Hydrow Connected Rower £1,995, shop.hydrow.co.uk

FULL IMMERSION The high-tech Hydrow delivers a comprehensive rowing 101, providing immersive workouts and video tutorials to help you perfect your technique. EXPERT VERDICT The motivational coaches and immersive classes make it ideal for beginners. It’s on the larger side and the lack of an easy ‘just row’ option is an oversight, but the electromagnetic drag mechanism felt velvety smooth.
