The Ergatta Rower

Thoroughly impressed by the Ergatta rower so far. Starting with the basics - this is an incredibly crafted cherry wood rower that looks nothing like the workout machines in your neighborhood gym. Upright, this handmade machine could pass for a part of the furniture and doesn't have to be relegated to your closet.

Next up, the rowing itself is just an incredible full-body workout that pushes you as hard as you can push yourself, and there's something incredibly satisfying about hearing the quiet rush of water with each stroke. If you've done your research, you'll find that rowing is one of the most efficient full-body exercises, even more so than running or biking, but it's also low impact so you don't unnecessarily put stress on your joints.

And finally, Ergatta has developed quite an exercise experience with their connected rowing platform. Interval workouts and push programs are well-made and help you build specific skills like endurance and power. But my personal favorite is the race workouts - competing against others and improving your split times and SPM is the ultimate motivator. I've never pushed myself as hard as when I'm striving to get the winning time to beat the other rowers in my race. If you like playing sports or videogames, the leaderboards and metrics dashboards will get you hooked.

The combined result is game-changing for me. I just turned thirty and didn't think I could fundamentally change my fitness. Before this, I was jumping between strength training and cardio while struggling to get 2-3x 20 minute workouts a week. I couldn't benchmark success and that prevented me from being motivated to continue to put effort into my physical health. Now with Ergatta, I'm proud to have rowed every day since it was delivered - 25 days of 30 minute workouts. I can't understate how transformative this has been and I'm grateful that I'm a part of the Ergatta community!

Great workout! I love the Push Programs where they teach me the best way to row. I love the monthly challenges.

As an avid runner, I've long known that I need to mix up my fitness routine. Since rowers provide a full-body workout, I started researching them. The concept of gamifying fitness along with the beauty and craftsmanship of the rower itself made Ergatta super attractive. We decided to go for it, and a few weeks later a crew was here setting it up (literally 15 minutes total, quick and easy). I'm at the beginning of my journey with Ergatta, but after 10 workouts, I can say that I love it! It is well made, the tech interface is superb, workouts are excellent, and it is really addictive. 100% happy with this purchase.

Lunch breaks have become rigorous yet enjoyable full body workouts. My favorites are the interval workouts. I love having the ability to measure my progress while gaining a better understanding of how varying power vs. SPM impacts split times all while building up endurance. It is incredible what the team at Ergatta has accomplished!

My whole experience with Ergatta has been fantastic! Communication has been stellar, the machine arrived on time and delivery team was efficient and courteous. I had a problem with calibration, reported it and received prompt response with instructions for the fix. I LOVE the Ergatta machine itself. It is easy to use, rowing motion is fluid, no strain on the joints or back and it is BEAUTIFUL! This is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time. Excellent company with an excellent product! Just buy one!!
