Aviron

Aviron sells connected cardio equipment direct from its own storefront: rowing machines, exercise bikes, treadmills and an abs trainer, with a screen on each machine running coach-led classes, games and streaming apps. US machines start at $1,999 for the Strong Series Rower. Aviron also publishes a commercial line under the Tough Series name and sells a separate commercial membership.

What matters when choosing

Three things are worth checking before you order, and none of them are about the screen.

The membership is optional, and Aviron says so in its own words. Its membership page states that a membership is recommended but not required, and labels the metrics display as available without internet connection or membership. Resistance and incline still adjust either way. Paid plans are $29 per month on annual billing or $34 month-to-month, with a one-time perpetual option at $2,499.

The long warranty is conditional on that membership. The 20-year limited warranty applies while a periodic membership stays active, requires purchase directly from Aviron, and requires activation within 90 days. Cancel and the cover drops to the standard terms, where treadmill frames and drive motors carry 10 years, other parts carry one year, and accessories carry 12 months. The one-time perpetual membership is not eligible for the 20-year tier.

Size is the constraint most buyers hit first. The Strong Series Rower is 84" long, 27" wide and 48" high at 114 lb. It stores upright at 35" x 27" x 83" with no wall mount. User limit is 507 lb, and the published height limit is approximately 6'8".

Before you buy

• Decide whether the 20-year tier is part of your purchase decision, because it depends on an ongoing membership, a direct purchase and activation within 90 days. If you expect to stop paying, budget on the standard terms instead.
• Measure the floor space for the machine and for its upright storage position. The rower is 84" front to back and does not need anchoring or a wall mount.
• Read the return terms before ordering. A first return gets a prepaid label with no fee; a second return carries a 25% restocking charge plus shipping, and orders shipping to Alaska or Hawaii are excluded.
