The Ergatta Rower might just turn the tide of your current cardio routine since this is one of the most amazing indoor fitness equipment we've tested for simulating the open-water experience. If you lovingly long for that salty sea air when you work out, good news: the future of fitness is already here, matey.

Most of this magnificent machine is handcrafted from American cherry wood, and sitting down in the curvy, cushioned seat for the first time felt like climbing aboard a half-digital, half-analogue canoe - in an Uncanny Valley sort of way. Instead of a belt or fan-driven mechanisms, there's a crystal-clear water tank to provide a considerable amount of resistance as you depart the digital shores.
