Rowing is in. And for good reason: Rowing offers a full-body, low-impact workout that engages up to 86% of your muscles, seamlessly combines cardio and strength training, and manages to be remarkably gentle on your joints. After a few months of testing the new Hydrow Arc Rowing Machine—which I reviewed in-depth —I trust Hydrow as a brand name. Right now, the Hydrow Origin Rowing Machine is available for $1,645 on Amazon for October Prime Day, a 25% discount off its list price of $2,195.
As you can probably guess from the name, the Hydrow Origin is the company’s original model. However, “original” doesn’t mean “basic.” This machine still has a 22-inch screen and plenty of streaming content. I’ve found these how-to videos and wide-ranging workouts are what make Hydrow so valuable (much like how Peloton is so much more than just its bikes).
The Wave model is also on sale today , but it’s just not quite as notable of a deal at 15% off (down to $1,694 from $1,995). If you’d like to compare the different Hydrow models, check out its side-by-side breakdown here .
