Small enough to fit in an NYC apartment

I've tested the original Hydrow rower for a few months now and will pass the 250,000-meter mark tomorrow morning. Thankfully, I have space in my garage for the rower, but Hydrow has received lots of feedback from people looking for a rowing machine with a smaller footprint at a lower price.

Hydrow responded to this feedback with the newHydrow Wave that provides the same rowing machine experience for those in apartments and homes with less available space. It is also more compelling for people looking for an affordable home solution -- it's priced$1,000 less than the original Hydrow. The Hydrow Wave is available for$1,495 from Hydrow.com andBest Buy , with each new machine including a complimentary 1:1 personal coaching session.

More than 200,000 people are currently part of the Hydrow community; its revenue grew three times from 2021 to 2022. The Hydrow Wave should continue to help Hydrow grow with its lower entry price and smaller size. The Hydrow Wave is also lighter, so it can be more easily stored in an upright position and out of the way for multipurpose areas.

Here is how the Hydrow Wave stacks up to the original Hydrow:
