Love what you are building! I'm a huge fan of meditation but haven't found one I can keep with. I've tried all the apps but fall off after a couple of sessions or weeks. I'm going to sign up for the free trial. Do you recommend any classes, preferably shorter ones, that I should start with?
That is amazing to hear! That is exactly what we are hoping to help with. I would recommend starting with our teacher MK. She has a 30 minute class this coming Tuesday at 12pm PST. We have seen better onboarding experiences when starting with the live classes (and we rec at least 2 classes a week). I know 45 minutes sounds long, but it does go by quickly. The signature (longer) class also is really great for new community members because we give more of an explanation about what to expect at the beginning. If you are up for it, I would recommend starting with MK's 1pm PST class tomorrow (Friday)! Let me know how that sounds!
Great questions!
1: 60db is with moderate rowing. With hard rowing, it doesn't get much louder compared with say the Concept2 thanks to the nylon belt and smaller fan blades.
2: Still some basic functionality including a profile with workout history and controlling resistance. More details here - https://www.avironactive.com/membership/
We usually try not to position ourselves as the Peloton for rowing but it made sense here for people to quickly understand what we do.
I think Peloton adding a rower is a great thing, it is going to bring more awareness to the benefits of rowing. We differentiate ourselves from Peloton through out content. While they are best in class at instructor led workouts, we aim to be best in class at high intensity and competitive video games, races, and strength programs. There is certainly going to be some overlap.
We added a variety of guided off the rower programs that include exercises like push-ups. We even do things like use the frame to let the user perform incline and decline push-ups.
I subscribe to peloton but can’t see myself subscribing to this.
I subscribe to peloton because I get new content every single day, live rides and even things like T-shirt’s shipped to me when I hit milestones. This feels like a membership but without any particular level of membership benefits.
I’m sure you will find a market though and hope you are hugely successful!
I can understand that. When Peloton first came out they were releasing content as often as we are now. Over time I'm sure we will get better. Thank you!
