And now, after 30 days of consistent rowing, I can confidently say that my legs do indeed feel stronger than ever. Moreover, I've yet to get tired of this workout. Here's how my last month of workouts went, and how I'm feeling now.
Hydrow Arc Rower $2,295.00 at Hydrow Shop Now Shop Now $2,295.00 at HydrowWhen it comes to the machine itself, the Hydrow's 24-inch pivoting HD touchscreen immediately became my favorite feature. It's the company's largest display yet, and when you're mid-workout, staring at an instructor rowing through scenic waterways in Croatia or the Charles River, that immersive quality actually matters. It helped pull me in enough that I was able to forget I was suffering through the last two minutes of a power interval.
Weeks two and three: Starting to build strength
The HydroMetrics system (Hydrow's proprietary tracking feature) became oddly addictive during this phase. It measures your performance across three key areas: Precision (how consistent your stroke is), Endurance (how well you maintain output), and Power (how much force you generate). Watching those scores improve gave me concrete proof that I wasn't just feeling stronger—I was getting stronger. As my 30-day HydroMetrics Index climbed, that gamification kept me coming back.
Rowing is often referred to as a full-body workout, and after a month, I certainly understand why. If you haven't committed to it, you might assume rowing is more of an upper body workout. But one of the first things I learned with my Arc is that I needed to be driving power way more from my legs than I previously realized. After a month, my core felt more stable, my posture had improved (from all that engagement during the drive phase), and my arms—while not the primary focus—definitely were more toned.
The bottom line
After 30 days with the Hydrow Arc rower, my legs feel stronger than ever—not in a "I can't walk up stairs" way, but in a "I feel powerful and capable" way. The machine delivered on the promise of building what Hydrow cutely refers to as "Fluid Strength": that sort of full-body, functional fitness that makes everyday life easier.
Is the Arc a perfect workout solution? Well, it's a high-quality machine with a large footprint and a premium price tag, so it's not for everyone. But if you're serious about building strength efficiently, want a low-impact workout that actually challenges you, and appreciate smart technology that adapts to your progress, it's worth considering, despite the substantial investment necessary. After 30 days, I'm not just stronger—I'm hooked on rowing.
