The Echelon Row-S delivers a solid mid-range rowing experience, combining smooth magnetic resistance with a connected, class-based training format that's great for motivation-driven users. It's not the most premium build on the market, but its compact folding design, quiet operation, and accessible price point make it a strong choice for home gyms with limited space, provided you're willing to invest in the ongoing app subscription to unlock its full potential.
I was worried about fitting a rowing machine in my apartment, but the fold-up design is a game changer. The resistance feels smooth and the classes keep me coming back.
Works great and rows quietly even early in the morning. Just be prepared to pay for the app if you want the full experience — the machine alone is fairly basic without it.
The rower itself is comfortable and sturdy, but my heart rate strap drops connection mid-class sometimes. Support was helpful but it's still an occasional annoyance.
Folds up easily after every session and the screen rotates so I can also use it for floor workouts. Highly recommend for anyone tight on space.
More equipment worth considering for your setup.
