INTRODUCING: WAVELENGTH

September 30, 2024

We’ve taken game-based fitness to the next level with our most dynamic, addictive game yet. Thrilling, beautiful, and motivating to boot, Wavelength will take your workouts to new heights—you might just forget that you’re working out. Get ready to experience a whole new world with Wavelength.

THE WAVELENGTH EXPERIENCE

As you soar through stunning 3D worlds, your goal is to collect points by hitting targets, dodging obstacles, and navigating shifting tides. Your point total in each workout ladders up to a new metric called Stars. Your effort in a workout will earn you between 0-3 Stars. Similar to experience points (ie, XP), Stars bring various benefits within the world of Wavelength, like unlocking new workouts and granting you special in-game abilities called Perks (more on these later).

EMBARK ON CAMPAIGNS

Wavelength features a new workout mode called Campaigns. Inspired by classic gaming, Campaigns use a level progression system to guide you through structured fitness plans. The workouts in a Campaign are completed sequentially—you have to "beat" level 1 in order to unlock level 2. To beat a level, you have to earn at least 1 Star in that workout.

Not in the mood for a longer-term Campaign? You can select from a wide variety of a la carte Wavelength workouts instead. Whether you choose Campaigns or individual workouts, you can find exactly the type of fitness and gaming experience you're looking for thanks to our new Gameplay Themes.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR CHALLENGE

Wavelength workouts and Campaigns are categorized by five diverse Gameplay Themes: Accuracy, Arcade, Balance, Flexibility, and Meditation. Each uses targets, obstacles, and a changing water level to a different effect, creating vastly different workout and gaming experiences.

Arcade → Hit dynamic targets, avoid obstacles, and stay above the changing water level. The most game-forward Wavelength theme—you’ll forget that you’re working out.

Accuracy → Use a precise stroke rate to follow patterns and hit consistent targets. Great for practicing rowing form.

Balance → Chase high-value targets without worrying about obstacles or the water level. Try this if you love Meteor workouts.

Flexibility → Stay above the changing water level and hit full-screen targets. Great if you want to go all-in and row your hardest; there’s no penalty for going too fast.

Meditation → Hit targets when they appear and stay above a static water level. Perfect for finding a meditative rhythm with your row stroke.

Gameplay Theme isn't the same as fitness category; you'll find HIIT, endurance, conditioning, and recovery workouts across nearly every Gameplay Theme. No matter your fitness and gaming preference, Gameplay Themes make it easier for every member to find Wavelength workouts to love.

POWER UP WITH PERKS

Perks are power-ups that assist you in Wavelength workouts. You'll unlock your first Perk (Submerge) after earning a total of 3 Stars. There are currently three Perks available, and each offers you a unique ability:

Submerge → Protects you from losing points if your avatar goes underwater.

Shield → Protects you from obstacles littered throughout certain types of Wavelength workouts.

Amplify → Multiplies the point value of a target—and any penalties.

With Perks, your past achievements have tangible benefits. The more Stars you earn with a Perk active, the stronger that particular Perk gets. Perks help you earn more Stars, beat more levels, and reach new heights—bringing even the toughest workouts and Campaigns within reach.

TO SUM IT UP

Wavelength brings a whole new dimension to game-based fitness. With an expansive variety of gaming styles and fitness benefits, Wavelength truly offers something for everyone.

Ergatta + C2

This is just what I needed to get me back to rowing regularly. I really enjoy all the different options for workouts. It was easy to set up with my C2 rower. I only wish I had this sooner!

Solid rowing machine

As a college athlete I’ve been on my fair share of rowing machines. This one has good build quality and the screen provides good motivation by displaying useful info. If I had to fix something it would be the comfort of the seat when rowing for extended periods of time

Addictive

We love our new rower. It looks great. We feel great. We use it every chance we get.

Absolute Game Changer

After using the Ergatta Rower for several weeks now, I can confidently say it's been the best investment I've made in my fitness journey. Here's why I'm absolutely thrilled with this machine:
A Beautiful Addition to My Home
First off, let's talk about how it looks. The Ergatta isn't just exercise equipment; it's a stunning piece of furniture. Made from beautiful cherry wood, it fits seamlessly into my living space. Unlike typical gym equipment that you want to hide away, I'm proud to have this on display. It's a conversation starter.
My New Morning Ritual
The Ergatta has become an integral part of my daily routine. Every morning, while it's still dark outside, I find myself drawn to it. There's something incredibly peaceful about starting my day with an open row, listening to the soothing sound of water flowing through the tank. It's not just a workout; it's a meditative experience that sets a positive tone for my entire day.
Gamification that Actually Works
As someone who's always struggled with workout motivation, the Ergatta's approach is a game-changer. The gamified workouts and race-style challenges tap into my competitive side in a way I never expected. I find myself eager to jump on for "just one more game" in the afternoons. The variety keeps things interesting - from quick sprints to endurance rows, there's always a new challenge to tackle.
Full-Body Workout, Low Impact
What impresses me most is how effectively the Ergatta works both my upper and lower body. It's a comprehensive cardio workout that doesn't put stress on my joints. I'm consistently amazed at how many calories I burn in each session, and I can feel my overall strength and endurance improving.
User-Friendly for All Levels
As a rowing beginner, I appreciated how easy it was to get started. The app is intuitive, and the on-screen guidance is clear. Whether I'm in the mood for a structured workout or just want to row at my own pace, the Ergatta accommodates my needs.
Quality You Can Feel
The build quality of this machine is exceptional. Every pull feels smooth and solid. It's whisper-quiet too, which means I can work out early in the morning or late at night without disturbing anyone.
The Bottom Line
The Ergatta Rower has transformed my approach to fitness. It's not just about the physical benefits - although those are significant. It's about how it's seamlessly integrated into my lifestyle, making fitness something I look forward to rather than a chore.
Yes, it's a premium product with a price tag to match. But considering the quality, the engaging content, and how often I use it, I consider it money well spent. If you're looking for a home fitness solution that's effective, engaging, and beautiful to boot, I can't recommend the Ergatta Rower enough. It's more than a piece of exercise equipment - it's a lifestyle upgrade.

Best investment

My ergatta is my happy place. Every morning, when it's still dark outside, i wake up and do my open row while listening to the water flow through the tank. Then in the afternoon I'll play a few games, and now I can even take a class or two. Several of my sisters have them, and we enjoy them daily, and those days we can't do them. We can still look at a beautiful piece of equipment that's part of our furniture, not just an ugly workout thing in the corner. Well made and beautiful.
