Hi - congrats on your amazing looking product and experience!

I just purchased an Ergatta 2 weeks ago, waiting for delivery. In what circumstances would I want your product instead of the Ergatta?

Background: I'm an avid peloton user for 3 years now, (also just picked up the tempo.fit for guided lifting) and am looking to mix in intense rowing sessions. The Ergatta looks compelling for gamified sessions with competition.

Change my mind?

ha ha great question! Ergatta is a great product. They also offer some versions of competitive workouts. Where Aviron differs is our machines are built with dual magnetic and air resistance, this allows our machines to go to much higher resistance levels. For example, our strength programs will guide you through bicep curls and back rows where you are “lifting” 50+ Lbs. with each pull. A water rower on the other hand does not have variable resistance settings. Aviron also incorporates fully animated video games that include being chased by zombies and throw backs to old school favorites like pong and brick breaker.
