By now, most people are familiar with the benefits of a rowing machine, which offers a challenging, low-impact, yet effective total body workout. But as high-tech, connected rowers flood the market and make their way into people’s home gyms, it can be easy to forget that these machines were initially invented to help rowers train for rowing boats on the water. The Hydrow Rower ($2,495) takes the rowing workout back to its roots, featuring classes taught by instructors who, instead of broadcasting from a gym or a studio, are paddling a boat in places like the Charles River in Boston, MA or the Potomac River in Washington D.C.
