Hydrow Unveils “Hydrow Wave Pro”: The Next Evolution in Connected Rowing

Hydrow, the leader in connected rowing machines, has unveiled its latest innovation, the Hydrow Wave Pro, a cutting-edge rowing machine designed to bring professional-grade rowing into the homes of fitness enthusiasts everywhere. Announced today during a virtual launch event, the Wave Pro builds on the success of the original Hydrow and Hydrow Wave, delivering enhanced performance metrics, immersive experiences, and a sleeker, more compact design.

Rowing Redefined

The Hydrow Wave Pro is equipped with advanced features aimed at providing users with an authentic, water-like rowing experience. Its ultra-quiet electromagnetic resistance system mimics the natural drag of water, while updated motion sensors capture every detail of a user’s stroke, offering real-time feedback on form and efficiency.

“Our mission has always been to deliver the world’s most immersive and effective rowing experience,” said Hydrow CEO Bruce Smith. “The Wave Pro takes that promise to the next level with technology that meets the needs of elite athletes and beginners alike.”

New Features of the Hydrow Wave Pro

  1. Enhanced Performance Metrics
    The Wave Pro introduces Hydrow Pulse+, an AI-driven system that tracks stroke rate, power output, and heart rate variability, helping users optimize their workouts and reach their goals faster.

  2. Immersive Waterway Experiences
    The updated 22-inch HD touchscreen delivers stunning live and on-demand rowing workouts filmed on iconic waterways around the globe. Users can row along the Thames, the Hudson, or even remote Scandinavian fjords with real-time coaching from world-class athletes.

  3. Compact Design for Modern Homes
    The Wave Pro is 20% smaller than its predecessor, making it ideal for urban living spaces. Despite its compact size, it maintains the stability and durability that Hydrow is known for.

  4. Gamified Workouts
    A new gamification feature allows users to compete with friends and fellow rowers worldwide, adding an extra layer of motivation and engagement.

A Focus on Recovery and Wellness

Beyond performance, the Wave Pro emphasizes recovery and overall wellness. Hydrow has introduced a recovery-focused series of classes, including yoga, stretching, and meditation, to complement intense rowing sessions. These are available through the Hydrow app, which integrates seamlessly with the Wave Pro.

“Fitness is about more than just pushing hard,” said Hydrow’s Head of Wellness, Sarah Moseley. “We want to help people recover, reset, and build a sustainable routine.”

Market Impact

The Wave Pro enters a competitive market for connected fitness equipment, joining brands like Peloton and Tonal in a race to redefine home workouts. However, analysts believe Hydrow’s focus on rowing—a full-body, low-impact workout—positions it uniquely within the industry.

“Rowing offers a combination of cardio and strength training that few other machines can match,” said a fitness industry expert. “The Wave Pro builds on Hydrow’s already-strong reputation and could solidify its place as the leader in this space.”

Consumer Excitement and Availability

The Hydrow Wave Pro is available for preorder starting today, with shipments beginning in late March 2024. The machine retails for $2,495, with financing options and a $44 monthly subscription for access to the full library of classes and features.

Social media buzz surrounding the launch has been electric, with early adopters praising the compact design, advanced metrics, and expanded content library.

The Future of Connected Rowing

As fitness trends continue to prioritize both innovation and convenience, the Hydrow Wave Pro represents the next step in connected fitness. With its combination of cutting-edge technology, immersive content, and a focus on total wellness, the Wave Pro is poised to make waves—both literally and figuratively—in the fitness world.

“Rowing is for everyone,” said Bruce Smith during the launch. “And with the Wave Pro, we’re making it easier than ever to experience the benefits of this incredible sport, no matter where you live or what your fitness level may be.”
