Best Rower on the Market

The quality is tops! The coached rowing workouts helped ease me into it and made it very fun. Free rowing in virtual locations make time fly by. The adjustable foot beds and the high seat are unlike anything else available. We are very happy we bought…

New Podium Awesome

The Podium Treadmill is a well built, solid machine. It has a soft deck and the motor is whisper quiet. It has all the great Aviron software. Great features, cup holders, wireless charger, heart rate monitor in the hand rails, and the controls up front.

Love it!

Everything has been great so far. Biggest issue was coordinating delivery with UPS, since they kept coming earlier than what they scheduled. I have a fair amount of rowing experience, but have learned a few new things from the first sessions for beginners. Got…

Engaging and fun workout

I bought this rower because a coworker commented that her has never been able to maintain an exercise habit but that he now finds himself at work wishing he was on his rower. Week after week, he shared stats showing his improved conditioning and after 6 months…

Damn, this is quality!

I looked at a lot of rowers, and honestly couldn’t tell one from another. After watching an online influencer go through what qualities a good machine would have, I settled on Aviron. Expensive, but I want to enjoy the workout, use good form, be…
