Hi Shane. Did I miss something you posted about taking a break or are you no longer posting RUclips training videos?
Would love to know too, hope all is well!
Wondering the same thing. Haven’t seen any training videos in a long time
Where have you gone Shane
I miss Dark Horse's training videos too. I hope all is well.
Is this channel still a thing? It's been about 4 months now without an upload just wondering.
Great review.
Concept2 beats the water rowers in my opinion…. I’m really happy with my investment!
Thank you for making it fun to row!!!!!!
More Concept2 sprint workouts!
Thank you. Def working on bringing more fun content
What I noticed at the end of the video, was something I wondered about the monitor as you were reviewing it. That is the ability for the screen to flip, it means you can stand the rower up once done with it but still use the monitor for other workouts if you need the space. That's a cool feature that could often be overlooked.
One of the most useful reviews I've seen for this setup. Going in depth on their specific studio experience (and prompting the viewer to consider studio vs water experience) brought up a lot I would not have considered otherwise. Definitely helped make the decision easy. (Now, tell me I'm not the only one wanting to dump glitter into the water tank ...)
Hadn't thought of this. But once you ring that bell...
I use water rower and it's my favorite. I used Concept at the gym. I kept going back to water rower. The woosh is what keeps me going back. Thank you for the workouts. I am addicted to the rowing and your guided workouts are so helpful.
I have a Concept 2 and my most favorite rowing is rowing to your RUclips videos. I would subscribe to workouts put out by you.. if it was on a more regular basis. Possibly even catching you live
I've been considering a paid subscription with the assumption that it would provide daily workouts led by Shane. Is this not the case? Guess I could try the free two weeks to find out.
I had a waterrower 20 years ago. It was quiet, worked well, and I wasn't too in to the monitor, so any drawbacks there didn't bother me. Right up until the water container cracked and it leaked out onto my carpets.
Bought a Concept 2, since that was what I used in college back in the day. Haven't looked back since.
Great review mate. If I’m honest I’m really happy with my JTX ignite air. I was originally aiming for the concept 2 but it was out of my budget. I’m ok with that though as the only drawback I can see with mine is a lack of connectivity to keep a track on how I’m doing, I can always pick up a pen and paper to do that though 🤣 (so old school🤦♂️). As you say they all have their place. Thanks for keeping this old feels motivated in the UK. 👊🙏☕️
I love my machine, so I’m not looking to change (Water Rower for long legged people) - BUT it’s cool to see others. HOWEVER - when I saw the studio experience I found myself yelling at the screen - WHY??? You are here!! AND - their set up, In my opinion , isn’t even a 10th as good as yours. I love that we see you from the side so that we can match your stroke. Thank you for all you do. My blood pressure went from 120/80 to 120/60 because of the rowing I do (with you motiving me through videos.) Thank you!
Shane, where have you gone? Just got my Concept2 and found your wonderful videos, you are a gem! Truly! Now I see your last vid was 6 months ago, you ok?
You are a rock for this machine, no way !
Hello. What is the status of the channel? Since joined you didn’t post anything. The repository of workout and tips videos is huge (and great by the way!) so I still have years of work ahead of me but I wanted to know if something is wrong with you or the channel. Thanks!
Danke dir! Endlich habe ich Spaß an meinem Waterrower und sehe Erfolge! Weiter so!
Another great review Shane, thanks.
I have a water rower and feel the same about the seat to foot height. It pinches at the hip, doesn't help that I have a wee bit of a belly going on after the holidays. Have to step up my workouts with your help. Thanks again for keeping us all motivated.
Ok, so I'm not alone in that?
I love the City Row team - Shaun being my #1 followed by Al and Shea. Glad to hear you speak to their quality as instructors. I already had a WaterRower and subscribe via my iPhone but City Row has gotten me over 175k km and counting and never thought I would enjoy getting on my rower as I do now that is to the City Row team. I love the sound of the water slushing with each row - killer.
You’ve been off the erg for a long time!
It’s good to see you back in the saddle.
We hope everything is OK.
I agree with you on not doing the studio workout and still think concept 2 erg and skierg combo is the best. Plus flexibility to do own workouts is better. Plus as a former rower I think your channel and instruction is the best! City rower should pick you up you are an incredibly talented coach.
Thanks for this! I’m going to buy the classic one and use it without the connected experience. I like the black Waterrower they created!
You have been such a motion on my workout, loving your workout! Nice k
Damn, this production quality >>>
For me, I definitely like the Ergatta better with the more gaming focused design. That is what keeps me motivated to improve. Ergatta definitely has the open row option too, where you can set a time or distance goal instead of doing one of their workouts.
Good review! Thanks!
That is why I chose Aviron cause of the games and I think it will keep me motivated. Their FB community is great. I don't have mine yet. I looked at this Ergatta, Hydrow, Nordic Track even Concept' Once you look at one you get ads for them all even one called LIT which no one talks about was on my list. I watched Videos and read reviews on several and saw the Hydrow at BB the other day.
Even though I own a concept 2 I still love to check out the new toys. What surprised me is their App connects to the PM5 I might give app a try with a 14 day trial. It’s all about getting and staying motivated. Variety is the spice of life so to speak.
I am pretty big into jump roping and follow the zendudes. They are very enjoyable. You have the same vibe which I really appreciate. You have me excited to start my journey with my new waterrower. Happy New Year to you and thanks for your positive and approachable outlook. I plan on using your follow alongs and then creating my own workouts and using my seconds pro app. I have tons of my own workouts in that app and I strongly suggest it. I don’t think any of the monitors really suit my needs. Rather use my WiFi, Apple Watch and home network. To each their own. Thanks again.
I get what you say about the feeling of a water rower. It's nice to see this one allows your feet to be further apart, but the foot rest still looks to be pretty high. I can't get comfortable on any that I've tried (mainly out of curiosity as I wouldn't part with my Concept2). There is a really odd feel to the belt driven rowers for me. They do sound nice though.
Now, for the connected space, someone needs to come up with an effective way to (retro)fit a decent sized screen to a Concept2 - and then I'd still probably just row to my music as all thought becomes impossible when trying not to die in that last 500m ;)
I was interested in this one when I was trying to decide it was on my list.
I have a WaterRower and very happy. Watching video at 4:51 saw clip of studio experience - yuck on that! your set up - where I can see your full row to follow along - SOOOOO much better!!! I don’t need their experience when you have more than enough videos (*but keep making more.). Thank you for all the hard work you do. A waterrower will allow you to have a bunch of ASMR which would be cool to follow along with :-)
Specifically the XerrorMueller (sp?) model. And, I use the cushion pads you recommended in another video which helps raise me up. My start with rowing was on Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas. Which could by why I love (and need) the sound of water for my workouts :-)
Super cool video!
Great review! And I would love to find a water rower with a large screen and great speakers that just let me row down various around the world. That's all. I don't want the "studio" experience, I don't want some person yapping at me "you can do it!" Just let me be out on the water with pleasant music I can choose and my metrics. I don't need all that other stuff. Or they could offer it but let the main focus be on the water and all the other stuff is in a different tab on the screen.
I bought a cheapo used water rower on marketplace, made a couple tweaks to it, including the concept2 handle. Unfortunately the monitor is useless and doesn’t track anything well at all, but overall I like the water rower for home since it’s so quiet, and I’ll leave my higher intensity workouts to the studio and their concept2s when I need that extra level of data
If you do enough reps on this machine, you'll get some good cardio going. It operates smoothly. If you don't fold it up, it takes up a long footprint.
Great review. We bought a Ezxfitness water machine with no monitor (always follow with you and do all your tutorials). Love the look of it and the smoothness. Does the amount ff water you put in the wheel effect the drag factor.and make it harder? I’m afraid to experiment due to Rui in the machine or causing a flood. Probably a very silly question. Many thanks or all your help and advice.
Hi Shane, I subscribed recently and, as I'm only starting, I appreciate your very useful content. Would like to know if you have tried the concept 2 slides with the Ergrow and your impressions. Thank you!
A great review. We relatively recently bought a Ezxfitness water rower. - doesn’t have a monitor but we do all your tutorials, which have been fantastic. This is probably a v silly question but..does the amount of water you put in the wheel effect the drag factor, making a harder pull? Frightened of experimenting in case break the machine and cause a flood! Many thanks for all your help - you’ve been terrific.
Really wish there was an update. Hope all is well.
The way you can actually have a full convo while rowing is honestly goals lolol
Hahaha, lost my breath there a bit
Beautiful piece of equipment but you will rock it easy
Nice review! @darkhorserowing have you thought about publishing workouts and so on in Kinomap? I find the integration with the concept 2 is great, but I miss your workouts there.
I will stick with the Concept 2 Rower. Had one for 5 years. I also love your videos to work out with. I have a 24" monitor in front of me to use. WHY pay for a rower that has a monitor built in. I only paid $100.00 for it VIZIO. I have also tried other types of rowing videos, and Apps, and don't compare to your video's. THANKS SHANE!!!!!
Wow, now that’s glowing. Thank you!
Hey, what do you think about the slides for the Concept2? Did you try them, do they feel weird?
hi , i was wondering whether the Maffetone heart rate training tecnique can be apllied to those starting out on the Rowing machine?
thanks in advance..
I ended up with a Hydrower and wish I had taken time to research rowing machines a little more. I did dodge a bullet because the first rower I looked at did not have the option to have it work without a subscription. Yeah! I did good there. I hate the games of rowing to the city and had no idea what the heck a split was about or even a spin rate. I tried some of the stuff built in and hated it, especially the scenic views where you go nowhere. Did not understand any of it and really didn't like the trainer guy built in with the system... mostly because I could not hear him. A few weeks back they added RUclips, Disney, etc. I found Dark Horse rowing and it was the first time I was motivated to actually do a 20 minute workout!!!! Thank you for that! Since then I have done three more and love them. I am sure that Hydrower has some great features for the person that knows something but I knew nothing and just wanted someone to motivate me. Thank you Dark horse. I truly hope that I fall in love with this machine and it doesn't sit in a corner collecting dust! LOL..
Does the resistance change when you are really hammering on it?
My Concept 2 Type A, circa 1983, will swim circles around this expensive equipment.
I’d be careful trying to take your rower swimming
There would be only one reason for me to use a waterrower. The fact that quieter than a concept 2 and so more usable in an apartment. But my most important motivaton over the last years were the comparabe results because of the calibrated perfomance monitors with every rower over the planet. It´s the standard an so I know how good or how bad I am really. So was my decision to go in an gym to train on a concept 2. Personally I don´t need big monitors or some apps. I really need the concrete and right information of the performance monitor and the logbook. That´s enough for me.
Nice honest review. I think these look neat, but I don't think it's enough (even with the fancy monitor) to tempt me away from my RowErg. :)
Totally understand. Once you have one you like, makes sense to stick with it
As a former Waterrower owner…the Concept 2 is superior. The City Row computer looks way better than the Waterrower one. I love Concept 2 Strava integration and the mobility of the Concept 2. But this was a great review. Thanks Shane!
Fair! I appreciate the experience from both sides.
how about something for us older guys.... like over 50,,, what would be good times for 50....55.....60.....65....and 70 year ol guys for the 2000....not rank beginners but guys who do row at least 3 to 5 days a week....
What are your thoughts on a dynamic rower such as Oartec?
hi bro, can u do a review on Adidas R-21 Water Rower or the 21x?
Can you review the Sunny Health and Fitness Obsidian Surge 500 Water Rowing Machine? It's about $500 USD from Amazon. I am 6'2" tall and I am concerned about the length of the track for the seat.
I just picked up a little hydraulic rower as I don’t have much space. Trying to get some mobility back as I have MS. Are the hydraulic rowers any good? Ps it was quite cheap on FB market place
if you use it, break a sweat, don't incur any joint/tendonitis issues then it's fine. But I think they were more popular moreso when C2 was still in its very early years. If it has any kind of monitor that lets you do intervals, that would be good. If not, you could use some kind of stopwatch type app or similar.
Total random question: what kind of floor mats do you have in your garage?
Hey Mr. Rower guy I have a weird issue about 10-15 min in my lower body goes numb like if I sit on the toilet for 10-15 minutes. Any idea how to avoid this. It by like my foot and calf.
I like my concept 2 but I would like more workouts. something more
Things like this def bring more interesting options around
I'd be curious what you think of the Aviron rower
Me too!
Have you reviewed the Aviron? Great machine with many workout options. Great customer service and a fantastic rowing community.
Unfortunately not yet. One of these days!
Does anyone out there have any tips to combat the lower back tension I've recently experienced when I row ? Thanks in advance.
Question : what do you recommend for me to get a better 500 meter row. I am at 2:40 on my row and I need pointers how to make my time faster .
get taller.
If you can't get taller (that made me laugh), work on your technique. Faster times are mainly about a powerful drive. Work those legs hard! Good technique is free speed. I'm only 5ft6 and I can row a 500m at around 1:49 with a stroke rate of 34spm. (Fitness stops me going faster right now!) Deadlifts, squats, lunges - all part of the key!
Love your review! Would love to see one on Aviron! Purchased one and awaiting delivery. Thoroughly researched them all. Especially with my knee problems and was impressed with the Rower and Aviron community. Would love to hear your insight into it. Thanks
Good choice! I'd love to get my hands on one soon.
Same here researched them all and chose Aviron. I just ordered 1/28 so I have a few weeks to go. Avirons Facebook Community is great too BTW.
Does rowing slim your waist?
Nice to hear that this one has a “just row” feature. Is it programmable in any way? My concern with these subscription based machines has been the fear that the company may go out of business. My Concept2 will reasonably last me 10-20 years. But will a Peloton bike or a Hydrow be usable in even 5?
Your Concept2 will out live you.. If judging by the boys in crew I've watched over the years use those machines to death and they still work beautifully. That's why I bought my own Concept2, mine will never get that level of abuse.
Ha! This is true. As evidenced by Model A’s still being fully functional
What kind of Nike shoes are you wearing in this video?
I have a sunny phantom (water) rower, which I have been using for about 3 months. I've been continuously learning about rowing over this time. your videos have been an excellent resource for my improvement. One thing I have noticed is the while rowing to yours and other's videos. I can't get my 500 meter split anywhere near the 2 or even 3 minute mark. I recently discovered the monitor on my machine only calculates meters rowed as a fixed distance per stroke. This means that no matter how much effort I put into each stroke, my distance is fixed. Machines like the concept 2 and other more expensive units use "perpetual motion" for meters per stroke which allows for more meters per stroke for more effort.
I like the rower, as it gives me a great workout, but it's disconcerting to see my monitor read 5 or 6 minute split when the person on the video is doing 1.5 or so. Of course, the video person is also doing 2000 plus meters while I'm only showing about 750.
I don't expect to match world records, but it would be nice to about least be at maybe 2 to 3 min splits instead of 5 or 6 while the video is at 1.5 :-)
If I had known this when considering my purchase. I would have made a different (more expensive) purchase.
Could you look into this and maybe do a video on it so people, can know this information before buying. I think this is very important information for anyone who is really wanting to use their rower in a serious manner, and should be advertised.
Thanks for doing your videos. They are helpful and useful. Please keep doing your great work.

Missing your video uploads on youtube, Shane. Anything wrong - or changed strategy? - Last Twitter tweet of yours (Jun 15) about NFTs ...?
Definitely looks better than the ergatta, but I just can’t get away from Concept 2!
I get you.
Where did you go?? Missing you
I'm still here. New videos are in edit as we speak!
Is Shane no longer doing videos? or doing dark horse rowing training anymore?
Hey, I'm still here. Promise. I've taken a long break for my own health all around and to regather. Videos will be coming back within the month.
@@DarkHorseRowing Glad to hear that. All one has to do is see your form in this video and it becomes clear you are needed. Most of the time you see a video of someone on a water rower, it seems like their butt is too close to being under them at the catch. They get little hip action, they are all legs and arms. Never with you.
Have you stopped creating content?
Looks scary🤣
Cityrowgo app or DarkHorse crew?
Ha, I see what you did there. Honestly they’re just different. It’s what kind of experience you want. They’re heavily video based and studio classes. We’re more text based but highly community driven and we offer form feedback so they’re just very different products. Why not both :)
I. Just don't need the fluff, (studio rah rah) I like the content you put out it suits me, I might see if I can trial it. 🤔 Thx
Why buy subscription ??? When I can watch a great instructor like you for nothing???
There's a lot to be said for paying a coach for organization and a plan. Random workouts are great for a little bit but rarely help you in the long run.
the problem is if you do not the have internet or the go bankrupt, the machine is useless. they should allow one to fully program the rowers to any type of workout you want to do. i like the app that you could subscribe to like pelton. if you want it than you can airplay it to a large tv. the products are over priced. but with app if you want instructions. dark horse rowing should due this paid instruction for different levels but on youtube. people know you are a expert ob rowing and youtube is much easier to use. i can watch it on my tv.
Just 2cents...I watch your videos regularly, but the change of video shots ,side shots while you're talking is so distracting .Keeping the shot of you talking directly to the camera keeps the personal touch that , I think makes your videos better than others to watch. I worry that you're trying to improve on something you already had perfect.
Concept 2 all day long……
They each have their merits
I'm guessing between $1500 to over $2000. Nope
Nope.
Look at them ears daaaamn 👂👂👂👂👂👂👂👂👂👂👂👂👂👂👂👂👂
🤣🤣 I see you’re new here
“We are more than the bodies we inhabit," Fawkes said. "They're little more than clothes, and yet we judge so much by them.”
“Judging others is easy because it distracts us from the responsibility of judging ourselves.”
Why won’t you reply to these questions? I really thought you were more responsible than that! Disappointed …
