Fitness Resource: Indoor Rowing Equipment / How to Indoor Row

It's been a few years since I've reviewed rowing equipment for my personal training clients, and I'm left with a similar conclusion after this round: Commercial-grade equipment is the best option. No matter your option, the durability and stability of commercial-grade rowers and treadmills will always provide a safer, more efficient workout. While Peloton has made incredible strides in the at-home market for spinning bikes, I can't say the same about their other products (including rower) or other brands yet. Regarding specific commercial-grade brands, most of my experience has been on the Concept 2 and WaterRower machines. The Hydrow machine is labeled as commercial-grade and reviewed highly, but I can't speak to its design. I've included helpful links below to guide your technique on the rower at the gym and purchase of a new rower.
