Best praise vs top criticism for Peloton Row
“I have only stopped when I was injured and then I had to stop lifting weights, too. I could only use our peloton bike and I got bored. So now I’m very grateful, more than a year later, to be able to row. That gratitude keep me from quitting again. Develop some perspective like that and you’ll be good.”
“Although it looks good, stay away. I had a WaterRower (not the brand shown). Having to make sure the water doesn't start growing stuff is a pain in the butt. As we all know, life finds a way. With my WR I had to get a warranty replacement, one of the two reasons was because of an infection in the tank that the tablets couldn't resolve. I'm a careful person too- I used to homebrew a ton and worked in chemistry labs. I know how to not contaminate things. Stick with rowers that use fans or magnets. If you don't want the noise of a fan and want videos, check out the Peloton or Hydrow. Hydrow does have an economy model now.”
