New to Prime Day? We have a primer on everything you need to know. Sales are accurate at the time of publication, but prices and inventory are always subject to change.
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.
