Or opt for the Hydrow Rower for $1,995 during these early Black Friday deals.
Indoor rowing machines simulate the action of watercraft rowing for exercise and strength-building. Rowing machines are great for getting in a full-body workout since they work your arms, core and legs all at once. Most gyms have these machines but you can get one for your home gym if you want.
Right now, for Black Friday, you can get the Hydrow Wave Rower rowing machine for $1,495 (and save $200).
This wave rower has drag technology that makes it feel like you're actually rowing on the water. It also immerses riders with stunning waterway scenes on a crystal clear 16-inch screen. It comes with over 4,000 workouts for rowing, strength training, yoga and more. It's available in four colors named after nature -- river, forest, sunrise and sunset.
If you want a rower that doesn't have the drag technology but still offers rowing and other workouts that don't necessarily include the machine (like yoga and pilates), then check out the Hydro Rower for just $1,995 (save $500).
We tested out the Hydrow Rower and found that it has a lot more technology than traditional row machines that may only display speed and distance. The rowing machine comes with a built-in touchscreen display and access to on-demand classes. Its swivel display makes it easy to watch the screen during floor exercises.
