By minute five you're usually counting the seconds. On an Aviron there's always something to watch or play, so time flies.
“I hate cardio. Hate it. … I've been using it every single day since I bought it and actually look forward to it.”
“I knew cardio was good for me, but I dreaded it. … I've had it for a month, haven't missed a day on it, … and I simply didn't do cardio before this machine.”
“I struggled with working out. The workouts I created for myself were just too long and boring. … Now, before I know it, an hour has passed and I'm done. I have lost 14 pounds since the beginning of the year (1-month).”
“I workout for hours watching all my favorite movies and shows - never bored like I used to be.”
“I don't love exercise, in general. The games and challenges have kept me interested and engaged. I love the variety.”
“I struggle with exercising as I just really don’t enjoy it. … I find playing the games keeps my mind off of what I am actually doing and pushes me to work harder than I normally would.”
You've tried gym memberships and apps, and there's a machine at home holding laundry. None of it stuck because it was boring.
“I've exercised on and off throughout my life. Can honestly say my year with Aviron has been my most consistent year of working out since high school!”
“Every piece of home exercise equipment I’ve purchased through the years has turned into an expensive clothing rack … I’m on it every day and love the variety of options.”
“I have had just about every kind of machine there is and I fizzle out with them every time. … so far I have gone from 0 exercise to 4 times a week interval workouts.”
“My husband and I were sick of being out of shape and decided we needed to make a change. … We went from not working out at all in the last 8 years to doing it every other day.”
“I am motivated to exercise again after being sedentary for a while and having a hard time finding any type of exercise that I could do and that I'd stick with. My only regret is not finding Aviron sooner.”
“It's not something I enjoy and I end up reverting back to old habits with in 2 weeks. … I workout more consistently and for longer than I planned.”
Work and kids come first. You fit in 20 minutes whenever you can.
“I work and have a 4 year old, so time is very limited as you parents will agree. My Aviron lets me squeeze in a fun strong workout when I can and keeps me consistent.”
“Ultimately i can always find something that will get me moving that day. Even if I only have 10 min, there's workouts for that.”
“My husband and I are really enjoying working out … we have 3 young kids and live on a farm with livestock so we are extremely short on time and this allows us to both get a solid workout daily!”
“I always struggled with finding the time to work out and this product allows you to have a solid workout completed in around 20 minutes and feel like you have accomplished something when its done.”
“My schedule is busy & unpredictable but this makes working out ready & available whenever I want it.”
“I’m a busy mom of 5 and I work full time. There is always things I could be doing. … I have reached limits I didn’t know I was capable of because I was no longer thinking about the workout.”
You want everyone at home to be active. It has to be something your partner and the kids will actually want to use.
“The kids love the games, my wife loves the programs, and I love the virtual destinations.”
“I have a teenager who dislikes being active. Day 1: 20 minutes straight on a game, SMILING THE ENTIRE TIME! … no encouragement to do so from mom.”
“This machine is very EZ to get addicted to. … Even my husband who is anti exercise is on it.”
“One pleasant surprise was that both my kids (10 and 13) both fight over getting time on the rower. Been great for the whole family.”
“… the Aviron Rower has something for everyone in our family: from teens, to myself and my wife, who are demanding in our workouts, to our senior parents who don’t get outside as much as they should.”
“Our whole family gets in on the fun we each created our own profile and we are constantly comparing and competing against each other to be our best selves.”
You work out regularly and you know what a hard session feels like. You want workouts that push you and show you the numbers.
“I have been lifting weights for 40 years and this is the hardest workout I have ever experienced … And all of that was on a beginning setting!”
“I am super competitive (5x World Champion BKFC) and having leaderboards with Aviron helps keep me motivated to get extra cardio in!”
“It has been the best full body workout I’ve ever used in a lifetime of consistent exercise. … At age 75, I am in the best physical condition of my life: 6’3”, 192 lbs, 32 inch waist, healthy heart and BP.”
“As a collegiate and masters rower, I have spent countless hours on a Concept II erg. … Working out is fun and being able to compete against other people makes workouts go by quicker and pushes you harder than you thought.”
“Tons of programs too and plenty that kick my butt. My initial concern was that there wasn’t going to be much to push me but that’s definitely not the case.”
“I would say I keep after my fitness, in general, more than the average person. … I can accomplish the same physical energy output in half the time and it makes my crazy evenings much more efficient!”
Your knees, back or hips have some miles on them. You want a real workout that goes easy on them.
“I've had both knees replaced over the past 5 years … Now with all the endless workout options on my Aviron, my motivation has returned.”
“I use to enjoy running and walking but as I have gotten older, my knees are not the same. … it is a total body workout that is easy on the joints like knees and hips.”
“Being a heavier man with knee issues it's perfect to go hard for 15 minutes then go easy for another 15 and not hurt all over while also feeling like I had a good workout.”
“I'm 67 and have a disability … I'm now on my 6th week straight of using it daily with no issues or problems on my part.”
“I needed to find a low impact way to workout after a complete meniscus tear. … I am still discovering all it has to offer as I rebuild my right knee to be better and stronger.”
“We both have had some lower back issues, and in this short six week period we both are experiencing improvement.”

...when an impulse buy turns into a lifestyle
I bought the Aviron rower on a whim, thinking to myself, "This looks cool. I think it would keep me interested." I usually feel every second of misery on cardio machines and was just hoping for the best. It's been almost three months and I've rowed at least…

Our Aviron Strong Rower Is More Amazing Than We Thought It Would Be
We didn’t expect to be wowed by our Aviron Strong Rower, based on reviews, but it’s exceeded our expectations. We chose it mainly because it stores vertically without a wall anchor, and its low center of gravity makes it feel completely stable. We’ve owned a…

Perfect.
Perfect delivery, perfect set-up, perfect programs, perfect rows, perfect machine. Not exaggerating either.

I struggle with exercising as I just really don’t enjoy it. With this bike I find playing the games keeps my mind off of what I am actually doing and pushes me to work harder than I normally would. I hope it will last but so far I am very happy with my…
