Original Hydrow Pro Rower

Hydrow's Iconic Full-Size Connected Rower

Experience smooth, immersive indoor rowing with the Hydrow Origin Rower, Hydrow's flagship full-size rowing machine designed to recreate the feel of rowing on the water.

Originally introduced as the Hydrow Pro Rower, the Origin combines Hydrow's patented electromagnetic resistance system with a substantial aluminum-and-steel frame and smooth polyester webbing for quiet, responsive operation.

An integrated 22" Full HD touchscreen brings Hydrow's athlete-led workouts and scenic rowing experiences directly into your home. The display can also be repositioned for compatible strength, mobility, yoga, Pilates, and other off-rower training.

With support for users weighing up to 375 lb, inseams up to 36 inches, Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity, Wi-Fi, optional Ethernet, and compatibility with supported fitness platforms, the Origin provides a complete connected rowing experience for serious home training.

Durable polyester webbing contributes to the rower's smooth, quiet drive motion.

Up to 36" Inseam

The full-size rowing platform accommodates users with inseams up to approximately 36 inches.

The Original Hydrow Experience

The Origin is the evolution of the machine originally known as the Hydrow Pro Rower.

Its full-size aluminum-and-steel construction, electromagnetic resistance system, and large 22" display established Hydrow's approach to connected rowing.

Today, Hydrow positions the renamed Origin as its flagship essential rower, sitting alongside the smaller Wave and performance-focused Arc.

Rowing Designed to Feel Like Water

Instead of using a traditional air fan or water tank to generate resistance, the Origin uses Hydrow's patented electromagnetic drag mechanism.

The system is designed to provide smooth resistance throughout the rowing stroke while keeping operation quiet.

Hydrow's adjustable drag range allows you to modify the feel of the stroke, with a setting around 104 intended to approximate on-the-water resistance.

Immersive 22" Full HD Display

The integrated 22" Full HD touchscreen provides a substantially larger viewing experience than the 16" display found on the Hydrow Wave.

With 1920 × 1080 resolution, the screen provides a clear view of athlete-led workouts, outdoor rowing destinations, performance information, and other supported Hydrow content.

The display can also be repositioned when transitioning from rowing to compatible floor-based workouts.

Connected Training with Hydrow

The Hydrow platform extends beyond conventional indoor rowing.

Depending on Hydrow's current membership offering, available training can include rowing, strength, mobility, Pilates, yoga, conditioning, and other workout formats.

Personalized recommendations can help surface workouts based on your performance, interests, and goals.

Track Your Progress

Hydrow tracks supported workout metrics and performance information so you can follow your progress over time.

Compatible fitness services can also be connected to help bring rowing and other workout information into your broader fitness-tracking ecosystem.

Built for a Wide Range of Users

The Origin's full-size frame supports users weighing up to 375 lb (170 kg) and accommodates inseams up to approximately 36 inches.

The rower measures approximately 86" L × 25" W × 47" H, providing a substantial training platform while maintaining a relatively narrow 25-inch footprint.

Optional Upright Storage

When you need to reclaim floor space, the Origin can be stored vertically using Hydrow's separately sold Upright Storage Kit.

When properly secured upright, the rower occupies approximately 25" W × 33" D × 86" H.

The Upright Storage Kit is required for safe vertical storage and should be installed and used according to Hydrow's instructions.
