Totally get why you built one to meet your needs, but any thoughts on opening the app up? That is where the gap in the market is. I have a Water Rower, so I won't be buying your hardware (sorry), but if you open the app up I would be interested to try. I understand some of your workouts won't work without the resistance control, but there is a market out there for a good app. Since you already have one, might be a reasonable thing to look at. Although if all of the workouts need the resistance, than that could be a non started.

Looks super cool though. And I wish you luck. If I were in the market for a rower, and not already have one mostly collecting dust, it would be something I would definitely look hard at.

There's a "Personal Membership" option on the website that seems to allow you to use your own rower.

Unfortunately, the membership only works with our rower at this time. But might be something we look into in the future.

Thanks for the feedback. I think this is something we will certainly explore in the future.
