Love what you are building! I'm a huge fan of meditation but haven't found one I can keep with. I've tried all the apps but fall off after a couple of sessions or weeks. I'm going to sign up for the free trial. Do you recommend any classes, preferably shorter ones, that I should start with?

Hey Steven! I'm familiar with you guys and actually recommended you in one of the posts. Love what you are doing. We are both helping more people enjoy the benefits of rowing.

Great point. I will add that RW600 does require a reoccurring membership for $468/yr after the first year.

We usually try not to position ourselves as the Peloton for rowing but it made sense here for people to quickly understand what we do.

I think Peloton adding a rower is a great thing, it is going to bring more awareness to the benefits of rowing. We differentiate ourselves from Peloton through out content. While they are best in class at instructor led workouts, we aim to be best in class at high intensity and competitive video games, races, and strength programs. There is certainly going to be some overlap.

We added a variety of guided off the rower programs that include exercises like push-ups. We even do things like use the frame to let the user perform incline and decline push-ups.

I can understand that. When Peloton first came out they were releasing content as often as we are now. Over time I'm sure we will get better. Thank you!

Thank you!!! I appreciate you taking the time to write this. Tough crowd but they make some valid points I can learn from.

I agree. But a lot of people split the cost of the machine and membership with multiple people in a household.

And a lot of people value the convenience of being able to have a fun and engaging workout any time, in the comfort of home.

Thank you! Reoccurring revenue is just the name of the game now :)

Thanks for the feedback! Looks like we have to make improvements in our marketing.

There are a variety of exercises that utilize the rower and are guided by instructions on the screen. Some involve the rower like bicep curls and tricep extensions (requires standing up and bending forward) and some don't like push-ups and dips.

We decided to incorporate some exercises outside of rowing because customers requested it. We are happy we did because the feedback has been great.
