"Compelling and addictive"

"Both are great rowing machines, but I used Ergatta much more because of the software. I find their gaming workouts strangely compelling and addictive - I feel I am accomplishing something. Aviron games felt gimmicky to me and I didn’t get much of a workout. I ended up mostly watching Netflix and I don’t need another monthly fee to do that." -Jonathan, Ergatta member

WORKOUTS THAT ADAPT TO YOU

Ergatta’s patented-calibration system adjusts each workout to your unique fitness level - never too easy or too hard - so you stay engaged and challenged in just the right way. As you improve, Ergatta will re-calibrate each instruction, target, and competitor to progress with you.

WHY WATER RESISTANCE?
EASY ON THE BACK

Resistance is evenly distributed throughout the stroke, taking strain off your back while making your arms and core pick up more of the work.

NO Maintenance

Resistance adjusts with your effort, meaning harder strokes meet more resistance. No need to replace the water, just place a free purification tablet into the basin every 6-12 months.

Nearly silent

No mechanical sound or feel; no slippage or catching like some electromagnetic or air-fan rowers; and no problem for sleeping babies in the next room.
