Concept 2 is the rower's choice. Agree you need someone to show you the proper form.

We ordered ours from Costco.com. We love it and very easily shipped to our house.

My husband got one, I swear because he wants to be Frank Underwood. He really likes it, but, like all things, he was hard core for a few weeks and now might hop on once a week.

Concept 2 is the industry standard, but I've not compared it to the WaterRower.

From a former rower, just consider that you'd need someone to teach how you to use it properly, if you don't already know how. It's not going to be a great workout unless you know what you're doing.

We are thinking of getting one. Have had a treadmill for about 6 years, and it gets reasonably frequent use (about 6 times per week), so we don't just hang laundry on workout equipment. Would like something else that incorporates a more full-body cardio workout, but aren't interested in an elliptical. So, thinking of a rowing machine, and it looks like either WaterRower or Concept 2 are the way to go. Aesthetically, we prefer the WaterRower. If anyone has one, do you like it? Dislike it? Anything we should consider before buying? Thanks!
