Membership & content
One thing to be aware of: while you can use the rower in “Just Row” mode (i.e., without a membership), the full experience—leaderboards, workout library (row, strength, yoga, mobility, circuit, etc.)—requires a $44/month membership (one per machine). Hydrow claims ~5,000+ on-demand workouts across modalities. It feels worthwhile with the amount of content you get, and it’s still cheaper than a typical gym membership. However, it’s definitely something you’ll need to factor into your well-being budget.
