The long anticipated Peloton Row is now available to pre-order. The Row offers the same perks as its line of at-home bikes and treadmills, with a touchscreen providing access to countless rowing workouts.
I love my Peloton bike and actually purchased a Hydrow rowing machine about a year ago. While it's probably similar in design + functionality to how the Peloton Row is I'd likely prefer the Peloton.
I haven't gotten into the Hydrow as much as my Peloton bike simply because the instructors are worse (?). Maybe "worse" isn't the best or most fair word but there's something missing with the Hydrow experience...
I've only briefly used the original Peloton and enjoyed it but never purchased it due to space mainly. I love rowing and this looks great but that price tag 👀
Would have considered this at the beginning of the pandemic but I went and bought another instead. Paired with Apple Fitness+, I don’t see much of a reason to switch, especially at those prices
This looks like a slick package - but will it really attract as many new rowers to the device to take up the sport as something like the bike to make the market sufficient? I'd argue the potential market isn't anywhere near as big, and most people would find a Concept 2 plus a 3rd party erg app more than sufficient. I really feel Peloton slipped up here - they should have bought Concept 2 and focused more on the tech/software as an addition rather than building expensive rowing hardware.
