Hydrow Wave Rower

Immersive On-the-Water Rowing in a Sleek, Compact Design

Bring the feeling of rowing on the water into your home with the Hydrow Wave Rower, a connected rowing machine combining Hydrow's smooth electromagnetic resistance system, immersive training platform, and a sleek open-frame design.

The Wave features Hydrow's patented electromagnetic drag mechanism, engineered to provide smooth, nearly silent resistance designed to recreate the feel of rowing through water.

An integrated 16" Full HD touchscreen brings Hydrow's athlete-led workouts and scenic rowing destinations directly into your training space, while HydroMetrics performance tracking provides deeper insight into your power, precision, and endurance.

At approximately 80" long × 19" wide, the Wave offers a smaller footprint than Hydrow's larger rowing machines while still supporting users weighing up to 375 lb and inseams up to 36 inches.

Available in a range of distinctive colors, the Hydrow Wave combines performance, connected training, and modern design in a rower built for everyday home fitness.

Rowing That Feels Like Water

Hydrow's electromagnetic resistance system is designed around recreating the smooth feel of an oar moving through water.

Instead of using air or water tanks to generate resistance, the Wave uses a patented electromagnetic drag mechanism.

The system provides smooth resistance throughout each stroke while helping keep mechanical noise low.

Adjustable Electromagnetic Drag

The Wave's electromagnetic resistance can be adjusted through a broad 50–300 drag range.

Hydrow identifies approximately 104 as the setting designed to replicate the resistance of rowing on water.

Rather than simply treating resistance as a conventional difficulty setting, Hydrow's system is designed to change the feel of the rowing stroke while your own effort and stroke rate continue to determine workout intensity.

HydroMetrics Performance Insights

Hydrow's HydroMetrics platform goes beyond basic workout totals.

The system analyzes your rowing across Precision, Power, and Endurance, creating a HydroMetrics Index that helps illustrate how you're performing and where improvements can be made.

Post-workout insights can highlight achievements and provide guidance for future training, helping you develop a more efficient rowing stroke over time.

Immersive 16" Full HD Display

The integrated 16" Full HD touchscreen brings Hydrow's connected training environment directly to the rower.

With 1920 × 1080 resolution, the display provides a clear view of instructor-led workouts, scenic rowing destinations, performance information, and other supported content.

Front-facing speakers provide integrated workout audio, while Bluetooth allows you to use compatible wireless headphones or speakers when preferred.

Connected Training with Hydrow

The Hydrow platform provides access to a large library of rowing and complementary fitness workouts.

Depending on Hydrow's current membership offering, available training can include different rowing formats, recovery sessions, HIIT, strength, Pilates, yoga, mobility, and conditioning.

Hydrow films rowing workouts in waterways and destinations around the world, creating an experience designed to feel different from conventional studio-based indoor cardio.

Compact Without Sacrificing Capacity

The Wave measures approximately 80" L × 19" W × 43" H and weighs approximately 102 lb.

Despite its relatively narrow footprint, the rower supports users weighing up to 375 lb and accommodates inseams up to approximately 36 inches.

This gives the Wave broad user compatibility while requiring less floor space than Hydrow's larger rowing machines.

Optional Upright Storage

When floor space is needed for other activities, the Wave can be stored vertically using Hydrow's separately available Wave Vertical Anchor.

Properly stored upright, the rower occupies approximately 26.5" W × 30" D × 82" H.

The Vertical Anchor is required for safe upright storage and should be installed and used according to Hydrow's instructions.
