The Download: The Hydrow

While rowing machines can give you an amazing workout, they can also seem intimidating if you've never used one before. The Hydrow can help you feel more comfortable with its internet-connected touch screen.
The Hydrow allows you to learn to row and see workout data, pace, distance and your heart rate as highly-trained coaches row on the water right along with you. It has a growing library of classes, and you can even challenge others online to virtual races.
Aside from the various on-demand classes, the Hydrow also has live rowing sessions with coaches on the water every day from around the world.
