MERACH Nova Row R50 - budget friendly to Concept 2 @Merachfit #merach #merachR50 #ad

We are back with another video and another rower. This is the third rower that we are reviewing on this channel and this is the best rower that they offer. This is their air rower. So we have reviewed their electromagnetic rower, their water rower, which is a two-in-one electromagnetic and water, and this is their air rowing machine. Now we are going to unbox this thing. We're going to see how fast it comes together how fast it gets put together and then we are going to test it out so you can see everything that this thing offers and all the features that it comes with and see if it's something that would be good for your home workout setup without further ado let's unbox this bad boy now this one is going to require a little bit of assembly but not too much this is all you have to work with so one two three four five six seven pieces technically six pieces and then your parts list so let's put this thing together real quick and then get down to business now i will say one thing for me personally is easy assembly i have gotten gym equipment before that was a total pain to put together it took me hours and hours to put stuff together before and i do not enjoy that process now this is the Merake Nova Row R50 Air rower and this thing is your budget friendly alternative to the Concept 2 which is what you've probably seen in your local gym. Now let's talk about the key features that this air rower provides and get into the nitty-gritty of all the little things that this one gives you. It's easy to move around and it's not heavy so all you got to do is tilt it up onto the wheels and roll it to wherever you want to do the workout and then put it away into the corner onto the wall wherever you want in your house so there's that bonus it doesn't have to stay in the same place you don't need a dedicated spot for this machine. I will say this machine is definitely bigger than the other rowers that I've seen that Merake offers but this is the only air rower that they have that you do not need power or a power source to operate this thing has no electromagnetic resistance you don't need to fill it up with water all you got to do is assemble it and it is ready to go and as you saw the assembly was super easy it took me about 10 minutes to put this thing together there's a total of eight bolts you have to bolt in flip it over lock it into place and you're ready to train does break down so it's actually two pieces you have the main piece here with the fan and then you have the piece with the seat and they disconnect so if you want to store it and save yourself some space when you're not using it you can disconnect the lower from the upper using just this method right here you raise it up pops right off and now you turn this long piece into two smaller pieces this rower has a professional grade air resistance system with 32 fan blades that you can adjust from 1 to 10 and it goes all the way up to 110 pounds of resistance you've got the adjustable foot straps and they're also adjustable with the size so you can adjust it based on the size of your foot if you've got little feet big feet or right there in the middle a really cool thing about this one when you're comparing it to the Concept 2 is you've got a softer seat so it's not soft like a pillow but but it's not rock solid like the Concept 2, for example. It is softer and it is more pliable, so you're not gonna get sore sitting on it for an extended period of time, especially on those long row sessions where you're just on it for an hour, hour and a half when you're going for those long endurance races. Chain on this rower is nickel-plated steel, so they did not go cheap on the chain. It's actually high quality, built to last and not break down on you. I like that they have this little rest right here. I can just put my phone right in it, and this is holding up my phone. So I can do my rowing exercises with my phone in place if I wanna watch a video, or if I want to pull up the Merake app and do the challenges on the app or follow along on one of the workouts that they provide on their app. The Merake app that is free that you can get and start working out and start following their workouts. They have challenges, they have exercises that you can follow along. You can even race with other people. So it'll put you on a 3D map it'll show you where you're going in comparison to other people who are on the race. They have challenges on there all the time. So you can race against people. They'll have set times and dates for these things. Very intuitive, very cool app that comes with every Merake purchase. And you can just download it right on your phone and get started as soon as you unpack and build your product. Just like all of the Merake rowers, this one is compatible with the app that we mentioned and you can sync it up via Bluetooth to the app. So you can measure resistance levels. You can measure distance traveled you can measure calories burned tell you things about your workout that you would never know if you didn't have this compatibility with technology so i love that part about it and all of the Merake rowers are great in that sense that it comes with the Merake app that tells you and tracks all of your progress this is the third rower that i've reviewed from Merake and i've done two other rowers that they offer so this is their air rower this is going to be your budget-friendly alternative to the Concept 2, which is what is out there in most commercial gyms, what most people talk about when they mention rowers. They're going to be like, oh, a Concept 2. But a Concept 2 is expensive, and this is much, much less for the same quality and same features that the Concept 2 offers. If you want to check out the other Merake rowers, you can check them out here. I did reviews on their electromagnetic rower and on their water rower, both of which have special features and options that this one might not offer and something that might fit your home or your style a little bit better check those out if you're interested i will link them into the description oh i would say if you are in the market for an air rower and you wanted to get a Concept 2 but the price tag on that was a little bit too far out of your budget then this is absolutely a budget-friendly version of the Concept 2 that provides all the same features if not improves on a lot of the features of the Concept 2 so you can get your long rowing sessions in get that cardio workout that is different from your standard running or swimming or stair master right from the comfort of your own home as always smash that like smash that subscribe if you guys enjoyed this video if you have any questions about the product or anything at all drop them in the comments and i will be happy to answer your questions if you want more details i will link their website and all of their products in the description below you guys to check it out. The rower is one of my favorite go-to cardio exercises because I hate running and I hate swimming. So this is probably my favorite one because it gets your upper body involved and still gets your heart rate up without having to just work your legs or run or go on a stair master
