Rower pulling an indoor rowing machine handle

Your rower's been waiting.

rowerM8 gives the rower you already own a reason to be used again: motivation, progress and a little company. It works with your iPhone and Apple Watch.

Why rowerM8

A reason to row again.

Motivation, progress and a little company. Every row is saved, so you can see yourself get better, beat your last row and keep your streak going on the rower you already own.

How it works

Three steps to a smarter erg.

1

Wear your Apple Watch and start a row.

Your watch counts every stroke and turns it into meters. No extra hardware.

2

See yourself get better.

Every row is saved. Your history, personal bests and trends show your progress on your own rower.

3

Beat your last row.

Race your previous row and your best, and keep your streak going.
