Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Hydrow Wave require a subscription?
The Hydrow Wave connects to the Hydrow app, which provides access to live and on-demand rowing workouts. A separate Hydrow membership subscription is required to access the full content library. Basic metrics can be tracked without a subscription, but the full workout experience requires an active membership.
How does vertical storage work?
The Hydrow Wave can be stored upright using the optional Vertical Anchor accessory, which is sold separately. When stored vertically, the footprint is approximately 26.5" x 30". The Vertical Anchor must be wall-mounted and is not included with the rower.
What connectivity does the Hydrow Wave support?
The Wave connects via Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac) and Bluetooth. An optional Ethernet port (100Mbps / RJ45) is also available. It pairs with Bluetooth headphones, speakers, and heart rate monitors, and syncs data to Strava and Apple Watch.
What is the weight limit?
The Hydrow Wave supports users up to 375 lbs (170 kg) and is designed to accommodate users with an inseam of up to 36".
How loud is the Hydrow Wave during use?
The Wave uses a high-quality polyester webbing drive system rather than a chain or cable, which produces a smooth and relatively quiet stroke. It is designed to be suitable for home and apartment use, though individual noise levels will vary based on environment and intensity.
What does the warranty cover?
The structural frame is covered for 5 years. The screen, electronics, and components (including the handle, strap, seat assembly, and screen carriage hinge) are covered for 12 months. Labor is also covered for 12 months from the date of purchase.
