Lots of crappy comments by uninformed people who most probably have never tried one of those magnetic rowers. I've been rowing on a Domyos 500 for a year now and must say that this machine is worth every penny, and so far it's proven to be extremely reliable and sturdy. Build and materials are overall on par with much pricier machines, seating is comfortable, wireless connectivity with training apps (such as Kinomap) as well as with all kinds of chest straps works just fine, all the main performance parameters are monitored. So it's safe to say that it offers more than adequate performance for most non-professional users interested in keeping fit at a sensible pricetag.
Hi, I could really use the opinion from someone who actually owns Domyos 500 and use it for a period of time. I'm thinking about buying one for home use and I really don't want to make mistake.
I really wanted to have a Concept 2. BUT, the math makes it impossible where I live. A Concept2 costs 5.5 times more here than in US. So I HAD to settle with a Domyos 120. It's silent, it works, I am using for the last three months, 2- 3 times weekly. I use a mobile App with it (Start Rowing) with a good training program and do not rely much on its display, only for distance measuring. The only thing that bothers me is that the catch is kind of low like he said and I have a belly so it worries me about back problems. Due to the pandemic I have no instructor and gyms are closed. It was a very high investment so I must adjust somehow to it, am looking for advice. Think like if it was in US and the Domyos 120 would "cost" $3000 and the Concept2 $8000. So you know.
Never buy the Xterra 220 magnetic is absolute garbage,your feet slip out all the time living a bad pain in your legs,my next purchase is the Concept 2,learned my lesson the hard way.
Hi Shane, I'm really glad that you have tested Domyos equipment. I have just bought the Domyos 120 rower you tested and I am quite disappointed that I haven't found a community of users for this machine. I am a beginner and I cannot give an deep review on the machine, but it has been of great use in these pandemic times. There are somethings I dislike on this machine e though. The display will only show distance with more than one decimal point, which means I am only able to measure my progress each 100m and it feel frustrating as it too much of distance for a begginer. I was a little suspicious about the monitor precision, since my all out efforts give something of 1km in 10 minute's and though I may not be a super athlete, far form it actually, I thought I could do way better. It gets even weirder since the catch drill you tought would show 100m for each 20 "strokes". I think this should mean my 1k time should be better, doesn't it? Well, this been said the machine has allowed me to keep some physical activity, and mental health. Thank you for your work. I always watch your videos for guidance
I got my 500b few weeks back and a happy user for beginners rower. Reason bought this is due to the size and the connectivity, and it’s self powered! The only complain is the extension from the bar is shorter then c2. But it is what it is for the smaller footprint!
Hi from Italy, really cool vid and i liked every little tip you give on rowing! for example how you hint that even with the bungee one, we could strap/loop some gym elastic band maybe with its own handles too and have a way at burning calories as well. I'm surprised from most comments how the noise factor is underrated. I've had a go at the Domyos ones just like you do here, and the 500 seemed to me ok to offer some decent resistance, but let's all keep in mind it's around 400 euros, and a Concept 2 is about 1200€ ain't it. And then the noise. I gotta say I find it important and the water one is great. Very relaxing, but also motivating. Both the others may be irritating/stressful, but the magnetic ones are still quite silent, at least it's a good point on them. And as soon as I hear the air ones like the C2, I feel kinda thirsty and that the room is getting a very dry environment, to be swearing at it then lol. Personal, of course. Just saying, every rower makes sense on its own, probably. And, it might not have the most precise counter in the world, I can do without really, I'll have burnt say 250 calories instead of 300, at an amateur level it's ok to keep fit, along with other sports. It is often argued that most gym machines are inherently more or less accurate in the calories bill anyway, ex. spin bikes vs ellipticals vs rowers. Whatev... PS. I've seen a spring-activated rower, in the Uk it's called BR3010, in Europe "Stringmaster" by Capital Sports. I'm finding very few reviews here on the net. Some look ok, from sportive people, and some decent value for money, maybe? It would be great to know your opinion about it! Sorry for the long comment. Total respect! 😎✌
Your review really helps! Thanks
I have a WaterRower with S4 and Bluetooth 1,045$ + $60 with an Ergatta hooked up $550. Also a laptop/tablet holder underneath ($150) that I use to play Hydrow and/or iFit, CityRow, and other instructor led courses. So pretty much I said f*ck you to the industry and cheated everybody by spending less and getting getting the best of all 3 worlds and took the best parts from each 😎
Wish I lived near a store that cool.
This was such a fun video! I enjoyed getting to see you work your way up through the various rowing machines.
I’m glad I went with C2 for my first rower. A nice machine like that just makes you want to regularly use it. I’ve had cheap workout gear in the past and it was often an exercise in frustration. Not the kind of equipment you’re very proud of, compelling you to go intense with it.
I got the 120 at the beginning of lockdown because it was available and cheap. I'm short so it's been great and yes I row along to you most days. Your also right only down side is the monitor. But it's compact and quite.
I've bought Endurance R300 by Body Solid. My first rower. Fits me, fits my budget, which is also very important. It could use better display, but since I do it for me and don't need minute details - it is more than sufficient. Good quality, well made, sturdy - all I need.
Oh! You were (sort of) nearby!
This is fascinating. Many thanks. More comments to follow when I've watched the video a couple of times.
Hi, thanks for reviewing all différent modèls, it helps a lot when you're a beginner liké me!
Quarantine equipment help! Great video - I was thinking of getting the Decathlon 100 as a cheap way to get some cardio while I'm stuck here in my 21-day hotel quarantine in Hong Kong, but having seen it in action I don't think it's worth bothering with. I'll find some other way to get some cardio in 😂
With the water rower i fill mine to the max fill indicator line and the resistance on the drive depends on what I put into it with my legs. When I really put give it some power, the resistance gets quite ridiculous lol
Decathlon is honorable French company, they are very popular in Morocco and around the world, they make quality products
