Made the Water Rower go from 'eh' to 'totally awesome'

We've had a water rower in our home gym for 8 or 9 years. During that time, I worked it from time to time, but never got much out of it. Even the Apple Fitness series didn't do much. But, since the Ergatta upgrade, I have cast aside the tread, the weights, and the cables. Ergatta is an engaging, instructive, fun recreation that gives me a great workout. I have difficulty leaving Ergatta alone to do actual work. It wasn't cheap, but it's cheaper than the gym, lots of other workout equipment (like a $7,000 tread), and is much cheaper than a doctor.

You will not regret going with Ergatta!

Reenergized my workouts!

I have had a water rower for 3 years. I bought the Ergatta and use it at work to reenergize my workouts. I love the gaming system, easy to track data, goals and accomplishments are easy to see. I also just bought the upgrade system for my rower at home.

Healthy exercise routine

Purchased my Water Rower at the beginning of COVID. At the time, there was a backorder, because everyone was trying to figure out the best way to stay active while in lockdown at home. I received mine after a 3 month wait, and it was money well spent. Eventually though, I hit a wall, not knowing how to get to the next level (I also got COVID, which derailed my routine for almost an entire year).

When I saw that Ergatta had a special for the add-on computer/tablet accessory and subscription to their coordinated workout programs, I bought it. It was a total game-changer! The programs were exactly what I needed to get motivated again in my exercise routine. Now rowing is more like a video game than a tedious monotony of repeated moves without rhyme or reason. My only suggestion to Ergatta would be to put better speakers on the computer screen if you want to listen to the optional music soundtrack that is available when working out (but the screen has Bluetooth capability, so you can connect to an external sound source).

Overall I am very happy with my Water Rower, and I know it has had a positive effect on my health.
