowing stroke to score well in your workout. Learn more about Echo.

GAMEPLAY TUTORIAL

WORKOUT TIPS

RATIO: No matter what the stroke rate is, your recovery (returning to the screen) should take twice as long as your drive (pulling the handle back).

SPEEDING UP: Increase your stroke rate by adding press with the legs, rather than rushing back towards the screen. For abrupt increases, a few 3-quarter or half-slide strokes will help you get up to speed fast.

SLOWING DOWN: Slow your stroke rate while staying in rhythm by staying patient when you are fully extended with handle to chest at the finish of the stroke. It is hard to pause and wait for the next block at the catch position, when you are closest to the screen like a loaded spring!

Exercise made easy

Easy ordering. Easy Build. Outstanding customer service. Starter program has made rowing easy. Did I mention how beautiful the rower looks? Looking forward to an extended relationship with our rower.

Fun and easy to build healthy habits.

I’ve tried all kinds of ways to work out at home and nothing has worked until now.

I feel better and I’m happier. Glad we invested in our health.

So fun

This is so fun and is good for exercise

Dream Machine

I enjoy this rowing machine so much. I love the open row the most. Love looking at the different locations around the world while I am rowing. Very cool! The classes are helpful and fun. I’m a big fan of this rower and the Ergatta training videos and classes. The subscription is worth every penny!

Great workouts

I've owned my Ergatta Lite for two months now and I'm really enjoying the variety of programs. I like the meteor, scenic and live races. It can be as relaxing or as intense as you want. As for the build, I was concerned about screen rattling based on other reviews but its not an issue, maybe a slight rattle during high intensity sessions but it never bothers me. Setting up and down is also a breeze.
