Best praise vs top criticism for RP3 Dynamic Rower Model S
“Their DX is basically an RP3 model S at a substantially lower price point and with a much more robust construction. Literally the opposite of what you say - less complicated in design and less expensive. The old Slider model was a good machine, too. More refined than the C2 on slides, MUCH more robust than the early Rowperfects, and a much better machine than the C2 dynamic. I've always felt like their marketing is bad, because the machines are so under-appreciated.”
“Apologies. I was suggesting that to most non-OTW rowers, RP3s have a higher barrier to entry with little to no noticeable fitness bonus, so crossfiters typically stay away. I have seen a few try it strictly as a novelty/ for fun if there's one tucked in a corner. Anyone can row one effectively, but most land based athletes have no reason to.”
