Memorial Day is upon us, and there are some amazing sales out there worth diving into already. Take Hydrow, for example, one of our favorite at-home exercise brands that our Features Editor has thoroughly tested to confirm as much.

Why the Hydrow Became My Exercise Snack of Choice
It turns out the home rowing machine is just as good for packing in short workouts during busy days as it is for long, sustained efforts

Named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Best Inventions of 2020, Hydrow was created by the sport’s diehards. The brand operates (where else?) out of Cambridge, MA, and classes are led live on real rivers from London to San Francisco by athletes with National Rowing team experience.

As they tout, a 22” touchscreen “brings the river to your living room,” while an electromagnetic drag mechanism aims to mimic the feel of the water. All told, it’s a dynamite full-body exercise, capable of working out 86% of the muscles in your body.

So it’s time to ditch your 20-year-old treadmill and get a Hydrow rowing machine. Hydrow’s Memorial Day sale allows you to snag amazing deals on their Hydrow Origin, Wave and Arc models. We would recommend checking out their website to see how awesome these machines are for yourself (the Hydrow Arc Rower is their latest, with their latest technological advancement, HydroMetrics).

If you’re feeling ready to take the plunge, we’ve dropped three discounted rowers below:
