First Look

Aviron App Review

You may be familiar with the rowing machine brand Avrion for its gamified workouts, dual air and magnetic resistance, and high-tech HD touchscreen displays. We’ve done extensive testing and written an Aviron Rower review detailing our hands-on experience and the difference between the brand’s two rowing machine models.

But what if you’re looking for the best rowing app to use on your existing rower? Well, Aviron recently launched an app for iOS devices that’s compatible with Concept2 rowers.

For our Aviron app review, we’re taking a first look at how it compares to the rowing experience of an Aviron rower.

The Best In Home Gym Equipment

We’ll be honest: narrowing down our picks for the best home gym equipment was difficult. Not just because there are a lot of categories to cover, but what’s good for one lifter may not be good for another.

So with that in mind, let’s see how our team of certified personal trainers, competitive weightlifters, and home gym equipment experts would design their dream home gym with everything from barbells and weight plates to the very floor we’d be standing on.

We’ve had our hands and/or feet on every item listed, and for every category we’ve tested dozens, if not hundreds, of different pieces of equipment, so we could be confident in our top pick for each one.
