This Rower Put Me Through a GRUELING Workout | CITYROW GO

I had a waterrower 20 years ago. It was quiet, worked well, and I wasn't too in to the monitor, so any drawbacks there didn't bother me. Right up until the water container cracked and it leaked out onto my carpets.

Bought a Concept 2, since that was what I used in college back in the day. Haven't looked back since.

Thanks for this! I’m going to buy the classic one and use it without the connected experience. I like the black Waterrower they created!

I was interested in this one when I was trying to decide it was on my list.

Total random question: what kind of floor mats do you have in your garage?

hi , i was wondering whether the Maffetone heart rate training tecnique can be apllied to those starting out on the Rowing machine?
thanks in advance..

Can you review the Sunny Health and Fitness Obsidian Surge 500 Water Rowing Machine? It's about $500 USD from Amazon. I am 6'2" tall and I am concerned about the length of the track for the seat.

You’ve been off the erg for a long time!
It’s good to see you back in the saddle.
We hope everything is OK.

Great review. We bought a Ezxfitness water machine with no monitor (always follow with you and do all your tutorials). Love the look of it and the smoothness. Does the amount ff water you put in the wheel effect the drag factor.and make it harder? I’m afraid to experiment due to Rui in the machine or causing a flood. Probably a very silly question. Many thanks or all your help and advice.

A great review. We relatively recently bought a Ezxfitness water rower. - doesn’t have a monitor but we do all your tutorials, which have been fantastic. This is probably a v silly question but..does the amount of water you put in the wheel effect the drag factor, making a harder pull? Frightened of experimenting in case break the machine and cause a flood! Many thanks for all your help - you’ve been terrific.

Hey, what do you think about the slides for the Concept2? Did you try them, do they feel weird?

hi bro, can u do a review on Adidas R-21 Water Rower or the 21x?

Nice review! @darkhorserowing have you thought about publishing workouts and so on in Kinomap? I find the integration with the concept 2 is great, but I miss your workouts there.

Hello. What is the status of the channel? Since joined you didn’t post anything. The repository of workout and tips videos is huge (and great by the way!) so I still have years of work ahead of me but I wanted to know if something is wrong with you or the channel. Thanks!

Looks scary🤣

What are your thoughts on a dynamic rower such as Oartec?

I'm guessing between $1500 to over $2000. Nope

Does the resistance change when you are really hammering on it?

I love my machine, so I’m not looking to change (Water Rower for long legged people) - BUT it’s cool to see others. HOWEVER - when I saw the studio experience I found myself yelling at the screen - WHY??? You are here!! AND - their set up, In my opinion , isn’t even a 10th as good as yours. I love that we see you from the side so that we can match your stroke. Thank you for all you do. My blood pressure went from 120/80 to 120/60 because of the rowing I do (with you motiving me through videos.) Thank you!

What I noticed at the end of the video, was something I wondered about the monitor as you were reviewing it. That is the ability for the screen to flip, it means you can stand the rower up once done with it but still use the monitor for other workouts if you need the space. That's a cool feature that could often be overlooked.

I use water rower and it's my favorite. I used Concept at the gym. I kept going back to water rower. The woosh is what keeps me going back. Thank you for the workouts. I am addicted to the rowing and your guided workouts are so helpful.

There would be only one reason for me to use a waterrower. The fact that quieter than a concept 2 and so more usable in an apartment. But my most important motivaton over the last years were the comparabe results because of the calibrated perfomance monitors with every rower over the planet. It´s the standard an so I know how good or how bad I am really. So was my decision to go in an gym to train on a concept 2. Personally I don´t need big monitors or some apps. I really need the concrete and right information of the performance monitor and the logbook. That´s enough for me.

I agree with you on not doing the studio workout and still think concept 2 erg and skierg combo is the best. Plus flexibility to do own workouts is better. Plus as a former rower I think your channel and instruction is the best! City rower should pick you up you are an incredibly talented coach.

What kind of Nike shoes are you wearing in this video?

Danke dir! Endlich habe ich Spaß an meinem Waterrower und sehe Erfolge! Weiter so!

Is this channel still a thing? It's been about 4 months now without an upload just wondering.

Super cool video!

how about something for us older guys.... like over 50,,, what would be good times for 50....55.....60.....65....and 70 year ol guys for the 2000....not rank beginners but guys who do row at least 3 to 5 days a week....

Great review! And I would love to find a water rower with a large screen and great speakers that just let me row down various around the world. That's all. I don't want the "studio" experience, I don't want some person yapping at me "you can do it!" Just let me be out on the water with pleasant music I can choose and my metrics. I don't need all that other stuff. Or they could offer it but let the main focus be on the water and all the other stuff is in a different tab on the screen.

Have you stopped creating content?

Hi Shane, I subscribed recently and, as I'm only starting, I appreciate your very useful content. Would like to know if you have tried the concept 2 slides with the Ergrow and your impressions. Thank you!

I just picked up a little hydraulic rower as I don’t have much space. Trying to get some mobility back as I have MS. Are the hydraulic rowers any good? Ps it was quite cheap on FB market place

Where did you go?? Missing you

Is Shane no longer doing videos? or doing dark horse rowing training anymore?

Shane, where have you gone? Just got my Concept2 and found your wonderful videos, you are a gem! Truly! Now I see your last vid was 6 months ago, you ok?

Why won’t you reply to these questions? I really thought you were more responsible than that! Disappointed …

Really wish there was an update. Hope all is well.

Hey Mr. Rower guy I have a weird issue about 10-15 min in my lower body goes numb like if I sit on the toilet for 10-15 minutes. Any idea how to avoid this. It by like my foot and calf.

Does rowing slim your waist?

I am pretty big into jump roping and follow the zendudes. They are very enjoyable. You have the same vibe which I really appreciate. You have me excited to start my journey with my new waterrower. Happy New Year to you and thanks for your positive and approachable outlook. I plan on using your follow alongs and then creating my own workouts and using my seconds pro app. I have tons of my own workouts in that app and I strongly suggest it. I don’t think any of the monitors really suit my needs. Rather use my WiFi, Apple Watch and home network. To each their own. Thanks again.

Just 2cents...I watch your videos regularly, but the change of video shots ,side shots while you're talking is so distracting .Keeping the shot of you talking directly to the camera keeps the personal touch that , I think makes your videos better than others to watch. I worry that you're trying to improve on something you already had perfect.

You are a rock for this machine, no way !

Beautiful piece of equipment but you will rock it easy

You have been such a motion on my workout, loving your workout! Nice k

Does anyone out there have any tips to combat the lower back tension I've recently experienced when I row ? Thanks in advance.

If you do enough reps on this machine, you'll get some good cardio going. It operates smoothly. If you don't fold it up, it takes up a long footprint.
