Introducing Aviron’s Newest Rowing Machine (Strong Series)

By combining all of the best features that a connected rower can have, including a ton of Aviron-exclusive (patent pending) innovations, Aviron has created a machine that’s hard to beat when compared to anything else on the market.

This latest rowing machine brings with it all of the best features of their original machines, like their unique game-led software approach, while also packing in a ton of new features and benefits that take this rowing machine over the top.

The Design (Hardware)

While we all know that programming tends to be our favorite part of a connected rowing machine, the hardware and design are equally important. And when it comes to Aviron, they’ve really upped their game with the Strong Series Rower. The following features and highlights make Aviron’s design hard to beat:

• Beautifully simply, modern, and sleek design (it’s a good-looking rower!)
• Premium build thanks to the steel and aluminum construction that ensures comfort and durability for the long-term (and it’s backed by a 10-year warranty on the rower body)
• Compact size that fits smaller spaces (total length is 84” from front to back)
• Rotating screen for a holistic, full-body workout experience that allows you to go on and off the rower
• Patent-pending foot/hip width adjustment for maximum comfort across all body types and sizes
• Dual resistance system that includes both air and magnetic resistance. The air resistance helps users feel like they’re out on the water rowing while the magnetic resistance delivers exceptionally strong and smooth torque that will allow you to get an efficient, customized workout every single time.
• 100 lbs of resistance allow users to get the benefits of both strength and cardio training all in one machine.
• An included fan that blows directly on the user while rowing allows you to keep cool and comfortable even through the toughest, sweatiest of workouts.
• Upright storage that does not require a wall mount (as most competitors do) allows you to store your Strong Series Rower upright when not in use. Plus, there are two locking wheels for safety.
• Incredibly inclusive for users of all sizes. Aviron’s Strong Series caters to individuals who have mobility restrictions and can accommodate users up to 507 lbs and 6’8” in height, which is industry-leading.
• Included phone holder positioned on an angle below the handle facing upwards helps to ensure that you don’t miss anything while you row.
• Patent-pending foot/hop width adjustment mechanism allows users to adjust the width between their feet (legs and hips) for a comfortable workout for users with all body types.

Plus, Aviron is now offering upgrades and accessories to make your rowing experience even more comfortable:

• Cloud Seat is available for those who wish to upgrade to a seat that includes a softer, more comfortable feel.
• Lumbar support kit add-on is available to offer back support and is designed for those who have back issues and those who are actively aging.

The Experience (Software)

The Aviron experience is unlike any other. From the gaming-inspired workouts to the ability to stream from your favorite apps, it’s hands-down the most versatile rowing experience. And it keeps getting better!

Here are the highlights of the software you’ll find on the new Aviron Strong Series Rower:

• Aviron uses habit-forming psychology and gaming design to get users motivated and keep them consistently using the machine, coming back for more day after day.
• A simple, easy-to-navigate user interface. 
• Over 500 individual workout options across 8 very diverse categories to engage users both mentally and physically with multi-player games, team-based competition, guided programs, scenic rows, and much more.
• Streaming options right on your screen while you row - Aviron has fully integrated apps that allow users to use their Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and YouTube, all while seamlessly viewing their workout stats and metrics.
• Live workouts, achievement badges, monthly challenges, add and follow fellow Aviron rowers (friends), victory photos, Aviron coins, and tons of other social features that allow you to feel part of the community.
• Aviron is committed to releasing 2+ software updates each quarter, each of which is packed with 2-3 major releases and 5+ smaller updates. 

What’s the Difference Between the Strong Series and the Tough Series Rower?

Aviron has announced that the Strong Series will be replacing their premium Tough Series Rower, claiming the title of the premium model that will be sold alongside the Impact Series Rower. The Strong Series was designed to improve upon the Tough Series, ensuring that it’s an all-around better machine and a better experience.

Final Thoughts: Is The Strong Series Rower the Best Rowing Machine on the Market?

The Strong Series Rower is making a huge statement by covering the needs and wants of home rowers in nearly every way possible, which certainly earns it the title of “the best.” Aviron is a very unique, highly dedicated company that takes the needs, concerns, and input of its users very seriously, always working to optimize their experience and make it better.

To be honest, I was surprised to hear that Aviron would be launching a new model as I truly love and enjoy the first release. But after getting the opportunity to experience the Strong Series Rower for myself and to check out the new features and design, I am blown away by Aviron’s dedication to constantly improving their user experience. It’s abundantly clear that Aviron took the feedback they’ve received from their users and used that to develop the Strong Series, which appears to address almost every need one might have when it comes to connected rowing.

If you’re looking for a premium quality rowing experience, it really doesn’t get any better than the Aviron Strong Series Rower. Plus, you can rest assured that it will only continue to get better as the team is always making updates and improvements to enhance your experience.
