I’ve never felt like I got much of a workout from the typical gym exercise machines. Using my Ergatta makes me feel like I’ve actually gotten a workout. And I especially love the different games to keep me motivated.
Got an ergatta lite after having done some rowing at another gym. I was looking for a home fitness option and I like that it's low impact and still versatile enough for my 8 year old or me to get on, pull, and get a sweat going. The games are fun and varied. I like the competitive races. I'm still getting calibrated to my level of fitness, and in the past I haven't rowed for more than ~25 minutes at a time, so I'm still getting conditioned as well to longer rows. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. Also glad I could pay with my HSA.
We bought the rower for our daughter to practice but the whole family ended up using it. Looks nice, sounds nice when you row, has a great display with gamification and scenic rows. My brother came to visit and ended up liking it so much he got one for his family also.
Buying the Ergatta machine was the best decision I’ve ever made when it comes to working out. So many different workouts.
We were both beginners when we bought our Ergatta. But, even after a few weeks I can tell I’m getting stronger and can row longer and more efficiently. It’s a great workout that you can fit in to any schedule. 10/10 would recommend!
